There is an absolute truth, an immutable reality, an undivided unity, an impersonal being, a pure existence of which all that we see in the realm of name and form is but a manifestation or a shadow. The Absolute, whose nature is Being-Consciousness-Bliss, is the true Self and essence of all. This is the ultimate resort of truth, ever free of falsehood and ignorance. From this Absolute existence we arise, in it we abide, and to it we must eventually return. All the worlds are but waves on its boundless sea.

The Absolute is not without activity. From it arise all the innumerable universes, of which our present globe is but a minute and inconsequential speck. In its creative activity the impersonal Being becomes the Personal Creator, of which all creation is its progeny. All human beings contain an intuition of and innate love for our Divine progenitor, who watches over us as a wise parent, guide and friend.

The Cosmic Creator is not merely masculine but feminine in attributes being both the Divine Father and Divine Mother. The Creator has many names, forms and manifestations among his various creatures and can assume not only human but also angelic, animal and even plant forms. To limit his worship to any one name or form is to deny his omnipresence that exists untainted in everything. Sanatana Dharma accepts all forms of the Divine and all manner of their worship, both imagistic and abstract. It directs us to God as our primary relationship, in order to bring harmony to all our other creaturely interactions.
