1588- Creation

All the souls put together is the Brahman (Paramatma). In the same way, all the subtle bodies put together, is known as hiraṇyagarbha or the cosmic womb/egg.Hiraṇyagarbha is endowed with intellect and this intellect, also known as mahat, is the cause for the physical body. Hiraṇyagarbha can be considered as the feminine energy, if soul is considered as the masculine energy. Unless, the soul impregnates hiraṇyagarbha, creation is not possible.
