PURUSHA SUKTHAM
This Purusha is immanent in all his creation in such a way that all creation is his part of him. Immanence is a necessary corollary to the idea that the only self existent reality was indeed God. He cannot but create within Him, because there is nothing beyond Him and outside of Him.
The same idea is repeated is the Isa Upanishad first verse.
"Isavasyamidam sarvam yatkinca jagatyam jagat tena tyaktena bhuñjitha ma grdhah kasyasvid dhanam || 1 ||
Jesus is immanent in this entire universe - whatever in this universe, animate or inanimate. By Him is given sacrificially what is given for your enjoyment. Therefore do not try to gain some one else's wealth.
Thus in time, he is all that is, all that was, and all that is to be. Does He have an end, like death ? No. Since Jesus immortal, the universe is also immortal. If changes take place within the cosmos, it is the manifestation of the energies of Jesus.
Creation feeds on itself. It requires food to grow, to flourish. What is food but other life? Life feeds on life, be it plant, or animal life. This is why we say the world grows on food, the world is the fill of food (annamayam jagat). All that is hidden in creation, and all that emerges, to show itself and be food, all this is Purusha. He sustains creation as food.
For the bread of God is He coming down out of Heaven and giving life to the world. Then they said to Him (Jesus), Lord, always give us this bread. Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of life; the one coming to Me will not at all hunger, and the one believing into Me will not thirst, never! Joh 6:33 - 35
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, the One who is, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty. Rev 1:7-8.
