Beyond Time

Live and let Live

2016-06-23T10:30:00.001+05:30

We are all like individual trees in a rain forest trying to find our own space and life. Some are strong others are not. But they may be excellent in other aspects of life which the stronger are not. Each one has a role in the health of the forest. Some may bear fruit while others may give out fragrance, yet others may have thornes while there are some which need others for existance. Its unlike that a lonely tree can be a forest nor will it survive for long like in a forest.

Why is this cooperative endeavors important? That's the design of nature. Nature has created it's own rules for the survival of its creations. It has ensured that those who do not fall in line will be edged out of the endeavour by means of alienating the one who do not fall in line by the action of others.
Why should one be alienated? When that one becomes a centre of its own and starts demanding from others. Initially that may be accepted as a need but when it persists and demands keep increasing, the ecological balance is under threat. For the survival, the extra demanding one will have to be edged out to fend it's own.
Why should there be extra demand? When it fails to understand the importance of the cooperative endeavors of others. Meaning when it starts demanding it's needs before and above others. Here the "I ", "my" and "mine" drives the extra demand. This may not be understood by the one demanding it. But when the others are not falling in line and it starts facing alienation or differential treatment, it should be understood that those are the signals of the ecological balance and not of those individual trees. Live and let Live is the rule of the nature.

How to Live and let Live? It's here that I have found its answers in my philosophy. We should learn that 'no man is an island in himself' and everyone wants everyone. No one is expendable. However much that person is not in tune with your views and desires that individual is part of creation and has equal right to exist and express. We have to learn to absorb that comes to us asked or unasked. Accept everything in life as expressions of creation. We are part of the whole and hence cannot see the whole picture. Yes, we may at times feel irritating and regurgitated by those situations, but wisdom in us should overwhelm those emotions brewing in our bosom.

Understand what life is all about to Live and let Live. We are all made of the same stuff called life. We as "we" exist only till the time life exist in each one of us. That time span of existence is miniscule compared to the whole universe. If we look at the universe, we will see that some exhibit life and that those who do not. It does not mean that they are lifeless. They have no organs to express or they are non expressive within the short time span our our cognition. If we had life longer, may be we may see existence of life in the so called inanimate objects of today. So each of those in creation are like the trees of the rain forest. Some with short expression of life and others standing tall for centuries. Its the same soil and water which rejuvenate each molecule of that forest. They share the beauty and fragrance of the forest, may it be a cactus or a rose, a banyan tree or insignificant creeper on one of its branches, they are breath and live the same nature. So are they not in their space right? Their right to exist? Right to express? Right to perish? Just as each one has that right? Then why should anyone of us should expect from the other their space to make mine more comfortable?

The more we understand and accept life in its totality the more peace of mind we will have and will we be in tune with nature and creation. It doesn't mean those moments of irritation and regurgitation will stop, but we will learn how to succeed in such moments.

Only such a person will be at peace with himself and radiating peace around. Others won't be.

Life -as I see it

2013-12-25T18:07:00.000+05:30

We should know what life is first to mange it, isn't? Well most of us have different definitions of it and I should confess that they may be right or wrong, for I am no expert. But I have my own definition and based on that I also have designed my living. I will briefly explain the major points of it. If it will be of help to you also I don't know. Here is how I look at it.

What is life?:

In my opinion life is an endless pursuit for happiness. All our actions are driven by that basic instinct. I have seen this even in almost all normal sentient beings. This pursuit is always in the subconscious mind and prompts us unknowingly for us to undertake daily activities. At the end, of all those actions we undertake, the expectation of reaching a state of fulfillment in the form of happiness is what we expect. If it is in waking state or dream and including deep sleep, we need that at the end.

What is Happiness?

We often have “a definition of happiness” from our past memories and search of validation there. Other than memories of events we have no clue of what a real happiness looks like. We want to posses and accumulate things like wealth, position in job, house, dress, etc the list is endless. What we cannot achieve in waking we try to meet it in dream and be happy about it.

What are we actually doing in the process of accumulation of these so called things of happiness? Are we not trying to 'expand' ourselves by owning or possessing them? From one accomodation we will try for another one too if possible also acquire land, objects, and even objects which can take us in space like car or plane etc. This is because of a basic defect in our perception of things. We think that by having these we will be happy. But never there can we put a full-stop for them. Because they are limited themselves in space. But our urge is to keep continuing that. Which gives the first fact that we want to expand our reach or presence in space. Not as this physical body but as a being our demands are to occupy as much space as possible. But the mistaken identity that we are limited by the body fools us to own and occupy object-related space.

Similarly the other false notion in happiness is the time. We think we want to posses all that the have gathered for maximum time. Including this wrongly defined life. The wrong definition of life is that we are living beings and eventhough from knowledge and experience we are definite that there is death waiting around corner, yet we behave as if we are never going to have that moment of death. Every night, why every night?, in every action of ours we presume that we are going to be there to honor or execute our wishes and commitments. But which moment in life do we want to perpetuate? Childhood, young age, now or old age? We can't define.Yet our subconscious mind is prompting that “I can and want to live for ever”.

So all our actions are an attempt in expanding our spacial extension and perpetrate life for ever. Using a world of impermanence? Nothing in this world can exhibit those qualities existing in them.

So how do we become happy?

Not by what we are doing under the confused state of mind. Either we should expand to occupy the whole space and time as infinity. In other words infinity is also a point which tends from zero to infinity. Hence we should start from that point in time and space, only being in the Now. Because the whole space and time is represented in that Now and expansion of all Now is what is infinity. How do we do that?, will be the question that may come up in your mind. For that first we will have to unlearn what we have been trained by the family and society to redefine our course.

Living in the Now.

This is a terminology you might have heard from the so called management gurus and trainers. But hardly anyone has the real meaning and implications of it built into their modules. They are more of workshops and do not give you the real secrete behind it.

We all are by default either living in the past or expecting the future. Meaning, it is the memories of past lingering in our mind or the anxiety or worries of unknown future haunting us. In the process we miss out what happens now. So to live in the Now you have to do away with past and future. It is easy said than done. Because we are a bundle of impressions of our past. Never can we even define or explain anything without a reference to our past. It can be good or bad. That's immaterial. But we lean so much on them so that we have no real identity without them. Also we have developed opinions based on our past experiences so much that we can hardly see beyond them. Whenever a name is heard we already have a preformed opinion about that without even taking effort to find out if the same has undergone changes over time. This is true to forms too. So in the end we dance as puppets of our memories. These memories are instructors or guiding principles for us to live Now and not “real fresh Now”.

We need to learn to unwind all those impressions in our memory and it needs practice.

The most useful tool in the process is observation and patience. While the observation without referring to the impressions of the past will give us 'freshness to life', it needs lot of patience to be aware of that need to look at things fresh and also not to learn and bring in new impressions. Because these new fresh of this now also becomes past one day. So unless you have patience to practice that aspect of looking “a thing afresh each time every time”, you are getting back to the whirlpool of past again.

Patience is a virtue and also a weapon.

Not all are blessed with this quality of patience. Impatience is actions driven by the needs and past impressions of the situation. One needs to make effort to cultivate it. Over a period it will become a natural habit. Once it starts exhibiting in your behavior, you yourself will feel a strength and power. These are powers getting bestowed on you due to your patience from the nature you are observing. They need time to study your intentions and accommodate you in the whole picture of universe. Once that starts happening your self confidence will also improve. Your outbursts and reactions to events will no more be guided by the past impressions created, but guided by the forces of nature which have attuned with your needs. It will also help you as a weapon from those who are impatient and expose themselves. You will be able to understand those reactions but your patience will give you time, knowledge and calmness to react the best way.

When you have the patience, you can improve your observation of events happening. Your mind won't wander in woolgathering. This will make you live every moment in the Now.

Why should I live in the Now? What way can help me in my problems?

May be these thoughts are worrying you? These are your habit till now. Let us get into why these questions came up and what are the reasons for it. The predominant reason is that you still want to ensure that your happiness of your future is assured, right? But your future is going to be a Now one day and if you have not learned how to live happily in the Now, that moment in future also will a moment of worry of its future. Which means if you handle your Now, every moment, every incident, there is no more 'future' for you to worry about. For that moment in future will be a moment of Now then and you know how to live happily then.

Okay. Teach me as to how to live happily in the Now!!!

Great. Now you are on track. You have understood the road you are travelling is not the one to your chosen destination, but being driven. That is the reason for your unhappiness now. For you have been guided by your past impressions and future anxieties and in the process you messed up your travel.

A bit of information that will help you to understand the process of life, not living. We all have heard “as you sow so you reap”. Everything in life is exactly the same. But that doesn't mean you are a helpless victim of your past. You will become a victim when it befalls on you but do not know how to take it. But if you know how to live in the Now happily, even though those reactions of past may befall on you, at the same time, your knowledge gathered from observation and patience will be the strength with which you will handle them. You will not react the same way you used or would have. But the knowledge makes you smarter to react or not. If you have to react what will be the best way to react and how. By doing this you are reducing the reactive actions of life which will gather strength and befall on you later.

What knowledge is that you will gather? The knowledge that the past cannot be undone and I am in control of the Now which will be the creator of my future.

So you will accept the way things are happening and will look at it not with your impressions from past, but with an impersonate event for which you know how to react.

Your desires will be not for a event or an object of future, for you know they are a product of now and hence you will live in the Now in such a way not worried or anxious of your future, but fullest to the happiness of Now. Only happiness can produce happiness. You wont be sorry for losses, because you know that nothing is everlasting and your control of emotions for the loss will be with the knowledge of that in the back of your mind. May it be the greatest loss in definition. That definition is falling short in measuring the happiness of the Now. So you will acknowledge it but won't be really sad.

Happiness will become your nature. You will spread happiness around and will become the beacon to many who want to learn from you how you could handle the so called ups and downs of life in their definitions.

Be Happy and Living in the Now, you will conquer the world and the happiness of your life.

A birthday ---What it means to me now...

2013-12-09T18:01:00.000+05:30

As a kid and later the thrill of this day visiting once a year was a thing to look forward to and cherish later. As any other I too had my joys and fun of this day until it all was questioned and was asked to look deep into my heart. It all happened on the 10th December 1978. the incident was like this.....

It was one of the chill mornings of the about-to set-in winter of the year 1978. I was attending Vedanta classes in Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai of Swami Chinmayananda. Sivaramji, the personal attendant to Swamiji used to take the morning coffee for Swamiji at around 04:30 to his kutiya. We knew this was the best time of the day when we can catch Gurudev at best of his moods and with less crowd. Which also gives us longer time on a one to one basis.

As usual there were only four of us apart from Swamiji and Sivaramji. I was eager on that day as it was my birthday and wanted Gurudev's blessing as the first thing in the morning. So we were squatting on the floor of his personal office, waiting for Swamiji to come from his chamber and occupy his chair with his beaming smile and penetrating eyes.

As expected Swamiji came and occupied his chair. As he settled himself on the chair. I got up and went up to him, bent on my knees and whispered to Gurudev that I need his blessing as it is my birthday. With his normal raucous laughter, a paradoxical and rhetoric in intention, he asked me " Whose? and then quoted अजो नित्य शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणः.........(Ajo nitya swashwatoyam puranah.....meaning The Unborn, The Eternal, The Everlasting, The Ancient...) I was dumb founded and was shaken by his action. I might have been in that frozen moment for sometime and not realizing what is it all about, while I was looking at his face, he with his smile repeated the same and lifting my chin gave his penetrating look which pierced through me to the bottom of my heart.

I was speechless and bowed to him. At that time he tapped on my head and said "THINK.....THINK.....THINK" ..... and he smiled again.

I sat in his presence for may be an hour or so while he was listing to others and giving advise on their personal questions. I, sitting there was not able to listen any of that was happening, but his words were ringing in my ears, nay, my heart and the whole body was reverberating of those words..

Throughout that day I was moving around trying to get the message of Gurudev and its implication or its relevance to my request for his blessing.

We had regular classes and lecture by Gurudev in the study hall. All through the day I felt as if, when ever I was in his presence, he was looking into me to find out if I had got the message. I was genuine in expressing my haplessness also in my presentation of the caricature I depicted throughout that day. What does the message of Gurudev in the morning mean?? It kept haunting me.

In the evening the temple hall after the aarati we usually have bhajans for sometime and followed by lecture by a Swamiji whoever takes classes or by Gurudev when he is in the hall. This evening was one of those blessed one when Gurudev gifted us with his presence. The bhajans are also truncated by all so that we get more time to listen to Gurudev.

I was sitting on the left side of where Gurudev was sitting and just close enough so that I don't have to crane my neck with pain while looking at Gurudev. To me it felt that my face disclosed its helplessness and Gurudev, when he started his lecture appeared as if he was answering me on one to one even though there were ocean of devotees and students sitting in front of him.

He started saying,.... " When a child is born, we all celebrate his coming to this world......." I knew he was answering my troubled mind. I cannot reproduce the words of the master here for me he was hand-holding and taking me to a world I have no idea about. But those words which mattered me then and what it matters me still are being narrated in my own language here.

What followed the next half an hour was a demystifying experience which transformed me and my way of looking at life in total. Through the reasoning and logic Gurudev held my hand, as if, and took me across the false values and beliefs that made me imagine what I was, to what he wanted me to THINK and realize by his statements of that morning. From the unreal entity he showed my Trueness, from the darkness of ignorance together he flew with me to the abode Light of all Lights and established me in Immortality. How can I then ever even imagine that I have a day to celebrate? I have never ever....

The mundane values of waking are not valid in our dream nor in deep sleep. Since we are so conditioned by family, society etc we cannot think beyond those values. They have no reality other than in our waking world of senses. Just the dream is as valid as a waking state while in dream, our waking state also is absolutely not different from another plane of persistent experiences. No gravity pulls the dreamer when he wants to fly nor the fire of dream burns the one who is in waking. Mind undergoes pangs and inflicts in dream and waking, but we ridicule dream while awake. In the deep sleep he shuts down the entire worlds of experiences and jokes at us by throwing it back to us when we get up. Unable to control these states we fly from one to another as helpless creatures and is unaware as to what will bring an end to our miseries of either waking or dream. To us, like a child to whom the trees move backwards while in a train, life moves through time and we celebrate events. We think time is in motion as we are thrown between the three planes of experiences. The repetition of the cycle of experiences make us feel existence of time. In reality there is no time. Nor the space. If it was a reality it should have held to its values in all realms of experiences of ours. They vary from the waking to dream to deep sleep. Which one can we take it for true? None. A Truth is that One which can never have changes.
The only one I can relate to this value of Truth is my "being" of me. The me has been remaining as me from time immemorial. Me as the body has undergone change and it is no more the same body which can claim to celebrate its birthday. No part of my body is the same today from the six decades it has been experiencing the three states unabated. The mind, intellect etc has accumulated and thrown-out various values and memories. The Earth, the Sun, the Moon none of them are the same. But the Me who witnesses all these changes remain Changeless and because of it I know the changes. I am The Changeless. If I am Changeless, I cannot be having birth or death(अजः- Ajah). The Changeless, hence The Eternal( नित्यः - Nitya). The Changeless hence Ever-Existent( शाश्वतः - Swashwatah). The Changeless without a beginning hence The Ancient ( पुराणः - Puranah)........

Will or Desire from Time immemorial

2011-09-07T22:34:00.000+05:30

Why do we desire?

Well, this question itself may not come to the mind of many to ask this..... as if,... dugh.... you don't know? because I want it so I desire....

Exactly this is where we begin. I have a want and hence I desire, isn't it?Well for your kind information it is not. Read along the following to understand and actualize the desires.

There are two aspects of desire, one being manifest and other of course the un-manifest (of which we cannot commend). For the time being let us keep aside your desire, my desire etc.. and come to the general aspect of the function desire. When did this manifested form of desire begin? or where did it occur first or is there the un-manifest desire becoming manifest at a point of time? many many un-answered secretes....

If we are to go back on the want, to the desire, to the manifested state of which we have knowledge, we need to examine from the object of desire. it can be a material, non material, status, or many of the multifarious demands that we come across.

Psychologically saying we may come across a term “to fulfil a need realised by the mind”. So there is a void or lack of presence felt by the mind and we need to fulfil this to become full? Isn’t not. So the void or lack of presence, is it the cause or is it the state of mind that feels it? Because if it is the lack of presence or void then the achievement of it should permanently obliterate the need for it again. But as we can notice the same object has variable needs felt for us to desire to hate to even run away form the very sight of it. Also form of an intense desire to acceptance and also repetition of it. So this gives us an answer that it is not in the object. I mean the desire do not rest in the object. Is it then the state of the mind? If so then why it keeps changing and have different set of values as “my mind in mine and I know my desires”. Is it true? In order to understand this or explain this we need to know the “my” who may know the answers to the mind’s behaviour and the generation of desires by it.

It has been said that the Primordial Seed “willed” that It may become many and then the whole creation sprung forth. So to desire or will was the first action in creation itself. This was passed on to the entire manifestations and hence there is not a thing which do not exhibit this Primordial Will in its existence. In other words every atom or sub particles thereof is fulfilling this Primordial Will to multiply. Every action therefore is an act to pervade and prevail. To fulfil the Will of that first action. So every created, including the so called man with his intelligence is in that act of fulfilment of the Desire or Will of the Primordial Seed of which every atom is part. Even to this day the Will is being persuaded by that Primordial Seed. Only It knows when to stop or when will that Will get fulfilled.

So in our part the desire is the Will of That Seed of which we are products. By desiring we want to pervade and proliferate, or, better the other way proliferate and pervade. In order to achieve this from the time of birth there are wants that are exhibited by every creation. Common is to any living being, the desires like food, sleep, fear, and procreate. These are common to all living and non living beings. Some we may see and know, while some others with life span that is so much more than that of human life span may not be able to see them like in the nonliving beings like earth , sun and stars etc..

If you look in introspection and unbiased to the desires or wants or needs or Will etc, which we exhibit during our life time is in fact our innate motive to merge or pervade into the objects which we desire. What in between happens is that the identification of our existence to the body, which we start thinking we are, distorts the vision of that Wish to proliferate into an act of possession or amassing. A master in a explanation explains this beautifully saying that “the desire we all exhibit is not for anything but to propitiate that Will of the Primordial Will of which we are also the very part”. Means we love for our own sake and not to satisfy the loved. Our love to anything is to possess, prima phasi, but the underlying urge is to merge with it to become part of us. These Desires or Wills keep shifting as long as we identify with our aging body, from toys of childhood to fling of adolescence, to a love as we mature and then it shifts to more of a need for companion and a support later. Not to mention about the other millions wishes and desires material in nature.

So then to desire is not our fault. Well, it depends. To desire has two view points which is to be understood if we need to master that. Where we feel that we have control over the item desired we have a tendency to show a superiority and look down towards it. Like the desire to have a toy or a home or a garden or a vehicle etc.. We feel that we can “choose” or manipulate the functions of the object to meet the maximum control over it. Such desire are detrimental as our wish or desire is not to accept the way it comes. Even though we may buy or take it but there is an intention to control or modify it to meet more of our desires. This is manipulative and leaves an impression in our subconscious mind that we had a victory or an ego feeling of mastery. As it also leaves similar impression on the object and its subconscious or un-manifested consciousness (in case of non-living) which disturbs the balance of nature of created from pursuing the Primordial Will. If we accept the way it comes, it makes us also happy and the merged creation also goes through the same feeling, then we are generating a universal act of fulfilling. So looking at the question, to desire is it a fault. Well not if you are accepting the things as they are, not otherwise.

Coming back, we all desire or Will not because of anything but as we are products of that Primordial Seed, the Will or desire of which is to become many is exhibited through us. Mal-identification of our existence with the body, which cannot proliferate or permeate, diverts this desire as a manipulated function to overthrow the Will of that Seed of which we are all part. When our Will is in tune with that of the nature or universe, there are unseen forces which also are trying to attain the same Wish or Will colludes with us and increases the potential and satisfaction.

Desire if you wish, but keep this law of the nature or universe or the Primordial Seed or what ever name you want to give, as the guiding principle. There will be no regrets.

Future... the way I see it....

2011-08-15T12:35:00.000+05:30

Future: the way I see it….

Before I start getting into the subject, let me state my assumptions based on which I am writing these words and if they are not in line with anyone else’s, I have no objection and will not matter to me.

· I am also a human being like those who read this and have developed thinking faculty based on the life’s learning which I have acquired over the past half a century. Some of you may be able to think in my lines and others may not, I can not help such readers.

· Humanity, which includes me is only like a moth compared to the life of the cosmos and hence, I do not give much importance to longevity and related ambitions which some of us are harboring in their bosom.

· This humanity also is a much later entrant in this surface of earth and has evolved to think themselves as the controllers of the earth, nay, the cosmos. This is absurd and will be known as I develop my vision below.

· In the time span there are views which are micro in level and progressing into larger frame of expectations or possibilities.

· All living beings, that includes this homo-sapiens too, are basically looking for happiness and state of fulfillment of body mind and intellect. The need of each of them can vary depending up on the level of faculty developments from bodily needs to mental to intellectual. But the basic requirement of food clothing and shelter when ever it is needed by the body it should be available or will search for it.

· As a reader of various inputs I may have scientific, religious, philosophical, fictional influences, which may reflect some of my views. I have not given much importance to day to day science and technology, semantic religions and science fictions as they are only in the developing stages to see futuristic views.

· Last but least, these are my own views.

Today: As I see the present world is a micro view and is easy to explain from that view, when compared to the time existence is and will be for future. So let me visualize some of the near so future possibilities and likely hood of events that can control not only during my life span, but also for may be a few centuries to come following it.

From the time the Scientific inventions started interfering with the functioning of the live of, not only human beings but also others interrelated to human existence, all present day inhabitants, there has been a force driving it towards more and more of commercial needs and defining of profitability as the basic need. This is even seen in the so called management gurus who evaluate life in the terms of success and failure. Not to say about the scientific psychologists, who drill in the mind of their patients various notions under their assumptions that the insecurity and schizophrenias are a resultant behavior due to lack of security arising out of finance and that has driven to a wrong judgment of lack of possessions and hence the symptoms. Never could they link even one case that there is a basic insecurity arising out of mind as a threat to existence itself.

Even the world bodies existing and extinct are and were victims of this “value” based politics which nations play. Like any child’s play, the one with a better toy is always admired, even the UN admires only those nations which has better equipments and who can flex them. Not to listen to others whose members may be suffering in the hands of their rulers, but has no toys to flaunt, like the oil, nuclear or mineral wealth etc. Even without concurrence the big boys conquer and other pleasingly ignore. While where it is needed it is not deployed and conveniently forgotten or ignored. These will one day give rise to the collapse of the UN. As the big boys will have no steam in them and would have become bankrupts or toothless tigers. Chaos will rule the world and fight for scares commodities of food clothing and shelter will be the much sought after commodities not nuclear weapons or super computers. For they wont meet the basic needs for survival. Oil after its deplete from the present countries, will be left as concrete jungles for dust and vultures to inhabit. The last of the traces will be in the oil sands of Canada. Nuclear fuel will be in use for mass transportations and sea voyages as aircrafts carrying them will be seen as potential warheads and hence not deployed. As humanity starts doubting humanity, there will be scheming and politics which will define relations of nations. More and more nations will shake hands with food generating nations and the oil producing ones will not be even needed to be around.

More inhabitation will move towards the equator for want for fertile lands and fresh water. Water of other parts will become poisonous and unpalatable. Countries like India, African nations and central American nations will be crowded and there will be food shortage. Rain water harvesting tanks will become like the septic tank requirements of constructions. Either the nations like India and China will collaborate of they need to survive or China can occupy the southern nations for want of food security. They will occupy the nations and convert the farm lands to larger areas from the current small ownerships for more production. This may be also driven by the lack of people who knows agriculture due to the technological push that is going on now leaving older citizens with agricultural land and no interested parties to carry out farming. There will be more computer specialists than farmers, more engineers and doctors than labourers in the farming lands. More computer malls than farm out put markets. More pathological labs than agricultural labs. All these will create a shortage in the basic necessities of humanity.

Humanity will move to abandon technical developments for food security and basic needs. They may be even willing to move into man-made caves and shun clothing for want of food. No amount of technology will replace the availability of land for basic cultivation and the carcinogen generation and subsequent pollution will further shrink the available cultivable land. Technology will push for GMO food to meet the needs and also increase the physically challenged in the per capita of each nation. This will make humanity more insensitive and selfish for survival resulting in termination of children with spastic potential, as they become unwanted and a burden to rest of them fighting for survival.

Many of the natures recyclers will cease to exist due to the insensitive habits of humanity. Many species will become extinct to even remember their names.

Humanity may find life patterns existing on other planets and will attempt to communicate thinking that the basic communication patterns are similar to human’s, While those who receive them will resort to self-defence and thwart a potential onslaught from humanity. Where in there can be a colossal loss of life on planet earth.

Humanity has looked to cosmos and declared the beginning of the world as a result of a big bang. All these from their kaleidoscopic view of the universe. They are limited with the five sense organs and their extensions by way of instrumentations. They can only visualize on the three dimensions and any addition to it cannot be fathomed and defined as there is lack of faculty to define them. The definition that there is only vacuum and nothing in it, in itself a wrong statement, as nothing cannot exist and hence there has to be something. The very statement that there is nothing is an affirmation of an existence. But incapability to explain it is easily explained as a term vacuum. What is that existing between two planets or the sun and the other planets? Not air but anti-mater, there is this something which is yet to be in the measureable terms for humanity and the rockets are able to thrust on it and light is able to travel. Newton’s third law may be the explanation but the fact of it is that there is nowhere in the cosmos that there is nothing.

As the time space expands in human terms it is actually in a process of continuous flex and the kaleidoscopic view of humanity feels it is expanding. This flex throws many opportunities and threats to our existence. While the opportunities may look tempting the threats are more imminent. Like the asteroidal impact or a black hole sucking us into it or even for that matter a giant plant with gravitational force four million times of the solar system spins the entire solar system into a deferent pattern and also sucks out the surface water and air from the planet earth to a deferent plant.

There the evolutions may begin again when the conditions on that planet is ripe for it. Many may lie as the frogs in the rock type for ages before coming out and living.

This cycle will keep happening, like the moths in rain, we humanity also will get a chance again.

There is no Big Bang

2011-05-16T06:17:00.000+05:30

I can surely say that there was never a big bang and all theories related to it.

The reasons being:

1. Time is the basic assumption on which the theory exists. i.e. there is a beginning of time. Let me say that just a the five sensory limitations and related narrow vision/experience of the world of existence, man has the concept of time unique to his brain. The experience of time in itself varies for each one and at different moments of experience.

2. We extend the concept of time of ours to be acceptable to every thing known to us. i.e What we have defined as time like minutes, hour, day etc...etc.. including the time space co-joint factor of light years etc.. what is our day is not the same for other beings, what is our lifespan is not the same for other beings.

3. Even in human beings we do not have the effect of time and its knowledge till the thoughts are formed and the faculty of remembering becomes crystallised. as a baby even if we are alive we do not have time as a factor that controls us. It has more to do with biological necessities rather the physical clock.

4. The universe again what we call it today is an experience in continuum and never a beginning and never an end. Only our experience has a beginning and an end or limitations what ever one would like to call it.

It will be foolish to say that there is no time concept for metals and minerals, air and water, planets and stars. They too have the concept of time as they also go through the patterns of change. Every change is in time. But the measure what is for humans are not the same for other existing objects. Even thoughts have existence in time only as an experience. The measure of that time is different from the clock. So can a theory like Big Bang exist as it is a concept in mind and cannot be verified by reversing the experience of mind? Even if the argument of it did happen then there has to be something that exploded in time and there for time and that thing existed before the Bang??

My introspections
I'm quite sure that all off us are made out of the same stuff or made of the same process of creation.
Whatever we perceive around us I find a commonality and this can't happen as a coincidence.
We get related to each of these in our own ways. But there is this interconnection which is nothing but the fact that we are all interconnected with the basic stuff of which we all are made of.
Our perception can carry our views based on our impression we developed over our experiences accumulated. That's like the expressions of five blind men explaining the elephant. Unless we see the whole picture without blind spots, one can't appreciate this aspect.

Mastering "Time"

2010-08-25T20:00:00.000+05:30

We need to understand how things are affecting our life and how we respond to know how to be master of our own destiny or future.
Earlier we noted that time has an unparallel control on us. Do you know that time as we know it is a linear function and to monitor it we defined it to the solar movements and our biological effects by the solar movements.
But the true “Time” which we need to understand is a complex and a function of n, where n= our input factors, which again varies from the inputs of our senses and the effect of desires on the perception of those sense assimilations. Here I am not talking about the 24 hour day etc., the time we generally know, we should keep this in mind.
A simple example which I narrated in my earlier section about the exam effect on the student or the one who takes it, clearly shows the effect of the one of the various factors belonging to “n”. As n tends to infinity we reach a state of delusion or madness and result in uncontrolled mental agony. Imagine where all the workload and chores of a home maker or an assistant in an office is loaded more and more with newer demands while the earlier ones remain unfulfilled? Or in our own case let the unending desires play prank on us everyday to design the daily life with increased demands day after day. Can you see the factor n having a tendency to go to infinity will take us where? We all will be left with no ”time” for anything. It is, what we want in 24 hours have gone up, but we are unable to expand the availability to create or utilize the 24 hour for meeting all those variants. While this being the effect of our 24hour time, can we swim and see the effect of it is not really affecting us if only and only we know and understand the aspect of time and how to be a master of it?
To begin that journey we need to “LET GO” the controlling factors belonging to the n variants. It may look impossible but we do it day in and day out without knowing that we did it and we can do it.
In our peregrination from childhood to the later stages we had done the 'let-go' many-a- times otherwise we would not have left our childhood desires and belongings. We also know that the let-go effect is going to be there later too, but we deny that we can let go things to be masters. We can’t let-go our habits, we can’t let-go our belongings, we can’t let-go anything to which we cling as if without them I am nothing. But “time” will take them away one day or other. It is that “time” I am referring to here for us to be master of. So before it is forced on us why not we surpass that moment in life so that we have gone farther in time to be masters of it? Can we do it? Why not? To be a master of your own one need to do it.

Time Again

2010-08-09T21:07:00.000+05:30

Once we understand the concept of time and decipher the conditions it puts on our day-to-day activities, which are guided by our planning and verification while executing , both triggered by the thoughts that precede or follow it, we will be able to really get control of the "true time" that we need to know.

How do we do that?

Well, to do that we first of all we need to release ourselves from the conditions that the so called time controls in us in today’s life. What are they? If we were to do an analysis of things and time, we will find that almost every living moment of ours is managed or controlled by the so called time which we think we know.

But seldom we allow us to take control of it and manage it so that we can manage it better for our real need. And what is that? For answering this we need to know first "why do we do what we do"?

Many us even dare not think about it, for we are so scared that it will open up a Pandora box of new problems and we will be in a deluge of problem apart from that are already being fought every day.

No. it is not true. Actually it is this fear that keeps us form even attempting to find out “why we do what we do?” Fear is primordial and it keeps us busy away from finding alternatives and only those who have taken courage to challenge fear have really taken the right step in the right direction.

When I say fear, I do not exclude any fear. It can be in any form. From fear of death to fear of fear itself. All forms of fear drive us away from taking conscious bold steps in finding out the cause or the purpose of life, which I termed above as “why we do what we do”

We often carry out many routine chores while our thoughts are in a different plane and on objects. These actions are not done with any involvement and like a robot we carry them out. On such occasions we do a perfect job by sheer practice or less complexity of it. But have you noticed actions like breathing, sneezing, blinking, etc, do not even exist in our memory unless it was linked with another act or event of importance. But we never ask ourselves why am I breathing or blinking etc? do we? But any other act where we need to involve and expect a “result”, we are scared or are careful. For the results control our thoughts and through them the actions. And invariably we are in a state of fear, fear of failure. This is because the result is more important than the action. Even though we all know that it is the action that controls the result but , fear of failure and the result thereof controls our action.

Fear of failure is again driven by two factors, time to complete and how we do it. While we may know how to do it, mostly it is the factor of “time” which plays an important factor and the decisive factor of success or failure. We internally fear that we may be able to complete it and the way want to complete it. This pressure works during examination and most fail not because they never know the answer but they lost ”time” due to fear and could not complete the full requirement.

While how we do it, is basic dexterity and this depends on the practice one puts in. But the real controlling factor on the spot performance is not dexterity but knowing the “Time” and its influence on our actions. For this we need to think and understand the concept of “time” and how to mange or take control of it so that we master our actions.

This we will discuss in detail step by step in the following days.

Time -.- 2

Well when we start our wild goose chase, I said we need to start from some point of reference. So where do we start and "when" do we start? The when has relevance only if we fix where. For the time we all know is space bound. Can you specify time without reference to space? You may "at 13.00 hrs GMT" which means it is specific to GMT or any other reference to the space on the surface of earth. Now imagine if you are in space and how will you refer to time if given a choice. Not guided by NASA or any controlling authority? Will you still like to refer to GMT etc? Once I wrote to my daughter

"Time is relative. you calculate it in relation with the motion of sun and earth and your biological settings, again related to the day and night created by the same sun and earth.

Once you are in space the time has different meaning. But your body needs it relative to the biological measurement method. Again here the body forces you to redefine the measure of time in relation to your limited capability to measure it with your biological settings.

Imagine the situation where you have reset your biological requirements of rest and activity to a new measure then in a space where there is no day and night, then your measure of time can be infinite. Hence to expand time delimit your biological needs through mental potentials and you will see the time melts in the process and merges with space and when you stop seeing the space but start being in it or one with it the truth will dawn that the time you set now is a part of the infinite space/time and you are the space which is infinity, but by identifying with the biological limitations you limit the time."

Don't you think we need to think about these and redefine our definition of time?

Still want to do the wild goose chase?........

Time

2009-11-28T18:19:00.001+05:30

It is often mistaken that we have an idea about time. The time we normally declare to be understood is the period represented in the terms of orbital measure of sun and earth. This of course is of importance to day to day life but is it the beginning and end of it?

I suppose not. For the sun and the moon and the stars existed and become extinct in time so time was before the sun and the moon. There is also our inability to measure the cosmos or the whole universe with time and space. Where do time and space then exist? Are they mere imaginary products of our thought? If so where do we exist and our thoughts? Are we conveniently trying to put behind the facts that they are beyond imagination and hence do not have to waste "time" on it?

To me for the process of analysis into the facts of time, we need to start from a point of reference and then begin to verify or find out the true time and then check if the point of reference itself has any validity. I need to go for the wild goose chase of time to know that.

Come and join me for the wild goose chase of time in time…….
