“I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient.. It knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and Eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously.” - [Physicist Erwin Schrodinger, Nobel Prize Winner of 1933 in Physics]
Knowing less, we suffer
more. Hence, before one ponders over good and evil, it is essential we know
what existence or reality is.
Most isms, including today’s
“rock star” ism of science, are unable to conceive “god-particle” of existence beyond a couple of
thousand to few billions years. Both are wrong.
Science is not god. And,
god is not science.
The Ultimate Reality is
inconceivable to limited minds. Confined to man-mind-made realities, fundamentalists
of religion or science-ism believe in things blindly or conceive “things”
boldly, but badly. Today’s science limits itself to some bang; yesterday’s isms
of religion on their books hang. Mystic Reality is much, much more than a tiny
“big bang” or some little religious thong.
Yogis, free mystics “see”
The Ultimate Reality unlimitedly.
In “Samadhi” - Sameness as
the (Eternal) Aim (Primordial Reality) - The Observer and The Observed are “physically”
One. In this “physicality”, yogis report
“seeing” The Whole as One “I”-ness. “There”, in Original Source Reality of
Everything, in Godliness as if; each and everything - Seer and Seen – is
Own-ness. There’s neither one-two; nor many. Each and All, is “seen” as The
Self of The Whole.
"We ought not even to say that he will see, but he will be that which he sees, if indeed it
is possible any longer to distinguish between seer and seen, and not boldly to
affirm that the two are one.” - [Plotinus,
206-270A.D., Greek Philosopher]
Therefore, blaming neither
science nor spirituality, or mankind and god; we need to have an integrated
view of life. In simple words, what we see happening “here”, though of concern
to any sensitive soul, must not trouble much a wise mind. For, in “there” - The
Ultimate Reality of Existence – all “this” is but a chimera.
“This
life of yours which you are living is not merely a piece of this entire
existence, but in a certain sense the whole;
only this whole is not so constituted that it can be surveyed in one single
glance. This, as we know, is what the
Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula which is yet really so simple
and so clear – “Tat Tvum Asi” – THIS is YOU. Or, again, in such words
as "I am in the east and the west, I am above and below, I am this entire
world.” Thus,
spoke Schrodinger, the Nobel Physicist – colleague and contemporary of Albert
Einstein.
And, as quoted in The Eye of Shiva: Eastern Mysticism and
Science (1981) by Amaury de Riencourt; the physicist explained Reality –
“The
multiplicity is only apparent.. The mystical experience of The Union with
God regularly leads to this view, unless strong prejudices stand in the way.”
Hence, waves play with
“own”-self of other waves - in water-self. As does storm with own air-self.
Similarly, in “this” life we call our world, life-forms inter-act with each
other; in a “stormy” or selfless way; with love or love-less nay. Yet, it’s all
a play. Good or bad, evil or ugly – yet! It is Illusory.
So - Behold! This! -
life’s illusion. Live and let live - let go! Delusion.
