A part of infinity is also infinite.
When infinite is taken out of the infinite; what
remains is also infinite.
When that infinite merges back to infinite; the
resultant is again infinite.
Simple logic; isn’t it.
The Upanishads tell us this; not to explain
mathematics but the philosophy of our existence, our soul.
Our soul has evolved from the infinite; after
creating our soul that infinite remained as infinite, nothing changed.
Our soul being a part of the infinite is also
infinite. {Having the same attributes}.
When it will merge back with the infinite; the
infinite will remain infinite.
"Om purna madah purna midam
Purnat purna mudachyate
Purnasya purna madaya
Purna meva vasishyate
Om shanti shanti shantih"
Purnat purna mudachyate
Purnasya purna madaya
Purna meva vasishyate
Om shanti shanti shantih"
this can also be explained
as:
From Fullness comes that
Fullness....
From the Whole, the Whole arises...
From completeness, completeness comes forth....
A perfect born out of the perfect....
Then why do we limit ourselves?
I have written this article because most
people think that the path to light and enlightenment is a different path which
can only be practiced by staying away from the world.
The term meditating in a cave in the Himalayas is often used.
The Himalayas are 50 million years old
and as far as I know the soul in us is ageless.
The person who seeks wealth; gets rich.
The one who desires love; that soul is one day capable of giving and
receiving love.
The soul which seeks the light; will experience the light.
The light that enlightens, the light of God.
The only thing is that; that light will be the light of our own soul,
that what we sought outside will emerge from inside and the world will
experience one more enlightened soul.
If the ex-dacoit wrote the Ramayana and became the great Sage Valmiki;
we too can rise from the ashes of our life; like the phoenix; the mythical
sacred fire bird which has the ability to be reborn from its own ashes.
