From Bhagavad Gita:

"I am the birth of this cosmos, its dissolution also. I am He who causes, no other beside me. Upon me these worlds are held Like pearls strung on a string. These my wandering creatures are always within me. These, when the round of ages is accomplished, I gather back to the seed of their becoming: These I send forth again at the hour of creation. Helpless all, for Maya (delusion) is their master And I, their Lord, the master of Maya: Ever and again, I send these multitudes forth from my being."
