Material cause and intelligent cause of creation

For any creation, we need two - material and intelligent causes. If we need to create a pot we need clay (material cause) and potter’s intelligence (intelligent cause). The supreme consciousness is the intelligent cause that uses its special power called Maya and creates the entire universe. The efficient and material causes of creation is the same - the consciousness itself, just like a spider is the efficient and material cause of the web it spins - using its saliva and its innate intelligence to spin the web.
