In this Satsang, Swamiji again explains the model of creation, as presented in Taittiriya Upanishad. From the Atma, space was born; from space, air was born; fire was born from the air; from fire, water was created; from water, the earth was born. The earth gave rise to herbs and food was generated from the herbs. From food, man was created. Atma created all the elements and it is inherent in all the elements in the universe.

In the human being, the principal force which is different from all other creatures is that he has the capability to enquire into his own Self. By enquiry and meditation, a seeker transcends from the gross body to the subtler Prana level, then he progresses to the still subtler mind level and then the intelligence level. Evolving further, he identifies with the Anandamaya Purusha, where everything is filled with bliss. In this state also, the separate body identity is there in him. By complete surrender, being free of desires, one can transcend this level, and reach a state where there is no separate identity. This process of evolution has brought the seeker back to the source of the universe, the Atma.

One who knows Brahman as Asti (it is), he becomes the Sat, he becomes one with Brahman. In the Upanishad, the Guru narrates how Brahman created the universe. The Brahman, desiring to become many, did austerity (Tapasya) and created the entire universe. By creating all the things big and small, he entered them, interpenetrated them. By entering everything, he became the formed, unformed, gross, subtle, conscious, unconscious, Truth, as well as untruth. Brahman itself manifested as everything.
