The reason why there is something rather than nothing is simple. First we need to understand that nothing(ness) never existed; self always existed. The answer to the question as to what is self is everything. What it means is that self it(self) is, i.e., self itself exists as existence. There is no such thing as non-existence, there is no such thing as a void, there is no such thing as emptiness. All there is is self and self is fullness. Now why self exists? Love. The need to love and be loved upholds itself; verily all this is self and self is one without a second.
