7.6 Know that all beings have these two for the source of their birth. Therefore, I am the origin and the dissolution of the whole universe.
These two Natures the inferior and the superior are the womb of all beings. As I am the source of these two Prakritis or Natures also. I am the cause of this universe. The whole universe originates from Me and dissolves in Me. In the Brahma Sutras (chapter 1 section 1 aphorism 2) it is said. Janmadyasya yatah meaning that Brahman is that omniscient and omnipotent cause from which proceed the origin subsistence and dissolution of this world. Just as the mind is the material cause and also the seer (Drashta) for the objects seen in a dream so also Isvara is the material cause of this world (UpadanaKarana) and also the seer (Drashta). He is also the efficient or the instrumental cause (NimittaKarana). (Cf. XIV.3)
