Existence and Non-existence

 There is a Vedic doctrine of 'sadaasadameva agra aaseet, meaning, "In the beginning there was 'Existence' as well as 'Non-existence'". This may seem a little absurd since there cannot be Existence as well as Non-existence at the same time. But the Veda is the ultimate| Yes. the Veda asserts that there was something that existed, but not perceptible enough to the naked eyes! Everything exists in a state of 'almost non=existence since these objects have a subtler form that cannot be perceived by naked eyes. Water vapor is one such example. Ice is a gross solid form of the almost-invisible water vapor. Water is the liquid form of the condensed water vapor. The clouds precipitate rain at dew point. To extend this line of thinking, the impregnated egg cell grows into embryo and the offspring is delivered. 

  The imperceptible or the invisible state does not negate the 'Existence'. It only implies the limitation of our experiences. It narrates how our senses, mind, intellect, knowledge, etc. are all subject to limitations. This limitation, niyati, or illusory nature, or the changing nature of the material world (subject to time, space, and causality) is 'Maya'. If the perceptible world is illusory, subject to limitations, the question arises as to what is the reality, the true nature of 'Existence'? The answer is 'brahmn'. 'Brahmn' is the only truth (sada)| All else are Untruth (asada). Bothe these existed in the beginning just as the Light and darkness. Light existed, but not visible in the dark like the stars in the dark space (akasha). There is darkness until the Sun rises in the morning. This is as simple as this. We are all ignorant until knowledge dawns on us. Knowledge, Light, Truth only exists, but is covered by Darkness, Ignorance, and Untruth, respectively. One has to strive to unearth, discover (uncover), realize the 'sat', the Truth. sat, the Truth, is 'brahmn.  '' is the beginning as well as the end. It is 'AUM (OM). One should meditate on Om (the taraka).. 

  'Brahmn' is pure consciousness, 'samyak-prajnya'. Everything is 'brahmn'. The material world is revealed only by 'brahmn', pure consciousness. Everybody is bestowed with a minute portion of the all-pervasive concsiousness (Vihnu). The entire universe is encompassed by Pure- Consciousness. sarvam khaluvidam brahmaa. 'Brahmn' is truth, and all that manifests out of 'brahmn' is ever-changing, hence the 'Un-truth'| One whomeditates on 'brhmn' realizes the Truth. Hence, meditate on 'brhmn' and enjoy pure bliss. The highest one can enjoy is this Supreme Bliss, mahat-ananada.
