The gross creation is ruled, managed by the subtle one and the subtle energy is called the Devas.
We have heard from the seers that it is different from vidya and from avidya too. Yes, this is obvious. A dietician will say what you need - increase proteins, reduce fat, increase carbohydrates. They give you this knowledge. This is very subtle knowledge.
Similarly in the realm of consciousness there are subtle forces and they are called the Devas. How many Devas are there? 33 crores. What are 33 crores in millions? 330 million. I don't know who counted it, whether the counting is correct or not.
Maybe there is some addition to it by now. There are so many different types of Devas present in the consciousness or Brahman. All these different Devas have a definite role to play in the protection of the universe.
As I said, each animal carries some biodynamic rays with them and these are the carriers of the Devas. A particular kind of biodynamic energy is brought to the world by the peacock, lion, and by every other species.
Every single species is connected to a Deva. Do you know what the anthropologists say today? Even if one species becomes extinct from the creation, there will be total imbalance and chaos in the whole creation, the creation cannot sustain itself.
They may reduce in number but they cannot get totally extinct because the creation will dissolve and new creation will have to happen. This is related to the string theory in physics. A butterfly, a mosquito, a rabbit, a cat are all part of this creation.
Even if anyone of this species becomes totally extinct, this creation will dissolve. This is the science of the Devas. Osteopaths have found out that if you have a particular problem, how you have to correct that particular muscle, tissue, in your body so that you feel better.
The job of the Devas is to bring comfort in this gross creation. The gross creation is ruled, managed by the subtle one and the subtle energy is called the Devas.
