Haribhadra and Psychosynthesis
glance back to our integral Darsana. We have already seen that the universe is a portion of energy in Caitanya. Caitanya is stable and so static energy released became kinetic in the formation of the univers., and the original citisakti becomes by reversal or involution kinetic and inconscient energy. With such an involution starts the original Karma, activity or movement. Energy is the generator of all movements, all actions and all Karma. Modern astronomy is now dimly finding out that in the formation of the globes gases are playing a great part. Through the sky the subtlest of bh atas or material element in the form of ether, the vãyu or the gases take shape and form into shining globes. This is Agni or the Teja element, There are hydrogen atoms in all such gases and that is Jala or watery element and lastly they form into solid state and that is the element of earth. Tho atoms of earth are solid and they seem to be alert. But their 'inertia is merely apparant because the constant movements of electrons and neutrons are going on within the atoms. So there is no stabillity in matter. All the five elements are always in movement and this is the basis of all Karma in the universe : (i) From this point of view of action, it can be said that universe is action with a purpose. The purpose is evolution. As soon as Citisakti or prime energy becomes kinetic after leaving its permanent abode in Caitanya it tries as if to take rest in material formu. lations like stones and metals and formation of each element. But there too she cannot rest and goes on doing her work inside the atoms. The purpose of this inner activity in atoms is evolution and no sooner the involution is over the process of evolution starts and the cycle takes an upward turn. This is the universal background of Karma. There is nothing in the universe save the inconscient energy and its constant inner and outer movement and Karma along with evernew formulations of forms. In short the universe is energy, with its various activities and infinite variety of forms. Where there is energy there is Karma and where there is Karma or activity there are forms. Such is the nature of the Universe and it manifests infinite varieties of movements or forms and ever new Karma so that it appears to be new every moment. As there can be possible to have some glimpses of the involutionary process from the gaseous solidification in the universe, the process of evolution can be seen and understood on this earth because life is seen evolving here in a variety of forms.
With this backgrsund of universal Karma or movement and its ceaselessness and its varieties at all stages of involution and evolution it can well be gathered that in involution the activity is more outward and it reaches its depths in matter. The outside movement almost ceases and only the inside movement remains. The process reveals as evolution begins
