The Scheme of Creation

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“All these explanations started in the fifteenth lesson, when we set out to

understand the meaning of Adhyaroopa.

 

The Karana, Sookshma and Sthoola types of creation (in that order, with the

previous type serving as the cause for the subsequent type of creation) took

place in a unique way form the 'Complete Substance', the one without a second.

This is the scheme of creation. This itself is called Adhyaroopa. It means, we

have been superimposing one upon the other.

 

By understanding the underlying superimposition, we have come to know that the

manifest world has come from one single source. 'Is this possible?' one may

ask. Remember that the rope lying in the dark can be mistaken as different

objects - a snake, a thin chain, a thin stream, a crack in the ground, a garland

and so on. Besides, it must be remembered that although there is only one

object there, namely the rope, the mind created so many different objects.

Applying the same analogy, we can understand that the source of different

creations is only one fundamental substance. It was stated in the eighteenth

lesson (while explaining about the Sookshma Srishti) that the Moola Prakriti,

which has the predominance of Tamas, has two different energies, viz., Avarana

Shakti and Vikshepa Shakti. The scheme of creation explained above is in fact

the action of the Vikshepa Shakti."
