Right, only one thing I have a little trouble with and that is that 
in pralaya you call: the Will to destroy, I think there is a better 
word for, the Will to keeep things in rest.For later new creations.
Destroy is a finite definition.Than it would like we take not 
rememberance with us.The one state flows always cumulative over in 
the next.

be understood by them and to be realised.
