Before creation I alone was, there was no other existence of the nature of cause and effect different from Me. After the creative cycle ends also, I alone exist. For, this universe is also Myself, and when everything is dissolved in its cause in Pralaya, what remains is only Myself. KrishnaDwaipayana Vyasa
About This Quote

Before creation I alone was, there was no other existence of the nature of cause and effect different from Me. After the creative cycle ends also, I alone exist. For, this universe is also Myself, and when everything is dissolved in its cause in Pralaya, what remains is only Myself. This quote is about how everything has a cause, everything has an effect even the very atoms of the earth are made up of protons and electrons which are smaller particles. When the world ends it is not because of any thing apart from God because all things are just temporary effects that come into being only to dissolve again into their causes.
