There are creative forces from which all things are made. The three creative forces (three gunas) cannot be separated from the consciousness. They are one and inseparable. They are two sides of one entity. Creative forces without consciousness cannot be directed and used, and consciousness without creative forces has no creativity but merely “IS,” without knowledge, ability (doing) or remembrance.
In the beginning the operative powers of these three creative forces were not released but were in a balanced state. So the universe was in a state of “Be”ness (symmetric). Through the desire of God, their operative powers were released. Because of the operative power of the satva guna (sentient force) and presence of the active tama guna (crudifying force), the
feeling of “I know” was awakened and spread in the universe. The first part of the ego was evolved... Because of the operative power of the raja guna (mutative force) and presence of the active tama guna, the feeling of “I do” was created and spread in the universe. The second part of the ego came into existence...
Through the influence of the operative power of the tama guna (crudifying force), the first state of ethereal factor (fine ether) evolved and the memory as “I have done” was felt. So the ego became complete. This process continued until the unit consciousnesses (individual egos) were evolved. A manifestation of the Divine (Spark of Light) through gross form (body), is individualized ego (Illusion), separated from God. With this, each unit consciousness is felt separately as “I” which “knows,” “does,” and “has done.” So because of the influence of the tama guna as “I,” the universal consciousness was divided into infinite unit consciousnesses as separate “I”s.
As the tama guna becomes more dominant, the feeling of separation becomes greater and this results in being ego centric, which is the cause of all sufferings, miseries, confusions, and chaos. Before the release of the operative powers of the three gunas, there was no vibration in the universe. By the release of their operative powers and because of the influence of the raja guna, vibration was created. The manifested universe indeed is vibration in different stages. Vibration is sound. This sound vibration or the creative power in the universe in the operative state is “The Word”. It is the part and parcel of God, which was with God, and the Word was God, and All things are m????de...
Raja guna is the energy (life-force) in
the universe. When this energy (prana)
is directed to higher things or God, it becomes the Light of the consciousness. It resides in all things in the universe, “In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Because of the influence of the tama guna (darkness), although it is present even in darkness and human consciousness, it cannot be comprehended. The ego prevents this Light and life to be seen by man, and the light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.
Consciousness, when unmanifested, is in the state of “Be”ness. It is Formless, Nameless, Invisible, and Eternal, neither male nor female. It is Pure Consciousness (Divine Will) as an observer of the universe. It is Pure, passive and neutral.
Pure Consciousness is beyond the three gunas or any other grosser manifestation. That is why it can by no means be explained in any level of the manifested world, including the ethereal. Neither can it be understood in the mental state. Anything which can be explained or is explained is not Pure Consciousness. Pure Consciousness can only be known with direct experience. However, consciousness is interwoven into everything which Is or Is Not. Pure Consciousness is the state of equilibrium of the three gunas (Mind)...
