सन्ध्ये सृष्टिराह हि॥३.२.१॥

COMMENTARY

The word «Sandhya» means dream, as we find from the above passage, «and as a third an intermediate state, the state of sleep». It is called «Sandhya» or the intermediate state, because it is midway between waking and the deep sleep state; between the «Jagrata» and the «Sushupti». The creation of chariots, etc., is verily by the Lord and not by the human self. Why do we say so? Because the same text says «Sahi karta», «He indeed is the maker». The sense is this, the Supreme Self creates chariots, etc., in the dream state, which exist so long as the dream lasts, and which are perceived not by all the Jivas, but by the person seeing the dream alone, and which are created as fruition of the minor works of the Jiva. In order to reward the soul for very minor Karmas, the Lord creates the dreams. The Lord possesses mysterious powers, creates by the mere force of His will and so it is possible for Him to create these dream-objects, while the human soul has no such power. In another text also the dream-creation is said to be the work of the Lord:

The wise, when he knows that that by which he perceives all objects in sleep or in waking is the great Omnipresent Self, grieves no more. (Katha Up., IV., 4.)

The Jiva has also the power of creating by mere will-force, and is also «Satya-sankalpa», but only in the state of Mukti. The Mukta Jiva creates the world there, but that is not a dream-world. The Mukta Jivas, like Masters, have divine creative power, but it has nothing to do with the dream-creation.
