The truth is, Divinity is all-pervading. After profound enquiry, the rishisdiscovered that God is the source of everything in creation. The rishiscompared jagat (the cosmos) to a seed. Every seed is covered by husk. It is only when the grain and the husk are together that the seed can germinate. Likewise, in the cosmos, the inner grain is God, the outer husk is Prakriti (Nature).

The cosmos demonstrates the unity of God and Nature. Nature is dependent on God and God is the basis for Nature. Likewise, when we seek refuge in God, He provides the protecting cover for us. Dasatvam(Dependence of the Devotee) and Daivatvam(protection by God) together constitute Divinity at work. This is also described as Shiva-Shakti-Atmaka-Swarupam--the union of Shivaand Shakti. The Cosmos, thus, is not apart from God. It is one with God. The scientists are saying the same thing in their own language when they say matter is energy and energy is matter. The relationship between matter and energy indicated the Prakriti-Paramatma(Nature-God) relationship. Energy is, in fact, one of the names of God. Prakriti is another name. It is not possible for any one to describe the greatness or the qualities of God. The scriptures have declared ‘Avang-manasa Gocharah’(He is beyond the reach of mind and speech). ‘From where speech returns, together with the mind, unable to grasp it,’ says the Upanishad. Devote yourselves to the contemplation of the glories of God on this sacred night and sanctify your lives by turning your thoughts away from mundane concerns.(SSS Vol.19, pp. 41-42)
