Guest guest Posted December 1, 1999 Report Share Posted December 1, 1999 Qualities of love, freedom, and bliss are inherent, in their limitless proportions, in the universal consciousness. This is the only existence. The evolution attempts to manifest these qualities in degrees. Every human being tries to express these qualities, some can do better than the others. Limitations of mind and matter make these qualities appear distorted, but all the same, love there is. The atom manifests this as love between its subatomic constituents, the molecule in its attachments of various atoms, tissues and organs as the systematic arrangement of molecules, and human being as the organized systems. With each stage, higher and larger aspect of love shines forth. There is no sinner nor murderer, jealousy and hatred are mere expressions of this love in a very selfish individual. Such individuals love themselves only, and if they see their freedom or security endangered, they may attack others: with knife or with selfish thoughts. A saint, on the other hand, loves others as well, as much as he loves himself, and therefore, he is ready to give his life to protect even the life of a goat. In higher evolved human being there will be more expression of love, bliss, and freedom. He will strive to make others happy. The selfishness will by necessity be replaced by selflessness due to altered quality of the structure and function of his brain. This can be taken as a hypothesis at present, but when we study such mystics who have lived their lives expressing all these qualities, this may become acceptable theory. The necessary attempts to develop the brain centers through spiritual practices cannot be overemphasized. It is possible for us to develop such qualities in ourselves through renunciation and contemplation. Conscious, deliberate and willful sadhana alone can help us reach this state of universal bliss, peace, and love. Scientific study of samadhi is, therefore, a scientific study of human evolutionary trend. dr c s s-- =^=^=^=^=^ E-magazine on science and spirituality.
