The manifold has come from the One alone, the Relative from the Absolute. There is a state of consciousness where the many disappears, and the One, as well; for the many must exist as long as the One exists. Brahman is without comparison. It is impossible to explain Brahman by analogy. It is between light and darkness. It is Light, but not the light that we perceive, not material light.
Again, when God changes the state of my mind, when He brings my mind down to the plane of the Relative, I perceive that it is He who has become all these - the Creator, maya, the living beings, and the universe.
Again, sometimes He shows me that He has created the universe and all living beings. He is the Master, and the universe His garden.
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 307 (16 October 1883)
