“The stage described in stanza II is nearly identical with that mentioned in the first stanza.)
1. …WHERE WERE THE BUILDERS, THE LUMINOUS SONS OF MANVANTARIC DAWN? …IN THE UNKNOWN DARKNESS, IN THEIR AH-HI (CHOHANIC, DHYANI BUDDHIC) PARINISHPANNA. THE PRODUCERS OF FORM (RUPA) FROM NO-FORM (ARUPA), THE ROOT OF THE WORLD – THE DEVAMATRI (“MOTHER OF THE GODS”, ADITI, OR COSMIC SPACE) AND SVABHAVAT, RESTED IN THE BLISS ON NON-BEING.
The “Builders”, the “Sons of Manvantaric Dawn”, are the real creators of the Universe.
Parinishpanna, remember, is the summum bonum, the Absolute. Besides being the final state it is that condition of subjectivity which has no relation to anything but the one absolute truth (Paramartha-satya) on its plane.
2. …WHERE WAS SILENCE? WHERE WERE THE EARS TO SENSE IT? THERE WAS NEITHER SILENCE, NOR SOUND. NAUGHT EXCEPT CEASELESS, ETERNAL BREATH (MOTION) WHICH KNOWS ITSELF NOT.
The “Breath” of the One Existence is used in its application only to the spiritual aspect of Cosmogony by Archaic esotericism; otherwise, it is replaced by its equivalent in the material plane – Motion.
The One Eternal Element, or element-containing Vehicle, is Space, dimensionless in every sense; co-existent with which are – endless duration, primordial (hence indestructible) matter, and motion – absolute “perpetual motion” which is the “breath” of the “One” Element.
This breath, as seen, can never cease, not even during the Pralayic eternities. But the “Breath of the One Existence” does not, all the same, apply to the One Causeless Cause or the “All Be-ness” (in contradistinction to All-Being, which is Brahma, or the Universe).”
