Sarva-bhutani kaunteya prakritim yanti mamikam, kalpa-kshaye punas tani kalpadau visrijamy aham

At the end of a cosmic cycle, O son of Kunti, all beings merge into My nature, and at the beginning of the next cycle I send them forth again. This describes the universal rhythm of creation and dissolution driven by the Lord's divine nature and will.

  • Cosmic creation and dissolution follow God's divine cycles
  • All beings return to the Lord at the end of each kalpa
  • The Lord is both the origin and destination of all existence
