Lesson - 7 Part-1 Mohan and Usha

In this lesson, the student is introduced to the

concept of past tense. The lesson is presented

through a story. The thoughts mentioned herein

are those of "Sanathana Dharma" as found in the

ancient texts from India and relate to the creation

of the universe.

It is late in the evening, around 8.00PM. Usha

and her younger brother Mohan have finished

dinner and are watching TV. They get bored with

what they see.

Lesson-7 Part 2. Avyaktam

In the beginning, only "Sat", the Supreme Being

was there.

Supreme Being (here)?

¢ptamh: - st i¢t kEvl| cWtÓy| ev Aas£t .

tdan£| ¢dkq , kal: vÞt¤ va ¢km¢p n Aas£t .

Sat, only pure conciousness, was present.

At that time, there was no space, time

or matter.

yda s¦¾E: smy: ABvt tda tÅcWtÓyÞy iÅCa

ABvt . idan£| s¦¢¾| smarBE i¢t .

At that time, there was not even the perception

of time. When it was time for creation, the

desire arose in the Supreme Being.

I shall start creation.

Then the Supreme (being) transformed itself

into the "Avyakta" form.

That which can be perceived by the senses is

called Vyaktam.

AÛy³Þy tt Þvãp| i¢Ód#yW: n d#¾¤| SÀym .

tÞmat AÛy³| i¢t nam .

That form of the Supreme Being cannot be

perceived by any of the senses. So it is called

Avyaktam.

Grandfather, I don’t understand anything !

¢ptamh: - ¢t¿ ¢t¿ , AvDanEn S¦N¤ .

You will understand well (it will be clear)

¢ptamh: - tt: pr| tÞy st: AÛy³|

Þvãp| BEdåOanay yaEÂy| mht ABvt .

Then, the form prone to differentiation

began to manifest. Then the Avyakta

form of the Lord changed to the form

of Mahat.

uxa - mht i¢t ¢k| ?

What is Mahat ?

¢ptamh: - mht i¢t n ¢km¢p vÞt¤ .

prÓt¤ sm¾YaÏmn:

b#'aÎfÞy s¦¾E: p¥vIÞvãp| mht i¢t Áyatm .

Mahat is not any matter (which you see).

Mahat is the state of the Supreme

being before the creation of the Universe,

(referred to as the whole - yet to take

different forms).

tt: pr| tt mht AhÄðar: ABvt .

Then the Mahat form became the Supreme Ego.

AhÄðar: æOEDa ÛyBjt .

The Ahankara divided into three.

They are Satvik Rajasik and Tamasik

Ahankaras.

But it shows the near absence of Conciousness.

elements.

In this manner the visible universe was formed.
