अध्याय ७
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
ते सूक्ष्म प्रकृति कोडें I जैं स्थूळाचिया आंगा घडे I तैं भूतसृष्टीची पडे I टांकसाळ II 22 II
चतुर्विध ठसा I उमटों लागे आपैसा I मोला तरी सरिसा I परि थरचि आनान II 23 II
होती चौऱ्यांशी लक्ष थरा I येरा मिती नेणिजे भांडारा I भरे आदिशून्याचा गाभारा I नाणेयांसी II 24 II
ऐसे एकतुकें पांचभौतिक I पडती बहुवस टांक I मग तिये समृद्धीचे लेख I प्रकृतीचि धरी II 25 II
जें आंखूनि नाणें विस्तारी I पाठीं तयाची आटणी करी I माजीं कर्माकर्माचिया व्यवहारीं I प्रवर्तु दावी II 26 II
हें रूपक परी असो I सांगों उघड जैसें फरियेसों I तरी नामरूपाचा अतिसो I प्रकृतीच कीजे II 27 II
आणि प्रकृति तंव माझ्या ठायीं I बिंबे येथ आन नाहीं I म्हणोनि आदि मध्य अवसान पाहीं I जगासि मी II 28 II
"Creation is believed to arise from the union of Subtle Prakuiti and the gross five elements, the Pachamahabhootas' earth, water, fire, air and ether.
Subtle Prakruti:
Prakruti is often described as the unmanifest, primordial substance, the source from which all things emerge. It's not a physical entity in the conventional sense but a fundamental force often referred to as the "mother nature" or the creative power.
Mint is a place where coins are produced, and the act of minting signifies bringing something new into existence. So is the metaphor for Creation.
From the Creation-Mint all living things come into being. There are four classes of beings by the manner in which they are born, their distinct imprints emerging spontaneously.
"Jarayuj" are being born from the womb. This includes mammals like humans, cows, and elephants etc.
"Andaj" are being born from eggs. This includes birds, snakes, and other creatures born from eggs.
"Svedaj" are beings born from sweat. This includes insects, worms, and other creatures born from sweat or moisture.
"Udbhijja" are beings born from seeds. They include plants and trees born from seeds.
They are equally important or valuable, regardless of any perceived differences.
There are 8.4 million species as a representation of the vast and diverse forms of life that exist. All in all countless with their subtypes taken into account. These infinite beings of different classes together comprise of the inner sanctum of Maya. These coins of the
Creation-Mint are distinct, yet equal in importance and only Maya knows their worth.
Just like old, worn, or damaged coins are melted down and the metal is reused to make new coins, so is the cycle of birth, death and rebirth fuelled by Maya and Karma.
Lord Krishna said to Arjun, this was all about the Mint as a metaphor for the dynamics of the Creation. Let Me get to the point straightaway for you to understand it easily. Prakruti itself is the conscious force responsible for the Creation and the unfolding of the universe in name and form. Lord Krishna said, Prakruti "being One with Me", I am the origin, I am the middle and I am the end of the universe. ( Origin, Sustainance and dissolution)."
