Any thoughts on this matter?
pranams,
Namaste,
In the context, I have found the meditation/query/vichara 'What has been created?' revealing.
If one inspects the original question: "Why does creation take place if there is perfect Being, perfect stillness, pure consciousness, perfect fullness? ----", one will see that creation is pre-supposed.
An individual ego, which has not been created but which is apparent, is pre-supposing that there is a creation in the form of change of the immutable. Thus a dekko into the immutable can only solve this riddle.
Regarding purpose of creation, scriptures say different things. Svet. Up. says it is secret. Brahma Sutras say that it is Lila.
Mandukya says that the states exist (and not creation) for the enjoyment of Atma alone.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
