The Lord started creation with the hep of his own Maaya.

एवं च द्विपरार्धकालविगता वीक्षां सिस्य्क्षात्मिकां
बिभ्राणे त्वयि चुक्षुभे त्रिव्भुवनीभावाय माया स्वयं।
मायातः खलु कालशक्तिरखिला धृष्टं स्व्भावोऽपि च
प्रादुर्भूय गुणान् विकास्य विदधुस्तस्याः सहयक्रियाम्॥३॥
श्रीमन्नारायणीये दशकं ५

एवम् द्विपरार्ध काल विगतौ च त्वयि सिस्यक्षात्मिकां ईक्षां बिभ्राणे सति त्रिभुवनीभावाय मया स्वयं चुक्षुभे। मायातः खलु कालशक्टिः अखिल्ल्दृष्टं स्वभावः अपि च् प्रादुर्भूय गुणान् विकास्य तस्याः सहायक्रियां विदधुः।

The absence of the distintion between Vyaktha and Avyaktha (clear and unclear.. something akin to the triple point in thermodynamics)  and the details of such existence in recounted in this stanza. You Guruvayurappa, you remains in the condition of perfect introspection for two paradhas.. each parardha is nearaly ten raised to eighteen years..)  and then you exalted mind had a desire for creating things.. then the Maya inherent in you  became agitated herself to convert herself  as the three universes.  In that Maaya, manifested time, the discrimination of good and bad, and  all seen and unseen qualities which consitute the apparent universe now.  You simply divided and enhanced the three Gunas, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas and just stood as a witness lending a occsional helping hand to your own maya.

Again this is an intricate thought process which if is to be expanded  would cover pages and pages for description. but the essential life of Narayaneeyam is Bhakthi and Leela of Guruvayurappan.  This is only a curtain raiser.
The Lord started creation with the hep of his own Maaya.
