We are all God's awesome creations

A mere spark from a great fire, does not make a mere spark the great fire itself even though both have fire/heat element. Simillarly all creatures are the part & parcel of Supreme God but not the Supreme God (not in any form or way) himself. Brahma of Upanishads is different from Puranic Brahma. Brahma of Upanishads symbolizes the whole of Atman, like Brahman. In scriptures ‘man’ symbolizes an idea that is being processed into an action. The processing is done by automatic mode called god. Thus, god / automatic mode creates thought / man. Since life has infinite thoughts it means that god creates human beings. People who take literal meanings of scriptures wonder whether human beings or born or are created by god.

Thus, According to Ashwa 1.163.1.1, horse is born in the sea or in muddy waters. Therefore, according to Hinduism we can become god in manual mode or man / individual thought / Jivatma. Hinduism doesn’t actually say that we are god, part of god or created by god. But where do we come from? We come from our great Grandfather Brahma (??? ???? ???????) (the first creator). He created everything. This world is his ????????? (mind of Brahma). Whatever Brahma imagines, the same comes to manifest instantly just like it happens with us in our dream. When Brahma ji’s dream is over we will vanish. This called end of kalpa.

?? ??????? ??? ????? ??? (He decided to become many.) - Upanishad Brahma created everything which we can see, hear and feel. He created time, he created sound, he created space, whatever there is in this Universe. Now coming to the difficult question. From where do Brahma arise? Things start to get complicated from here. Upanishads mentions that Brahma creates this world from his memory of the past world (last kalpa). He remembers how things were in the last world, and based on it, it creates the current world with little or no change.

The above knowledge is sufficient to grant oneself ????, ??? and ????. So, if you consider either Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva as the Supreme God, then yes we are merely toys in hands of them. But this is not the complete truth. There’s something unknown, that which language or words cannot describe, which cannot be seen with eyes, which has no form which is controlling even the creator of this world, which is hidden and only that who has ?????? on ????? can grasp it. Things become very complicated from here. Who is that which enforces even the creator to create? Even sages of Vedanta (end of Veda) are silent on it-

? ???? ????????????? ? ?????????? ?? ??? ? ?????? ? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????? ?????????? | ??? ??????? ????????? ?? ?????????????????? ? ? ? The eye does not go there, nor speech, nor mind. We do not know That. We do not know how to instruct one about It. It is distinct from the known and above the unknown. We have heard it so stated by preceptors who taught us that. Upanishads say its ???? ???? (not this, not this). They say no cause-effect is there in that entity but still it is the cause of all causes. They say That entity does everything and still at the same time does nothing. And everything which we see around us is that entity only (????? ???? ?????). Seer, seen and process of seeing is That only.

????? ???? ???????? ??? (Everthing here is That only) ??? ???? ??? (You are Brahman) If you consider That being as God, then yes are just Him because Upanishads says: ? ?? ? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ??? ???????? ???? (He who knows That becomes That) And we exist across the seven planes, dimensions or realms of existence. Only at our very core, beyond these seven, is our “truth”! That truth gives us the opportunity to experience this paradise we call Earth, by contracting, so your material senses can explore the world. Until you’re ready to seek it. Aham Brahmasmi, doesn’t mean this material body is our truth. That truth is the objective of the quest for which we need our material body, once we have experienced the Earth.

Male, female and neuter are the nature of all biological beings and humankind is part and parcel of biological nature. In Hinduism we never ask why did God create human-kind? (as if we are the sole purpose of creation as in the Abrahamic religions!), the question re-framed should be rather “why did God create the universe?” Now the verb “create” is problematic for us as is the noun “God.” According to Hindu logic creation refers to the making of something from raw materials. One cannot create something from nothing! It is a logical impossibility! So for a Supreme Person to have created a real world, there are only two options:– either the raw materials must have been in existence prior to the creative act - which begs the question - who created them? or the world is not at all real in a material sense but is an illusion - like a mirage. How do the Abrahamics reconcile these two problems? Either the world is real or it is an illusion.

Now we Hindus have a different take. We believe in a Supreme Consciousness (Brahman) that is eternal and all-pervading. This Consciousness projects the universe (s???i) into being from Its very own Self. The classical example used is of a spider that builds its web from its own substance (technically known as ūr?anābhi nyāya). In a more scientific sense the Universe is comprised of quantum matter/energy (?akti). The energy is coterminous with consciousness - consciousness from a Hindu point of view is essential to the universe. Why did the Universe emerge at all? According to Hinduism it is all līlā — the play of the Divine. Aham Brahmasmi
