The Universe's Genesis: Brahma's Revelation

Brahma recounts the inception of the universe, revealing that it originated from the mind. Upon awakening from cosmic night, Brahma's intention to create led to visions of diverse universes within his mind. These visions included creators, beings, scriptures, and moral codes, portraying the complexities of existence. Despite observing this vast creation within his mind, Brahma pondered its nature and sought answers from the sun.

Insight from the Sun

The sun acknowledges Brahma's omnipotence and explains that the ceaseless creative activity stems from the mind, deluding beings into perceiving reality or unreality. Despite Brahma's inherent knowledge, the sun responds to his inquiry, emphasizing the illusory nature of creation.

Aspiring for Creatorship

The sons conclude that attainment of creatorship is the highest goal, as it transcends mortal lordships. They resolve to meditate on being Brahma, envisioning themselves as the creator of the universe. Through steadfast meditation, they ultimately realize their aspiration.
