Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 The books use the following illustration to help explain creation: The Self is like the canvas for a painting. First paste is smeared over it to close the small holes that are in the canvas. This paste can be compared to the Antaryamin (Indweller) in all creation. Then the artist makes an outline on the canvas. This can be compared to the sukshma sarira (subtle body) of all creatures; for instance, the light and sound (bindu and nada) out of which all things arise. Within this outline the artist paints his picture with colours, etc., and this can be compared to the gross forms that constitute the world. (Gems from Bhagavan, selected by A.
