ls workshop) GLIMPSES IN REALITY………36
For most of the learned, it is not clear as to what spirituality is, and why should anyone make any endeavor to know it! This word has been tarnished so much that evens its very mention in the modern social circle, creates revulsion.
Who amongst the scholars, laymen or devils, wouldn’t want to know about the secrets of birth and death? Who wouldn’t try to overcome the fear of death, and find some way out, to escape from it? But to escape from the clutches of death, there is only one way and that is to escape from birth! If there is no birth, there is no death. It is a negative hypothesis, though as who wouldn’t want to be born! If there is no birth, there is no ‘being’, and there is no world even. There is birth, because there is life. If there is life, there is a variety of life: This universe, the moving cosmos and their final annihilation too. One can conquer anything in this ephemeral world, but not death. There have been great conquerors, warriors, sages and Godmen and the Avathaars, but none escaped death!
So for as death is concerned, no theory coming from any celestial source, has been of any solace! Because death is not a hypothetical theory, belonging to any caste, creed, religion or region! It is the eternal terminator. It annihilates everything, anything that permeates in the Creation. Even subtle particles are not safe from its invisible tentacles. All religions and their classic theories are, merely, trying to mitigate the pain of its final sting. Even their creators were its prey! Then how could they preach about a ‘Thing’ (The final Terminator), which did not spare them even! No body can offer solution of a problem, whose prey they themselves are! As nobody has conquered so far or has come out of it alive, so nobody is qualified to tender advice or offer escape routes from its inexorable clutches. It is so obvious; no proof is needed for its authenticity. No Manthar, formula or a secret code is required to overcome this impending ‘event’.
It is an act of physical termination of body, which sustains on invisible substances, such as, life-current (conscious+energy) and its allied elements. After going through endless permutations, Nature has been able to plant ‘human’ on planet earth. Would scientist be able to create replicate of the Original-Seed (Particle), which will, automatically, set in motion evolutionary cycle and create a parallel Nature? We can wishfully hope so! This ‘model-creation’ would be the creation of human mind---as each invention has at its back, an inventor and his intelligence. Every scientific theory, formula or equation is the off-shoot of a brain/mind: intelligence being the base---the source of human ingenuity. But human intelligence, besides being very limited, is solely dependent on Nature. All kinds of inventions and discoveries are the result of the understanding (being aware) of Nature’s principles. Whatever Nature has revealed so far is our ‘intelligence’. Nature and its Intelligence---its creational Principle---if ever it be possible to realize it, would be a mirage for human intelligence! Because like Nature, human beings too are the products of a third ‘agency’! Nature as it is made to understand---is its own cause. How very convenient to accept this proposition, but difficult to digest. Without conscious, Nature is gross. Without conscious, it is as good as dead mass. There has to be a Super-Cause, behind the ‘cause’ of Creation. Had Creation been Absolute---then it is easy to understand its Eternal nature. But it is not so! Creation is ephemeral, phenomenal; it is ever changing, so it is not Absolute. What seems to be eternal, unchanging, is the Principle that makes it create-sustain and dissolute. That Principle has to be known, discovered and replicated, so as to establish the suzerainty of the human mind over matter. A mind boggling proposition! No?
Human beings have the ingredients which make him empowered to unravel these secrets: As he is born with these traits, which are the cause of Creation! Hypothetical! No, again!
