Creation of the world … Grandiose subject! So with what everything began? The yoga says to us that there is the certain initial principle. He bears the name Absolute.
The absolute voleizjyavit to appear in the shown state, voleizjyavit to create our Universe. Till that time though as we can speak about time when the concept "time" didn't exist …
The axiomatics of yoga says that "time" was created much later. In this regard we can't characterize that world which was then, we can't pick up the description and to the Absolute as it was in not shown state more nothing was.
Superlogical concepts, they not always come to our mind easily. We resort to the help of axiomatics somehow to imagine, present as our mind is capable to make it!
But so far we on it won't stop because now we speak about the moment of creation of the Universe. And so, the Absolute wished as in yoga it is told, voleizjyavit, to be shown. And it also was its very first manifestation, it was the first push in creation of our world.
It turns out that that was, Volya was very first! In yogovsky treatises it to be told, "The absolute showed Volya". Such phrase is used: "The absolute told itself "Yes there will be I!" It is also possible to meet the formulation: "Yes there will be I! Yes I will be many!"
Thus the Absolute voleizjyavit to be shown. At first there was nothing, then the Absolute passed into the shown state. Besides it is worth making the amendment here. It is impossible to tell that "there was nothing". There was the Absolute, but there was it in not shown state. To tell about this state, even we can think about it little. All these descriptions only specify the directions of the our thought. Information for reflections, so to speak.
And to understand how our world is arranged, we will be able to understand the universe not earlier than when we pass completely our way of self-knowledge. But, anyway, the first manifestation of our world was Volya! The yoga suggests us to work with Volya Raj, to develop and use this greatest tool which passed between us the Absolute.
