“At the coming of day, all manifestations emerge from the unmanifest; at the coming of night, they dissolve into that same unmanifest.”
Sanskrit
अव्यक्ताद्व्यक्तयः सर्वाः प्रभवन्त्यहरागमे | रात्र्यागमे प्रलीयन्ते तत्रैवाव्यक्तसंज्ञके ||

avyaktād vyaktayaḥ sarvāḥ prabhavanty ahar-āgame rātry-āgame pralīyante tatraivāvyakta-saṁjñake
Commentary
Creation unfolds from the unmanifest at cosmic dawn and dissolves back into it at cosmic night. This cyclical process repeats endlessly in material existence.
