Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 Chapter 9 Verse 7 Sarva-bhuutaani Kaunteya prakriti.n yaanti maamikaam / kalpa-kshaye punas taani kalp'aadau visrijaamy aham // All beings, O son of Kunti, go back to My nature at the end of a cycle, I send them forth again at the beginning of the (next) cycle. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 86 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji "All beings, O son of Kunti, go back to My nature at the end of a cycle, I send them forth again at the beginning of the (next) cycle." The Lord’s creative activity takes place as an eternal cyclic process of Kalpas and Pralayas. The period when the beings are brought forth is called Kalpa and the period when the whole creation is withdrawn is called Pralaya. Just as waves rise and merge in the ocean, all beings come out of Lord’s Nature (Prakriti) and dissolve into it. But, it should be noted that nothing is destroyed at the time of dissolution. All living germs of life remain latent in the Lord’s Prakriti at the time of Pralaya, just as our souls remain latent in our deep-sleep state. At the beginning of a new cycle after the period of dissolution (Pralaya) is over, the Lord brings them out again.
