Srimad Bhagavatam
The true nature of both God and Man is consciousness
alone. But though God is forever blissful and liberated Man becomes bonded by
Maya because of his desires.
Maya is the servant of God and master
of man.
The existence of universe is caused
by Maya which is ignorance.
Universe is the work of divine power.
The cosmic energy consists of three
Gunas. These are goodness. passion and
ignorance. When these gunas are disturbed the main ingredient for the creation
for the universe takes form.
This universe has several natives.
The herbs, plants, trees, shrubs etc
are the lowest of them all and they are conscious only by touch.
Then there are the animals whose
sense of smell is highly developed.
Then comes man with his six senses.
After him there are the Pitras or deified
humans.
Then come Kinnaras spirits.
After them are Gandharvas, and
Vidyadharas and Siddhas who are angels.
Then there are Devas or demi gods.
And then there is God.
