Look how the seeds of trees, plants, herbs, creepers,etc.
are all contained in the earth but only some of them
sprout forth according to the soil, climate and season.
So also the nature and extent of powers for manifestation are
determined by conditions. At the time Brahman (thesubstratum of all the powers of Maya), joins the power of thinking, this power manifests as mind. Thus Maya so long dormant suddenly starts forth as mind from
the Supreme Brahman, the common source of all.
Then this mind fashions
all the universe.
On seeing the dreamlike body, senses, etc.,
the jiva is deluded into the belief that he is the body, senses, etc.;
with them he turns round and round through the waking, dream and deep sleep states.
This forms his samsara.....
