Cosmology – The Creation of the Universe
XIV. 3, 4
The objective in creation
Is matrix of the world of things,
The Subject-All alienates
Itself as all this universe.

How does the One become the two,
The subjective and objective?
When All-in-All has no objects,
How come this 'other' than the All?
The subjective and objective?
When All-in-All has no objects,
How come this 'other' than the All?
This itself is a proof that worlds
Which are created, as if were,
Are sheer 'externality',
With no substance in them at all.
Which are created, as if were,
Are sheer 'externality',
With no substance in them at all.
This also shows that God is All
In spite of vast creation's sight;
Creation has no legs to stand
Except as God's Self-beholding.

Except as God's Self-beholding.
What's 'external' to Consciousness
Is Prakriti, that's matter's core;
On this Consciousness broods and sees
Itself reflected mirror-wise.

In early dawn of creation
The One enjoys itself as all;
But later comes the division
Of One alone as threefold strand.

Thus come the seer of the seen
And in between their link unseen,
Adhyatma, Adhibhuta called
And Adhidaiva transcendent.

Hardly one knows this mystery,
How perception deceives us all
And forces all to see 'there out'
What is within the All-in-All.
How perception deceives us all
And forces all to see 'there out'
What is within the All-in-All.
The world persists as binding chain
When perceiver perceived becomes,
And charges on the perceiver
In vicious circle's grasping clutch.

And charges on the perceiver
In vicious circle's grasping clutch.
The seed of every being here
Is sown by That immortal seed,
The seed that has no source beyond,
The causeless cause, Brahman supreme.

XV. 16-20
Mankind and God, seer and seen,
Mind and its objectivity,
Consciousness and its contents vast,
Are called Akshara and Kshara.
Mind and its objectivity,
Consciousness and its contents vast,
Are called Akshara and Kshara.
But beyond this duality,
Above the realms of perception,
Transcendent Truth indwelling all
Is Supreme Person, Purusha, Great.

Knowing this one knows everything,
Doing this one has done all things,
Attaining this one does attain
That undying felicity.
Doing this one has done all things,
Attaining this one does attain
That undying felicity.
