yog vashist
Sarasvati and Lila rose into space and saw the whole creation; and beyond that was pure consciousness. Because of the essential nature of this infinite consciousness,universes, jiva and forms keep arising and again arising. and by their own thought-force, return to a state of tranquillity; all this is like the spontaneous play of a child.
Of thase countless universes, in some there are only plants: some have Brahma, Visnu, Rudra and others as the presiding deities, and some have none at all; in some there are only animals and birds; in some there is only an ocean: some are solid tocks, some are inhabited only by worms: some are pervaded by dense darkness:
in some angels dwell; some are forever illumined. Some seem to be heading towards dissolution: some secm to be falling in space towards destruction. Since consciousness exists everywhere for ever, creation of these universes and their dissolution also goes on everywhere for ever. All these are held together by a mysterious omni-Present power.
everything exists in the one infinite consciousness: everything arises from it; it alone is everything.
