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.
