Know that all created beings have their origin in these two natures of Mine. I am the source of the entire universe and into Me it merges at the end. God is the ultimate origin and dissolution of all existence — both the material and spiritual forces that constitute the cosmos flow from Him.

  • God is the source and end of all existence
  • Both matter and consciousness originate from the Divine
  • Creation and dissolution are expressions of God's nature

  • Brahman is omnipresent and all-encompassing
  • The Divine is accessible in every direction and being
