श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
अनाद्यविद्यासंसुप्तान् जीवाननुशयान् हरिः ।
पुरुषार्थान् दर्शयितुं ससर्ज कृपया जगत् ॥
The Sadguru said:
Out of compassion, Hari created the world to show the goals of human life (puruṣārthas) to the souls who were sleeping in beginningless ignorance and were latently bound (by karma).
