Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Dear Bhagavathaas, Here are some of adiyen's thoughts on creation. Some of it may sound repetetive, as many others have shared their thoughts. I think a basic Hindu concept is One became Everything. It is vishiSHTa and advaita! It is transformation and not creation perse. It is not whether God exists, rather only God exists. The Sanskrit word for creation sreSHTi means out pouring. There is no creation in the sense of the Biblical creation, where explicitly it is stated that God created this and that. This is the take home message of puruSHa sUktam (PS). Every Hindu thought is pretty much an elaboration of PS. I will seperately post a literal translation of PS. Perhaps we can understand it from the following anology: Hydrogen atom is the building block for all the elements, In other words, all elements are an extension of H atom. The diamond that glitters to radium that glows are all extension or projection of H atom. We are made of some of these elements. We are an extension of H atom as well. So also this computer and everything else. Of course H atom itself is pretty much empty (99.9999% of it is nothing or avyakta). However the shape of H atom and shape of everything else is due to the void. In a way nothing is projecting something. If that void is missing, our size would be reduced by more than 99.99%! daasan, Koti Sreekrishna Tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
