101. THE FIELD BELOW
BRAHMANDA AND ORBITAL MOTIONS OF BRAHMANDA AND PIND
156.
Below the spheres of Vishnu, Brahma, and Siva there is vast field somewhat similar to Mahasunna. Although it is very much smaller than the latter, there
is some minor creation in this field, and it serves as a boundary between the
second and the third grand divisions of creation. At the lowest part of this
boundary, the topmost sphere of the third division is situated with an upward
opening into the regions of Brahmanda.
This opening is known as the third til
(the third or the subtle eye), and by means of it one can catch glimpses of the
lower portion of Brahmanda. This
opening is also the portal through which the spirit-entity passes from the
third into the second grand division. The sphere, referred to above, bears a
resemblance to the top sphere of Brahmanda
viz, Sunna. This is the moon-sphere
of the third division of creation, and all spirituality is supplied to the
lower spheres from this source. This sphere is above the sun, and is moving
along with the latter around the lowest part of Brahmanda. Brahmanda,
too, as a whole, is also subject to a similar orbital motion round the purely
spiritual region. This latter region or any portion of it, is not, however,
subject to the motion of the kind referred to. As we shall explain later on,
the two grand divisions of creation which are subject to orbital motion are
alone subject to periodical dissolution also. In the purely spiritual region,
there is no change or dissolution, and that region is accordingly eternal. The
description we have given refers to that individual system of Brahmanda and of the third division of
creation in which our solar system is located. In the Brahmanda as a whole, however, there are innumerable systems of the
same type. The innumerable Universal Minds or Brahmas, with their consorts, the Adyas, as well as the innumerable spirit-centres of Brahmanda, were cast out like drops from
a sea out of the spiritual current and the currents of Kala and Maya that
descened down from the purely spiritual region into the vast expanse known as Mahasunna. Similarly, the innumerable
solar systems we find in the plane of the third grand division of creation have
been projected down by each of the individual systems of Brahmanda.
It seems that in the terminologies of Sant Mat meaning of Brahm is different from that of other tradition of Hindu Philosophy.
