मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् | हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते
mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram . hetunānena kaunteya jagadviparivartate
在我这位监督者的作用下，原质（Prakriti）产生出有动与无动之物（世界）。贡蒂之子啊，正是由于这个原因，世界才得以运转。
Under Me as the supervisor, the Prakrti produces (the world) of the moving and the non-moving things. Owing to this reason, O son of Kunti, the world revolves.
主仅作为见证者而主宰。原质做一切事情。由于他的临近或存在，原质产生出有动与无动之物。这种创造的主要原因就是原质。对于有动与无动之物，以及整个宇宙，根本原因就是原质本身。尽管所有行动都是在太阳光的帮助下完成的，然而太阳却不能成为行动的执行者。同样地，尽管原质在主的圣光帮助下完成所有行动，主却不能成为行动的执行者。由于梵照亮了无明（Avidya），即这个世界的物质因，因此它被视为这个世界的因。磁铁虽然使铁片移动，但它本身却完全无动于衷，因为它只是靠近。同样地，主保持无动于衷，尽管他使原质创造了世界。作为主宰和见证者，他主宰着这个由有动与无动之物——显现的和未显现的——组成的世界，使其周而复始地运转。创造的目的是什么？既然神对任何享受都没有真正的兴趣，他为何要创造这个世界？这是一个超越性的问题或“阿提普拉什那”（Atiprasna）。因此，询问或回答这个问题是不相关的。你不能说神为了自己的享受而创造这个世界，因为他实际上并不享受任何东西。他只是一个纯粹的见证者。（参阅《薄伽梵歌》第十章第8节）
The Lord presides only as a witness. Nature does everything. By reason of His proximity or presence? Nature sends forth the moving and the unmoving. The prime cause of this creation is Nature. For the movable and the immovable? and for the whole universe? the root cause is Nature itself.Although all actions are done with the help of the light of the sun? yet? the sun cannot become the doer of actions. Even so the Lord cannot become the doer of actions even though Nature does all actions with the help of the light of the Lord.As Brahman illumines Avidya (ignorance)? the material cause of this world? It is regarded as the cause of this world. The magnet is ite indifferent although it makes the iron pieces move on account of its proximity. Even so the Lord remains indifferent although He makes Nature create the world.As the Lord and the Witness? He presides over this world which consists of moving and unmoving objects the manifested and the unmanifested wheel round and round.What is the purpose of creation Why has God created this world when He has really no concern with any enjoyment whatsoever This is a transcendental estion or Atiprasna. It is therefore irrelevant to ask or to answer this estion. You cannot say that God created this world for His own enjoyment because He really does not enjoy anything. He is a mere witness only. (Cf.X.8)
