The self is the centre of the whole creation

The self is the centre of the whole creation

Everything in the world is dynamic and changes.

This seen world is eliminated. It conveys you a message. It gives you an idea of how great the consciousness is. Every aspect in the world is an expression of God. Everything is active.

“Prakasha” means manifesting. Everything is manifested from the consciousness. We manifest, flowers come out. Everything in this universe is dynamic. It is not static. There is nothing that is static. Even though the mountains appear to be static, they are not static. They are all dynamic. Every atom is dynamic.

"Sthiti". They all undergo certain stage of evolution. Everything has a stage, has a state. Everything is governed by certain principles and certain qualities.

"Bhutendriyatmakam". The entire creation is made up of five elements. Five elements, five sense organs, five organs of perception and five organs of action. These are the ten organs. The entire creation is endowed by these ten. The mind is also a part of the creation.

"Bhoga apavargartham." This entire creation is there to give you pleasure and relief. Whatever gives you pleasure will also give you relief. Do you see what I am saying? Otherwise the pleasure becomes a pain.

You like beautiful music. How long can you enjoy music? One hour, two hours, some of us twenty four hours music, seven days a week! You cannot breathe. You shut it off! That wonderful music which gave you so much pleasure, if its over done, that brings you pain. So that has to give you relief also. Do you see that? The entire creation gives you enjoyment and liberation and relieves you. You have to get yourself liberated from all this at some time or the other. Otherwise that becomes pain.

“The self is pure consciousness only, but when it gets mixed up with the intellect, it gets covered.”

The self, though it is ever pure, untainted, it is just a witness. But when it becomes one with the buddhi, the intellect, then it gets colored. It appears as though it is colored. Somebody who is stuck with their intellect, they just stick to their thoughts and ideas as though it is their own. They suffer a lot. The self is the centre of the whole creation.

Om Namah Shivay.
