Why do waiting moments seem like ages to us?
The universe is in motion, whenever this motion stops, we recognize this stop as death because we do not yet know from the motion of the imperceptible part.
I see the reflection of a tree in the lake and, it is the same as the standing tree. The only difference is that the tree reflected in the calm waters makes a mirror effect - otherwise, there is no difference. Likewise, life (Samsara) is like a reflected tree. We see life through the lens of our thoughts, feelings, and what the eyes perceive. We have never seen LIFE in its correct form - just like a clean or a blank sheet of paper. However, we have always seen life, how people perceive us because we have never looked at ourselves - is this not strange and a feeble story of our life?
Life is the same as the reflected tree which, appears upsidedown and, this is a one hundred percent fact! When truth dawns, we begin to understand that life is no way near our beliefs or understanding based on our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Today when I came to this lake, for the very first time, I witnessed a tiny blackbird fighting against three rabbits. I wanted to capture this drama via my camera and video recording, but I could not as they were moving too fast. For good ten minutes, I watched this scene of how a tiny blackbird put up a fight against three rabbits and finally won the contest. Life is full of glimpses of such Divine beauty and vastness only when you can see it through pure and perfect eyes.
There is no point in seeing LIFE through anyone or anybody, nor should we accept anyone's feelings or religious duty to celebrate and appreciate LIFE. Only through unsullied pair of eyes must we apprehend the beauty that we call LIFE, and with clear thought, mental poise, clarity, and sublime feelings can LIFE appear New, Fresh, and Alive.
LIFE shows me the freshness of activity at every moment, and I often wonder whether this happens to me only? As you can see while panning the video, tiny birds are taking flight and learning how to fly. Wherever I go, LIFE presents me with lessons and understanding, just like witnessing the baby birds hardly 2" long that are learning how to fly. However, a child who is one and a half feet tall can not even talk. Let alone a child, but when one becomes 5 feet tall or more, he/she is unable to walk even then.
Creation fills with beauty, sense, and understanding, but it is a human being, believing himself/herself to be the image of God that, lives life in EGO the whole of his/her life. Human beings have imprisoned themselves due to the ego complex. Nothing is stopping him/her attain great heights, but his/her limitations become stumbling blocks. In creation, where God has granted power, you will also find a weakness in the same measure.
Life functions in balance and, how we go about living life depends a lot on our thoughts, understanding, and feelings. Anyway, this was a short preview of how LIFE grants me experiences every moment by teaching me LESSONS every step of the way which, becomes delightful obsessions, if you will.
Today's topic is SPEED (Gati), which is the rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Life and activity or Speed are synonymous. The action in life, be it via the act of thinking, feeling, traveling, working, or whatever else it is that we are doing, including mind-body activity, has its roots in the state of motion. The nervous system and breathing also depend on movement, and where movement ceases, DEATH is inevitable. This movement or MOTION is called ALIVENESS. The relationship between Time, Speed, and Space is ONE. It is a known fact that time slows down when the faster an object travels. If we become LIGHT itself, then time will STOP, it will cease to exist. God is eternal and TIMELESS (Samyatit or Kaalatit).
In short, where there is time, there will also be Speed and DEATH vice versa. Thus, when we become LIGHT itself, then DEATH will become a BLESSING in a POSITIVE manner. This STOPPAGE or DEATH is known as NIRVANA or the stage of SAMADHI. This spiritual LIGHT is in itself TOTALITY - so what is Consciousness and the SUN? Are they the same? Could it be that Consciousness through its subtle form appears as the SUN in its gross form?
Space is Silence (Chup) and, it also Light (Prakash). If we travel beyond space, do you think that there will be darkness or light there? To ascertain an answer to this question, then you must turn within yourself. I mentioned earlier that the tree appears upsidedown in the lake - but this could only take place if there is a tree standing in the first place, will it not? Hence, this LIFE (Samsara) is also like the reflected tree - which is comparable to the reflection of our mind, thoughts, and feelings alike. Time is, therefore, a reflection of I AM (Mai), and you will notice that in times of immense excitement and happiness, we cease to exist temporarily. Why is that during remorse, sadness, and bad times, time stops ticking? During waiting, time seems to extend and, why is that form, color, and size (shape) changes during such a disheartening phase?
During the phase of sorrow and sadness, grief, sorrow, and disease, believe it or not, our awareness increases tenfold. Though things seem to slow down and extend forever, our attention (awareness) gets the better of it. AWARENESS is LIGHT and, it also ALIVENESS because its momentum (SPEED) has increased and, the rate of time will slow down inversely. However, the strange thing is that the clock's movement remains consistent at all times, during sadness and happiness.
The clock's movement does not extend during the phase of anguish and vice versa - a phenomenon influenced by the Speed of Awareness. What science has discovered occurs within each of us yet, we fail to appreciate both science and religion (spirituality) because we have not understood our BEING and God's beautiful CREATION. Yet in, no time we stand up to refute world religions, country, thinking, and feelings.
Our energy flow seems to diminish and come to a halt where it is much needed. The pertinent question is, as mentioned above, how does the effect of time influence my welfare? The clock shows thirty minutes have elapsed, but due to sadness, it seems like eons. So what is the TRUTH here - is time rhythmically ticking away as it always does, or is our notion of feeling that time has stopped or extended forever correct?
Both aging and disease depend on AWARENESS, and because of our sheer ignorance, we have failed to recognize the importance of LIFE. If we can use AWARENESS during times of sorrow in a positive way rest, assured it would elevate us to great heights. Time would slow down and, we would feel younger and vibrant and, there will appear a glow of freshness on our body and face. Thus, if our SPEED is positive, then we will be healthy and vice versa. Time has no relevance with EXISTENCE or LIFE - its effects pertain to creation only. When LIFE is seen purely from within (BEINGNESS), it will be different because LOVE automatically will correct the anomaly of our seeing life incorrectly like, the upsidedown tree in the lake!
Only when our thinking, understanding, and feelings are in alignment can we appreciate LIFE - this means we will not need any medium of support.
In the next episode, we shall discuss the abode of heaven (Svarga), hell (Pataal Lok) and, earth (Mrityulok). In this episode, I wish to explain the movement of trees from a train. Why trees nearby move fast and so do the trees farthest, while the trees in between seem to be stationary. We can see things on the earth and the sky, but not those in-between why, so?
Science is also called specialized knowledge and has no difference from the Universal Law of Dharma. The Universal Law is not partisan - it is the same for humans, animals, trees, and birds. Baba Nanak Dev Ji shared His knowledge and personal experiences in Japji Sahib, Prophet Hazrat Muhammad shared His knowledge and personal experiences in the Quran, and Bhagwan Krishna appeared and shared His Knowledge and the TRUTH in the Gita via the Mahabharata war, Ashtavakra created the Maha Gita and Bhagwan Buddha established Ek Dhammo Sanatan. These are experiences shared by these Divine Beings as per their personal experiences via God-Realization.
Thus, as human beings, we too need to delve within our DIVINE SOURCE and gather the seeds of TRUTH and bring them forth by sharing their nectarine aroma. The other fact is that this knowledge can only be acknowledged and accepted with belief, trust, and faith since I cannot reveal it to you per se through a practical class in a laboratory.
Today's technology reveals the same facts revealed by the Great Masters and Personages of yore, such as Baba Nanak, Hazrat Muhammad, Krishna, Buddha, and Jesus. I consider technology as not only my Guru but my Dharma also. It will leave you astonished to learn how technology has benefited me.
I will need to present an essay on technology - I shall upload it on my Blog. I am talking to you all 15,000 miles away as you receive my audio instantly, meaning that technology has superior knowledge than we do. Dharma is not a problem, but we are an obstacle as far as Dharma is concerned in our Life. We have failed to overcome stress and sorrow in what way can we, therefore, comprehend Dharma? Without acknowledging Dharma and Science, we are simply flesh - science is a tool that enables us to understand the essence of Life. The need for Speed, Time, and Speed is a MUST as they are ONE.
