Fruit or seed first?

By Tejinder Narang

“What came first, fruit or seed?” is a primordial puzzle. There are many such unanswered questions: Who created God? Mystics/scriptures say the Creator is self-created. The cause and effect are self-created. Every moment of life travels with death. So, fruit and seed are knotted and coexist.

The next question is, “why this Creation” and “why” we first come and then go? Many presume this is His play. Another perspective is that we have already come and gone, and are a part of projection of a cinema that unfolds in time in the space of a movie hall. Scriptures define “how” the Cosmic conundrum is contrived.

“Nirakaar” (formless) with his vibrational creative power of Ekankaror Onkaror Omkarequivalent to “Word” of Christianity or “Kun” of Islam or “Shabd” of Sikhism or “Tao” of Chinese projects all causal/astral/physical planes.

Then who came first? Whether Maya, Trinity (Triloka), the powers of transient births (Brahma), sustenance (Vishnu) and judgement/phenomenal change (Siva), followed by subtle/physical planes of consciousness, and, thereafter, male/female and vegetation, etc? The answer: Nirakaar“instantly” manifested Creation. “Fruit and seed” have concurrent origins. Only a feeble entity requires interval/time for growth and development. All Pervasive Powerful Will is time untimed and space unspaced.

His Will to “be” is the action and is the attainment, simultaneously. Limited consciousness of humans sees short spells of this Grand Mystery in time frames of come and go.

That is why holistic Reality remains vague to individuals.
