Self-Reflection Prompts
- How does the concept of cyclic creation (*Srishti* and *Pralaya*) contrast with linear views of history? How does it help us accept change and impermanence?
- If you are eternally protected inside God's energy even during the cosmic dissolution, why should you fear any worldly crisis?

9.7
सर्वभूतानि कौन्तेय प्रकृतिं यान्ति मामिकाम्
At the end of a Kalpa (period of cosmic manifestation), all creatures enter the three modes of material energy (Maya). They remain latent, like seeds in the ground during winter. At the beginning of the next creation, I project them out based on their unexhausted karma.
