All the things in the expanded mode have to get
back into the internal mode and merge in Brahman. That is ascent
(ArohaNam). The descent of jIvas and the universe from Brahman is
avarohaNam. The terms ‘expansion’ and ‘merging’ seem to be better.
Expansion of Brahman is Evolution and the merging into Brahman is
‘Involution’. All of us have evolved from
Brahman; not by ourselves but by the Will and Action of ambaal. We cannot
involve into Brahman except by Her Will and Grace.
Even though, in her cosmic Play, She seems to have
given us a role for ourselves, we can never
complete the ‘Involution’ without Her Grace. The electrical switch makes
the fan rotate. Only the same switch can stop it from rotating. Thus the same
Cause which made us evolve has to work again to make us involute into
Brahman. So we have to pray to Her. This
is where bhakti, jnAna and yoga come in.
