Be great once again

The one who has known the supreme Brahmn has known Him as the refuge of this universe, of each and everything, animate and inanimate, movable and immovable. The universe has been created within Him and reflects His radiance. It is the transformation of His Self. He is the substance as well as the cause of this universe.

It is the co-operative creation of the 16-fold distortions - 10 sensory and motor organs, the mind and the 5 tanmatras or inferences - and the 8 binding factors of prakrti that are the cause and effect of His qualitative manifestations. The seeds and potentials of this universe are also inherent in them. It is for this vastness that He has been called Brahmn, which means great - Brahatvad Brahmn.

Then again, the One who makes another great, the One with whose thought and bearing the small unit establishes itself in the vastness, is also called Brahmn - Brahmanatvad Brahmn. When this world is within Him, He must be greater than the world.


That in which this universe is implanted is greater than the universe. The entire universe is pivoting around its knower, its nucleus, in a cyclic order in the vast body of Purush. Revolving thus in this cycle, the one who progresses towards the knowing entity by one spiritual force attains unity with Him and becomes one with Him. They become Brahmn themselves, which is why He has the quality of making one great.
