The Principles Of Creation Tattva Gyan

I want everyone to be happy!

- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

I want everyone to be happy! This Creation has so many varieties to keep you charmed and happy. But, you don’t look at the Creation at all! If you look at the Creation, you will see the Creator. Creation and Creator are not separate; don’t think that God has created the world and gone to sit somewhere else. If God is omnipresent, where is the place for Creation outside Him? Creation cannot be outside God.

The whole Universe is made up of atoms. Subtler than the atom is the Mind and subtler than the Mind is the principle of Mahatattva. Firstly, you should understand Creation, then you will understand the Creator. First, you know what is water, then you know that water is made up of H2O, then you will know what is ‘H’, what is O2 and how H2O becomes water. So, the atom is the basic substratum of Creation which is also what God is!

So, the ancient people had said that the 5 elements i.e. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether - should be first understood properly. These 5 elements can be experienced through the 5 senses:

1. FIRE ELEMENT is associated with LIGHT and is a subject of the EYES SIGHT

2. ETHER ELEMENT with SOUND - EARS and HEARING

3. AIR ELEMENT with TOUCH

4. EARTH ELEMENT with SMELL and NOSTRILS

5. WATER ELEMENT with TASTE
