These inquiries are the foundation of Vedic Darshan.  These significant queries are answered beautifully in the famous nasadiya sukta (RigVeda, 10:129).  There are seven suktas starting with the explanation about the अव्यक्तम् ॥ Avyakta which was gradually transformed by the process of creation to व्यक्तम् || Vyakta or सत् || Sat.
