Existence of Parabrahman

[Guest guest]

You cannot say that the Parabrahman exists or

Parabrahman does not exist. The reason is that in both

sentences the verb “exists” may mean that Parabrahman

is understood or Parabrahman is unimaginable.

Generally, people do not say that an unimaginable

thing exists. Therefore the verb “exists” always

requires the probability of the existence of

imaginable things. Based on this, when you say that

Parabrahman exists, generally there is a danger of

understanding the Parabrahman as imaginable. Based on

the same, even if you say that Parabrahman does not

exist, it may also lead to the probability of the

Parabrahman as an imaginable item. When we say that

the tree exists or that the tree does not exist, in

both cases the tree is imaginable. Therefore, the Lord

says in Gita that Parabrahman cannot be told as

existing or non-existing (Na sat tat). Therefore, the

Parabrahman is best expressed by the silence and

therefore the conclusion is that no word can indicate

directly the Parabrahman. The word Parabrahman is not

a direct word. It means that which is other than

Brahman. Brahman is an imaginable greatest item of the

creation, which is pure awareness. Sankara wrote

commentary about Brahaman. The word Brahma Jijnasa

means discussions about the Brahman since Brahman is

imaginable item it is well discussed but the word

ParaBrahman came sankara told that it should be

represented by silence only (Mauna Vyakhya Prakatita

ParaBrahma). The greatest item of the creation is pure

awareness only. The inert energy like light, heat,

electricity, magnetism is more subtle and greater than

the inert matter. The life energy that is produced in

the oxidation of food is only the heat energy ( Tejah

sati- Veda) because the oxidation reaction is an

exothermic reaction but the awareness, which is

generated from the nervous system by the heat energy,

is the most subtle and finest form of energy. The

inter conversion of awareness and heat energy is

understood theoretically but not possible in practice

for the scientist. This does not mean that the life

energy is independent and eternal without generation

and resolution. The awareness disappears in deep sleep

and appears when the person wakes up. This proves that

the awareness is not eternal but inter-convertible

form of inert energy only. Of course, the conversion

is not in the hands of the scientist. Though the

conversion is theoretically proved and accepted. When

you stop the supply of food or oxygen, the heat energy

is not produced in the digestion and the awareness

disappears, which is the state of coma or deep sleep.

When the life energy is not supplied, the death

happens. In the last stage of the patient, though

digestion stops, the respiration continues. Though

food is not supplied, oxygen is supplied. Instead of

food, the stored fat is oxidized. Therefore the

patient is alive for sometime in spite of the absence

of food. After sometime, the nervous system stops

functioning either due to damage in the system or due

to inadequate supply of the heat energy. This is the

stage of unconsciousness. Finally in the last stage,

the oxidation stops and no more heat energy is

produced. We say hat the human being is dead due to

absence of any trace of heat and the body becomes

cool. This process of death is described in Veda

(Manastejasi tejassati). Just in the last fraction of

a second of the time of death, a small portion of the

heat energy is used in the formation of the energetic

body that goes out of the gross body along with the

bundle of qualities, which are stored in the mind.

This bundle of qualities accumulated from the past

million of births can not be prepared by the

scientist. He can not bring back this bundle, which

escaped from the gross body through the subtle body.

Due to this reason only the dead person can not be

made alive. Otherwise science has developed the

nervous system and brain in the Robot by introducing a

small bundle of qualities as information chip.

Therefore, the man is produced but the same man can

not be reproduced. The concept of Robot clearly proves

that the awareness is also a form of inert energy

because in Robot the electrical energy is converted

into the so called awareness which is only the electro

magnetic radiation. This energetic body is called as

subtle body or ‘sukshma sarira’. This goes to the

upper world, which is invisible as said in Veda

(‘Manomayaha’) and in Gita (‘Vayurgandhan’,

‘Utkramamtam’). For any authority, the final stage is

experience, which alone gives the validity. The

analysis of life energy, awareness etc. is done based

on the experience of a human being existing here. All

this is the analysis of the various aspects of the

human being existing in this world. We have concluded

that the awareness is the finest and greatest item in

this world based on the practical analysis here

itself. If the practical experience is neglected, the

logic will lose its basis. In such situation, even the

scripture cannot stand because one may say that the

scripture itself is a false imagination of some mad

person. Therefore all this analysis is based on the

internal nature of the available human being. The

analysis of the human being perfectly gives the

analysis of this entire creation because any human

being is a part of creation only. Therefore, the

logical analysis and the practical experience

associated forms the science. Any spiritual aspirant

is an ordinary human being only and thus science is

applicable for analysing yourself. In fact the process

of elimination only can do the attainment of self or

the casual body, which is a perfect scientific

procedure. Self is the best item of the creation and

the analysis of self is also science. When you are an

item of creation, your ways and efforts cannot be

supernatural and they must follow the natural rules of

creation, which are again science only. Therefore you

must use the logical scientific analysis in analysing

yourself and your path to reach God. But God is beyond

this creation who is the Creator. Therefore God cannot

be analysed by science. When the goal is above science

the scientific path cannot be meaningful because the

scientific path will lead to such goal only, which can

be analysed by science. For e.g.: let us take the path

to Bombay, the path is on the Earth and Bombay is also

on the Earth. A path that can be analyzed by logic can

reach the goal, which must be also analyzed by the

logic. If I start the journey to God and ask the path

to reach Him, nobody can show the path because the God

is invisible. An invisible goal will always have an

invisible path. Nobody can travel in invisible path.

One can show the path to a holy temple. If God exists

in the statue, such path is a true path. The main

purpose of reaching God is to know the whole knowledge

of yourself, the correct path and the correct goal.

The reason is that God is the best preacher since all

the matters are related to God. Therefore the Human

Incarnation is the correct place of God. The human

incarnation consists of a visible human body so that

the path to reach Him also becomes visible. Since God

is in the human incarnation, by reaching that human

body you have reached God. In fact God pervaded all

over the body and you have reached the God. The God

becomes visible through human body and therefore the

path to reach God is also visible. The main purpose to

reach God is to hear the correct version of the entire

spiritual knowledge. Then through service you have to

please the God. In the case of statue, it is not

preaching any trace of knowledge. Moreover when we

serve the statute it is not appearing pleased on its

face. Due to these two reasons neither God is in the

statute nor God is the statute ( Na tasya Pratima-

Veda). The statute in the human form is a model to

indicate the human form of the Lord. The ignorant

human beings who can not accept the human form of the

God due to egoism and jealousy can worship the statute

as training for some time to worship the human form of

Lord in future ( Pratimahyalpa Buddhinam- Smruti). But

one should not sit in the training through out his

life. If he sits the training only, he is born as an

inert object like stone ( Bhutejya yanti- Gita)
