Mundaka-Upanishad


Chapter-1,


Section-1,


Mantram-7. ( "Imperishable  Brahmam" ----  cause  of  the  Universe )



Summation : "on Declaration and  three pictures" ....


Thus,  on  the  whole,  the  three  pictures  distinctly  sets  of  ideas  which  we  must  comprehend  fully  in  order  to  grasp  the  entire  process  of  Creation.


They  are  :



(1). Out  of  Him  ( Lord )  the  world  has  come  without  the  intervention  of  any  other  cause  other  than  Himself  and  in  the  end  the  the  projected  world  is  absorbed  back  again  into  the  Divine.



(11) . The  Supreme  has  neither  the  effort  nor  the  purpose  with  which  the  spider  creates  the  web.

Creation  is  an  effortless,  purposeless,  projection  ---  'A  Divine  Lila. '



(111) . The  Supreme  is  not  a  dead  inert  matter  like  the  earth,  but  is  a  Conscious  Living,  Vital  Personality  ----  a  positive  Entity  ---  An  All-pervading  Essence  ( Tattvam ) Absolute,

Existence-Knowledge-Bliss, i. e,

( SAT-CIT-ANANDAM)
