The magician at work

Behind the creation of this universe is a great magician who is creating and controlling this universe. In fact, whatever has been created, and whatever will be created, is due to Him alone. One who realises this truth attains immortality.

Only the one Singular Entity exists. There is no second entity. When he wished to be many, the extroversive, sainchara, and introversive, pratisainchara, flow of creation started under the crudifying influence of Prakrti - the emanent principle of Param Purusha. Now I am one but I shall be many. The variegated expressions of the universe are nothing but the diversified manifestation of that Supreme One.

In the philosophical treatise of Ananda Marga, 'Idea and Ideology', it has been said that the singular Self is the rudimental cause of all diversities; that is, the essence of all physical and metaphysical diversities is the Supreme One - the noumenal cause of this phenomenal world.


One fundamental entity has been creating and controlling the crude, subtle and causal worlds. In due course, all created entities finally dissolve in Him. He is the material cause and He is the efficient cause. Human beings should completely merge themselves in that Supreme Singular Self. Param Purusha is the original fundament of this universe. The entire universe originated from Him, is maintained in Him, and finally will dissolve unto Him.
