In these beautiful surroundings many of you are wondering why God has created these beautiful things. Because you people had to come on this Earth and enjoy the beauty, that is one of the reasons. And now God feels very much fulfilled with the joy and satisfaction and a kind of a completion of His desire. Why God has created this beautiful universe has been a question asked for thousands of years. The reason is very simple to understand. This beauty that is created cannot see itself. In the same way, God, who is the source of beauty, beauty cannot see His own beauty, like a pearl cannot enter into itself to see its beauty, like the sky cannot understand its own beauty. The stars cannot see their own beauty. The Sun cannot behold its own brilliance. In the same way, God Almighty cannot behold His own being. He needs a mirror. And that is how He has created this beautiful universe as His mirror. (21.12.1986)
