Creation and evolution

Creativity is inherent in nature itself. There is a universal law. The creator of that law is prakriti, nature. Creation is a beginningless continuity, so you cannot say that a particular day is the first day of creation. There are millions of stars, suns and planets. They are all subject to a constant process of creation and destruction.

According to the law, disintegration and reintegration are always taking place. Sages have been answering questions such as, what is the cause of creation? Where did we come from? How do we exist? Where shall we go to? Vedanta says, ‘You are Atman. You have come from pure Self and therefore you are pure.’ As a human being, your first duty is to live in spiritual consciousness.

Some believe that man made amistake and so he remains in ignorance. Others believe that ahuman being is privileged because he is aware of God and can attain illumination in this life itself. Animals and other beings may be intelligent, but they are still in the tamasic state. Awareness of the Self, Atman and God is special.

Our present physical form has five gyanendriyas, sense organs, and five karmendriyas, motor organs, and the brain.


But there is still something more that man has to develop. That is called intuition, the supermind. Yogis, saints and prophets have experienced this. But for everyone to sense this, for everyone to have a supermind, will not happen overnight. I don’t think that one fine day everybody will wake up and find that they have become supermen.
