The Fundamental Principles of Creation

There is a beautiful explanation as to Creation in the Bhagavad-Gita. The Verse Bhumirapo analo vaayurakasha eva ca | gives the idea how the supreme Lord created the world with His power- 'yogamaya'. This creation is attributed to the power vested in Him! But, what is this power? It is the 'desire' to manifest Himself. This aspect is also made clear in the scriptures. Desire, 'iccha', of the Lord is of paramount importance.Nothing moves, not even a blade of grass moves, without his desire or will.

  The first manifestation of the Lord, the desire to create, is His expansion! The supreme Lord expands to cover the entire universe as the sky, the space (akasha) that occupies as also accommodates everything one can ever imagine! This space is filled by air (vayu) and the friction of the elemental air (Hydrogen- H derived from the Sun (is so light that it is not in the earth?), Oxygen, Nitrogen, and the like) have produced enormous heat (Energy) and fire (anala)! This fire (anala), is everything- the surya (not exactly the Sun, yet unmanifest!)), soma (the elixir,, prithvi- the gross aspect (Earth and Fire)! Rk Veda, Mandala VII (asya vamiya sukta) explains this as tribandhu. Thus, we find how air manifests from akasha and later on air manifests fire and all these produce water and earth, plants, food, and living creatures. 

   There is no conflict in these since the science also explains what the scriptures explain! The only difference is in the language, expression, the equations. Everything is Energy. Hydrogen (H) is the main constituent element and Helium is the manifest form due to fission and fusion (He 4). In a way, everything is Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon compounds. There is nothing but hydro carbons and carbo- hydrates here! The elements and compounds go to make the material world!

  In fact everything is energy and it manifests in different forms.This Energy is neither created nor destroyed. This is what Lord Krishna says in the Gita. "I am neither born, nor do I die". Further, He says, "Arjuna, you too are neither born, nor die! Krishna is Consciousness, Chit, Chiti (Fire), Chaitya, Chetasa, Chaitanya, Consciousness, Knowledge, Technology of Creation and a Transformation, and other forces (shakti)  all that exists! Arjuna depicted in the Gita is the symbol of vibrant Mind, chitta. 

   It is the Energy, Knowledge, and Transformation of the elements and components into chemical compounds that create the multifarious organic, inorganic, and the physical world! We, the humans, are basically cells comprised of nucleic acid, enzymes, vitamins, DNA, genes, chromosomes, harmons and other elements as chemical bonds! The cells go to make tissues, organs and body. The body is sustained by constant replenishment in the form of proteins,carbohydrates and other essentials! The chaitanya, the life-force, and prajnya or consciousness is inherent in these elements as the divine will'!
