srUshTi-- Creation.

UNMANIFEST BRAHMAN WAS ALONE. HE CREATED THE UNIVERSE BUT REMAINS ALONE STILL.



OM WAS THE FIRST MANIFESTATION- SOUND AND LIGHT , sookshma, subtle, transcendental. Called WORD also.



TANMAATRAAS: Five elements- subtle and gross. Aakaasha( ether), vaayu (air), tejas(light ),jala (water ) and pruthvee (earth ). Both Subtle and Gross we can not sense. Something we are not in the know of.

Each gross is split into two, one half of each further split into four each. Each half mixes with the four one-eighth of other four and real gross FIVE elements emerge. Ether is remains unknown entity. Other four also are not what we call as such. Vaaayu is not composed of oxygen, hydrogen etc. Light is not sunlight and any other man-made light.



The subtles after Pancheekarana, give rise to Antahkarana ( inner-organ -mind) . Influenced by Satva, ether gives knowledge( jnaana) whose seat is brain. Air gives manas(mind), light gives buddhi( intellect) , water gives chitta (memory) and pruthvee(earth) gives ahankara (ego ).

These five , called Samashti ( collective ) can opertateb collectively or individually with any five senses or five organs. With Rajoguna, they change to Vyashti( individual ) as Jnaanendriyas. ( Senses like eye, ear etc )With Tamoguna, as Karmendriyas.( hand, leg etc.)

Intution of our ascestors is yet beyond labs of modern science.

NOTE.
23rd .June: Brsahman is ALONE before and after creation. But He is not aloof. He pervades and permeates his creation -like water outside an iceberg and inside the iceberg too.
