On the standpoint of soul as self origination is impossibility. The various theories of creation - that it is the expansion of God or it is the will of God or it is for God's enjoyment or it is an illusion like a dream or it proceeds from time - are all rejected when one become Gnani who is realized the fact that, the soul is the true self.
Creation is the very nature of soul. It is his inherent nature which simply emanates and flows from it. But even this is only an appearance for in truth there's no creation at all. For a Gnani the world is an illusion.
Viewed from the soul as self there’s neither birth, life and nor death, neither appearance nor disappearance, neither production nor destruction neither inaction nor action, neither bondage nor liberation. There's none which neither works for freedom nor is there any who is liberated - this is the highest truth/Brahman.
