dear basudeba,

Who is physics (matter and energy) for if not for the I or the soul?

Love,

Sridattadev.

I always judged by the high score for that belief.

Dear basudeba,

Keep asking that simple question who am i? You will find the answer to that with in your self.

Love,

Sridattadev.

Dear Hai,

Thank you and from your essay I know that you are a believer in the absolute as well and I wish you the absolute joy in your journey.

To the question you posed at the end of your essay, Is God absolute?

We have to first find God to confirm if God is absolute and the best place to find GOD is with in your self. You are the God that you are looking for, once you realize this truth, you will find that you are the absolute as well.

So the answer is, I in all of us is the absolute GOD.

Love

Sridattadev.

GOD - Generator (creator), Organizer (sustainer), Destroyer (dissolve or discard)

Do we all not do these actions of creation, sustenance and destruction on a regular basis, so are'nt we all GOD?

Love,

Sridattadev.

Dear Sir,

You only said "Who is physics (matter and energy) for if not for the I or the soul?" Hence you should clarify what you mean by I and the soul. How can we know by asking that question to us? Other than you, only God, if there is any such thing, will know what you think. Hence please clarify your own statement. You must be knowing what you are saying. Since you say the answer is simple, please clarify.

Regards,

basudeba

Dear Sridattadev,

Thanks for presenting your essay and pleased to see you here. I have down loaded your essay and make comments on it after reading it. Meanwhile you too, please, go through my essay and send your comments.

As usual, I wish you best of luck in the competition.

    Dear Sreenath,

    I wish you all the best in sharing your perspective of the reality with the rest of us all.

    Love,

    Sridattadev.

    Dear Sir,

    It is no reply, because it is a self-contradictory statement. Even Veda says "Neti-neti", meaning it cannot be fully explained. Why don't you admit your ignorance and refrain from showing off your "vast knowledge"? It is bringing a bad name to our Shastras.

    Regards,

    basudeba

    Dear Sridattadev,

    I read your enchanting essay. In my essay, if the word 'mind' is replaced by 'Atman' in your essay then we are on the same plane travelling to reach our preordained destination, The Absolute or The 'Brahman'. And I know that you are yearning for that.

    warmest regards,

    sreenath.

    Dear basudeba,

    You are right, this absolute state can not be explained in words or theories. We as humans are gifted to enjoy this blissful absolute state if we so choose to. That is all trying to convey to the beings of my kind, that we are all capable of and enjoying the divinity or absolute equilibrium with in our self. Shastras or not for any particular ethnicity or religious group, they are a scientific theories from a different time. To think that you belong to a particular sect is to limit your consciousness, to know that we are all the same irrespective of religion, region, race, even though from different place and time is to expand your consciousness to the universal consciousness.

    We are all free to choose on how we want to perceive the world, and that is the absolute beauty of the conscience or will. I wish you all the best in what ever you are trying to convey to the scientific world. All I have to share is self realization.

    Love,

    Sridattadev.

    Dear Sreenath,

    Yes indeed and I want all of our kind to yearn for and enjoy this divine equilibrium or singularity with in the self.

    Love,

    Sridattadev.

    Dear Sir,

    We are not "free to choose on how we want to perceive the world". We must see through our eyes and hear through our ears. We must see white as white and red as red, otherwise, there is some defect in the functioning of our eyes. In essence, the self observes or witnesses reality "as it is", and not "as we want to perceive". If we want to perceive ourselves like a donkey, we may emulate like a donkey, but our self will not become a donkey, because it is immutable.

    Self being immutable, its realization also cannot be shared, it has to be experienced. Sharing means dividing something into parts. This is impossible for self or its realization. You may see something and tell others to see it, but you cannot make them see it. They have to see for themselves. As the Mundaka Upanishad says: "naayamaatmaa ...." etc., which means, self cannot be realized through discourse, intellect, or reading and listening to others. Only if one relentlessly pursue it, the self reveals itself to him. So, you even do not see it. It reveals itself to you when it blesses you. Then how can you share it with others?

    The same Upanishad also says: The fools think that they know everything and declare themselves as knowledgeable. But it is like one blind man offering other blind men to show the way. When you are trying to link shastras to science without understanding it, and showing off your "knowledge" to others, you are doing just that. As you can see, none of what you see is correct. This way you are demeaning shastras that hurts us. Hence please talk either about shastras if you have studied it properly (the answer is obviously no) or talk only about the science you have read without linking it to shastras.

    Regards,

    basudeba

    Dear basudeba,

    You are absolutely right about self being immutable, there is only one absolute self or singularity in the universe. We are all just different manifestations of the same self. What I meant was to share the "joy" of self realization and that is the purpose of human being to enjoy the self.

    I know nothing but thy self and that knowing is absolutely blissful.

    Love,

    Sridattadev.

    Dear Sir,

    Once again you have made wrong statements.

    If you know or realized self, you would not be writing here. There is no need for you to. Because everything we do is need based. If you realize self, you will have no need. Hence you will not get involved in these transitory mundane affairs. But since you are trying to show off your knowledge of the Shastras, it shows that you have not realized self nor know anything about it.

    Realization of self leads to "Anand". Once you reach that state, you will not want to do anything, because that will change your state from "Anand" to misery. Hence you cannot share the joys of self-realization. Please stop this showmanship and concentrate on the self, so that someday you may be blessed.

    Regards.

    Dear Sridattadev,

    I will rate your essay soon.

    Wishing you all the best in the contest.

    Sincerely,

    Sreenath.

    Dear basudeba,

    Thank you for your best wishes and you are right about the "Anand". Yes I am still in the transitory state and still trying to attain that absolute Anandam and I will stop writing when I do and that could be what is expected of this body and mind to convey this message till then, that we should all strive for that absolute Anand. Even the pursuit of attaining the absolute is also Anand.

    Love,

    Sridattadev.
