GM: This you need to investigate.
This question is by Consciousness itself.
Universal consciousness is always here but it knows its presence only through a physical form.
But for form, it cannot know itself
The form is essential for its knowing.
Spontaneously you become Conscious of your presence by early morning 5 or so and you remain conscious till night up to sleep.
Spontaneously this form is created by elemental interaction.
The indwelling principle is conscious knowing ‘I am’.
This principle sustains the seed of the entire manifestation in the nascent stage within.
Through the form, the seed manifests itself as world, cosmos, universe etc., Which you perceive in space.
Now the entire play happenings in space is by the seed which is the result of elemental interaction.
When elements interact, conscious presence ‘ I am ‘ is known through form, simultaneously the world is also perceived as manifestation.
Now the conscious presence ‘I am’ depends on the interaction of Elements.
Elements do not know when they interact, conscious presence ‘I am’ do not know when it appears as it is dependent on elements.
Entire manifestation depends upon this conscious presence ‘I am’ as it sustains the seed within.
Now, understand clearly, all happen spontaneously.
Spontaneously elements interact, conscious presence ‘I am’ is felt through created form and the whole manifestation is observed.
All are simultaneous happenings !!
The entire play is out of ignorance only.
Spontaneously, this ignorant play goes on……
As long as you are not aware of this conscious play, you are continuously deceived by your own perception.
Once your Conscious is conscious of itself then it starts knowing its source and says, ‘ I am beyond consciousness, I have nothing to do with Consciousness and its play’ and you remain cool whether consciousness happens or not as now you know about this spontaneous happening of all is nothing but a play and unreal.
So consciousness knowing its source is most important.
Till then such questions happen out of ignorance of the self.
