Causal Creation

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“Creation is of three types - gross, subtle and causal. The visible creation is

called as Sthoola Srishti (gross creation). The cause behind the gross creation

is the Sookshma Srishti (subtle creation) and the cause for subtle creation is

the Kaarana Srishti (causal creation). In the order of creation, the causal

creation comes first. Let us therefore understand about Kaarana Srishti first.

 

We have observed that the Moola Prakriti that has the predominance of Rajas is

called as Avidya. This Avidya has innumerable forms. Thus, the forms of

Chaitanya (consciousness) which are reflected in it are also innumerable. They

are called as Jeevis.

 

Similarly, the consciousness which gets reflected in the Moola Prakriti that has

the predominance of Shuddha Satva is called as Ishwara. The Chaitanya that

reflects in the Moola Prakriti that has the predominance of Rajas is called

Jeeva. The Vyashti (the individual aspect) form of Avidya becomes the Karana

Shareera (causal body) of the Jeevis whereas for Ishwara, the Samashti (the

totality) form of Moola Prakriti becomes the Karana Shareera. When the Jeevis

are in the Vyashti form of Avidya, it becomes Sushupti for him. The Karana

Shareera of Jeeva and Ishwara are referred to as Anandamaya Kosha. This itself

is called as the causal creation."
