This phenomenal objective world is a mysterious creation. There is no clue whatsoever as to how and why this is created. However, there are any number of agama shastra samhitas, Vedic Texts, Upanishad that hold the secrets. The Bhagavad-Gita explains everything about Creation in simple clear statements. But our problem is one of lack of sincere interest to know and understand, We go on asking others as if they know and answer all our problems, particularly when these are our own creations.
Let's be clear as to this mysterious creation. Everything is just chemical bonds and energy in its multifarious manifestations. We have seen how some sort of life like the earth worms appear during the rainy season. Life appears if some water and soil are found suitable, may it be insects, worms or snails and the like. Higher forms are just modifications suitable to environment. Here the fundamental principle is one of manifestation. The Scriptures state that everything is 'brahman'. sarvam kahaluvidam brahma | Literally brahman is the absolute state, and it is one of subtle, invisible or, rather, dynamic state in suspended animation state. The Atman, the core of the substance, the Soul or the 'Self' is one such vibrant energy particle that is animated under a suitable condition, that's all| Once the embodiment takes place it is the body that experiences all the dualities, not the Atman, the soul. One who knows this rests in peace. He who knows the truth is happy and joyful at all times. This is what is stated in sthitaprajnya ka bhasha samdhistasya keshava | in the Gita.
