There was neither non-existence nor existence then; there was neither the realm of space nor the sky which is beyond. What stirred? Where? In whose protection? Was there water, bottomlessly deep? There was neither death nor immortality then. There was no distinguishing sign of night nor of day. That one breathed, windless, by its own impulse. Other than that there was nothing beyond.

• Mandala 10, hymn 129, verses 1-2.

This verse explains the time of creation. People try to find the meaning of “zero” or what it means to have nothing. This verse is trying to do the same. It is trying to ponder where we came from. What prompted the creation. The Vedas try to do the same.

The story of creation or the work of the God is something nice and beautiful. We need to appreciate God everyday life and appreciate his love for all.
