Gita reflection Ch 9 verses 9 & 10

8th July 2024

• The fifth secret is that neither the act of creation nor the creation itself binds God in any way. It can be compared to a dreamer creating a dream, which does not bind the person who is awake. 

• According to Vedanta, the universe imagined by Brahman does not affect Brahman. Brahman is only referred to as God when it is related to creation. 

• Even after realizing the transcendent presence of Brahman, the wise one continues to engage with creation, knowing it to be false. It is similar to a person being awake and watching his own dream.

• The sixth secret is that in the presence of Brahman, the creative power, Prakriti, continues to engage in creation. Because of this, the cycle of creation and dissolution continues indefinitely.
