"Reality of Our Existence"

 Do we 'Really Exist'?

   This is a very important spiritual or, for that matter, a philosophical question. This is a question that is to be answered in a metaphysical or philosophical way. Only a person trained in yoga and a person who can attain yogic trance and visualized in transcendental state of samadhi can answer this. One can realize the true nature of our existence only when there is deeper quest as to the true nature of this materialistic world and the spiritual behind it. Spirit only beget matter.

  In the beginning, there was neither sada  nor asada, meaning existence or non-existence. This is Vedic statement. The rationalist may ask how can existence come out of n0n existence, rather, matter come out without anything prior to it! The answer is very simple. the term "Nothing' has got 'Thing' in it! Since matter is still unmanifest, exist in its majorana-fermi ionic state, it is not yet visible. The doubt occurs due to the unmanifest state. However, it is already there. Hence, the question of something coming out of nothing does not arise at all. An inquisitive mind should not rest at the initial material state, but should dive into the depth of unmanifest spiritual state by yogic practices. The invisible ''majorana fermions' materialize in gaseous, liquid, and solid states   and manifest as matter..

  This explanation applies to biological evolution, as well. Nothing is visible in the early state of impregnated spermatozoa and early embryonic state. It is only when the embryo grows into considerable size, the doctor can certify pregnancy. Thus, the entire biological evolution is very mysterious. Nothing is certain and everything is divine will. Again, it is the Lord Who said, "I Am Alone, I Shall Become Many" (Eko'ham bahusyam). 

 It is also clearly stated that, 'the Creator Enetred into Creation'. Creation appeared in diverse forms when the Supreme Lord desired.  It is said, "He Willed". It is His desire to manifest in different forms that the universe appeared in physical, chemical, and biological stated. It is the manifestation of Energy and Matter. So, everything is Energy'. E= mc2. Constant movement of the basic elements and their combinations cause the manifest world of diverse forms and functions. Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen and their interactions create all that we know as water, air, soil, food and life-forms. The Vedic statements are no different from this. The Five Great Elements- Space, Air, Fire, Water and earth are the basic Elements and their permutation and combination has created this vast universe.

 We all exist in Time and Space. This marks the limitation. Whatever come within limitations is no the 'Truth'. It is an illusion. The Mind is incapable of recognizing this! Only the a descrminatory Intellect, buddhi, can understand it. The sense try to experience whatever comes within their grasp as far as the intellect dictates. Thus, it is clear that everything has a mysterious beginning, however invisible or insignificant it might be!
