"Consciousness is Everything"

“Consciousness is everything”. prajnyanam brahma | sarvam khaluvidam brahmaa|

     The Upanishads explicitly stated, “It is not that, not that” (neti, neti). What all we see are mere qualities, attributes, not the real! All that we see are objects that come within the grip of vibration, maya, and limitations of time, space, and causality. Light travels and creates Time and Space and objects fill it. Since ‘Time” itself an illusion, ‘the space created by it as it moves’, and ‘the objects that fills it’ are also illusions.  The true nature, ‘Reality’, is different! It never changes, it is immutable.  Now, the modern scientists, too, have started talking in this very same tone. The latest research findings have confirmed the observations of the great sages on the principle of ‘oneness’ (Ekatvam) and ‘immutability’ (acyutam) - “the sub-atomic particles at the one end and the cosmos at the other as one continuum- anoraniyan mahato mahiyan | The fundamental principle is that the brahmanda (macro) and the andanda (micro) exist in a continuity as the two ends of an invisible thread- thick at the one end tapering off at the other, continuum, as explained in the Lagrangian String (L) theory. The scientists now say, “solid is not solid” and, “what we see as the phenomenal objective world as real, is not truly real”! Beyond the visible, there is an invisible, subtler, vibrant state, that is almost virtual,  a state of- ‘is there’ and ‘is there not’, rather, ‘exists’ (sada) and ‘exists not’ (asada/ non-existence), rather, an abstract state of almost ‘nothingness’, a dormant state of matter, manifesting as something!

    The Nasadiya sukta, of Rk Veda, Mandala X, has made this amply clear. Even the Purusha Sukta of the same Mandala has been confirmed by the scientists! The latest visuals from powerful telescopic cameras have revealed a large cloud of stellar gas spread out in the shape of a human! It is the massive cloud of stellar dust (‘Fermions’) that later condensed (Einstein-Bose Condensate) as ‘Bosons’ and Quarks. The primordial matter, called the ‘God particle’, majorana fermions (-ve) - is the crux of the problem. The fusion or fission (coalescence or clash) of matter and anti-matter that releases energy is at the root of all this secret of birth and death of stars and their planets. 

      Thus, it is very clear as to how the visible universe has come into existence from almost a state of ‘nothingness’ to ‘everything’- manifest from ‘nowhere’ to ‘now and here’! What we see or experience as the real world is, indeed, a movie of forms of vibration of energy, like the picture on a screen depicting a story. The form is created by Light, Fire, as stated in the Vedic statement- Rupa is the tanmatra of agni. The following study brings out these aspects of creation in detail. Modern research studies in ‘Matter’ cover the entire field of particle physics, quantum mechanics, wave theory, energy concept, gravitation theory, and the structure of the atom (ions) down to the fermions and bosons, as ‘God Particle’! Is this the ‘I’ principle based ‘on’ (foundation of awareness) or existence! It is the ‘ahanta’, a thought, an idea, feeling that “I am the body’. It is the avidya, a gross aspect (‘chit’- a particle of energy) of the Mind? 

     The most surprising fact is that the latest research findings in the fields of astronomy, physics, biology, and chemistry confirm the statements of our ancient sages. What the modern scientists have found out with the help of the electronic gadgets such as the telescopes, spectroscopes, microscopes has been actually visualized by these Sages of lore, these saints have actually realized the ‘truth’ in their yogic trance, ‘savikalpa-samadhi’, or Transcendental meditative state visualizing saguna brahmn. They have stated their experience in brief aphorisms like the mathematical formulae or the scientist’s equations! There is no contradiction, whatsoever, with the modern findings. In fact, what these sages (drushtara) have visualized are true for all times to come, whereas, the modern theories, hypotheses, postulations, and assumptions are subject to change! It is not the intention of the author here to make the text highly technical and difficult for common man to understand; however, making some of the doctrines that are depicted in highly esoteric symbolism cannot be made easy to understand in ordinary common language, for it will fail to convey the essence, ‘truth’. The ‘truth’ has to be realized by oneself in a ‘transcendental meditative state’, savikalpa samadhi, through yoga. The sadhaka can experience it. Whatever is experienced remains the individual’s own, inexplicable and cannot be put in words for the benefit of the others! Whatever one experiences as a ‘vision’ (darshan) by his/her own yogic effort cannot be questioned, too. Those who want similar experience will have to undertake similar practical yogic steps (ashtanga yoga). There are innumerable methods of experiencing the truth. Once a person experiences ‘sat’, ‘the truth’, there remains nothing to be proved.
