The World & We.

“ Manifestation and not creation, is the work of science today”. Science is nothing but finding of unity and when this unity would be reached we would stop from further progress.
Chemistry: One element from which all others could be made.
Physics: One energy of which all others are but manifestations.
Religion: One who is the only soul of which all souls are delusive manifestations, one life in the universe of death.
Economics: Wants equals resources.
Market: Demand equals supply.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 of Bible says ‘What ever happens or can happen has already happened before.’ So what has happened before will happen again, what has been done before will be done again. There is nothing new in this world. Civilization, life, food chain, everything is a cycle. One (I) may feel that my thoughts and ideas are innovations, but no, there are thousands and thousands of people with the same thoughts and same ideas. But then some are heard and some are unheard. These are all part and parcel of life. Our knowledge is only as much as a glass of water in the wide ocean. In this world of ours, the only truth or the destination in everybody’s life is death. ‘Death is common to all and nothing lasts for ever’. Mutability is the way of life. The only law applicable in this ever changing world is love, with the only religion being ‘right’- thoughts, deeds and action. Anybody who has a firm faith in a noble task and strives ceaselessly to achieve it will be successful in his life. Thus success is tasted not by Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhist, Parsees or the believers of other religion alone but by those who does the ‘Right thing at the right time’.

The best example for the fact that everything in this world is a repetition is, that the distance between sun and earth is 93,000,000 miles while the sunlight travels at the speed of 1,86,000 miles per second only. Thus before reaching earth it is already 8.3 minutes old and what we say, the new or the first ray of light is not infact something new, but just a repetition.

Another truth about life is that ‘United we stand, divided we fall’. Though competition is always required, cutthroat competition will lead to destruction and cooperation is always required. Eg. Sun is made up of heat and light, which are brothers. Light by itself or heat by itself is worthless but both are required. A common name attributed to these two brothers is energy. Light of the sun, the initial belief was that it was made up of seven colours namely VIBGYOR. But today light is not limited to its seven-rayed domain. The waves of light that lies outside the violet ray is called ultra violet ray and outside red is called infrared. ‘Astronomer Sir William Horschall). The heat becomes intense as we move towards red ray and so beyond it. Its chemical activities are leaned towards the violet. These rays if it reaches the earths surface will lead to disaster (Ozone problem) The waves towards the infrared light carries with it messages, by which we get radio news etc; with the help of the rays towards the violet (Rontgen rays) we can see the deep sealed bones in our body through our covering skin. All the colours in the sunlight blend, making it white. How can we then see different colours in different things?

The answer is that all things do not absorb all the colours. They exclude some offering no reason. These rejected colours are our gain, a gift to our eyesight. The liquid that a thick bloating paper absorbs is of no use to us. The liquid, which is surplus that is left over, is our gain. It is exactly the same with sunlight. The rub accepts from sunlight all its coloured waves but returns to it the red. In this renunciation lies the splendor of the ruby. Its glory is not in what it appropriates. White hair refuses all the colour waves of the sunlight and so it is white. Black hair absorbs all its waves and therefore it is black. If all the objects in the world appropriate the entire colour waves from the sun then our world would appear as nothing but black. The colour would not show up at all. So is there, the need for diversity in the world, without it, life would be boredom. When we see all people as all-alike, it is no seeing at all.

The people of the very ancient past did not try to absorb all colours and therefore found our world to be white. But today people are trying to absorb all colours and therefore it seems black and empty to them. There are many waves of sun, which do not reach earth and much, which air resists.

In our universe sun is at the center of the solar system, and other bodies like planets, comets etc. revolve around it. Just like the solar system our world too is made up of many small elements, which our shastra call (Paramanu) but science call it atoms. Some elements like gold are rudimentary and therefore cannot be split. While others-molecules-can be further split into atoms. The working of the atom is more or less similar to our solar system with one stationery body in the center, sun or nucleus (inside neutron and protons) and others like planets or electrons revolve around it due to the nuclear force. The positive force is in the center and makes others revolve around. Therefore in life too, each individual should be positive. All things, which are in the embodiment of stillness, vibrate, for there is a vibration of this energy in them. Of the energies of sun, light beats upon our eyes, while heat beats upon our body.

Energy, lighting that flashes from amongst the clouds is electricity. It is of two kinds-Positive and negative. We can say that one has ‘virtue’ and the other ‘no virtue’. That is there are two types of people. Moreover everything in the world is made up of two opposite forces and yet there is a natural antipathy between them. Men and Women. The electric spark is called the neutron. Only one proton can keep one electron under control. When positive and negative are equal in number there is harmony. When a home made up of union of a man and a woman has its feminine influence reduced it generally follows that there is dominance of Masculine power. When there is harmony there is no charge. The word charge is frequently used in connection with electricity too. If one ignoring its bond of agreement, supersedes the other, proclaiming its superiority then we say matter is charged with electricity.

As is seen in nations, families and among friends beyond the center of the atoms quarrels persists. But within the center they appear bound in friendship. It is detected that the space left between two similar minded atoms, when all adverse tendencies comes to force is many a millionth part of an inch. It follows then that within this narrowness of the atom there is yet a great force stronger than the repelling force that exist between two protons and this is of a magnetic kind. This force attracts the protons in the atoms as well as the neutrons. In other words, it exerts equal influences on matters whether they are charged with electricity or not. This great magnetic power dwelling in the heart of an atom is the same force that sets the universe at rest, thereby bringing about peace and patience and understanding. In the politics of the atom there is this force, bigger than all the other forces, that is why whatever are reactionary by nature comes to terms with it and together they hold the peace of universe. This makes us see clearly that the concord, which we find in the universe, is not the result of a placid docility. Out of all warning elements a powerful concord is established. Those, which individually are destructive, are the protectors of creation when united.

One more thing must be added. The electrons, protons and neutrons are the same in all matter. The difference lies in the way they are distributed. The molecules containing, six positive minded protons in total, forms into carbon. In other words it is an atom of carbon variety. The atom of Hydrogen has one electron, which of nitrogen has seven, oxygen has eight but uranium has 99. The atom falls into the different cast groups according to the number of positive protons they happen to possess. So also in the midst of numerical differences lies the diversity of life or creation.

The glimpse of our epics reveals that the progress of today is not something new. Eg:

Plane-Resembles something in which Ravana took Sita to Lanka.
Cloning-Resembles the remake of the son of Rama by the sanyasi in the forest.
DNA test- Resembles Sitas agniparaksha, for if she was in fire, she would have turned into ashes.

Things yet to be discovered are:

Death free medicine-Amruth.
Other solar system-Where men of epics reside.

The offer of sacrifice in the form of burning woods with ghee etc., thereby producing heat, which in turn evaporates the ground water and once evaporated, then condenses and brings down rain, was practiced long before evaporation and condensation were defined.

‘History is nothing and does nothing.’ It is man who is and does. For the progress of our nation there is no use imitating the western culture. Modernization by retaining new tradition is welcome. In any field hard work is always rewarded. Mostly the right work at the right time brings luck or fortune and otherwise it is badluck or misfortune. Whatever happens…. isn’t it destined? The will of God…………………..
