String Theory.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Only yesterday the Discovery channel was showing an episode

titled " Elegant Universe " and yes, they were discussing the string

theory. The string theory appears to be complex because, as mentioned

in my previous mail, there appears to be infinite interpretations.

 

For those lay persons trying to understand physics as well as the

cosmos I would recommend authors like Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking,

Jayant Nirlekar, Fritzof Capra etc. There are many easy to understand

books now out in the market.

 

For those in the spiritual line, please rest assured we are on the

right track. Please remember one thing, neither Swamiji nor Thakur

ever spoke a lie. Have faith in what they have spoken. As Swami

Sivanandaji (Mahapurush Maharaj) remarked, " We haven't come to cheat

people. "

 

I personally read books on science just to know about the latest

concepts emerging. It gives me great pleasure when I find our

spiritual truths being reflected in them. When we are in deep trouble

we turn to God. God is not only scientific but the source of all

knowledge. I am happy that, at least in India, most of our scientists

are devoted to God. That does not take away anything from them but

adds compassion and devotion to what they do. A great devotee as well

as a great scientist is our own President A P J Abdul Kalam. In his

life we see an ideal combination of science and spirituality. He is a

rare personality and worthy of reverence. He is a person who exudes

spirituality.

 

God is for every one, literate or illiterate. The literate devotee

does not experience anything that the illiterate devotee cannot

experience. I have mentioned the experiences of Latu Maharaj. He

could not even write the alphabet but look at his wisdom !! As Thakur

said, the source of knowledge (Mother) provides all the knowledge to

the sincere devotee. When Hriday used to rebuke him for taking on the

high and the mighty, Thakur used to protest, " But the Mother speaks

through me. What can I do? "

 

Just as zero's have no value without the " one " , all our efforts have

no value with recognising and experiencing God in our lives. It pains

me when scientists say God is " unscientific. " What a horrid idea!! It

is like beheading oneself.

 

Let us have faith on our " illiterate " Thakur. In due time, and

depending on our efforts he will reveal everything to us. If you

cannot make that effort there is an even better option, develop love

for the Holy Mother. Father may rebuke us but Mother's arms are

always waiting to embrace us, in whatever way we approach her, in

whatever state we approach her. Just think about her abhay

bani, " Whenever you are in trouble, think that you have a Mother. "

What tremendous words !! What compassionate words !!! She is always

waiting to give without expecting anything in return. Like Sadashiva

she is willing to take all our poisons. We need not even knock at her

doors, her house is without doors, without compound walls.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.

I found this paper on Vedanta and String theory on Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com)
