The Self-Conscious Being comprehending itself becomes Truth-Consciousness and is still in the region of eternity and infinity. That is where the One becomes the Many, the process of which is left unexplained so far. From here onwards, division is needed for further involution where a reversal takes place as the original being is to disappear into non-being. So far, the process proceeds in the unitarian consciousness which we call Satchidananda. Its further desire to comprehend itself makes it into Supermind. Its desire to sense itself makes it Ananda, Bliss. But, that being the process of involution-the process of creation-the Being chooses to be conscious of itself and becomes consciousness. It has no imperative need of being conscious or sensing its existence or comprehending itself. The Being thus created as Existence exists by virtue of its having come into existence. The process of involution is the process of cosmic creation. If this part can be called involution, the other half can be called evolution. For this Being to hide itself in the Inconscient, it has to travel through the stages of consciousness: Truth-consciousness, Mind, Life and Matter which is Inconscient. The very first role is that of a Self-Conscious Being. The Unknowable, being the original Eternal and Infinite whose character of being infinite is never lost, turns into not only the Play but remains the Player and the Playground.īy its capacity of self-limitation, the Reality creates all the actors of that Play. Thus the Reality has created a cosmos of a Self-Conscious Being at one end and the Inconscient at the opposite end, providing Itself a field of Play, Lila, which is intrinsically Himself. – in which the Reality forgets its original intention. This end is achieved by self-absorption – absorbing the light into darkness, knowledge into Ignorance, Being into Non-Being, etc. Delight being the result of self-discovery, the Reality has chosen the greatest possible delight of finding itself, having lost itself. The infinite omnipresent Reality which is the Unknowable to man, exercising its prerogative of infinite self-conception chooses to enjoy one more form of delight. The Life Divine starts with man’s awakening and proceeds through the process of creation and ends with the inner spirit gaining total mastery over the outer matter. The inner realisation is awakening and the outer expression of it is a divine life in an animal body. Man, who is that omnipresent Reality in essence as well as in his external phenomenal expression, seeks to realise it inwardly and outwardly. It indwells in the objects of the universe and exceeds it. The Omnipresent Reality became the universe.
