Cosmic activity begins when guṇas become disturbed; peace is described as guṇic equilibrium. Practically, it echoes yogic discipline: reducing agitation and restoring balance leads toward inner dissolution of fluctuations.
A technical description supporting Sarga/Pratisarga: it explains the guṇic state that characterizes Pralaya and sets the stage for renewed emanation when imbalance arises.
