Brahman is both the cause and effect. That is why, we call Brahman as omnipresent. Our mind due to innate ignorance refuse to accept this fact. Mind gets attached to the pleasures of material world and is not willing to see Brahman's omnipresence. Whatever is the effect of Brahman is superimposition on Himself and due to our innate ignorance, we are unable to realize Brahman. In Advaita, everything is Brahman and Advaita should not be confused with Trika Philosophy. In Advaita, we have to go past superimposition caused by It only. It is like a silk worm forming a cocoon around it. Brahman has given us mind and intellect, which we have to use to understand that superimposition is maayaa and we have to go past this veil of maayaa to understand Brahman. Take the example of sun. Sun is always there shining. We always take notice of sun's light and not the sun. Similarly, we observer and get entangled in the material world and we do not look into the cause of the material world.

What is the cause of the creation of super impositions itself? Meaning if it like sun do you mean that because of light these things are happening - meaning creation is taking place just as a by-product of Brahman shine, but in actuality Brahman is neither shine nor does do anything and is just emptiness? How can this emptiness come up with life?So Shiva is pervaded through out the universe as just an empty space and out of this empty space I'm just creating a shell (veil of maya) to differentiate between myself and others, but in actuality I'm that empty space but covered by Shiva shine (Shakthi, which comes out automatically because of Shivas nature?)The only conflicting question that will arise here is that Brahman is both a shining ball (for the sake easy understanding) when he has attributes and emptiness when he has no attributes, but how can something come up when everything is inert, as the inert consciousness should at-least, should have a will otherwise even shakthi will not come into existence.If there was a will then Brahman to start of actually shed its inert nature and kick started the process and then with drew back to its original nature just to observe it pulsation?When I read the Trika article in the website, it speaks about this logic where Paramashiva (nothingness) kick started the process in true it created Shiva (shining ball) and out of which Shakthi came out as a by product because of Shivas brilliance, but Shiva here in this context is a limitation as the existence of Shiva is purely out of Nothingness?Lastly does this nothingness have intelligence or mind of its own as withing out which the initial shouldn't have happened.

There is no need for sorry and it is not a trouble too. What I have said is that many things are being discussed in the remaining verses.

Most of these questions are being addressed in subsequent parts. Prāṇa and its modifications play an important role in our action. Prāṇāyama undoubtedly helps in keeping our mind calm, on a comparative basis. As for Self-realization is concerned, we have to go more with buddhi and Self-inquiry like "Who am I" and buddhi alone will tell you, "you are That." Affirmations are also important in Self-realization. We are nearing 50% of Vivekachudamani. Most of your doubts are being addressed in the balance 50%.
