Brahma Sutras 2.1.34

वैषम्यनैर्घृण्ये न सापेक्षत्वात्तथाहि दर्शयति।

Meaning: Partiality or cruelty cannot be attributed to God, as the creation has other reasons. This is also declared by Vedas.

Brahma Sutras 2.1.35

न कर्माविभागादिति चेत्नानादित्वात् ।

Meaning: If it be said that there is no distinction in the fruits of karma at the beginning of creation, we say no because the creation has no beginning.

Vedavyasar clearly states in Brahma Sutra that creation has no beginning and our karma is the cause of birth. Adiyen quoted above references to show that creation has no beginning.

The source of our jada creation is Moola Prakriti or Avyakta. As Baghavan is indweller of this Moola Prakriti also, Baghavan is the root cause. Similarly Baghavan is indweller of Jivas also.

Brahmam, Jiva, Moola Prakriti and Karma are all originless or Anadhi. However, Baghavan is self-sustained and completely independent, whereas rest depends on Him for their functioning. Hence, Baghavan is the cause of all.

As creation has no beginning, the Pralaya mentioned in scriptures is the period between one destruction and another creation. Origin of Creation mentioned in Upanishads is new creation after Pralaya.

Rig Veda 10.190.3

सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ धाता यथापूर्वमकल्पयत्।

दिवं च पृथ्वीं चान्तरिक्षमथो स्वः ।।

Meaning: The creator, in this cycle creates the sun and the moon, the celestial region, the earth, the midspace and the region of bliss as in the previous creation.

(The region of bliss does not mean Vaikuntam, as it is indestructible due to absence of time-space constraints).

Adiyen recently wrote an article on karma and originless creation in Adiyen’s website. Hence Adiyen was able to respond with references.

Kindly forgive Adiyen if Adiyen’s understanding is wrong.
