WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF CREATION?
Dr. Syed, Professor of Philosophy, Allahabad University, asked Bhagavan, “What is the purpose of creation?”
Usually Bhagavan gave replies in Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam. This time He spoke directly in English, and asked, “Can the eye see itself?” Dr. Syed replied, “Of course not. It can see everything else, but not itself.” To Bhagavan’s question that “if it wants to see itself”, he said, “It can see itself only in a mirror.” Bhagavan then commented, “That is it. Creation is the mirror for the ‘I’ to see itself.”
