 The scriptures assert that Brahma is drowsy, errs and is temporarily incompetent as he puts together the universe.He then becomes aware of his confusion and drowsiness, meditates as an ascetic, then realizes "Hari" in his heart, sees the beginning and end of the universe, and then his creative powers are revived.Brahma, states Bhagavata Purana, thereafter combines "Prakriti" (nature, matter) and "Purusha" (spirit, soul) to create a dazzling variety of living creatures, and tempest of causal nexus.
