The Ultimate Truth : Facts & Fiction ( Part IV )

For continuity read earlier parts:

It makes a very interesting and exciting study to assess the position of man in this universe.  Viewed from the casual day to day perspective man is an insignificant entity  in the universe and by all means he is a very weak, insecure and helpless creature, notwithstanding the boastful exhibition of the physical strength by some vis a vis persons of average physical and mental strength. But the ultimate unceremonious end of such boastful persons like Alexander, Hitler and Mussolini further confirms the feeble and puny existence of man in this universe.But all this relates only to the physical aspect of man.

Fortunately man is endowed with some faculties ( some call it God's gift and nobody knows to the satisfaction of all what,where, or who God is )of metaphysical aspect : soul, mind, memory, imagination,,consciousness,awareness, etc. that make man stand out as a unique favored creature. It is this man that we are interested in.

In physical terms a man is not more than a molecule, an atom or an organic cell of the whole universe. But when we consider this smallest part in terms of an integral and inseparable unit of the Infinity, an altogether different picture about the stature of man emerges. In Part III of this blog the concept of Infinity was discussed in detail and in the light of that discussion the following characteristics of Infinity are worth noting :-

( I ) The concept of Infinity can be used with respect to Universe or Divinity only.
      To this extent Infinity and Divinity are synonyms.

( II ) In terms of size, shape,form,magnitude, Infinity is beyond all possible stretches.      
       of human mind and imagination.

( III ) Infinity defies all arithmetical calculations of addition, subtraction , division and
         Multiplication.

And above all:

A part of the Infinity is also INFINITE.

It is here that man acquires a stature that gives him the potential of INFINITE, and scope to transcend his tininess . Thus joined to his root man is Infinity/Divinity and separated he is an insignificant dead cell or atom of no consequence.

When talking about the ultimate truth we can't afford to miss three terms in particular: God, Divinity and Infinity.let us first look at the term infinity. In simple language it means: endless, without beginning, without end. But to a mathematician it means a lot more and he fails to apply his regular calculations and formulas to the concept of infinity. For example you cannot add anything to infinity and you cannot deduct anything from It. Similarly you cannot divide or multiply infinity to any number. In all these cases the result will invariably be infinity. Man cannot imagine the application of the concept of infinity to any other field other than the universe or at the most imaginary concept of counting from 1 to infinity, which too practically is an impossibility. Not only that, the mathematicians have hit upon another corollary I.e. the fractional numbers between any two whole numbers ,let us say 2 and 3,is also infinite. In the domain of infinity a curve no longer remains a curve and it coincides with a straight line, which again does not appeal to the human mind that cannot fully comprehend the concept of infinity. All calculations involving infinity are beyond the scope of man. We may tell, to some extent, the shape size and weight of some heavenly bodies but no scientist can tell the number of these heavenly bodies. Nobody knows whether the dome that encompasses the infinite heavenly bodies is round , square, rectangular, cubicle or anything other than all this. These facts alone are enough to show the helplessness of all scientists and knowledgeable persons of the world. So the poor fellows leave answers to such questions to be handled by some super power, which man calls Almighty or God.

Each one us is an integral and inseparable part of the Divinity/Infinity. We don't have any separate existence. In fact separated from our root we can't exist all. Because of our ignorance of the inner world each one of us some times gets the wrong impression of being a separate entity, but it is not so. The realization of this relationship of the individual with Divinity/Infinity is the end of our search for self and God.

It is interesting to imagine what the world was like when man was in the earliest stage of evolution. He was like any other animal fighting for his survival on a level ground but after the evolution he has come to occupy an exclusive and higher pedestal in Animal Kingdom as a Thinking and Social Animal. This thinking of man has bifurcated his existence into two aspects: physical and metaphysical, and has opened up new vistas of living at a higher plane not accessible to other animals for the time being.

 

As of today existence in this universe from the view point of man has two sides: Internal or Inner and External or Outer.

 

Further the external existence manifests itself in the physical world and the internal or inner existence is metaphysical or abstract. Apparently these two terms appear to be quite apart but closer examination shows that there is a very thin line separating the two.This is mainly because of the universal law of antithesis.

 

According to the law of antithesis, nothing can exist in isolation, existence needs to be supported by something antithetical: heat-cold, light-darkness,truth-falsehood, love-hate and so on, non of these pairs can exist separated from the other. Thus physical and metaphysical are also inseparable and always co-exist.

 

Exploration of the inner world with the help of consciousness and awareness assisted by mindprovides various visions and insights of the vast physical universe and its functioning, which are well nigh impossible to comprehend with the help of intelligence, logic and reasoning. At the ultimate level of understanding the universe most tools  available to man such as intelligence and logic fail and he has to depend on Divine or Godly intervention, hence the need for unknown and invisible power that has been named God by man. In this sense man is the creator of God:

 

GOD is not the Creator of man

It is the other way round

Man has created GOD

To serve his selfish ends

The Ultimate Truth : Facts & Fiction
Part I

The ultimate truth about this universe is that it is packed to the capacity. Nothing ,can be added to it and nothing can be taken out of it. It is infinite, it has no beginning and no end. Except this phenomenon of universe man can not imagine anything without beginning or end and he knows no reason how and why this universe can be beginningless and endless.It is fully insulated from any outside influences or intrusions Every movement in it is highly disciplined and regulated. In fact there is nothing outside it..Nothing new comes up here except change ,transmutation and transformation of that is already there. There is no BIRTH and no DEATH in this universe, only change of material shapes and forms and different permutations and combinations of non-material aspects, such as, soul, consciousness, brain, mind, memory, ego, intellect, etc. Thus the law of change and transformation applies to every aspect - abstract and concrete.. No new thoughts, ideas or philosophies. Everything has always been there and will be there.These basic characteristics of the universe are beyond human mind, intelligence or logicThis fact has already been accepted by the scientists in the principle that nothing can be created and nothing can be destroyed. In the absence of answers related to these mysteries of the universe GOD comes in handy to be the cause of all that cannot be understood or explained by the human mind. According to the law of antithesis nothing can exist in isolation without its antithetical aspect, not even GOD, so there is DEVIL to authenticate the existence of GOD.That way I am not presenting any new idea, what I am trying to do is to explore the implications of some unexplainable and enigmatic divine facts and that too from my own view point.

Who Needs God?

Who needs God?

A vast majority of the seven billion population of the world does not know what/who God is, where He lives ,what His relationship with the world is, particularly human beings, what  He expects from human beings, etc. Their sole objective is existence or survival. They remain so much occupied with the provision of food, shelter and other wherewithal for themselves and for those dependent on them that they are left with neither time nor energy to think beyond the sustenance of their bodies or so to say beyond keeping their bodies and souls together.

The religious leadership in the areas falling within their respective jurisdiction feeds the people around them about various myths about the universe, its creation by God and His ultimate authority to control and manage whatever is happening in this universe. The poor masses have no choice but to believe what they have been told. They are calculatively turned into fatalists i.e believers in fate so that they blame fate, chance or God for the misfortunes befalling them and not the actual culprits who have devised social, political and religious systems to cater to their selfish ulterior motives and deprive the masses of their legitimate due. They don't have time ,resources and capabilities of probing into information that has been passed on to them by the vested interests.

 It is the common interest of the religious leaders, political bigwigs and the rich people to keep the masses at the minimum survival level so that the natural resources and the secondary production resulting from these resources is hoarded, controlled and used lavishly by the chosen privileged few.It is the upper creamy layer from different sections of society that gets time to think beyond the existential level and toy with the luxurious i ideas of God, Soul, Consciousness, Spirituality, etc. The common masses are in the grip of GHOSTS of hunger, poverty and disease, and there is no God for them. It is the common interest of the upper few to keep the starving billions desensitized in a state of dizziness and helplessness. This upper creamy layer needs and seeks God through the middle class to save them from the wrath of masses, which when erupts will not be controlled by even God, whom they are so sure and proud of. The middle class is caught precariously between the poor and the privileged, who because of the existential dilemma have lost their sanity and power of independent thinking/ introspection.

In fact only middle class needs GOD, neither the privileged nor the poor.

We shall separately study the significance and interpretation of the dreams, our concern for the time being is the cleansing of the mind and reorganizing it for meditation leading to self realization and God realization. It is said that diamond cuts diamond. The same principle is applicable to the mind, it requires a kind of self cleansing. One very effective and long lasting method is self analysis including
dream analysis and gradually increasing the level of consciousness and awareness.

We all dream and pass off this activity of our life as "nothing important" and forget that these dreams are the pointers to our present state of affairs and also a foreboding of the coming troubles. Let us first of all try to understand what a dream is. A dream is an enactment of some probable event or incident likely to happen on the basis of information and data available in the store house of mind. Secondly, these dreams enact the fulfillment of certain unfulfilled desires.A hungry man dreams of foods,feasts and delicacies. The romantic dreams of the youth is a very common phenomenon. Dreams are no doubt the creation of our mind when we are in a state of semi sleep. We don't dream when fast asleep. Dreamless sound sleep is a sign of healthy body and healthy mind. Dreams tell us about the content in mind and it's nature. We can call dreams advance home work done by the mind or its preparedness before some difficult to handle situation arises.

Our mind is always processing the data and information stored in it. It tries to draw conclusions about forthcoming events and happenings on the basis of information stored in our unconscious, sub conscious and conscious mind. Various possibilities and probabilities of our present state of affairs and forthcoming events manifest themselves in dreams. Needless to say that dream analysis can provide answers to our numerous questions/riddles and save us from forthcoming dangers.
For the time being it is more than enough to understand that excessive dreams are an indication of the chaos in mind, and the illogical sequences and complexities of the dreams tell about the seriousness and intensity of the problem. Meditation, self realization or God realization under such conditions is not possible.
 The content of the blog has exceeded far beyond what I originally planned. Before the readers become weary I would like to wind it up by briefly suggesting that cleansing of the mind is possible through self analysis, increased level of consciousness and awareness, thorough probing of the subconscious mind, dream analysis and interpretations, preparing a written list of the thoughts stuck in the mind and effort to prioritize and organize them. Detailed discussion about these processes will be taken up later.
