MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 16-3.

Chapter 16-Thought Creates The World-3.

3. Universe, A Creation Of The Cosmic Mind


The universe is not mental creation of Jiva.

One single, organised thought of the Cosmic Mind (Hiranyagarbha) has materialised as the seeming universe.

This phenomenal universe is but an outcome of the Divine Will, seeming to be real through the workings of the mind.


Before you write out a drama, you have a vivid mental picture of the whole drama in your mind.

Then you write it out in succession in four acts.

When it is staged, it is acted in succession, part by part.

Similarly, the universe with its movements is a vivid mental picture in the Cosmic Mind-in the mind of Isvara.

There is neither past nor future for Him.

Everything is 'Present' for Him.

There is neither 'near' nor 'far' for Him.

Every place is 'here'.

Every time is 'now'.

The events come out in succession on the stage of the long world-drama as Time rolls on. Atoms rotate continuously.

Old becomes new and new becomes old.

In reality there is no such thing as old; there is no such thing as single.

The Jivas with individual minds are witnessing the events in succession.

But Isvara knows all events at one sweep. He is Sarvajna (all-knowing).

He is Sarvavit (all-understanding) also. He knows every detail of His creation.

The Cosmic Mind creates the Maya.

Individual minds receive things under delusion.


This universe is nothing but a mode of the mind, self-evolved from Brahman, the cause of the universe.

All the universes which appear only through Manas are no other than its modes.

The mind is subjectively consciousness and objectively it is this universe.

 Hence, this all-pervading world is nothing but consciousness itself.

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6.

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

=============================================================== Monday, 22  Dec 2023. 05:30.  Psychic Influence: =============================================================== Personality: In common parlance when one says that Dr. Tagore has a good personality, he means thatDr. Tagore has a strong, stalwart, tall figure, a beautiful complexion, a fine nose, sharpand lustrous eyes, broad chest, a muscular body, symmetrical limbs, curly hair and so on.That which distinguishes one man from another is personality. In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
