He is the Creator of the arrangement of things. He is the Creator Himself and the Lord of the Creator. Explanation : 1. Birth is given to matter, force and mind by the higher principle which pervades these three entities. The higherprinciples make their own manifestation by their higher impulse. The impulse itself is the cause of the birth of all the series of the lower and higher principles whereas the impulse is born of itself Hence it is the Lord's power of self-manifestation. Even in us also the soul and spirit produce their own impulse to manifest and the lower principles are given birth to. 2. 'Sam' in Sanskrit is a man tram which means poise or peace. When meditated, the sound produces poise. This is possible only when meditated in a peaceful manner.. An attempt to relax the attempt and be peaceful produces peace. Peace in its turn gives the experience of peace. This aspect of the Lord is called Sambhuh. 3. Adityah Aditi is the mother of all the devas and also the Supreme Lord. In fact, the supreme God principle is self-existing without mother and father. When he wants to come down as creation, He gives oUt the mother-principle which was hitherto slumbering in Him. She comes down and conceives Him in her womb as her child. Then the Lord comes down as the first manifestation of the Lord who is called Virat or Hiranyagarbha, the self-effulgent egg. This mother-principle descends into all MEANING:  Invoke the Lord as self-born, born out of peace, and the one who manifests through peace, as peace; the son of Aditi and the one who has eyes resembling the tender petals of white lotus; the great sound of the universe; as the One who has neither beginning nor ending.

In fact, the supreme God principle is self-existing without mother and father. When he wants to come down as creation, He gives out the mother-principle which was hitherto slumbering in Him. She comes down and conceives Him in her womb as her child. Then the Lord comes down as the first manifestation of the Lord who is called Virat or Hiranyagarbha, the self-effulgent egg. This mother-principle descends into all the series of planes of creation upto the grossest material plane, conceiving the Lord as the omnipresence in each of the planes. She is called Aditi. Therefore the Lord is understood as the child of Aditi.  4. The night-lotus is a symbol of the glory of night in Indian symbolism. The eyes that are open ( aware) during the night of dissolution are compared to the petals of a night lotus. The eyes of the Lord are not physical and hence they have no wink either in creation or dissolution. The word Pushkara esoterically means the source of replenishing and fulfilment. The graceful look of the Lord fills the whole universe with fullness and replenishes everything with mind, life and food.  5. Great sound means the totality of the utterance of the whole universe in all its detail as the spell of the one word, OM. It means the sound principle which exists in space and which forms the back-ground of all the sound vibrations of all planes. This is invoked as the Presence of the Lord here.  6. Beginning and ending are to the Feation and the creator but not to the background. When clay is made into a pot and when the pot is broken, there is a beginning and an ending to the pot but not to the clay. The Lord forms the clay of the whole universe which imbeds the potter in every atom of it. Hence, he has neither birth nor death.  7. The word Dhaata denotes the creator, who is the content of the self-effulgent golden egg and who manifests as fourÂfaced Brahma. Since he comes out of the background Lord along with the egg, the four-faced Brahma is also remembered as the Lord Himself in the capacity of His son..  8. The whole creation is an arrangement of principles that manifest as the folds of sp~ce and time. They unfold into the workings of intelligences, forces and the layers of matter. All these exist dormant in the egg like the colour, fragrance and shape of the tender petals in a bud which is the would be flower. The one who takes care of the arrangement of this totality is called Vidhaata. On lower mental plane and the plane of force and matter, He is understood as the law of inevitability which is called fate. A proof of the existence of this principle is the manifestation of everything according to its own nature and set properties.  9. If the Creator who is the totality of the intelligence of one unit creation is to meditate, he has to meditate upon his own presence as his own background whom he can conceive as the Lord. Therefore the Lord is Supreme even in the eyes of the creator himself  COURTESY-MASTER E.K  Regards Bharathi.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
