On the night of December 2nd (1927), Meher Baba expounded about the universe and mahapralaya – cosmic dissolution: How was the universe created? It was automatic. There are innumerable universes which are interlaced with one another; one universe creates another in a chain reaction. These universes are so numerous that even Sadgurus cannot count them. I once tried to count them …

Every one of you, every one of the mandali and all beings are God. Why? I understand it. I am responsible for the whole creation.
