Opinions are opinions. There is nothing called ‘my opinion.’ All opinions are alien, foreign to you. They are always others. Even if they happen to be present in your mind, they are still others. It is just that you are so brain-identified that when an opinion is present in your brain, you start thinking that it is your opinion. And from where did that opinion come to your brain? It came either from biology or from society. How is the opinion yours then?

Questioner: “Only the creator (God) who created the world knows when he created it. Limitless is his creation, and there is no end to his gifts (blessings).” ~ Japuji Sahib, Nitnem
Why did God create the world? Is it not us, the unliberated ones, who create this world within us and influence it and get influenced by it?
Acharya Prashant: Yes, Abilash, that's quite a scholarly thing to say, “that the world is created by us.” We project the world, and then we get influenced by our own projections, and so on and so forth. The cycle continues. But then the question still remains much the same. Even if you are the one projecting the world, who created you, and why?
So let's say you are the one who creates the world. Then the Nitnem is saying, “only the creator God knows why and when he created you.” Substitute “the world” with “yourself.”
