Notes on BSB I-i-2-1E - The Cosmic Dance!

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sunderji:

 

Sadaji's dancing around the stage reminds me the Dance of Shiva, the

symbolic representation of the Cosmic Cycles creation and destruction

of the Universe. The Hindu mysticism captures the rhythm of the life

of birth and death through the Statue of Nataraja (dancing Shiva).

Nataraj signifies us that the manifold forms in the world are maya-not

fundamental, but illusory and ever-changing as He keeps creating and

dissolving them in the ceaseless flow of His dance. In other words,

the dance of Shiva is the dancing universe; the ceaseless flow of

energy going through an infinite variety of patterns that into one

another.

 

Modern physics has shown that the rhythm of creation and destruction

is not only manifest in the turn of the seasons and in the birth and

death of all living creatures, but is also the very essence of

inorganic matter. According to quantum field theory, all interactions

between the constituents of matter take place through the emission and

absorption of virtual particles. More than that, the dance of creation

and destruction is the basis of the very existence of matter, since

all material particles 'self-interact' by emitting and reabsorbing the

virtual particles. The pattern of this dance are an essential aspects

of each particle's nature and determine many of its properties.

 

We are all dancing in and around all the time and this dance has no

beginning without an end!

Namaste Ramji,

 

Actually, one of the early attempts at reconciling the modern

physics with the metaphysics was titled :

 

The Dancing Wu-Li Masters!! [by Gary Zukav and David Finkelstein]

 

Only our 'egos' seem to prevent us from becoming masters!!
