The Creation of the Universe - Verse 94
Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 5 · Verse 94
Sanskrit Original
एतदेवं च नैवं च न चोभे नानुभे तथा। कर्म स्वविषयं प्राहुः सत्त्वस्थाः समदर्शिनः।।
etadevaṃ ca naivaṃ ca na cobhe nānubhe tathā| karma svaviṣayaṃ prāhuḥ sattvasthāḥ samadarśinaḥ||
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.
