What
exactly are we? Are we the image of cruelty? Are we the result of actions that
were hampered by death, ignorance, calamity, anguish, and agony? This is an
eternal question that has been passed down to us since the beginning of time.
Ages have passed; the slogans of Neti Neti (Negations) have echoed, but the
reciprocating movements of the manifest and the unmanifest continue. Following
extensive research, a Vedic sage awoke from his deep trance and declared,
"Hearken O, children of God; you are actually the sons of
immortality." There was a flash of light in the dark sky, and a cave of
immortality was discovered in the moral mountain. A non-dual, unique, and
divine existence was discovered pervading everything, whether it is an atom or
the entire universe; whether it is a microbe or the highly exalted Brahma.
As
the saying goes, "all that glitters is not gold," what appears to be
true may not be. The face value reveals something, but the intrinsic value
reveals quite the opposite. Beyond time, space, and the laws of causation,
there is an eternal existence that transcends all temporal existences. This eternal
existence is referred to as "Atman." This divine principle is our
true introduction. When considered as an integral whole, it is referred to as
god; when considered as individual parts, it is referred to as individual
souls. Individual souls are numerous, but they are all of the same quality and
category.
The
differences and disparities among different kinds of creation are caused by
various types of material world superimpositions. When the scene of the drama
of creation ends, all superimpositions of matter, mind, and intellect vanish. The
true beginning of his life is this divine principle known as Atman in Hindu
philosophy. A divine portion of the total divinity was revealed. This divine
portion was initially completely pure. Maya's intervention later proved
beneficial. Maya is said to be a special power of God that He uses to create a
world of opposites, such as light and darkness, truth and untruth, beauty and
ugliness, and so on.
Maya
caused the individual soul to forget its divine nature. It is suddenly
enveloped by ignorance, a completely lost soul in the world of oblivion. As a
result, the knowledgeable soul was transformed into the ignorant soul. God's
magic, combined with His will, caused one non-dual truth to diffuse itself in
many numbers, occupying multiple colors. Many mental exercises have been
conducted, and the best analogy for the concept of creation is a divine drama.
But, amazingly, none of us knows or believes that this creation is only for
display. This emergence of infinite souls was analogous to infinite sparks of
fire emerging from a large ball of fire.
This
understanding, "Who am I? Is this me, the Atman? Is a complicated
knowledge because real knowledge is a complex of knowledge's trinity, where
knower, knowledge, and the way to knowledge form a complete amalgamation, but
this knowledge is beyond the approach of mind and intellect. The science of
Yoga, which is a special gift from God, provides us with the technology to
achieve infinity and eternity.
As a
result, there are three types of people in the world:
1.
Individual soul that is immortal.
2.
Individual soul that is mortal.
3.
Immortal triumphs over soul.
The
immortal individual soul is a permanent resident of the spiritual world,
whereas the mortal individual soul is merely a visitor. The tourist soul is a
transitory being, whereas the spiritual world citizen is an eternal being
unaffected by time, space, ignorance, and other relative entities.
The
immortal soul is the ultimate repository of all potencies; the father, mother,
and everything rolled into one. This supreme existence is referred to as God by
philosophers and Yogis.
