The elements (space, wind, fire, water and earth) that constitute the Cosmos operate only as prompted by the Supreme Wisdom (Prajnana). The gods (Devathas) or the Shining Ones are luminous only through that Wisdom that energises them. The entire world of living beings (Praana Koti) is sustained by that same Prajna. The fixed and the moving (the Sthaavara and the Jangama) are both firmly based on Prajna. The Supreme Wisdom is Atma; the Supreme Wisdom is Brahman. The Supreme Wisdom is the Loka, the Visible, the objective world. The Cosmos is Prajna, through and through; the Prajna is the Chaithanya that fills the Cosmos (Prapancha).

The Vedas assert that Brahman is the Cause of the Cosmos (Jagath) by using the word "Sath" to denote it. Sath is the "Ever-Conscious Is". The Vedas do not speak of anything that is "not-conscious" or A-chethana. All is Chethana, all Is, all is Brahman.Next
