I Am the Universe- aham brahmasmi |

Trillions of Stars in the galaxies of the multiverse.
The solar flares that caused the planets like our Earth 


The Position of Solar System in the Spiral Galaxy, Milky Way. We are just a miniscule!

The Black Hole that ultimately swallows everything! (kaalo'smi | says Bhagavan Shree Krishna in the Gita.
    When we look at the universe through the powerful electronic telescopes what we see is the images of the stars, galaxies and the sun. These images are sent by the eyes to the brain and reflected in our mind and presented on the mind-screen. So, what we see is not anywhere outside of us, but within us.This is made possible by the soul that creates and sustains the physical body. In fact, the physical body has no separate existence and depends on the life-force supported by the food and food is prana. annam brahmaa | Now, the physical body supported by annam and prana is just an accessory to what all one views, knows or understands and all these are within us. The physical body made of the five great elements (pancha mahabhuta) is the earthen pot that separate the within and the without. When this earthen pot is broken, there exists nothing separate as the outer and the inner! Everything is one only.
   The Brhma sutra that states 'akshi purusha' emphasizes the fact that the sun, the eyes and the soul are one! All that exists is the Knowledge, the 'vid', the knowledge of the Self. Atmai vedgm sarvam | Thus, Atman knows all. In fact, every individual acquires some knowledge and serves as a professional throughout his life. Hence everybody is known as a faculty (doctor, engineer, professor, advocate or judge and the like) only and no such thing exists at the beginning (in childhood) and end (old age)! Death destroys all that is presented as affixes and suffixes (qualifications). Who took birth, who lived through and who died is the question! All that appears on this earth has a beginning and an end. But the core of the substance that gives shape to body remains forever, often changing its form? 
    Now, the question where  is the universe and where is the jiva? The jivatman and the Paramatman are an eternal chain of Lagragian string just like the two points of the circle are merged at the same point in the circumference of the circle. This is also explicitly stated as the Veda and the vyasa. The point at the centre only expands to form the circle, bigger and bigger to encompass the universe. Thus the Jnyani declared aham brahmasmi !
   Contemplate on Brahman. "One who contemplates on brahman becomes brahman only" is the last sutra (verse 555) of the Brahm sutras.
