I am asked to explain the name of the universe. How can purity be attained from the impure? How can the universe be created from nothingness? How can the lotus bloom in the sky if it is not created? If the creator destroys the universe, how can it be recreated? How can a lamp light another lamp if it has no wick? How can desire exist in something that has no dharma, artha, or kama? If the creator is inactive, how can it create the universe and all living beings? How can it expand its body at the time of destruction if it is inactive? How can action exist in something that is inactive? How can someone who is free from sin experience joy and sorrow? How can someone who is free from sin be bound by sin? How can someone who is ignorant be free from anger? How can there be fruit without the root of desire? How can there be actions like doing and undoing without the root of desire? If the creator is perfect and free from sin, why is it impure after cutting the head of a Brahmin? How can there be shade without an umbrella? How can Shiva be affected by the disease of being a creator? If you say that Shiva is not the creator but only a part of Shiva is the creator, then how can a part of gold be a snake? (The potter makes a large pot from a small piece of clay, this is understandable. Shiva creates the universe from himself, this is called Shiva's art.) Burning a city, killing enemies, drinking blood, and dancing, are these the ways of saints? If the creator creates, why does it curse the virtuous? If the universe is protected by Shiva, why did it create demons? If it created the universe with love, why did it not create a unique experience for everyone? The one who drips the poison of falsehood, the one who is like the sky-lotus of Shiva, the one who is like the pot without a potter, the one who is like the clay that becomes a pot, the one who is like the nectar that has not been seen by the gods, how can we describe such a being? I say that the creator and the creation are one, and if not, then they are different. If God is the cause of the universe, who is the cause of God? If God is eternal, then it cannot grow. An ignorant being without growth cannot know its own path.
