God is the eternal seed of entire creation -
Yacchaapi sarvabhootaanaam beejam tadahamarjuna |
Na tadasti vinaa yatsyaanmayaa bhootam charaacharam || (Gita 10/39)
O' Arjuna ! I am the seed (the main cause) of all beings. There is no creature, animate or inanimate, that can exist without Me. (Gita 10/39) In other words, animate – inanimate all are God only.
Worldly seed is born of a plant and after it gives birth to another plant it self-destroys, but God is unborn and even after giving birth to infinite universes, God remains as-is. Therefore God calls Himself as "eternal" (sanaatan) and "unchanging" (avyaya) seed -
Bijam maam sarvabhootaanaam viddhi paarth sanaatanam (Gita 7/10)
Prabhavah pralayah sthaanam nidhaanam beejamavyayam | (Gita 9/18)
"I am the origin, end, resting place, storehouse and the imperishable seed of this universe."
Even if a mango grove does not have a single mango growing in it, still it is called a mango grove. The reason being that first there was a mango seed, then from it grew a tree, and in the end there will be mangoes growing on it, therefore in between too it is called a mango grove. With a worldly seed only a certain type of plant grow; just has from wheat, only wheat grows, from millet, only millet grows, from corn, only corn grows etc. All the seeds are different, but the seed in the form of God, is so extra-ordinary that from that one seed, infinitely different forms of creation arise -
Sarvayonishu kaunteya moortayah sambhavanti yaah |
Taasaam brahma mahdhyoniraham bejampradah pitaa || (Gita 14/4)
O' Son of Kunti! Of all the bodies that take birth from different wombs, this primordial Matter (prakriti) is the Mother, while I am the seed giving father.
"Sadeva Somyedmagra aaseedekmevaadviteeyam " (Chandogya 6/2/1)
"In the beginning there was that One indivisible, single Existence alone."
And in the end too only Paramatma (God) remains - "Shishyate sheshsangyah" (Srimad Bhagavata 10:3:25), then how did someone else come in the seed? In the gold jewelry one can see gold and in the wheat fields, one cannot see the wheat, this means that it is not about seeing or not seeing, rather it is telling about the Essence. The meaning of all the different examples is that in Essence it is one only, whether it is seen or not seen. God says -
Amrtam caiva mrtysca sadasaccâhamarjuna (Gita 9:19)
I am immortality as well as, death. I am both Existence (being) and Non-
existence (non-being).
Even immortality is God's nature and even death is God's nature. (to be continued)
