‘Vishva manta vyapiyai veleyuvadu’. I am the person found all over the Cosmos. ‘Vishvam means Cosmos’….. ‘Inti inti Kadu, inchi inchi,’ not in every house, but, in every inch of the universe. ‘Bhuvalayamantha sancharinchunu.’ ‘I am found all over the cosmos, there is no place, not even an inch space where I am not.’ (Sathya Sai Baba- God in Action- p 15)

The Cosmos or Creation is limitless, eternal and it has neither beginning nor end. So too, the Voice of God; namely the Vedas have no limit, they are eternal; they have no beginning nor end. ‘Vid’, the root from which the word Veda is derived, means ‘to know’. When knowledge began, the Vedas too manifested. The Rishis visualised and announced them. They are the ‘seers of mantras’ - the Mantra-drshtas. (BPV, p. 71)

By the divine will of Prajapati, two pairs were created; the gross and the subtle, the inert and consciousness. By the union of the two, the entire Cosmos, consisting of inanimate and animate objects, was created.

A living creature proclaims its existence by the Life-Principle in it. There is life in matter and matter in life. This truth has been recognized by the Vedic sages and modern scientists in the concept of the convertibility of matter and energy.

Many consider... that there is no connection between the physical world and the realm of spirit. This is grievous mistake. One is the base and the other is sustained by it. One is life (Prana) and the other is the living being (Prani). The Cosmos is the synthesis in consciousness of these two, Spirit and matter. (ML, p. 576)

Om Klim Krishnaya govindaya Gopi Jana Vallabhaya Svaha!’ Klim means the earth. Krishnaya means water. Govindaya means fire. Gopi jana vallabhaya refers to air. Svaha refers to ether. Krishna’s name encompasses the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and ether. This signifies that the Cosmos is permeated by the Divine. ‘The Cosmos is under the sway of the Divine. God is subject to the sway of Truth. Truth is subject to the Uttama (noble one). The Noble one is the embodiment of the Divine’ (SSS Vol.26, p. 285)

athava bahunaitena kim jnatena tavarjuna

vistabhyaham idam krtsnam ekamsena sthito jagat

(Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, verse 42)

This Cosmos is sustained by one fragment of the Divine (ekamsena sthito jagat), proclaim the scriptures. The universe is permeated by the Divine. The Sun’s rays cannot emanate, if there is no Sun; the Universe cannot exist without God. We say there is a ‘pot,’ there is a ‘picture’, there is a ‘tank’ and so on. The basic word in these statements, ‘IS,’ proclaims the existence of God. (SSS Vol.16, p. 99)

The Cosmos is a magnificent wonder, a source of continuous amazement It cannot but impress one as a supreme marvel, whoever he may be. When an object has to be made, we know, we need one who has the skill and the intelligence, the shakti, the power. Without a maker nothing can be made. Therefore, how do these objects that are visible to us - the sun, the moon; the stars, the constellations, their brilliance and movements, move and behave as they do without a Designer, a Maker, a Master? Can these yield to any ordinary power? No, Intelligent people can easily infer, observing the objects designed and made having such mighty capabilities, how immeasurable must be the Power of the Maker Himself. Creation or the Cosmos is the manifestation of the Will latent in Brahman. All this is God’s sankalpa, Will or plan. (Sutra Vahini, pp. 26-27)

Cosmos is God’s creation; chaos is man’s creation. (NNSG Vol.5, p. 223)
