11.28.6

ātmaiva tad idaṃ viśvaṃ sṛjyate sṛjati prabhuḥ /
trāyate trāti viśvātmā hriyate haratīśvaraḥ //

6. V. _Note._ Here Paramatman is shown to be the material cause of the Universe — (Atman - Paramatman); this idea is brought out by the passive construction.

D. Being almighty, Paramatman, (and no other), creates, protects and dissolves this Universe, the absolute Lord of all, of His own will creates Himself into various forms, maintains Himself, (i. e., remains among mortals) for a period as He chooses, and withdraws His rays into Himself - Hence the Universe is no illusion or hallucination.
