Knowledge of 'Within' and 'Without'

In the beginningless beginning, there was neither in nor out, neither a 'within', nor a 'without'. In fact, before we constructed our house on a plot of land, there was no 'in' or 'out' and everything was open! Even after the house is constructed it is all open if the walls are dismantled! So also, emptiness within an earthen pot and its outside! Also, a person can experience this state of emptiness, openness, ' and the 'nothingess' in samadhi, This requires regular practice of transcendental meditation. This state of gross physical existence was not there before i built up my cells and tissues, organs and body within my mother's womb. body from the state of a an invisible 'spermatozoa', there was nothing as such!. Everything was in a state of flux, 'it is' and 'it is not' and we could not say anything for sure. The doctors cannot confirm pregnancy unless they are sure.The invisible subtler state of existence can be experienced in subtler transcendental state of mind in yoga.

  "Behind the finite, the relative and the mortal and the evanescent, there is the finite, the absolute, and the changeless and the immortal." Reality as revealed by the sciences, philosophy and religion is satisfying in itself, but being partial, it is incomplete knowledge. Fragmented, conditional, and finite as it is, the scientific and the rational, and the objective cannot be independent of something more rational, satisfying and complete. This is the break-point. Whoever has realized the unity of existence, one who has realized the 'One behind the many' and has crossed the impasse has realized 'the Truth'.

   If there is a technique or method that would help man to break this impasse, take him to the  infinite and reveal him to the 'totality of knowledge', ie. by "knowing that he will be able to know everything else" .

  The universe of experience certainly must have a 'within'. What is the approach to know this 'within? The scientists have been searching for long this ultimate reality. The knowledge attained so far has not provided the complete answer. It has not solved the mystery of nature. It has solved the mystery of man. Modern science has only touched the fringe of matter, the tip of the iceberg.  Eddington, in his book- "Space Time, Gravitation" has expressed his opinion that "All through the physical world runs that 'unknown content' which must surely be the stuff of our consciousness". It lies deep within the world of physics, and yet unattainable by the methods of physics. In other words, "co-extensive with  their "without" there is a "within" to things.

   But, the jnyanis who are  spiritually attained, unlike the scientists who deal in gross matter, have realized this 'Truth' by the easy path, yoga. The ancient sages, rather, anybody for that matter, if one so desires, anybody, for that matter, can visualize, experience, feel the Self now and here! Anybody for that matter can not only visualize this within but can live and experience this- immortality, oneness, this 'nothingness', as the 'all-knowing' and possessing everything! "Atma knows all" is the Vedic doctrine. One can take to yoga and attain to this state in samadhi. Bhagavan Shree Krishna as Yogacharya shows the way in Bhagavad-Gita..
