I and the universe


When in school, some of us used to make fun of what is the point to know that Ashoka, some guy in past had planted trees along roads and constructed some resting places for people on move. Why do we need to know now? Unfortunately we must learn and write the test paper to get our marks. Such useless knowledge!

Well at every stage of life one has different perception of knowledge, again based on understanding of knowledge gained.

The dance of our own mental reactions to every idea of others is what we basically enjoy.

It is very critical as to in which avatar we view an event or situation. As an inquirer to learn, or to pass judgment . We are prisoners of our own prejudices.

I find as we gain more and more experience of what we learn, wisdom lies in refusing to judge but remain a humble scholar.

While in school I had more confidence to judge. With time the judgmental attitude is waning for me.

So as a mere learner , I do appreciate and wonder how some of our celebrated highly learned minds see the world around and am grateful when they choose to share the reactions of their mind.

The reactions are real and true. The spectrum of colorful reflections is amazing.

Considering that we are using 500 years of accumulated knowledge tools , to learn first , what thousands of years of accumulated knowledge used to be, all our understanding will be limited to own boundaries of experience and learning. And when we move from part to whole, extrapolation necessarily means , speculation of what it could be.

So long as we are bound by physical world, to cosmic whole will remain in the realm of speculation , I feel. A few forays through  conditioned brains seeking consistency may give satisfaction to the individual, but it is unlikely to be the truth.

Finally it is "neti" , "neti", "neti".

The grandeur of the world and the persistence of human mind and its intellect constantly remind me how small a speck I am and in humility makes me bow to those great knowledge seekers who want to enlighten the humanity lost in day to miseries and petty joys of one up man ship in day to day life.

Just another day of Brahma we collide with another galaxy !!

  Just in another day of Brahma our Galaxy collides with Andromeda : Earth continues but sky views change and Sun orbit affected !!  Image From Atlantic : reproduced .  In Hindu philosophy, a **Brahma day** (also known as a **Kalpa**) is a vast cosmic period that represents one full day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. This period is equivalent to **4.32 billion years** in human terms⁴. A Brahma day consists of **1,000 Mahayugas** (great ages), and each Mahayuga is made up of four Yugas (ages): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga². After the completion of a Brahma day, there is an equally long Brahma night, during which the universe undergoes dissolution before the cycle of creation begins anew². This concept highlights the immense scale of time in Hindu cosmology and reflects the cycles of creation and dissolution that are central to the universe's rhythm. Is there a specific aspect of this concept you're curious about? Source: Conversat...

Are we experiencing life in a world already extinct millions of years ago?

Image
It’s not rare that my mind feels we are actually living in a world that might have been extinct millions of years ago!     As per Vishnu Sahasra Namam, part of Mahabharata authored by Sri Vedavyasa, Brahma praises his own father Sri Vishnu as Sahasra Yuga Dharane namaha . That if we take as life time for Brahama from his own birth before start of creation and own liberation annihilating the entire creation to join that realm which has no cycles of birth and death. —-ever present abode of Sri Narayana as per Brahmasutra and described in Sri Bhagavad Gita too. That is 1000x10^7x4.32 m or 4.32x 10^16 solar years.        The time scale of Sri Vishnu who is said to create and maintain this universe merely by a wish within less than a second of His time . This translates as the equivalent to 10^16 solar years is my submission. This is  followed by equal time period of yoga Nidra or entire universe transformed back in to suspended particles. So the process of...

For dummies like me, understanding Hilbert space and play of energy beams around my Atma ! : Using my Buddy Co-Pilot

Image
For dummies what is the Hilbert space and how does it help us? Hilbert space is a concept from mathematics and quantum mechanics that may sound complex, but let's break it down in a simple way: **Hilbert Space Basics:** - **Definition**: Think of it as an infinite-dimensional space, much like how we think of 3-dimensional space, but with potentially endless dimensions. - **Vectors**: In this space, you have vectors (like arrows) that can represent different states or points. - **Inner Product**: It has a special way to measure angles and distances between these vectors, called the inner product. This helps in defining concepts like orthogonality (perpendicularity) and length. **How it Helps Us:** - **Quantum Mechanics**: Hilbert spaces are fundamental in quantum mechanics. They provide the framework for describing quantum states and their evolution. - **Wave Functions**: Quantum states are represented as wave functions, which are essentially vectors in a Hilbert space. This helps i...
