According to the teachings in Chapter 50, the universe unfolds in a specific sequence. It begins when Brahman, originally beyond attributes, becomes 'qualified' (shabal) by Avidya, or ignorance. This allows it to be called 'Sat' (Existence) and become expressible. From this expressible Brahman, the 'Unmanifest' (Avyakta) emerges. Subsequently, from the Unmanifest arises the 'Great Principle' (Mahat-tattva), and within its womb, egoism is born. The process continues with the five Tanmatras (subtle elements) emerging from egoism, and the five great elements (gross elements) forming within them. Finally, from the womb of these five great elements, the entire world is born.
