After an incalculable time this evolution ceases and involution begins, everything being resolved back through finer and finer forms into the original Akasha and Prana, when a new cycle follows. Now there is something beyond Akasha and Prana. Both can be resolved into a third thing called Mahat -- the Cosmic Mind. This Cosmic Mind does not create Akasha and Prana, but changes itself into them.

We will now take up the beliefs about mind, soul,and God. According to the universally accepted Sankhya psychology, in perception -- in the case of vision, for instance -- there are, first of all,the instruments of vision, the eyes. Behind the instruments -- the eyes -- is the organ of vision or Indriya -- the optic nerve and its centers -- which is not the external instrument, but without which the eyes will not see. More still is needed for perception. The mind or Manas must come and attach itself to the organ. And besides this,the sensation must be carried to the intellect or Buddhi -- the determinative, reactive state of the mind. When the reaction comes from Buddhi,along with it flashes the external world and egoism.Here then is the will; but everything is not complete. Just as every picture, being composed of successive impulses of light, must be united on something stationary

The word which is "creation" in the English language is in Sanskrit exactly "projection," because there is no sect in India which believes in creation as it is regarded in the West a something coming out of nothing. What we mean by creation is projection of that which already existed to form a whole, so all the ideas in the mind must be gathered and projected on something that is stationary -- relatively to the body and mind -- that is, on what is called the Soul or Purusha or Atman.
