The 'Core' of the Substance

   Every object is said to be rooted in some invisible powerful source of 'Energy'. This source of Energy for all practical purposes is the Sun since our existence in this solar system is based on the Sun as a Star. There is a powerful mantra (formula) that sums up this: Om | Ghruni surya Adityah | This is a powerful mantra of eight letter mantra (ashtakshari). This mantra clearly says that Aditya or Narayana, eulogized in the Rk Veda as the sole God (Eko devah narayanah |), is behind the Sun (surya) whose radiant energy is 'Ghruni' (rays/rashmi). Everything, moving or non-moving (chara achara) on this planet earth, is governed by this energy (solar energy) and this is constant (k). The electromagnetic waves that contain Light, Intelligence, Force and Energy (LIFE) along with a number of other inisible powerful 'forces' / shakti such as 'power of attraction' as magnetism, life-force (pranic energy) or the vital airs, thought-forces (thoughtrons), chronons (Time particles), hodons  (Space particles), knowledge (chit/jnyan), Information as in the DNA and RNA chains, creative power, and ability to transform objects (KITKAT), and the subatomic particles like the fermions,bosons, photons, etc. as well as all the known elements (and many an unknown ones, too ?) exist in this broad band of spectrum. But, we know very little of the spectrum except, say, from the ultraviolet (UV) at the one end to the Infrared rays at the other. Besides the known rays of radiation, there exist many an unknown factors that govern this universe; its structure and composition fits into one single plan! Now that the scientists have diagnosed, dissected and disseminated information about the subatomic particles like the bosons and the fermions we may deduce certain interesting facts about the humans who constitute a link in the chain- Lagrangian String (L). 

   When it comes to the Homo sapiens, the humans have evolved only from the state of 'Erectus' (Pithecanthropus erectus) to 'Habilus' (pithecanthrapus habilus) and not much! There is yet to evolve! One can evolve in 'Consciousness' to almost Eternity, Infinity since every human has an innate capacity to expand to the highest level of 'unity consciousness' (samyak-prajnya) where the differences are ironed out and differentiation ceases to exist. The state of existence at that level may be said to be 'the Buddha', 'nirvana', or one of total conscious awareness. It must be clearly understood that the buddha is not any person, but the state of highest consciousness, and many like Prince Goutama or Siddharta, Paramartha Samudgata, Nagarjuna, might have attained! It is said that there were almost five enlightened should of the Buddha order and five hundred of the Mahavira order in the small villages of Bihar 2500 years ago! We do not understand this concept of 'Enlightenment' unless we attain that state and, the tragedy is that we do not exist as 'an other' to experience it since we are merged in 'That', Immortal Self. In the Bhagavad-Gita this is explained as "Om tat sat iti". "That's it". This is the reality (of existence); everything else is just a certain level of existence, or level of consciousness (from the basal plexus or muladhara to the highest sahasrar as enunciated in the Yoga Texts.

   All these 'powers that be' are symbolically presented as billions of gods and goddesses (devi-devata) in the scriptures. These are shown as shown as female deities since power or shakti is considered to be feminine. The names and forms with numerous hands, signs mudra), and armaments are indicative of the powers of the deity. These are beautifully explained in Soundarya lahari, Durga saptashati,  Sharada Chatushati, Lalita sahasranama, etc. Symbolism is very important in the Vedic literature and almost all the scholars have failed here. There are many dummy syllables, words that convey nothing but bring symmetry; there are root syllables (bijakshara mantra) that speak volumes. Similarly, the very human anatomy and physiology are designed by these sounds of the sacred syllables from the Samskruta varnamala (Alphabets). Since all the languages may it be Latin, Persian, Samskrutam (we do not use the anglicized Sans krit which gives a wrong meaning altogether and unfortunately came to us by mindless usage)tor English have the same source in the human body (breath), and same principles govern their origin and change over time and space. This takes us to the science of Srividya where Devi Sharadamba is the Matrika or vaak devi (Divine Mother of Speech).

   Thus what we understand and speak in verbal form have very little significance than what we visualize in our state of transcendental meditation and samadhi.

   We have to reach the core of the substance in order to understand clearly what appears on the surface. It may not be possible in one life since much of our time is occupied in sport. Not much is left if we exclude the time we spend in childhood, learning some trade for a livelihood, sleep, and entertainment. Hence, it is tall order to expect the common people to be interested in this search. However, it suffices to state that "everything that we search for in the outer world in material science, in the objective world exists within us. The core of the substance, the soul (Atman) is vedavidu (sarvajnya) and, as such, knows all! One may have to brush up, remember (abhjnyan) by taking recourse to dhyana  (contemplation), dharana (steadfastness in thought), samadhi (transcendental meditation) to reach there. Many great saints have done that and anybody can do it, if one 'wills it' or desires to reach higher state of existence.
