Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 1999 Long back once a friend of mine told me that world as seen by Dog is not same as seen by us. I just couldn't believe it. How can it be ? But it's true their visual spectrum is different from that of human beings. It's because of the kind of life they had to live. U can do a intenet search on Vision of Dogs n find number of sites explaining it in detail. In other words we can say that world seen by different species is different. We too being one of the species see only the limited world as much as shown by our physical senses. The world seen by us is that way for its necessary for us to see the world that way to live a living through this physical body. In other words we don't know how real our surroundings are or who r we really are ? We will have to go beyond the physical senses to know the reality of world. None of the experiments observed through physical senses can lead us to reality. They can take us to the point where it will difficult to account for some of the phenomenon . At this stage we need to go beyond this physical world to know wat the reality is. Till we observe something or the other even after crossing physical senses i guess even then too we r seeing something limited. To know the reality we will to rise above all tools of observation. I think that will relate to wat we call as dissolving in to the infinite to know the infinite. Wherever we look at infinity it will still be infinity . To know the infinity we will have to become infinity. Now we will have one to one correspondence with infinity. This Physical world is not false but it's only a limited view. All kind of observations will give us limited view. Einstien did a great job by relating the Mass to light 2 E = m c It says going from physical world to something with abstract nature which we call light. Can light be transformed to something else ? Should be for we can't stop unless it transforms to soul. Farther we go along transformations more abstract it will become to explain the nature of that transformed state. n in the end we can't just explain soul in terms of this limited physical world. To know it we ourselves will have to go under transformations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 1999 Report Share Posted August 26, 1999 Namaste Anurag Thanks for your insight. In fact, Swami-ji too said something similar to what you've said. He said that if the mind is X and any external object Y, then what you see is the MIND + OBJECT = XY. Therefore, what one is seeing is not necessarily true because the mind itself veils the true identity of any object outside it. So to really see Y, you have to get rid of X and that's exactly what you've said. Once this mind is removed then the reality becomes explicit and we shall know that we are one with the Universe which is infinity itself. Thanking you for giving me an opportunity to share my views. Regards.
