Gita reflection Ch 14 verses 2 & 3

7th October 2024


The question of why creation exists has puzzled scientists, philosophers, and thinkers for centuries. 

According to Vedanta, creation simply manifests individual and collective desires (vasanas) of souls (jeeva-s) along with the results of their past actions. Dissolution occurs when these desires and actions come to a pause or absence.

Every soul has the potential to attain freedom from rebirth by either overcoming desires through knowledge or by the grace of God. 

Lord Krishna explains that those who achieve unity with Him through Self-Knowledge are not born even during creation and do not suffer during dissolution.

The manifestation begins with the placement of the seed to awaken all souls and their fields of action in the womb of Maya, the manifesting power of Brahman. 

The complete manifestation of all souls, based on their vasanas and past actions, then occurs with the assistance of Brahma, the creator.
