(7) How this show of creation is managed by HIM?

karan kaaran parabh ayk hai doosar naahee ko-ay.
naanak tis balihaarnai jal thal mahee-al so-ay.

That almighty God is the reality only. Creation and destruction is all illusory and HE is substratum of this appearance. Nothing is born nothing dies. It is all HIS play. Coming and going, seen and unseen, all are according to HIS orders only.

HE pervades in water, land and sky (jal-thal-nabh – all three) and is only doer. HE is omnipotent. What pleases HIM, happens. HE is creator and HE is destroyer. HE does not have any limitations. Creation and destruction is as per HIS orders and these creations are without any substratum. They behave in different manner and are having different colors and forms according to HIS orders only. And HE enjoys HIS creation. HE has no form, shape, colour and is beyond three attributes. But one can perceive it only when HE pleases. Again HE acquires forms too. Wonderful it is, but fact is HE himself meditates on himself( through creation).
It is HIS show and HE himself has created. Otherwise could you conclude, when world was not there, where was sin and noble deeds, hatred-ness, happiness and sorrows, emotional attachment and doubts. It is HIS own created drama only. When HE himself was alone, who was free or bonded, where were heavens and hells, where were shiva and shakti, where was fearless and afraid, where was life and death, where was filth and what was to be washed away, who had pride and of what, where was hunger and quest, where were relations, where were owners and servants. More you think, more surprised you become Because HE and HE only was there and he created everything.
When HE was in himself, who was trapped by Maya, who acquired worries, who spoke and who listened, when you ponder it, you are surprised. Is it not so? HE only created world out of three gunas (dispositions). Then concept of heaven and hell came into existence and creation was created by Maya Shakti with pride (haume) emotional attachment (moha) delusion (bhram), pleasures and pains (dukha sukha), honour and insult (maan and apmaan). It is entirely HIS play for HIS own pleasure.
The fact is, it is HE only who expands himself. He himself is doer and HE himself experiences. HE makes others play such roles in HIS drama as HE feels like. Everything is as per HIS wish and well under HIS control and entire drama goes to get him pleasure.
Only HE the master of entire creation is visible and nothing else you can see. HE only speaks and then HE is one who listens. As HE likes, HE creates and again destroys. And this mystery HE makes only those persons understand whom HE likes. Everybody is in HIS control. If HE wants to save any person, no body can damage that person and if HE desires to finish any person, nobody can save that person. HE is most gracious and merciful and takes care of all. The person, who is engaged in HIS worshipping, is blessed and he gets bliss of entire knowledge. His bondages are broken and his both worlds become wonderful.
If only it pleases HIM, one attains salvation (mukti), stones can swim, one continues living without breath, one worships and one is saved of his sins. HE is owner of both the worlds and relishes HIS creation.
Nothing is in hands of human-beings. Ignorance makes one busy in wrong doings and he runs here and there to achieve targets of ego. He does not realize that it is God only who can provide, what he deserves. In an instant HE makes worm a king (and vice-versa). He protects humble-ones. To whom HE pleases, entire knowledge is revealed to him. You will find HIM in different moods and different behavioral patterns at different place and at different times. HE himself is truth. HIS deeds are truth. Everything is born from HIM, as HE is root of all. He is ekankar (one and only) and HE expands himself whenever HE desires. He is all livings-ones, sees through individual eyes. Entire creation is HIS body. Coming and going back is a game, which is continuing to please HIM.

In nutshell, whatever is, it is HE only and nothing else. Whatever is happening, is being monitored by HIM only. HE is with and without form. Creation and entire drama is illusory and its appearance is manifested, as HE wants to relish it in that manner. HE is omniscient and omnipotent. This intuitional knowledge can be acquired only through HIS grace. For which one as to recite HIS naam with faith, dependence, trust and love but at the same time, diminishing haume (pride- ego). When one surrenders himself to God and abides HIS orders, he gets blessings, after which he will not require and desire anything else. That knowledge (sojhi) granted by God almighty pacifies quest for answers. Otherwise it is beyond comprehension of human mind to understand cosmic play by its own efforts.
