     One wonders whether such an event, a conscious, improbable-but-made-probable event, took place at the time of creation, the act itself being nothing but a polarisation (or separation quality-wise) of the attributeless Nirguna, a separation of zero plus x and minus x. This is indeed the genesis of the Big Bang theory of science.

From polariser +‎ -ation.
