In the Chandogya, 6-2-2, 'asat’ word denotes "the creation that is not orderly" but this meaning got obscured. According to the Sankya system it means, Pradhana or inert matter.

In Chandogya Upanishad the conversation of Uddalaka and his son Shvetaketu is about the Origin of the Universe or Sristhi.  Uddalaka says dear child, some believe that originally only the inert matter (Creation) existed and they argue that it is from that चैतन्यमय || chaitnaya maya (full of life and energy) Creation appeared.  But how it it possible?  The paramatma who is synonymous to sat was addressed as such, was existing beyond the creation, while everything was within Him.  And he gives the example of the pot that is born out of clay (the raw material), gold ornaments from the metal, nail cutter when iron is transformed. This gives rise to interdependence of cause and effect, wherein through Parmatama we can understand Creation and vice versa.

To call Creation an illusion, a Circle or a fireball and claim that it never took place circle is not only speculative but goes completely against the entire Vedic philosophy. Through the Nasadiya we understand that the cause of the Sristhi is Paramatma and this forms the foundation of Vedadharma and Vedadarshan.
