83. PRE-CREATIONAL CONDITION OF THE SUPREME BEING

            124. It is clear from the explanations given above that before creation, the Supreme Bing Himself alone existed, of course, in a state of spiritual polarization, as already stated. His condition was one of intense rapture within Himself, the entire mass of the infinite supreme spirituality constituting, as it were, a single being. In this Supreme Being, there was no form, there was no colour, there was no demarcation. The intensest form of the bliss of love, the most refulgent lustre, the all-knowing intelligence, the all-powerful energy - all these existing as one - constituted the essence of this August Supreme Being. The condition of the nether pole which was somewhat different, in consequence of a lesser degree of spirituality, from the all-full spirituality, viz, the Supreme Being referred to, was, of course, all known to the Supreme Being; but the lower pole itself did not actively participate in the all-conscious attribute peculiar to the complete spirituality surrounding it. It was in a trance-like condition of existence. There was a gradation in this pole, the portions adjoining the spirit-source being comparatively more spiritual than the portions close to, and at, the pole-centre. The spiritual deficiency, as already stated, had been produced in the region occupied by the pole by a withdrawal of spirituality in the direction of the Supreme Being.
