- According to the Sankhyan philosophy, matter and energy are independent and they come together to cause creation. In Vedanta, which upholds non-dualism, there is only One. So, how does God sustain this universe and nourish everything?
- Lord Krishna explains, "I give heat (manifesting as the Sun and fire) and I withhold and pour down rain (to nourish the earth and its fertility). I am immortality (sought by spiritual seekers) and also death (of all living beings). I am both existence and nonexistence."
- The Vedas prescribe rituals according to the desire of the performer. Rituals are usually referred to as 'sacrifice' because the performer must relinquish what is offered in the ritual to gain what is desired.
- Those who seek to reach the highest abode through the sacrifices are mentioned by Lord Krishna, "Those who know the Vedas, drinkers of Soma, and purified of sin, pray for the heavenly goal by worshipping Me through sacrifices."
- Heaven is the place of all pleasures, yet it is not eternal. Having reached the world of gods by the credit of righteousness, they enjoy divine pleasures there..
