Lord Krishna said that this world, was not created by God, but rather, it came about naturally. It runs naturally. This too is mentioned in the ‘Gita' .
“Na kartuvam, na karmani, lokashya shrujati prabhu:
Na karmafad sanyog, svabhavastu pravatate!”
“The Lord does not do anything in man's doership, karma, or karma effect.
Everything runs in this world based on its own nature.”
The world runs naturally with vyavasthit shakti , this is the energy that is behind it. A seed of a banyan tree is smaller than even a mustard seed and yet it has the energy of the complete banyan tree. The entire banyan tree is contained within the seed, as potential energy. Vyavasthit will bring together all the circumstances and it will result in the formation of a full-grown tree.
Vyavasthit is the energy that runs this world, but it is not the creator of this world. The world has evolved naturally, over a period of infinite time. It has been in existence from endless time. No one has created it. The basic elements that exist in this world are natural, but when they interact with each other on the relative level, they become unnatural ( vibhavik ).
What if the world comes to an end? The nature of the world is not such that it will end. It is in its nature to run continuously. From the tree comes the seed and from the seed comes the tree. People say that God runs the world. If someone were running the world, it would have to come to a stop sooner or later. Those that go to Moksha also do so because of the attribute of svabhaav (the inherent attribute) to do so. Therefore, nothing is going to come to a halt or be ruined. The world has continued even after the departure of Lord Ramchandraji and Lord Krishna. No one has created this world; it continues to run by its very nature. What is the nature of the world? It is ever changing and constantly revolving.
