Vishwadarshan is an insight into the workings of life and the universe, its inception, creation, and cessation, "received as a revelation by Mahatma Thapaliyal as a consequence of his seventeen-year-long penance in the Himalayas.
From the tiny ant living on Earth to intuitive revelations about the solar and Junar systems, this work touches various universal aspects: The seer brings a fresh perspective to how the ever-constant Supreme Consciousness and Prakriti together conceive the universe, in the form of Brahma and Saraswati, how sustenance of the universe is taken care of by Maha Vishnu and Maha Laxmi, and its ultimate destruction by Shiva and Mahakali.
I salute that knowledgeable, truthful, intelligent, blissful super soul which, through its truthful inspiration, manifests for the well-being of the world, illuminating knowledge in the intellect of His devotees. The bodies of living beings are formed in this infinite universe by the power of its pure merit and, consequently, living beings cannot be happy without the knowledge of truth.
I was not competent to have written Vishwadarshan without assistance, but the super soul is omnipotent and the soul itself is the super soul. This book is merely the experience of the soul. Not one word has been written that has not actually been experienced. Working through pure knowledge is beneficial. Great souls, while redeeming themselves, are also able to redeem the world. The soul is omnipotent. There is nothing beyond the competency of the soul. The creation of a dream, the visualisation in the dream, can all this be the work of an incompetent? If we judge Him incompetent, who then may be considered capable of creating dreams? The difference is only this, that the foundation upon which the omnipotent and all-knowing one creates dreams with its infinite ability, is unreal. That is why the created dream, as it forms, does not remain the same upon waking. If the base had been real instead of unreal then the dream too would have been real.
The point being made here is that the creator of dreams is omnipotent and manifest in creating many dream-creations, but the basis of such dreams is unreal. That is why upon waking, the dream is no more manifest. Will you then call a dream real or unreal? For you are able to remember the dream, but its created image is not there.
If you contend that the dream is unreal, how come its memory is so real? How come you remember it? If, on the other hand, you hold that the dream is real then why don't you see its image clearly upon waking? Truth is manifest.
I shall now tell you whether dreams are real or unreal. The creator of dreams is real, and consequently his creation also is real, which you are able to recall upon waking. But the screen used as a surface for the creation of that dream by the creator of dreams is unreal, which dissolves on waking from sleep. That is why the creation thereon also gets destroyed and upon waking, the creation disappears.
This is the situation with reference to dreams, but what happens in life and death? Please consider carefully. "What are we, and since when are we?" This alone will be conclusive. What were we before this body that we are manifesting in now and earlier than that also? We must certainly have been something before manifesting in this body, and earlier too. If we continue to search for the frontiers of our existence in this manner, we will one day comprehend our reality.
