Prayers for Creative Energy
(14)

Supreme, who in enjoying pastimes in the matter of the
cosmic creation, maintenance and destruction, for sure is
distinguished by the glories of the eternal original
form: all glory to the intelligence of the self-knowledge
after Your transcendence of the illusory
conception.

is the great force controlling all physical
action.

born of a color mixed of red [for passion] and
blue [for ignorance].
