God had created the world in play.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Hindu scripture, suggests that the act of creation by God was done in a manner of playfulness. It implies that the universe was created with a sense of joy, creativity, and spontaneity rather than being a purely serious or pragmatic endeavor. This perspective emphasizes the idea that creation is a reflection of the divine will, showcasing the divine's capacity for delight and amusement. This interpretation of creation as play reflects a broader belief in Hinduism that the ultimate reality is a cosmic game or drama in which all beings participate.
