Food for thought

Dear Friends,

Astrology is said to be an incomplete knowledge; science only gives us

half truth. There are instances and incidences which astrology doesn't

understand and science will not comprehend. Can we explain all behaviours, mechanics,

and principles of common or uncommon occurrences through astrology and ancient

knowledge, or we have to look up to modern science, or get into the fields of

quantum physics or metaphysics, mystics or just leave it to God? Or else, it is

time we learn to integrate all existing knowledge as there must be a governing

principle, a reason behind every happening. There are a trillion such things we observe and marvel at everyday. Suppose

we talk about distance. We know that distance is measured in metres, kilometers,

even light years… but what is distance? We see no concept of distance when we

compare the astrological impacts of sun and moon. When we hold the nakshatras

as responsible for our innate being, we don't see how far they are from us. The

same applies for two local bodies, people on the planet, living near or far,

each one must be impacting the other. We all understand the positive-negative

vibes, the interactions, the telepathy, the love and hate between the people. Astrologically,

we try to find these meanings in the planetary positions at birth of the two

bodies. How and why do we relate to each other in the manner we do? This is one

such question, among the many, we ask everyday.

When West was

sufficiently intrigued, including Einstein, it came up with Quantum Physics and

metaphysics which dealt in the 'may be' or 'could be' of science.

Einstein told us that

there was no concept as distance. All objects intersect each other. Any action

simply becomes an interaction because of this intersection of two objects. This

becomes identical with the coordinate system extending infinitely and astrology

giving us a basis for non-local interaction with heavenly bodies. This also

becomes the basis of individual equations then.

What do our bodies represent?

The theory says that all existence is in the form of sub-space particles in the

sub-space plasma. The laws show that force, field, and energy are geometric

properties directly related to quantum geometry. The sub-space particles demonstrate

the necessary measures, conditions, constraints and conditions which explains wave-like

behaviour and the particle like behaviour. Hence we explain the

interaction between two people. When we remain in particle form, we do not

interact from a distance. When we assume wave form, distance is lost.

Einstein says: A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part

limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings

as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of

consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our

personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task

must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion

to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true

value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they

have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new

manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.

Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended.

Effectively, matter, space and universe are one and the same thing, which leads

us to the theory of relativity. Theory of relativity in one sentence would mean

that time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. The

Metaphysics of Space and Motion and the Wave Structure of Matter (WSM) explains

this necessary connection between matter, forces, space and time, and thus how

matter is connected across the universe.

In his famous equation outlining the equivalence of mass and energy,

Einstein proved that the energy in any particle of matter is equal to its mass

or weight multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The release of the

atomic energies is brought about through the annihilation of the material

particles. Light-velocity is a mathematical standard or constant not because

there is an absolute value in 186,000 miles a second, but because no material

body, whose mass increases with its velocity, can ever attain the velocity of

light. Stated another way: only a material body whose mass is infinite could

equal the velocity of light.

Einstein had mathematically proved something which our enlightened masters

had experienced and demonstrated many a times in the past. The ancient yoga

philosophy seemed to be saying much the same thing about reality as the emerging

Quantum Theory. I quote here from one of the masters who I love, admire and remain devoted

to. I am sure many of you would know him.

"I sat on my bed in the lotus posture. My room was

dimly lit by two shaded lamps. Lifting my gaze, I noticed that the ceiling was

dotted with small mustard-colored lights, scintillating and quivering with a

radium like luster. Myriads of pencilled rays, like sheets of rain, gathered

into a transparent shaft and poured silently upon me.

At once my physical body lost its grossness and became

metamorphosed into astral texture. I felt a floating sensation as, barely

touching the bed, the weightless body shifted slightly and alternately to left

and right. I looked around the room; the furniture and walls were as usual, but

the little mass of light had so multiplied that the ceiling was invisible. I

was wonder-struck.

" This is the cosmic motion picture

mechanism. " A voice spoke as though from within the light. " Shedding

its beam on the white screen of your bed sheets, it is producing the picture of

your body. Behold, your form is nothing but light! "

I gazed at my arms and moved them back and forth,

yet could not feel their weight. An ecstatic joy overwhelmed me. This cosmic

stem of light, blossoming as my body, seemed a divine replica of the light

beams streaming out of the projection booth in a cinema house and manifesting

as pictures on the screen.

For a long time I experienced this motion picture

of my body in the dimly lighted theater of my own bedroom. Despite the many

visions I have had, none was ever more singular. As my illusion of a solid body

was completely dissipated, and my realization deepened that the essence of all

objects is light, I looked up to the throbbing stream of life-trons and spoke

entreatingly.

" Divine Light, please withdraw this, my humble

bodily picture, into Thyself, even as Elijah was drawn up to heaven by a

flame. "

This prayer was evidently startling; the beam

disappeared. My body resumed its normal weight and sank on the bed; the swarm

of dazzling ceiling lights flickered and vanished. My time to leave this earth

had apparently not arrived…"

We owe a lot of our

understanding to these enlightened souls... about our universe, both physical and biological as well as those

unseen forms which we witness at times, such as in our dream state and altered

states of our being.

So far, I had been discussing 'How'. Still there is a big question of why? For this I would like to quote

again from the same master,

"To surmount MAYA was the task assigned to the

human race by the millennial prophets. To rise above the duality of creation

and perceive the unity of the Creator was conceived of as man's highest goal.

Those who cling to the cosmic illusion must accept its essential law of

polarity: flow and ebb, rise and fall, day and night, pleasure and pain, good

and evil, birth and death. This cyclic pattern assumes a certain anguishing

monotony, after man has gone through a few thousand human births; he begins to

cast a hopeful eye beyond the compulsions of MAYA."And I think we should believe him. For we have no other option yet.Regards

Dear Sunil ji,Absolutely.The theory of relativity, which proves that

matter, space and universe are one and the same thing, is something we've known

for ages. The transmutability of matter and energy in space was also not new to

us and has been demonstrated by our Yogis from time to time.

We have always said that Brahma is the Universal

Substrate. In the Upanishads, Brahma is the name for the ultimate, unchanging

reality, composed of pure being and consciousness. Brahma lies behind the

apparent multiplicity of the phenomenal world, and is ultimately identical to

the atman or inner essence of the human being " Eko Brahma, Dwiteeyo Nasti " .

The derivatives of this universal state are

then all other objects and hence the expression, 'Aham Brahmasmi' and 'tat twam

asi' Hence it may also be derived that there is

no God. There is only the universal principle that makes the world go. Brahma is

considered the all pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the

animate and inanimate entities and material. All beings are the Absolute

Fullness of Brahma. There is total non-separateness. Complete Oneness.

It is said:

Purnamadah, Purnamidam, Purnat Purnamudachyate;

Purnasya Purnamadaya, Purnameva vasishyate.

(That is full, this is full, out of that fullness has come this fullness,

If this fullness is taken out of that fullness, what remains is still fullness)

And, as you say, we see the truth of Lord

Krishna's words, … the entire universe is from a part of

his. It was by his Maya that he created the world as he says in the Bhagavad

Gita and we cannot see through this Maya due to the prevalence of the Rajas and

Tamas in us. If we can cultivate the Sattva then and then alone we can

get over our Avidya and see through the Maya of the Lord and see the

non-separateness and that is the way to realise the ultimate truth too.

The Advaita equation is simple in this context. It is due to Maya that the one single Atman (the individual soul) appears to the people as

many Atmans, each in a single body. Once the curtain of maya is lifted, the Atman is exactly equal to the Brahman. Thus,

due to true knowledge, an individual loses the sense of ego (Aham-kara) and achieves liberation, or Moksha.

There is an interesting example I read

somewhere, about this Lila,

Making universal bread Ingredients: 1) Lila 2) universe Flour 3) universe Water 4) universe Yeast

Instructions:

1) Start Playing Lila

2) Mix the flour and water (Prakriti)

3) Add the yeast (Maya)

4) Let Dough rise for a millennium

5) When done rising cook the Bread (Purusha)

6) Eat or Let Decompose

7) The minerals are still there

8) Start Process again (may be something other than bread)

9) Continue the cycle, repeat and repeat

10) Eventually realize that the bread isn't bread, after several tries, just a

bunch of flour water and yeast (Avidya)

11) Lila stops playing at this point

12) Bread reaches Moksha

13) No more bread (i.e. the minerals in the flour, water and yeast)

Enjoy the bread… but also strive to reach for moksha
