[Advaita-l] Which one is first in the creation sequence

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste
I have given one reference from Swami Krishnananda website. Time is also
created by God only. Time is a product of Maya. Time is created with other
things in the world. But if you accept creation is not new but from seed
there is a easy explanation.

When a room is dark and there are many objects in the room you cannot see
the objects but they are there. You cannot say nothing is existing. When
you switch on the light you can immediately see the objects. There objects
are seen simultaneously and not one by one.

Same thing is said in Akramadruk sloka of Naishkarmya Siddhi.
