The Creation of the Universe - Verse 92
Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 5 · Verse 92
Sanskrit Original
तेषां ते यान्ति कर्माणि प्राक सृष्टानि स्वयंभुवा। तान्येव प्रतिपद्यन्ते सृज्यमानाः पुनः पुनः।।
teṣāṃ te yānti karmāṇi prāk sṛṣṭāni svayaṃbhuvā| tānyeva pratipadyante sṛjyamānāḥ punaḥ punaḥ||
Śrī Sūta said: They attain those activities created formerly by the self-born lord. Though created again and again, they betake themselves to those alone (Viz. their own previous characteristics) such as violence and nonviolence, softness and cruelty, virtue and evil as well as what is done and what is not done. They know the three (entities) are not separate, though born of them alone as separate (?). This is thus, and not thus; this is neither the pair (thus and non-thus) nor the non-pair (of thus and non-thus). People who cling to Sattva-guṇa and who view with equanimity say that Karman has itself as the object.
