Dear Phantom
Phantom: Can you please specify what you mean by omnipotent god?
Suresh: I think you could have done google search for this. Omnipotent
means ‘unlimited power’. So when we say ‘god’ means, our general view
is that he has unlimited power, so that he can save us from all our
struggles. If god has limited power, he cannot save our all problems,
isn’t it?.
For example, if I am rich, whatever disease my son, has I can give
treatment in the best hospital in the world, but if I am poor or
middle class, I have only limited access depend upon my access to
funds, I will give treatment, and there is always a possibility of
saying that if I had more money I would have taken him to the best
hospital in the world and cured him.
So god of our imagination or our creation, we wanted him to possess
unlimited powers, so that one can access for his unlimited power, that
is why we wanted to call him as ‘god’ the one who is omnipotent.
Phantom: Matter (dark matter, visible matter), Energy (dark energy,
regular energy), space, and time. This is what we know exists in our
knowledge base of 2012.
Suresh:- Only now in 2012, science can able to tell this, but vedas
had said long long ago, as per Hinduism it is created when the world
is created, but as per Wikipedia it is between 1500 – 500 BC.
Please note what vedas says is in different language (mean different
sense or sign posts), as I wrote in my previous mails that a sign post
is not real god, it only shows the way to feel god. One rule and one
god. The same rule applies both to outer science and inner science. I
have already mentioned in my previous mail that you are the miniature
of the universe, thoughts are like galaxies of stars, what rule
applies to stars or what you call dark matter and visible matter, same
applies to your thoughts also, since both are forms. If you know
yourself, you know the universe.
Only mistake what you do is you see outer space as 3rd person or
objectivity, but in fact it is subjectivity. You have inner space, and
this space and outer space has no difference in other words to say
soul and super soul are not different, in essence it is same that is
like saying a dew drop and ocean.
Don’t look at the space of universe as outside of you, feel it is me,
it is your subject, it is what you are. No more call it as ‘it’ or
‘you’, it is “I”. Only one subject for whole universe. This is what
talked in Vedas.
Shivalinga, is such a great symbolic representation of the whole truth
of ‘oneness’. No religion had expressed like this. Pray to shivalinga
and ask for “moksha”, you will be given.
Phantom: It is a great exercise to relieve anxiety. However, relief of
anxiety should not be misunderstood as a state of knowledge
Yes you are right it is not state of knowledge, Enlightened being call
it ‘wisdom’. Do you know what is wisdom? It means, it is void of all
knowledge or digested of all knowledge and in the state of ever
knowing.
Phantom: I agree that with the fleeting subjective feeling of silence
while awake, while in non-REM sleep, or while in coma all reflect an
anxiety free state. But that should never be the ultimate aim for
anyone while they are alive.
Suresh: As you said Anxiety Free State can even be while a person is
in coma, but it is the state of non knowing, and it cannot be compared
to the subjective feeling of silence while awake, because it is the
state of knowing. You compared two states which cannot be compared and
stated that should not be the ultimate aim for anyone.
Ultimate aim for anyone should be ‘moksha’ or liberation or a state in
which the body so far seen as ‘me’ or self will be observed as ‘body’
alone and no subjectivity is attached, and hence its movement are of
the whole or the god.
Phantom: Upon my death, I shall have a long time to be silent. Why
rush it! Granted, like sleep, one could use a moment of silence now
and then. Other than a subjective feeling, the laws of the universe
are not suspended, no miracles happen, I am just relaxed for a while.
Suresh: Who will know after your death you will be silent. As per you,
body alone is you, when the body has died you are finished there is no
you after that, so your statement here is totally contradictory from
your whole argument, which is based on science.
Please take it for granted that life will not leave you free, you may
not be able to use any moment of silence now and then. Miracles
happen? But do you know what a miracle is? Miracles does not mean
overnight you become rich, even becoming rich is very easy. You can
see it in politics. But to feel divine inside you is a miracle. Life
do not allow you to be relaxed, it will push you or pull you towards
him, which we call suffering.
Best wishes
Suresh
