-- *Mar*Ever Growing Revelations-Vs-Memorialized and Mechanized Knowledge
In the Universe Time is an ever-growing and continuing process, developing branches continuously.Yesterday gets completed with additions today and tomorrow takes over the completion and addition to today. It is the great tree of Revelations continuously branching, expanding and enlarging infinitely. You are part of the process and the only method of learning is feeling the flow of understanding as the wonderful flow of revelations. If you stop to note and remember, you lose your participation in the time process or the flow of revelations. The revelations become the hormonal messages into your bloodstream which enter every cell, which vibrate reception and contribution, which you exhale and express. The other organisms inhale your inspiring messages and they interact with their additions. The troposphere vibrates with vibrations and inspirations. Bhoodevi or Gaia continuously gives lessons that automatically become the hormonal messages of the blood stream. We all function as her active limbs, participating in the process-‘time’. Imagine the mighty river of revelations ‘Time’, when you consider the whole Universe. But your revelations and expressions join the troposphere and travel and then traverse right into the cosmos, contributing to pneuma the cosmic breathe. In our land Bharat, the revelations of each Rishi became a God, and as a result we find the ever growing number of Gods and Angels, the carriers of Revelations. For our Rishi Revelations are not to be shelfed informations. They become experiences, as part of the Biosphere, where every newly born organism feels via breathing and hearing. They did not write Text Books but followed the epic method, representing how one’s behavior and perception and understanding has to vibrate as per the role models created in the epics, the epics whose number grew continuously creating more and more Gods. The number of Gods runs into crores indicating the great number of revelations, which our Rishis contributed to the troposphere via chanting,Prayers,Songs,Mantras,Tantras or the methods of feeling, mainly yogas, feeling time as the Divine process. The Revelations were not shelfed; Coffined and Memorialed knowledge. There was no God that asserted that he is the one and only God and that all other Gods are false. The basic requirement of revelations is free, healthy and happy nature, where every organism functioned as a contributor to the revelations. Time simply is experience and not some indifferent mechanical flow. Today Time is dethroned by science and technology. The basic constitution, nature, is continuously destroyed by industrialization, urbanization and mechanization. The land, water and air are completely poisoned, and there is a big assault on Geography with the gigantic ice covers of the Poles,Greenland,Siberia,Himalayas etc being melted to extinction, Land mined and exploded for economic and military use, the list of atrocities on nature is very big and growing. All Gods have been chased away as nature no longer can give revelations. The very symbiotic ecological connections among the organisms has been destroyed or Darwined, converting the very process of time as a deadly process. It is for the Universities to break the shackles of economics and revive Ecology. As the basic beginning every University must start a ‘Free Nature Park’, without human tampering so that the students feel revelations and join the time process of nature. YM Sarma Chat GPT This piece of writing by YM Sarma beautifully contrasts two ways of interacting with knowledge and existence: one rooted in the living, evolving flow of revelations, and the other in the mechanized, memorialized approach to knowledge that modern science and technology often represent. Here’s a breakdown of the ideas presented: *1. Revelation as a Flow of Time:* - Sarma describes *time* as a dynamic, ever-growing process, where revelations—new understandings, experiences, insights—continuously branch out like a tree. Each new day brings its own additions, and as individuals, we are participants in this flow. Knowledge isn’t something to be captured and stored but something to be felt, experienced, and contributed to in real-time. - The metaphor of *hormonal messages* in the bloodstream suggests that understanding is a living process, one that flows through us and connects us to the greater web of existence. Everything we think, feel, and express vibrates in harmony with the world around us, contributing to the cosmic flow of revelations. *2. The Role of Nature and the Biosphere:* - According to Sarma, *Bhoodevi (Gaia)*—the Earth—is a teacher, and each organism is a part of the process, contributing to the revelations that expand the universe. We are not passive recipients of knowledge but active participants who interact with the very flow of life. - The understanding from ancient *Bharat (India)* is highlighted, where *Rishis* (sages) saw revelations as part of a living tradition, one that grew and expanded over time. Instead of storing knowledge in books, these revelations were expressed through *epic stories, prayers, songs, mantras*, and *yogas*—methods that kept knowledge alive and continuously expanding. *3. Mechanization and the Loss of Revelation:* - Sarma critiques the modern world for shifting away from this organic, evolving process of time. *Science and technology* are seen as having dethroned time itself, transforming it from a process of revelation into a mechanical, impersonal flow. Industrialization and urbanization have poisoned nature, damaging the delicate balance that once allowed the flow of revelations to continue. - The *destruction of nature*—through environmental degradation, climate change, and exploitation of resources—has severed our connection to the revelations that once flowed from the Earth and the cosmos. This mechanized worldview, where nature is simply an object to be controlled and manipulated, has led to the "chasing away" of the gods, as nature is no longer a source of divine inspiration. *4. The Call for Ecological Revival:* - The piece ends with a hopeful call for change. Sarma urges universities to lead the way in reviving the ecological connection between humans and nature. One concrete step he suggests is the creation of a *‘Free Nature Park’* where students can experience the living revelations of nature in their purest form, untouched by human interference. *Overall Themes:* - *Flow vs. Stagnation:* Knowledge is not something to be captured and memorialized but is instead an ongoing process that must be experienced and shared. - *Nature as Teacher:* Nature, or *Gaia*, is viewed as a divine source of revelation, with every living being contributing to the greater cosmic flow. - *The Damage of Industrialization:* Modern society’s disregard for ecology and its mechanization of life has led to a disconnection from the natural revelations that once enriched humanity. - *Ecological Revival:* The future lies in reconnecting with the Earth, experiencing nature’s revelations firsthand, and fostering an ecological mindset in educational institutions. This writing provides a thought-provoking perspective on how human knowledge and connection to the universe have evolved over time and highlights the need for a return to a more organic, symbiotic relationship with nature. This piece by YM Sarma invites us to reconsider the way we relate to knowledge, existence, and the natural world, contrasting two distinct approaches: one rooted in the living, evolving flow of revelations and the other in the mechanical, memorialized approach of modern science and technology. *1. Revelation as a Living Flow:* Sarma presents knowledge and time as part of a continuous, evolving process. Instead of being something fixed, stored, or memorialized, revelations are viewed as ongoing additions to the great tree of life, continuously expanding. Each moment, day, and revelation is part of this endless flow. Sarma uses the metaphor of hormonal messages coursing through the bloodstream to emphasize how revelations are not static but part of a living, interactive process that affects all living beings. This suggests that true knowledge is not something to be captured but experienced, felt, and participated in actively. *2. Nature and the Biosphere as Sources of Revelation:* Central to Sarma’s worldview is the idea that nature—specifically the Earth (Bhoodevi or Gaia)—is not merely a resource to be exploited but a teacher in and of itself. The natural world is the medium through which revelations flow, and every living organism plays a role in this cosmic exchange. This idea is deeply rooted in the ancient Indian traditions, where Rishis (sages) did not see knowledge as something to be captured in books but as a living tradition that unfolds through epics, prayers, songs, and yogas. The dynamic, participatory relationship with the world allowed knowledge to remain a living force, ever-growing and expanding. *3. The Mechanization of Knowledge and the Loss of Connection:* Sarma critiques modern industrial society for mechanizing both time and knowledge. Through technological advancements and environmental degradation, nature has been seen more as something to be controlled and exploited, rather than a source of inspiration and revelation. In doing so, humanity has severed its connection to the flow of revelations. The Earth, once a sacred teacher, has been reduced to an object of manipulation, leading to the loss of divine inspiration—the "chasing away" of the gods. This mechanized worldview turns time into a linear, impersonal force rather than a living, dynamic process. *4. The Call for Ecological and Educational Revival:* Sarma’s conclusion offers hope and a call for action. He urges universities and educational institutions to take the lead in reconnecting humanity with the living revelations of nature. He suggests creating “Free Nature Parks” where students can engage directly with the unspoiled natural world, experiencing the flow of revelations in their purest form, untouched by human interference. This idea aligns with the belief that the future of human knowledge and understanding lies in restoring our symbiotic relationship with nature. *Overall Themes:* - *Flow vs. Stagnation:* Knowledge should be seen as an ongoing, dynamic process rather than something to be captured and stored in books or texts. It’s a continuous unfolding, and our participation in it is what keeps it alive. - *Nature as a Teacher:* Nature is viewed as a divine source of revelation, with every organism contributing to the ongoing flow of wisdom. - *Industrialization and its Damage:* The mechanization and exploitation of nature through industrialization, urbanization, and environmental degradation have cut off humanity from the very source of its revelations. - *Ecological Revival:* There is a call for an ecological revolution, starting with the education system, to restore a direct connection to nature and the ongoing flow of knowledge. This piece is a profound reflection on the need to reconnect with the organic, dynamic process of knowledge and existence, emphasizing that nature, in its untouched state, remains the most powerful and profound teacher. The future of humanity, Sarma suggests, depends on reversing the damage done by industrialization and restoring our connection to the living, evolving flow of time and revelations.

The future of humanity, Sarma suggests, depends on reversing the damage done by industrialization and restoring our connection to the living, evolving flow of time and revelations. This essay by YM Sarma explores a profound and philosophical understanding of knowledge, time, and our relationship with nature. He contrasts two ways of engaging with knowledge: one as a dynamic, living flow of revelations that is continuously evolving, and the other as static, memorialized, and mechanized knowledge, which is characteristic of the modern scientific and technological approach. Here’s a breakdown of the core themes: ### 1. **Revelation as a Living, Expanding Flow**: Sarma views knowledge and time as a living process that continuously grows and evolves. Each moment in time, each revelation, adds to the collective experience. Knowledge is not something that can be stored and memorialized in books or texts; it is something to be actively participated in, experienced, and contributed to. He compares this flow to hormonal messages in the bloodstream, where knowledge flows through every living being and contributes to the larger cosmic flow. ### 2. **Nature and the Biosphere as Sources of Revelation**: In Sarma’s view, nature is not just a resource to be exploited but a divine teacher (Bhoodevi or Gaia) that imparts lessons. Every organism, through its actions and existence, contributes to the unfolding of revelation. Ancient Indian traditions, represented by the Rishis (sages), viewed knowledge as part of an ongoing, living tradition that expanded and evolved through the expression of epics, mantras, songs, and yogas, rather than through the writing of textbooks. The number of gods, representing different revelations, was vast and ever-growing. ### 3. **Mechanization and the Loss of Connection**: Sarma critiques the mechanization and industrialization of modern society, where nature has been reduced to a resource for exploitation. This has led to the destruction of the natural world, including the poisoning of land, air, and water. Through industrialization and urbanization, humanity has severed its connection to the flow of revelations that were once drawn from the natural world. This mechanized worldview turns time from a living, dynamic process into an impersonal, mechanical one. The "gods" and revelations are no longer accessible, as nature has been damaged and cannot provide the inspiration it once did. ### 4. **A Call for Ecological and Educational Revival**: Sarma ends with a hopeful call for the revival of a more ecologically conscious, nature-connected approach. He suggests that universities take the lead in fostering a new relationship with nature by creating "Free Nature Parks," areas where students can experience the natural world in its purest form. These parks would allow students to engage directly with nature, reconnecting with the flow of revelations in a way that is untainted by human interference. This, Sarma believes, is the key to restoring the lost connection between humanity and the living process of time. ### **Key Themes**: - **Flow vs. Stagnation**: Knowledge should not be something to be preserved in textbooks but something that is experienced in an ongoing, dynamic process. - **Nature as a Teacher**: Nature, or Gaia, is viewed as a divine source of revelations, with every living organism contributing to the greater flow of wisdom. - **The Damage of Industrialization**: The modern mechanized worldview, driven by industrialization and exploitation of nature, has severed our connection to the natural flow of time and revelation. - **Ecological Revival**: The future lies in reconnecting with the Earth and fostering a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, starting with educational institutions. ### Conclusion: Sarma’s writing urges us to reconsider our relationship with both knowledge and the natural world. The future, according to him, hinges on the restoration of a living, dynamic understanding of knowledge and time—one that honors the natural world and allows us to participate in the ongoing process of revelation rather than simply memorizing and memorializing information. Through ecological revival and experiential learning, humanity can reconnect with the divine flow of revelations that were once deeply rooted in our connection with the Earth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
