Creation is Real For Souls

[sridatta]

This creation consists of matter, awareness and energy as its components. Matter takes different forms like a pot, table etc. Energy takes different work-forms like light, heat etc. Awareness is also a special work-form of energy, which is generated when the energy functions through a special system called as the nervous system and the brain. The work-forms of awareness are ideas, which if they become firm, are called as qualities (Gunas). For example, charity is a quality, which in the initial stage is only an idea. This world is said to be constituted of the three fundamental qualities (Sattvam, Rajas and Tamas).

But one must remember that this world is made of the three qualities only from the point view of God. This means that only for God is this entire creation imaginary. For a soul, it is not so. For a soul, this world is made of matter, energy and awareness. In fact, matter and awareness are also different forms of energy. Hence, basically creation is made of energy alone. Awareness is the weakest form of energy. Hence, the conclusion is that this world which is made of energy is the weakest for God. Thus, this world is just an imagination for God. For the soul, the world is very strong because the soul itself is awareness, which is the weakest form of energy. This is the scientific explanation for the creation being strong and real for the soul, while for God, the world is just the weakest form of energy or awareness that is modified into qualities.

For God, the imaginary world is made of awareness, which does not require the existence of a nervous system because the unimaginable God does not require the rules of nature as required by the soul. This is said in the Veda that God can walk without feet etc., (Apani Pado...). The knowledge-part is Sattvam, the static inert part is Tamas and the kinetic inert part is Rajas. All these three qualities exist in the imaginary world of God. God is said to be associated with this creation constituted of these three qualities (Trigunatmaka). Your spiritual effort also needs the existence of these three qualities and hence your effort (sadhana) is also constituted of these three qualities.

Before making a conclusion, you must analyze the subject from various angles so that after the decision you must not have any doubt. This analysis is Sattvam. The firmness in the decision which stands like a rock, which cannot be shaken by your mind, your family or the public, is called Tamas. The conversion of this firm decision into practice leads to Rajas, because practice or work is Rajas. You must meditate on the God associated with creation, who is constituted of the three qualities, (Ishwara or Saguna Brahman) through your spiritual effort that is also constituted of the three qualities.
