LIGHT OF THE DAY - 15

Real versus Virtual

Is it not strange that many things in this universe, especially in our world (earth) are virtual. Day and night, jnana and ajnana, ignorance and knowledge, truth and untruth, sleep and consciousness and the list can go on endlessly. As Swami Vivekananda said, "we must remember the definition of this world of ours; it is only the Infinite Existence projected into the plane of consciousness. A little of the Infinite is projected into consciousness, and that we call our world. So there is an Infinite beyond;" both are to be dealt by the same mind, behind which  the same consciousness works ever. This is the paradox and an perspective calling to  surmount.  Poison is present within the same body of some of the animals without affecting the one which carries it. Hydrocarbons are dangerous and life threats to many including man, but, the same is the food for some of the bacterias. Some of the bacterias which cause infection are food for the virus. Radiation of many kind can alter the structure of cells and perhaps it can also kill them. The same radiation under controlled dosage acts as medicine or as diagnostic tool. In the phenomenon world virtuality rues the root. Behind all these things the sun shines our world without any break! Burning continuously for millions of years. It is permanent upto a point in the time scale plotted by man. But behind this undiminishing ball of energy there is permanent source which shines adinfinitum. That is one source omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. Call it Sat-Chit-Anand boundless.

NON STOP PRAYING

 Around the earthly world, it is very appropriate to point out that there would be some or the other soul praying to the eternal reality every passing moment. In all probability there will not be any break even few seconds in terms of our time concept. Be it be Hindu, Christian, Mussalman, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain or any one belonging to any sect or religion. The prayer is perhaps incessant and continues without break. Somewhere, some soul is praying. It is possible because of the distribution of habitable geography and demographic representation on our earth. Also because it is the recognition, that only the 'Absolute Truth' can safeguard, mitigate all the requirements of His own carriage of different forms of life including man. All the requirement of life to sustain, preserve, protect and proliferate to levels which are decided by the forces guarding all essentials takes care. Especially, when life arrives, all the care is taken by the 'prakruti' up to the future days when it can meet the demands of its requirement on its own or through assistance from its mother or father or elder. There may be atheists, agnostics or other sort of beings but, the embodied power of manifestation has to carry-on with its well defined track of fulfillment. Only exception may be that group which are classified as rich and who do not find time to leave their amass wealth and richness. Others not convinced about their status and purpose with which they are born in this world. Life goes on unhindered.

LIGHT OF THE DAY - 12

SPARK

Spark, Spark, Spark

That is what

Every life starts with

On land, water, air

Even in nonliving

The spark slumbers dormant

To get active at will

Not understandable when will

            The spark ticks

            Sets in motion

            To accrue

            To predetermined level

Predetermined by whom

Search answers

Across thither corners

Of world that's visible,

Conceived, imagined, unexplained

            Men are endowed

            To accrue the spark

            To limitless limit

            To drench the world

            With findings always suspicious

            Yet sparkling

            Own aura of Truth and Reality

Everything encased in 'CHIT'

Dissolves the accrual

Be it of man, animal

Plant, planet, stars, .........

Into thinness of Eternity !!
