In the Hindu view of nature, then, all forms are relative, fluid and ever-changing maya, conjured up by the great magician of the divine play. The world of maya changes continuously, because the divine lila is a rhythmic, dynamic play. The dynamic force of the play is karma, important concept of Indian thought. Karma means ‘action.’ It is the active principle of the play, the total universe in action, where everything is dynamically connected with everything else. In the words of the Gita, karma is the force of creation, wherefrom all things have their life.
