Creation is work without an object and is called as the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva (God).

There are two types of work. One is objectless work (akarmaka kriyaa) and the other is work with an object (sakarmaka kriyaa).

For example, let's take the statement, “Rama killed Ravana”. In this statement, the verb has an object. The verb describes the work of killing and the object is Ravana.

On the other hand, in the statement, “Rama walks”, the verb represents the work of walking, which has no object.

Extending this logic, it is possible to say that in the absolute plane, even primordial energy, which is the ultimate cause of this creation, is just a form of work. Hence, all of creation, consisting of different modified forms of primordial energy, becomes only work.

In this sense, this work of creation has no object because the entire creation (consisting of all possible objects) is simply work. There is no object or entity leftover that is not work.

But it's important to remember that this state is the absolute plane and not the relative plane in which we experience certain forms of work as objects (such as a hill, a table, etc.) and certain other forms of work as work (such as electricity).

In the absolute plane, no object is leftover and hence all of creation becomes a work without an object. When we say that somebody is dancing, the work of dancing is also present without an object. Therefore, this entire creation is stated to be the dance of God (Lord Shiva).
