He creates and sustains from moment to moment every atom of the seen physical and unseen spiritual universe. Everything is within Him. He is within everything. Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>God \u015aiva created us. He created the Earth and all things upon it, an\u00ad\u00adimate and inanimate. He created time and grav\u00adity, the vast spaces and the uncounted stars. He created night and day, joy and sorrow, love and hate, birth and death. He created the gross and the subtle, this world and the other worlds. There are three worlds of ex\u00adistence: the physical, subtle and causal, termed Bh\u016b\u00adloka, Antarloka and \u015aivaloka. The Creator of all, \u015aiva Him\u00adself is uncreated. As supreme Mah\u0101deva, \u015aiva wills into man\u00ad\u00adifes\u00adtation all souls and all form, issuing them from Himself like light from a fire or waves from an ocean. \u0156ishis de\u00adscribe this perpetual process as the un\u00adfoldment of thir\u00adty-six tattvas, stages of manifestation, from the \u015aiva tattva\u2014Par\u0101\u00ad\u015bakti and n\u0101da\u2014to the five elements. Creation is not the mak\u00ading of a separate thing, but an emanation of Himself. Lord \u015aiva creates, constantly sustains the form of His creations and absorbs them back into Himself. The Vedas elucidate, \u201cAs a spider spins and withdraws its web, as herbs grow on the earth, as hair grows on the head and body of a person, so also from the Imperishable arises this universe.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where Did This Universe Come from? \u015aLOKA 41Supreme God \u015aiva created the world and all things in it.
