TT, if you are interested in what God said in this regard.
God made mention that the universe was created via the sound of one word.
this current universe is the 7th universe if i remember correctly.
outside of this universe there is much larger layer/zone which is more subtle than space
and outside of this is the final largest layer/zone and even more subtle.
He made mention that the universe is an illusion(i understand as compared to Truth).
The analogy given is like that of watching a movie, we get attached to the emotion and illusion of the movie.
and we think that the movie is 'reality'.
the universe is a dream, when we wake up we will realise that is was a dream.
what is the reason for all these creation?, a disciple asked.
it is MY mystery.
on another occasion, a devotee asked, what is the reason for all these?
God said, it is Love and for Love that I created all these.
