Lrod Shiva - OM NAMAH SHIVAY

[MAYURDAVE 0]

In early days the Fire was the most helping natural element to humankind. Fire is the element that cooks our food when it is inside the wood. The fire digests the food when it is in our stomach. The Fire in the form of Sun sets under the sea and comes out of the sea in the morning to see that creatures take rest and are survived. Fire produces wind and vibrations in air and water and matters. Fire takes all offerings which are submitted to it. Fire accepts all these offerings and takes them to the other natural elements for their survival. The Fire appears from unknown world. Fire takes whatsoever inside it gets disappear that goes to unknown world. Therefore the Fire is the supreme of all natural elements. Fire is the matter and fire is the energy. Therefore Fire must have come out from the God, or God has come to the cosmos in the form of Fire. Cosmos itself is the form of Fire. We do not know the God. To know the God is beyond our capacity. We see the Fire that has come out of the God.

God has no cause. God is the cause of all. God is beyond experience through any limb of our body. God cannot be described. The God is auspicious, propitious, gracious, benevolent, kind …etc.. that is why he is known as SHIVAH. He has full control. That is why he is ISHAH and ISHVARAH. He is the ultimate controller that is why he is PARAMESHVAR. (ISHAH=Ruler, controller. ISHVARAH = Controller of the Controllers. PARAMESHVARA=Ultimate controller. You may put ruler, king as well).

Since the Fire is spread all over the world and the world itself is made of Fire, the Fire is termed as VISHVA-MURTI (VISHVA=Cosmos. MURTI=Body). The name of the Fire is RUDRA, because at first sight it appears harsh. RUDRA’s body is made of fire. Rudra is the VISHVA-MURTI. He has thousands of heads, thousands of eyes, thousands of mouths, thousands of hands, thousands of abdomens, thousands of legs. He produced Teachers/preachers from his head. He produced traders and producers from his abdomen, he produced laborers from legs, he produced kings from his arms, he produced moon from his mind, he produced suns from his eyes, he produced fire from his mouth, he produced stellar constellation from his nucleus …. All these means that Cosmos is a living organism. As we have different organs and limbs to feel and to work, the Cosmos has the mass characteristic for feeling and mass working.

We live outside our body. Cosmos live inside the body. We are greater than any of the living cell of our body. A living cell of our body say a cell of our brain or a cell of our blood if thinks about itself that it is an intellect and the body where it resides if it further thinks is a non-living human body, we would simply smile. Similarly if we who are one of the very tiny cell of Cosmos if think we are quite intellect and the cosmos is a non-living organism then Cosmic God RUDRA would smile only.

Similar is the case with Sun and Earth and all other celestial bodies.

In fact fault lies with human. Who first collects things which are known to him as living? Then he works out the common characteristic. Then he defines living organism. This is basically false. The definition of a living organism is that maintains its uniqueness/one-ness. The human maintains its body which is one, for nearly 100 years. During this period he is able to sense, act and feel his existence. Once he looses these characteristics, the body starts decaying. The body gets destroyed even if the body is not offered to fire or grave. Whereas look at the Sun. The Sun is maintaining its uniqueness/one-ness since billions of years. Our body’s binding energy is our all living cells like blood-cells, nerve-cells, bone-cells, skin-cells etc… and a continuous flow of blood, air, electrical currents and heat current. Similar is the case with mother earth. She too has air cycle, water-cycle, gravitation, electro-magnetic cycle and a further biological cycle between vegetation and animals which keep the earth unique. Human feels his existence. But he denies to except that the earth too can feel her existence. In fact the proof of feeling the own existence is only the definition of living organism. Only an organism itself can spell out the truth for its own self and no one else can spell. The mass feeling of the creatures and mass-desire of creatures is the feeling of the mother earth. Human body takes birth and gets vanished but the mother earth remains alive because of her cycles of energies. Similar is the case with SUN. Therefore it is for the COSMOS. The cosmos is complete in its self. Therefore it is termed as “ANIRVACHANIYA” i.e. it cannot be described through words in total. In the Cosmos, the feeling is illusion. Time is not flowing uniform. In the upper level worlds the time flows very slow depending upon its level.

God is SAT. SAT does not under go any change. SAT remains unchanged and for all the time. As such SAT is independent of time, mass and space. GOD is SAT. SAT is absolute. SAT can be only one and only one. There cannot be two SAT. SAT is the ultimate goal of all souls. Similar is the case with SOUL. SOUL is like the space inside an earthen pot covered by a lid. Space is same outside the pot and inside the pot. When lid is taken out, the space inside the pot appears to have been the same that of out side the pot. To open out the lid is to see the GOD through knowledge. Lid is the limitation what have been created by us with desires which are illusive and purely temporary. Who knows the field of reality he opens out the lid which separates the soul from the supreme soul i.e. GOD (SHIVAH). The lid is also known as the cover made of GOLD. GOLD is a symbol of temporary happiness that is the earthen amenities we enjoy with in the world without caring for others that do not come with us when we leave the body. The earthen pot is our body. The body is changing from small to big and from weak to strong and from healthy to disabled. Body is ASAT (A=non, SAT=eternal). The SOUL is not affected by heat. The SOUL does not become wet with water. The SOUL does not blow away by the wind. The SOUL does not dried up by any means. The SOUL acquires only status if its body has acquired any knowledge. The SOUL is not the body. It is different of the body. All the SOULS whether they are in vegetations, fishes, reptiles, mammals or whatsoever are the part of the same supreme soul separated by bodies and ignorance. As the SOUL achieves the knowledge through body the soul comes nearer to the supreme soul. The knowledge can be achieved through good work for all creatures and performing duties to maintain the cosmic society. There are other ways also depicted in the Hindu philosophy. The others are YOGA and BHAKTI (YOGA=exercise of breathing and concentration towards your own SOUL. BHAKTI=devotion to GOD with pious works as entrusted by the society or one has agreed upon.)

The first principal of the philosophy is that whosoever undergoes changes has the birth and has the death. In the Cosmos everything undergoes changes. Hence each of the things has beginning and end. This supports the theory of BIGBANG of the COSMOS. Why SHIVA has created the COSMOS and other divine elements like Fire, GAS, Solid, Liquid, Soul, Cosmos etc… No reply for this. Because GOD is the cause of all. God has no cause.

What happens to the SOUL after the death of its body?

Depending upon its knowledge and work it occupies a new body. The last body is the human body. If a SOUL fails to perform good and pious work the SOUL goes to a creature of lower level. If the SOUL has acquired good knowledge but not enough to achieve the GOD, it will start from the stage where it has finished in previous body. There is no haven and no hell. Everything is limited to the COSMOS. There is no ghost and no dream that has no separate entity than the real life. i.e. Ghost does not exist at all. As for the dreams, it is the reflection of what we have experienced and thought when we are in real life i.e. when we are conscious. Nothing else is true. What is true is to develop the thinking on the same line. The God helps out of way some body, is also a mischievous belief. God has to be much greater than politicians and therefore God is not supposed to help them simply because they have faith in him and they are worshiping him though otherwise they act violently with others and breaks the natural laws and social laws of the society. God is not supposed to excuse these people.

The God cannot act partially because God is not a politician.

God cannot break the natural laws because the God has framed them for maintenance of the society and the Cosmos. That is why the God would not allow any miracles through his devotees too.

God is not bias and will not act with discrimination because God’s mind cannot have limitation like human.

Further it is added there cannot be Hell and Haven out side the Cosmos. To think of Hell and Haven out side the Cosmos is much more complicated. Even God cannot explain it. If at all there exist any Haven and Hell it is within the Cosmos only. Specifically for our human kind, it is the earth only. The Earth is hell for some creatures and the same earth is haven for some creatures. Human society has to decide whether it wants Hell or Haven on this earth.

This is in brief all about GOD, COSMOS, SOUL and body according to Hindu philosophy what has been reproduced by SANKAR ACHARYA a great philosopher of all the time happened to have been on this earth 500 years BC. He has said that he had based his philosophy on VEDAs.

What is left out is the symbolic forms of GOD and liveliness of natural events.

The Cosmos is vast by nearly 20 billions of light years or even more. There are billions of billions of stars comparable in size and weight to our Sun. Most of them are supposed to have planets. Out of One million planets one planet can have atmosphere like earth as per the probability. We cannot discard the vastness of Cosmos and tiny-ness of our Earth. If Human species is really a great species in the Cosmos or even on this earth by virtue of its intelligence it is supposed to behave with responsibility. Otherwise the Human species would be considered as Cancer cells of the Earth. Mother Earth is clever and wise enough to destroy them in time to come.

Meditation may not have any thing to do with God. Off course it is matter of research on this point. It is also a matter of research as to what extent it helps the body and the mind. It is a breathing exercise, like you do bodily exercise. You can also have brain exercise. You can read books on psychology you can train your mind. But all to what extents depend upon what way you put it to practice.
