Indian philosophy and spirituality have always circled around the basic demeanour of an individual, namely ‘I’ feeling. ‘I’ feeling is the core that exists in every individual. It is through this ‘I’ a man projects himself to the world. ‘I’ is the base on which he places his mind.
‘I’ is where his personality lies.
All these doctrines, like Indian philosophy, spirituality and Astrology, have been developed for the personality enrichment of an individual; for making him tackle the hurdles of life and for providing him with the peace of mind.
Most of the masters have had been an individualistic approach, considering Man as the most essential phenomenon in this universe. They tried to study man and his exposure to the environ; the way he conceives life, the way he projects himself to the ever-changing circumstances and situations.
Indian spirituality defined the universe as the mere projections of an individual’s self. It put the question: ‘which is greater, the man or the universe?’
The masters found out that the universe is but the by-product of an individual mind. The universe exists only if a mind conceives or perceives it. And if a mind is unwilling to perceive it, then the universe is nonexistent, at least for that particular mind.
So, who is greater; man or the universe? Without a witness there is none to witness the universe with its plenty. When a man is dead the universe is nonexistent; at least for him. For every man his death kills his universe. So the universe for its existence is literally depending on human beings.
‘So individual ‘I’ is nurturing the universal ‘I’’, the masters say.
Shyamanna,
ReplyDeleteBut eternity exists, and through this stretch of time and space, "I"s will be created and destroyed for a looooong time, until we find the invisible dark force, pulling our galaxy.
Ber, you are right! But for whom eternity exists? For you... Without you, you can't say that eternity exists. Stress is on you not on what you perceive!
ReplyDeleteThink about the nonliving things. Think about the forces of nature. Think about the movement of all these through space. Their existence doesn't have to do anything with you or me. They will behave in their own way, whether you or me exist or doesn't exist. This is what I meant by Eternity. In the case of Psychosphere, what you said is true. "Stress is on you, not on what you perceive!"
