The whole universe is pure intelligence, not dead matter. It is not an accident

न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् ।
भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः
॥ ९-५ ॥

na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me
yogam aiśvaram bhūtabhṛnna ca
bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ

And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Look at My mystic powers! Although, I am the Creator and Sustainer of all living entities, I do not depend the Cosmic manifestation; for My Self is the very source of all creation.

POWERFUL COGNITION

We need to understand that the whole universe is intelligence. This intelligence responds to our thoughts

Portrait of Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam

यथाकाशस्थितो नित्यं वायुः सर्वत्रगो महान् ।
तथा सर्वाणि भूतानि मत्स्थानीत्युपधारय
॥ ९-६॥

yathākāśasthito nityaṁ vāyuḥ
sarvatrago mahān tathā sarvāṇi
bhūtāni matsthānīty
upadhāraya

As the mighty wind, blowing
everywhere, always rests in eternal
space, all beings rest in Me.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Just as the air rests in the space, our being, the whole universe including our being, we all rest in the Divine. Krsna says, ‘All beings rest in Me.’

सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम् ।
कल्पक्षये पुनस्तानि कल्पादौ विसृजाम्यहम्
॥ ९-७ ॥

sarvabhūtāni kaunteya prakṛtiṁ yānti
māmikāṁ kalpakṣaye punas tāni
kalpādau visṛjāmyaham

Krishna/Paramashivam depiction

O Kaunteya (son of Kuntī), at the end of every age all beings merge into Me, at the beginning of every new age I create them again.

POWERFUL COGNITION

When Krsna says, 'All material manifestation enters Me,' He means, it enters the universal consciousness. Everything we see and feel using our senses is part of the universal consciousness.

9.8

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः ।
भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात्
॥ ९-८ ॥

prakṛtiṁ svāmavaṣṭabhya
visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ
bhūtagrāmam imaṁ kṛtsnam
avaśaṁ prakṛtervaśāt

The whole Cosmic order is under Me
and My material nature creates the
beings again and again, and it is
controlled by My material nature.

POWERFUL COGNITION

Once we understand everything is a mirror image of our own self, we become enlightened
