Namaste 🙏 Something really far out happened last night and today. I was very concerned—I don't know why—for some reason, I really wanted to know, why does Brahman create the world? Why does non-duality create apparent duality? And why does he create the world with all kinds of suffering and ignorance and, you know, all the problems?

And I was really caught up in it; I was really stressing out over it. I haven't read anywhere in the scriptures. Even though I've gone through all the major Puranas and the major Upanishads and I'm almost halfway through Vedanta Sutra, but I haven't run into any information on why Brahman creates the world.

So then I got up this morning and started to study Vedānta-sūtra. And what do you know, just a few pages after I took up my reading again, my study really, I came across this discussion: What is Brahman's motive in creating the world?
