Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :
Chapter-10.( Vibuti-yogam )
Chapter ten reveals Lord Krishna's exalted position as the cause of all causes. Also specifying His special manifestations and opulences. Arjuna prays to the Lord to describe more of the opulences and the Lord describes those which are most prominent. Thus this chapter is entitled: The Infinite Glories of the Ultimate Truth.
Slokam-6.
Nor the number of theists, nor the great wise know My origin; I am certainly the source of the godly and the great sages in all respect.
My origin is not even known to the greatest wise or gods of enlightenment; in every respect I am the source of the great sages and the God-conscious ones. ( Slokam-2 )
Maharshaya     sapta    purve    catvaro    manavasttha,
Madbhava    manasa    jatah    yesham    loka   imah    prahah.
Sapta    maharshayah      =       Sevan Rishies; (and)

 Purve   catvarah                 =       Before them,  four Sanakaties;

 Tattha    manavah             =       Likewise, manus;

 Madbhavah                         =       With all my supreme nature;

 Manasah    jatah               =        Born from my mind.

 Loke   imah   prajah         =        The whole population ( creatures ) of this world;

 Yesham                               =         Belong to them. ( born from them ).
From the mind of the seven great sages [Arti, Bhrigu, Kutsa, Vashista, Goutama, Kashyapa, Angiras] and before that, the four Sanakaties [the progenitors (Sanakan, Sanandhanan, Sanatanan, Sanatkumaran )], likewise Manus,  who also stem from Me, all of the population born in this world has originated.
Every human being taking birth in the world, originated from the ancient, seven great sages and the four primal fathers who also stem from my mind.
The idea mentioned in slokam-2, is fully explained in this slokam by Sri Krishna.  Seven Rishies, four kumaras, and fourteen manus are born from Lord's mind.
"Yesham loke ima prajah" :- Praja means all living and non-living things took birth from Lord's mind, this statement clarifies the cause and support of the world.
"Maharsha sapta":- If we look according to 'Vyashti', "components of the world such as 1. buddhi ( intelligence ), 2. ahamkaram ( ego ), panchendriyas ( five sense-organs, and their 'Murthi-bhavam' ( divine nature ), pronounced by the Sapta ( seven ) Rishies, present in  each one of us. 
Imaginations by itself cannot produce agitations, when one desire shoot up, we just own it ( attached to it ), and we allow it grow,thereafter the strong desire is the outcome, spoiling our peace of mind, this is supported by the 'Vishayas' of panchendriyas, this flood of sankalpas are the cause for all our joys-sorrows, successes-failures, profits-losses of our small world's cause for the 'srushti'(creation ).
"Purve catvarah  manavah":- The four 'Kumaras'are the Lord's "manasa putras" ( sons of mind ).
In the beginning of srushti ( creation ) "BRAHMA"from his mind, viz,"Sanandan, Sanandanan, Sanadanan, and Sanatkumar" these four are created, which is supported by our Puranas."Brahma"is nothing else, it is the life energy in us, when the creative urge becomes strong, it takes shape inside us,and begins to active very strongly. Its activity is in four ways ( Mind, Bhuddhi, Chittam, and Ahamkaram. Likewise, in this way the inner activity Samshti takes place. This is called as the 'manas-putras ( Sanakaties- four kumaras ) of 'Brahma'.
By this one slokam, the creation activity in the fields of 'samashti'and 'vyashti' is beautifully narrated. The creation in samashti ( lokam ) by 1.importance, 2. ahamkaram, 3. the tanmatra ( sound smell etc ) of panchendriyas and by inner activity in vyashti ( individual ) is expressed. 
Thus, the saptarshies and the four forefathers, these two terms indicate the cause for the creation of 'Samashti'and 'Vyashti'.
This is the tattvam of Srushti( creation).

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-5. Part-5.( Last Part)

5: God is Our Eternal Friend-5. ( Last Part ) We are filled with doubts in our minds—we can prepare a dictionary of all our doubts—they are endless. Everywhere we have a suspicious attitude about the world, about things, about people, about ourselves, about the past, about the present, and about the future. These doubts cannot be dispelled until knowledge arises, and we know what knowledge means, an insight into which we have been given in the second chapter of the Gita. Knowledge is the knowledge of God ultimately, and as a result, knowledge of the nature of the world in its reality, as mentioned in the third chapter. This is true knowledge, and when we are awakened to this real knowledge, all doubts get dispelled. Then what happens? Atmavantam—we become truly possessed of the Self that we really are. We are people who have lost ourselves and are in pursuit of things outside. Yes, this is what has happened; we have grasped the world and lost our own selves, and we are

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad gita : Ch-10. Part-3.

Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable : Part-3. We are told in the Puranas that Narayana or Vishnu takes incarnations for the preservation of creation. Vishnu is regarded as yajna itself. It is the highest sacrifice—God sacrificing himself every moment of time for the sustenance of His creation. As adhiyajna He is the administrative power and the methodology of the working of the cosmos. All activity is comprehended under this yajna of the cosmos. Therefore God is present in all activity when it is considered as a passage to God, when it is regarded as a manifestation of God as rays emanating from the sun. Those wise souls who envisage God as adhibhuta, adhidaiva and adhiyajna, which means to say, who encounter God as a comprehensive Absolute and not merely existing only here or there, such devotees are true knowers. They can entertain or maintain this consciousness even at the time of passing from this world—they are not deprived of th

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....
