A drop in the ocean or an ocean in a drop ?

You are not a drop of water in an ocean, you are the ocean thinking yourself as the drop.

Reality, by nature is infinite. It cannot be captured in words or thoughts or even actions. The moment you try to capture, it slips away from the hands. You can get hold of only a part of it but never the whole of it, because if you were able to do so then reality by the very definition of the term will lose its infiniteness and get reduced to a finite concept. You can admire reality, worship it or even fall in love with it but you can never strip it of its infinite nature. Everything that you see around us are material particles arranged in various compositions and held together by exchange of force carrying particles to create the reality around us. At the fundamental level these particles are packets of energy vibrating at different frequencies to create a Universe that we can perceive. We, ourselves are made of the same energy that the material Universe is made of, only with certain additional capability that we call consciousness. It is not something that is beyond our reality but an intrinsic aspect of it. As matter has evolved from a proton to a human, this ability has surfaced as a climax in our evolutionary journey. 

It is indeed a wonderful realization that everything that there is, starting from the giant stars to the gigantic galaxies was at some point in time contained in a space that is smaller than an atom and is expanding since the last 13.2 billion years. This smaller than atom Universe carried with it a potential of a vast space time where intelligent life will strive and wonder at the proceedings. Time is the seed of the Universe.

In all our conversations and interactions with the space time, we assume that time is flowing linearly from a point in past to a point in future. Our mind vectorizes the concept of time. What if we say that time itself is an illusion created by the mind. The Universe is simultaneously smaller than an atom and many times larger than its present size. The Sun is not yet born but it has just turned into a white dwarf. If we look at the present, dusts of clouds are still getting pulled by gravity to create a proto star and giant ones are exhausting their fuels and knocking at the doors of death. Reality is the dynamic and simultaneous process of life and death. 

Time is not moving; we are moving through time. This makes the whole of reality a perceived one, like the frames of a movie with us as spectators interacting with it through our senses. The entire reality is in fact virtual. It is a simulation, and this is what it has been since the beginning of space time. We get to realize it now. It has evolved itself enabling its perception as a grand simulation mechanism. There cannot be anything beyond this reality because this is infinity and infinity plus anything is infinity itself. We can limit infinity by setting certain restrictive conditions and believe that infinity is a hypothesis, whereas in fact infinity is the ultimate reality. We do not exactly know from science why the infinite reality chose to get reduced to a finite entity. Our best guess is that there must be some spontaneous love for finite existence.

We ourselves are infinite, journeying through the space time construct of our minds. This is the reality and everything that I think there is, is only myself. I am the reality.

The middle class trap

I have heard this many times that middle class life is bliss. You are not rich enough to be insecure with your wealth, not poor enough to be incapable of meeting your survival needs. It is the middle class that is the fuel of the economy. We, the middle class people, should aspire to educate ourselves , have ambitions to be rich and lead a moral disciplined life. We should be loyal to our friends , families and our jobs. We should be religious and honest and punctual and be sensitive to the needs of the society.  However, when I think carefully , it seems that the existence of middle class itself is an illusion. Someone who is a middle class in USA  is a poor class person in Africa. Even within the middle class , there are numerous sub classes with complex interactions between them. In India a Brahmin and a Sudra can both be economically middle class but in terms of social hierarchy , one of them enjoys higher power and prestige than the other. The use of the term middle class...

The twenty laws of The Mother

  1) The words that symbolizes The Universal power like God, Allah, Krishna , Kali , Universe , Energy , Shakti and many others are mere synonyms. To these words , I may add another one , " The Universal Mother" , the ONE , who expresses herself through NATURE.  2) The Universe is the play of existence and non existence and the mutual interactions between them. If Shakti is existence , Shiva is non-existence. They are inseparable and essentially two different but complementary perspectives of the same entity.  3) Reality is made of pairs of opposites . We can not think of Life separated from Death  or of Good without thinking of evil. These are interdependent of each other and cannot exist in isolation. 4) Matter is Energy that is condensed in finite time and space. Matter is one of many manifestations of energy. The creative and destructive energy of the Universe is manifestation of consciousness. This is the One source of all Truth and Bliss. We can call it Love....

The Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita by Aldous Huxley

This interpretation of perennial philosophy (Sanatana-dharma) by Aldous Huxley is one of my favorite reads from the subject of Philosophy. When I first read it , I realized that it does not take understanding of Quantum Physics and Neurosciences to know the reality. Consciousness , herself has the ability to realize herself through an intuitive knowledge.  The Perennial Philosophy, as realized by the subjective experiences of many mystics , in different religious traditions , offers a universal metaphysical framework that transcends individual world views. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life and things in the Universe and promotes a path of self-realization and divine unity, offering a profound alternative to the materialistic and action-oriented philosophies that dominate modern thought.  Here it is : "The Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita by Aldous Huxley (The Introduction is in the Translation of Bhagavad-Gita by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood.) ...
