text: From a Hindu perspective : yes\n\nBrahman (God) manifested the entire universe from Itself and yet also Brahman pervades the universe. Thus the rock is Brahman and so all living beings in the universe. Thus, knowing that there are rocks so large the people cannot lift, Brahman has thus created Itself in the form of rocks that are so large that Itself in the form of people cannot lift.\n\nIf that makes sense.\n\nThe word Brahman is derived from two Sanskrit words Brih and Manah. Brih means "great" or "expanding" and Manah means "consciousness". Thus Brahman is "Great Consciousness" or "Expanding Consciousness"...although is usually translated into English as "Cosmic Consciousness", "Ultimate Reality", "Universal Soul".
