What was in the Beginning ?
Creation of the Universe
The creation of Sat
Purush (God)
When Sat Purush lived in latent form, He had not created the body
and matter.As oil is hidden in the lotus, in the same way Sat Purush used to
live, hidden.In His Will, He created the souls, and looking at them He felt very
happy. From the first Shabda(Word) created by Him, the worlds and ocean were
created, in which He dwelt.He made the throne of four worlds and sat on the
lotus.Where Sat Purush sat, desire was created there.In the will of Sat Purush
eighty-eight thousand islands were created.In all the worlds His desire exists.
His desire is very fragrant.
Manifestation of sixteen sons
From the second Shabda(Word) of Sat Purush
the Kurma was created, With the desire of remaining attached to His Feet.
When Sat Purush uttered the third Shabda, a son named Gyan(Knowledge) was born.
When he came before Sat Purush and bowed down
to Him, He ordered him to go into creation. When the fourth Shabda was made,
the son named Vivek( Discretion
) was created. He was
ordered to live in creation by Sat Purush. With the fifth Shabda a brilliant
light came into existence: When Sat Purush uttered the fifth Shabda, Kal
Niranjan was incarnated.
He
is created from the most
glorious part of the body of Sat Purush that is why he troubles the
soul. Souls are of the essence of Sat Purush and no one knows their
beginning and
end. When with His mouth, Sat Purush uttered the sixth Shabda, Sahaj(Spontaneous) was born. With the seventh Shabda, Santosh(Satisfaction) was created, who was given permission to go into creation. When
Sat Purush uttered the eighth Shabda, Surat was settled in the beautiful world.
With the ninth Shabda was created lnfinite
Happiness and the tenth Shabda created Forgiveness.The eleventh
Shabda created a son named Nishkam and the twelfth Shabda created a son
named Jal-Rangi; The thirteenth Shabda created Achint, and with the fourteenth was created Love.
With the fifteenth Shabda Din Dayal was born and the sixteenth Shabda created
Patience. With the seventeenth Shabda, Yoga and the Saints were created
They all were born from the same origin.
Shabda(Word) created all the sons, Shabda created all the worlds and oceans. In every
world the parts of His essence-the jivas (Soul) were settled and their food was
nectar. The beauty of the jivas is endless and always happiness exists there;
The glory of the jivas is endless and always happiness exists there; The glory
of the jivas is inaccessible and indescribable-who can describe Their endless
beauty? All the sons meditate on Sat Purush and eating nectar, enjoy happiness
THE SONS OF SAT PURUSH
Each
son represents an aspect of Sat Purush which had to manifest separately
in order for Creation to take place, even on the highest spiritual
level. "Creation," esoterically speaking, means just this: God
separating Himself into so many parts, which become the Creation. Since
the Ultimate Reality is the oneness of God. not His many-ness, there is a
very real sense in which Creation on any level, even the highest, is
unreal and illusory
Note
that Kal or Time is also one of the sons, "Time" being a part of the
whole that only causes difficulties when separated from the rest. Thus
the fall of Kal and the whole lower creation are implicit in this first
creative act of Sat Purush. Because these aspects of Sat Purush are also
presented as individuals, we are, for the most part, leaving their
Sanskrit names untranslated, as these names connote individuality where
the English words do not.
GYAN
Knowledge in the highest sense. This is the son of Sat Purush Who later
incarnates as Sat Sukrit, Maninder, Karunamai and Kabir.
