Yoga-Sleep, Cosmic Dissolution, and the Lotus of Creation
with Mārkaṇḍeya’s Vision
यच्चानुभवसे लोके तत्सर्वं मामनुस्मर । विश्वं सृष्टं मया पूर्वं सृजेद्यापि च पश्य माम्
yaccānubhavase loke tatsarvaṃ māmanusmara | viśvaṃ sṛṣṭaṃ mayā pūrvaṃ sṛjedyāpi ca paśya mām
Bất cứ điều gì con trải nghiệm trong thế gian, hãy nhớ tất cả đều gắn liền với Ta. Thuở ban đầu Ta đã tạo dựng vũ trụ, và nay Ta vẫn đang tạo dựng; hãy chiêm kiến Ta như thực tại ẩn sau muôn sự.
Unspecified (deity speaking in first person; likely a supreme divine speaker within the Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa dialogue context)
Concept: Whatever is experienced should be recollected as connected to the Supreme; creation is continuous and grounded in the Lord as inner reality.
Application: Practice moment-to-moment remembrance: link sensations, events, and emotions to the Divine presence; use ordinary experiences as prompts for japa or gratitude.
