MACRO-COSMIC CONATION AND MICRO-COSMIC URGE.

There is nothing beyond the periphery of the Macrocosm. The natural want of everybody is to know one's surroundings; and each and everything in existence is surrounded by the Macrocosm. So the unit being, with limited knowledge and limited ability tries to know Him, although He is beyond the reach of his endeavours. The Macrocosm is guided by His own philosophy, logic and rationality beyond human intellect. Human existence, the human mind, is a very small fraction of that Supreme Entity. Hence it is not possible for a human being to know Him either intellectually or through any other type of human endeavour. And because He remains unknown, the human mind tries to move towards Him. And this movement towards that Supreme Unknown is the human urge, is the micro-cosmic urge.
There cannot be any repulsion. There is only attraction, whether negative or positive. In the phase of extroversion, crude matter is created because of negative attraction. But there cannot be any repulsion, for nothing can remain outside the Macrocosm. So in the phase of extroversion, there is negative attraction, that is, in the phase of introversion also, the urge is there. Who created this urge? That very Entity, that very supra-psychic Macro-cosmic Entity created that urge. And that urge has aspects: 
  1. Vistara: An urge of expansion in unit beings. The unit wants to expand, and as a result of this longing for expansion, knowingly or unknowingly, it moves towards the Supreme.
  2. Rasa: The unit entity moves in a rhythmic order, in a pulsative order, in a systaltic style, in the universal flow; maintaining symmetry, rather maintaining parallelism, with the Cosmic flow. As a result of this flow, the jiva moves towards the Supreme Hub, Being goaded unto the Supreme Nucleus.
  3. Seva: The longing exists in the unit mind: "I must do something concrete for my Supreme Progenitor". The spiritual longing for the Supreme stance (tadshiti) also exists in the unit mind: "Let my mind, existence, everything, be one with the Supreme".
These are the phases of urge in the Microcosm created through the grace of the Macrocosm. From the side of the Macrocosm, there is Macro-cosmic attraction. From the side of the microcosm, there is the four-fold urge. The Macro-cosmic attraction is an emanation of the Macro-cosmic conation, and the micro-cosmic urge together keep the balance of this universe. They keep the equillibrium and maintain the equipoise of the Cosmos. This is the lila, divine sport of Parama Purusha.
To surrender oneself in this lila is the wisest thing. When the unit mind ideates on the Cosmic Mind and converts its finite objects of enjoyment into cosmic benevolence, then that finite unit being, who was a mere water bubble till then, expands and attains the identity of the ocean. That finite entity which initially thought of self-glorification, ultimately forgets itself and becomes totally absorbed in the thought of the Cosmic Entity. It no longer proclaims its own greatness, but heralds the Supreme Macro-cosmic Entity.
When they reach the pinnacle of devotion they see the Supreme Entity is everything. There remains only the singular urge to serve the Lord with utmost devotion. When the devotee surrenders his entire existential feeling at the altar of the Almighty, there remain no more difference, only an unbroken, sweet blissful ocean in which the Supreme Entity manifests Himself endlessly in His innumerable waves.
