Chapter 9
Brahma's day is called a 'Kalpa', which extends for a thousand fourfold Yugas (ages). His night, is also of the same duration. Brahma, lives for a hundred years. When Brahmas, life period is over, he merges into the Lord, which. is called the end of a Kalpa, and when he emanates from the Lord, that is the beginning of a new Kalpa.
Here, it is mentioned that all beings go into His prakrti, at the end of a Kalpa, but He generates them again at the beginning, of the next Kalpa. It means, that prakrti being active, when it gets tired, merges into God itself, and beings having affinity with prakrti also merge in it at the time of final dissolution. But at the time of a new creation, the Lord bengs forth those beings, who had affinity with prakrti again, by giving them the fruit of their mature actions, in order to, purify them. As a person, builds a house, but it slowly gets destroyed by itself whole, the Lord brings forth beings, but they die themselves. In the same way, a man (soul) being a portion of the Lord, has natural inclination for the Lord, but he has a fall himself, by having desires and attachment for the perishable body, and world. So, a striver by attaching importance to discrimination, by renouncing desires and attachment, should be inclined, towards the Lord.
