How the Creator keeps Himself occupied during His day and night each of which is of long duration is explained. It is indicated that the Creator creates during His day and the entire creation ends during His night by merging itself in the unmanifested. Creation is the crystallization of the unmanifested dormant existence into the manifested existence with names, forms and qualities. That is, creation is only the production of a name, form with some specific qualities, out of the raw material in which the same name , form and quality are already existing in an unmanifested condition. When a pot is created out of the mud the potness is already prevalent in the mud because no other thing than a pot can be created out of mud.
The thought impressions in the mind (vasanas) which lie unmanifested to the sense- organs and the mental and intellectual perceptions become manifested as gross actions, thoughts and words making the life either tough or smooth depending on the quality of the thoughts manifested. A doctor, advocate and a criminal are all same as human beings
while thy are asleep which is their unmanifested state (Pralaya) but when they wake up their respective qualities as a doctor, advocate or criminal get manifested which in philosophy is called creation.
In the cosmic process of creation and dissolution the Creator or the total mind during the waking hours of long ages project out the already existing vasanas and at the night they merge into the unmanifested. The declaration that the very same beings are born again and again and merge in spite of themselves shows that Hinduism does not believe in a creation preceded by the condition of absolute non-existence.
The same multitude meant that which comprised of the moving and non-moving who existed in the preceding cycle or age and who did not attain liberation. They repeatedly come forth and dissolve by the effect of their own karma. ‘In spite of themselves’ implies the law of karma is inexorable. In this world of Maya there is no freedom as long as one is caught in the wheel of karma. The only way of liberation is to free oneself from Maya.
