Center of the Universe.

The Universe, better known these  days as the Multiverse, is an unbounded space and nobody knows it vastness, depth or extent. It goes on and on as one travels outward in space. A number of video clippings about this are available. Now the most interesting point here is about the location of 'the center of the universe'. Where is it? The answer is similar to the question "Where is the point on the circle?" A series of points go to make a straight line or a circle (rectilinear?) as we know. The Center of the Circle lies as a point at the center, as the focus, or two foci (in the case of the wobbling Sun shifting its center ever 11000 years) of our solar system. Thus the point is everywhere! It is at the Center, along the radius, and all over the Circle, and at each location of the point connecting the other without a break to make a 360 Deg.?

   The most startling problem is "What is this Center, the central point, that connects all?" It is known here as the brahmn, the atman, the bhagavan, or simply, God. The Soul is the center of the Universe. It is like a point on the map that shifts according to the need of the reader of the map. It is like the stars in the vast night sky that twinkles wherever we see!

  Hitherto we were studying about Galileo's Geocentric theory and then, the Heliocentric theory of the Universe. Now, we come to "the Atman-brahmn Center of the Universe". Brahmn is the Center as well as the periphery. He is the Veda (Circle, also meaning, all-knowing) and vyasa (radius, connecting the periphery with the center) of the Universe. The entire Universe is thus, brahman; and, Atman is no different from brahman. Atma eva brahmaa | says the Veda. This is also what is known as ergo sum! So, I am. This is Shivo'ham or "I am Shiva". 

  What is the benefit of knowing this "Soul-Centric Theory" of the Universe, the omnipresent Center presenting us an insight into our own existence and its reality? It is the Realization of the Self, atma -sakshatkar. Once we come to know this, "I AM" or so'ham things become easy. We will discard the mundane existence on this mrutyu loka is either of no consequence, or of any significance and may try to realize brahmn within us. We will then realize the nature of our existence on this insignificant planet in the universe; and then, God willing, may we by His grace look to the meaning of our existence? Then,again, by yoga one may attain the 'Truth', the brahmn.
