O son of Kunti, at the end of the millennium all material manifestations enter into My nature, and at the beginning of another millennium, by My potency, I create them again.

At the end of a cosmic cycle, all creation dissolves back into the primordial nature of the Divine — like waves returning to the ocean. Then, at the dawn of a new cycle, Krishna sends them forth again. Creation and dissolution are not catastrophes but the rhythmic breathing of the Infinite.
