The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : 16.11.




Chapter 16: The Essence of Creation is God's Glory -11.

First of all, as I have mentioned, creation does not consist merely of human beings. This is an idea that we have to give up, gradually. Secondly, it does not consist even of things, objects, substances or even the five elements—it consists of relations.

The whole universe is nothing but a set-up of relations, and not of things or objects. There is an disconnectedness of values, so that we may say that the world is a value, finally, and not even a scientific relation.

It is not a world of human beings; it is not a world of things, objects and physical elements; not even a world of conceivable physical scientific relationships, but of values. Truth, goodness and beauty are regarded as values these days, but these are all, again, conditional values.

They become more and more rarefied and ethereal as we go further and further, so that we cannot say what this world is made of finally. It is not made up of anything that we can imagine in our minds.
