The universe consists of trillions and trillions of stars spread out in millions of galaxies. The farthest Star is a giant 13 Billion Light Years away located by a powerful telescope recently. compared to some giants, our Sun is a moderate sized one and its planets and some of their satellites are not even of the size of small sand grains on a beach! A million earth-sized planets can be accommodated on the sun and the earth has come out of the solar flares, cooled and condensed, subsequently as just mass of energy in condensed form.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; as such the universe has always been in existence. However, what all consists of parts are bound to be separated! This disintegration need not be taken as dissolution, but a transformation. As regards the sustenance of the universe, it is sustained by its own energy and forces. Thus, the ancient sages came to conclusion the Brahman is sat. It is 'cit' (energy, consciousness, jnyan and fire/agni. The ancient sages needed no powerful telescopes to visualize the universe. They realized the universe within in a state of samprajnya samadhi. Anybody could do that any time anywhere. Even today, there are sages who visualize things within their vast mind screen. after all, what all we see or remember is on the mind screen only.
The jivatman, concise, atomised, or concretized in an earthen shell (panchabhuta shareera), bound by limitations such as time, space and causality cannot visualize what is beyond its senses and intellect. However, the Atma that has no limitations can visualize itself in its unbound space-time continuum and needs no proof for its experience. Thus the jivatman is capable of taking a journey across the universe in its transcendental state.
