Mr Sanmugan - does this mean imagination is the creator of samsara?

Yes, and as Sri Auroindo in The Future of Poetry an other places said true imagination mirrors the worlds of realization.

And as one of the integral pioners Sri Aurobindo confessed the reality of evolution and creative tensions to push human race forwards.

Thanks!

Fine, It is the will power of ours. We are the creators. Whatever we imagine is created. That is why we are expected to think good and do good always.
Thanks a lot for both.

We are being showered by spiritual treasures like ' The future of  Poetry.”, expecting more and more like this.

I was triggered especially by Aurobindos second sentence here about imaginative style.

“There is a higher style of poetry than this which yet falls below the level to which we have to climb. It is no longer poetical language of a merely intellectual, vital or emotional force, but instead or in addition a genuinely imaginative style, with a certain, often a great beauty of vision in it, whether objective or subjective, or with a certain, often a great but indefinite soulpower bearing up its movement of word and rhythm”
