his teachings on the Vedas which can be summarised as follows: There are three entities which are eternal: 1. The Supreme Lord or Paramatma, 2. The individual souls or Jivatmas, which are vast in number but not infinite, 3. Prakriti or the Nature. Prakṛti or Nature, which is the material cause of the Creation, is eternal and is characterised by Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, which tend to be in equilibrium. In every cycle of creation, the Conscious Supreme Lord will disturb its equilibrium and makes it useful for the creation of the Worlds and its forces and to manufacture the bodies required by the individual souls. After a specific long time called the day of the Brahma (Brahma means great, lengthy etc...), the creation would be dissolved and the Nature would be restored back to its equilibrium. After a period called the Night of Brahma, which is equal to the length of the day of the Brahma, the Creation would set forth again.

These souls are subtler than the Nature itself, but take birth through body as per the creative principles set by the Supreme Lord based on their past karma, and they put effort to improve themselves. By realising oneself, the Nature, and the Supreme Lord, individual souls are liberated. But this realisation depends on their efforts and knowledge.

After the extensive long duration of Moksha or Liberation, would come back again into the
