Oh Guruvayoorappa! Before Pralaya time everything in the Universe viz. Kala (time), Karma(action), Guna (mood), the Jivathmas (individual souls ) all lay merged in Thy supremeform. The effects of the three qualities of'Sathwa', 'Rajas' and 'Tamas' were neutralisedby keeping them in equilibrium.The Lord alone was there as the supreme bliss and consciousness. The very concept of "Time",the sum-total of "Karmas"and the three 'Gunas', all the 'Jivas'and the whole Universe were absorbed in the Pure-Bliss-Consciousness. The Srutis do not declare them as being non existent. They remained in causal form. Otherwise, like the non existence of the flowers in the sky, how could they come into existence again.
