This cosmos is vibrational. This physical world, known as Prapaiṋca (quinquelemental world), resides only within the scope of mental and supra-mental substance. Innumerable are the vibrations, but not infinite. Had they been infinite, creation too, would have been infinite. True, they are many, but not infinite. There are three chief colours – white, red and black. White indicates the sentient principle, red the mutative, and black the static principle. The singular Puruśa creates colours. With these colours, He attracts. If there were no attraction, created beings would not enjoy existence.

Ya eko varńo bahudhá shakti yogád varńánanekán nihitártha dadháti
Vicaeti cánte vishvamádao sa devah sa no buddhyá shubhayá saḿyunaktu

When the cause of many is one, that is noumenal. This expressed world is phenomenal.

Why has this colorful world been created? It is because worldly people otherwise might not enjoy to remain in it, The child cries; then the mother supplies it with toys, so that it might keep on playing with them. For making toys, colours have been created. But what’s the purpose, the actual intention? Its cause, its inner motive, is known only to Him. If it is disclosed, the secret will leak out. Then what’s the idea? If what was secret is once known, people will try to be free; they will not try to remain with the colours of creation.

These vibrational expressions are in that Puruśa. From that Puruśa alone these vibrations emerge. If we trace this vibration back and forth, we find only Puruśa, in the beginning as well as in the end.

“Let not our intellect drift from kalyáńa” (spiritual good) should be our only prayer.
