Energy and consciousness are the parents of time and matter. A reflection on the Bhagavad Gita and Adi Shankaracharya on why you are not travelling through time — time is travelling through you.
Calls to Krishna Consciousness: Part 2
Call to Krishna by Meera
Meera called Krishna, not out of distress, pain, or emergency. Meera’s call to Krishna is purely a call of longing, a call of a yearning soul towards the ultimate soul.
In India, a famous bhajan says, “Kaun kehta hai bhagwan aate nahin, tum Meera ke jaise bulaate nahin.” This bhajan itself depicts that the purity of the call, the purity of the longing, is the true factor that compels universal consciousness to leave its settled form and present itself in an earthlier form to answer the call of Meera.
Meera’s call is a higher call, purer than the call of an elephant or call of draupadi.
When we realize the absurdity of human illusions and totally devote ourselves to the ultimate consciousness, only then do we become eligible to create a call like Meera’s.
Meera’s call can happen in our lives, only when we are able to realize true love. Whenever our rational, logical faculties stop and our emotional, soul-driven voice awakens, an instant connection between our ‘pious child-like psyche’ and the ‘highest intelligence’ gets established.
In Meera’s call, there is no ego, no craving for safety or gain. Meera’s call is a call of a detached soul in a child-like state. It is a call of Bhakti Marg.
I remember when I was small, there was a very humble carpenter whose house was near my house in the village. I always got the vibe that this carpenter was a very simple, pleasant, and unbiased human being.
When I grew up and became an engineer, I visited my village and met that carpenter, who had grown so old. I asked him, “Baba, what do you want in your life?” He simply answered, “I don’t want anything, but I just want that Saraswati always remains present on my tongue so that what I speak can be beneficial for others.”
I have met hundreds of carpenters and other persons in rural India during my job, but I never felt that simplicity. We all meet such people in our lives. They all belong to the club of Meera. They all have that innate or attained capability to call universal consciousness directly.
Call to Krishna by Radha
In Indian cultural literature, Radha is a very much worshipped, very much analysed, yet very less understood figure.
Radha loved Krishna, and Krishna loved Radha. In philosophical terms, the universal material always loves universal energy, and their union creates the universe itself.
In the writings of Rakshan and Surdas, the true, pure, selfless love of Radha and Krishna is very beautifully depicted. Radha’s call to Krishna is a silent call, the highest order of remembrance possible by any human or divine being towards the ultimate reality.
Radha knew that Krishna had left her for the pursuit of higher goals, yet her love remained undiminished. Her questions were there, but the quest for answers did not pollute her love.
This is the reason that Radha is as much worshipped as Krishna now. In fact, in North India, Radha’s name comes first; it is Radha Krishna.
Radha’s call is a call of total sacrifice, total absolute self-subsuming call for the love of God.
It is very tough to describe and analyse the nature of Radha’s call to Krishna because, for simple ordinary humans like me, it is not possible to comprehend the psychological setup of a being like Radha.
Radha is in constant love with Krishna, constantly seeking Krishna, but she knows with finality that in the current reality, Krishna cannot come to her.
This is the highest order of love, where you are assured that your longing will not be fulfilled. Yet You long for your love with purity, completeness, and without any remorse or sadness.
This is just love, nothing else. Radha’s call is as marvellous and unexplainable as the concept of singularity in physics. Radha’s call is beyond logic and even beyond emotions. It is something higher.
This article cannot be completed truly by me, because comprehending Radha’s call requires a true realization of the call of an elephant, the call of draupadi, and the call of Meera. The writer humbly accepts that he has not experienced the true nature of any of those calls.
In this 21st century, we think that we are unravelling the mysteries of science and the mind. But this has also collectively enhanced our ego—the ego of knowing so much, the ego of discarding the adjustments of ultimate reality.
For the past three thousand years, the pure minds of humanity, be it Socrates, Aristotle, Shankaracharya, Jesus, Tao, or other philosophers, have all said that increasing knowledge must give us the ability to see “how much we do not know”. Once we see from that lens, our scientific progress starts reducing our ego. As much as we start knowing, we also start knowing the degree of the unknown.
All four calls described above do not fit logically in the fabric of science and technology, but they do exist in each of our lives. They are very much fit in the fabric of the soul and heart.

Calls to Krishna consciousness:: part 1
Calls to Krishna consciousness:: In Indian cultural literature and anecdotes four types of calls to universal consciousness are mentioned. They all bear very important resemblance with human life and our own contininous/discreet calls to Krishna/Supreme/God/Consciousness/ultimate . Call of the elephant “An elephant. The mighty ruler of forest , while crossing a small rivulet , meets a crocodile . crocodile grabs his foot and no matter what elephant do , elephant cant come out of the grip , elephant in his own wisdom and capabilities of mind , calls to Krishna . A pure call for help from the ultimate. Krishna helps and elephant becomes free” This simple anecdote have very deep meanings. who is the elephant ? he is a very powerful fellow . in all his contingency plannings , imaginations of challenges , he would have thought of thousands of problems , but never about “being over powered” . After all he is the mightiest, most powerful , massive . In our life, when we gain power , we acquire pelf , we feel strongest , we feel in super control…our ego swells more than the elephant . we feel that nothing can bog us down. in that super control situation, random event may happen which can challenge our very own existence . A black swan event ( some accident , some random incurable disease , or anything ) . What do we do then ? Even most atheist of a man, starts pleading to the Krishna / supreme consciousness . Most amusing part is that, what happens after elephant comes out of the grip of the crocodile . Here elephants usually outsmart humans. They learn and become cautious . they stop going carelessly from that rivulet or they find some safer path . But in the case of humans , even if Krishna saves us , most of us go back to same rivulet , to same crocodile , in same situation . We can see this folly everywhere. Few learn from mistakes , fewer learn from blunders . Call of Draupadi: So the literature goes like this : “Queen Draupadi , after being put on a bet by her husband Yudhistir ‘the Dharmaraj’ ( one who is hallmark of righteousness ) , is lost to Kauravas in a game of gamble . Draupadi , who was luckiest among the females , had mightiest husbands ( The BHIMA , the Arjuna , the Yudhistir , best warrior , best archer , most righteous ) , suddenly faces a great tragedy . one among the Kauravas , dushashan ( bad ruler ) starts removing her cloths and tries to make her naked in front of whole congregation ( millions gathered for this gamble game between Kauravas and Pandavas ) . Draupadi is different from the elephant . elephant made a mistake of considering crocodile’s power very insignificant and he had lot of ego on his strength . elephant was not reliant on others . Draupadi on the other hand made no mistake on her own . She was not the sinner . Her husbands made the mistake . her trust was on her husbands that they will fight for her honor . she even trusted hundreds of ethical court members who were supposed to stop this heinous doing of dushashana . BUT , when all individuals failed , when all institutions failed in protecting her , when the most powerful duty bounded lost , when persons with highest integrity failed to rise to stop evil………..she called KRISHNA . KRISHNA, the supreme consciousness , intervened indirectly and saved her honor by giving her cloths an infinite length . He could have killed dushashna by a simple intention (after all the ultimate consciousness he is ) . but he chose to intervene in a subtle manner. In our life also, when we have to pay for others mistakes , and we find that no one is coming to raise voice against explicit injustice , what we do ? What even the most of the atheist did in concentration camps of Najis? or what a simple man does in a totalitarian regime , where every institution fails ?? We call Krishna , societies call Krishna …..and as Krishna wrote that “ when righteousness itself get maligned , I conjure myself to reinstall dharma” Rest two calls in next part ………….call of meera and call of radha
Opportunity cost of Good : the universal justice system
Opportunity cost of good :::::
In the court of God one thing is different from earthly justice system . In earth we just have to pay for the ” wrongs we have done ” , ” the actions which were not right ” . In the court of God we also have to pay for ” right which we hadn’t done ” , “action which we could have took but we decided not to ” , “inaction which is not legally wrong but which allowed injustice ” .
Everytime we ignore ” a man in pain ” , ” a kid with hunger ” , ” a beggar living in destitution ” we become a criminal in the eyes of eternal magistrate . There was a reason Christ became ready to donate even his flesh for the hungry . And there is a reason that he is alive even after 2017 years of his death , and we are dead to world even being alive .
Time is to widen our conscience . To understand that we are not a mere captive of evolution which binds us to be a organism seeking its own survival . We must understand the existence of God with in . The goodness , the light which by its very existence is a counter to darkness .
It’s the time that we take the onus of building a better humanity by serving the humans . What all we have ( body , soul , intellect , money , material ) is a tool given by supreme authority to us , for only one objective :: i.e to do good for others .
We all are ( good men ) pursuing prestige , a place in history , but we forget this simple rule that only those who have given and not taken are in good books of history .
From lord Ram to Buddha to Christ to Vinci to Milton to Copernicus to Gandhi to Mandela :: all those who inspire us have given there whole for humanity and thus they have completed there task and got a permanent place in the liquid wall of time where billions ( of men ) with billions ( of dollars ) have perished without a single man remembering them .
Tears of Buddha:::Part–Two…(Theory of Nothing)
Old Indians expalined “theory of EVERYTHING”, sucessfully because they explained the roots of ” NOTHING”
Salvation “MOKSHA” is also a form of “State of NOTHINGNESS” , a form of EXISTENCE which renders NON-EXISTENCE.
Being nothing or non-existent doesnt mean extinguishing yourselve or annihilating yourselve, in Fact it means , such an equilibriamized co-existence with Ether (Universe/nature) that it becomes impossible to distinguish one from nature.
Its like being in exact resonance with natural forces and entities.
Its like being Green in a Green environment.
its like being a drop in the ocean, which is a part of ocean’s existence but to mark its own existence is almost possible.
To achieve state of Nothingness , One should initiate process of “psycho emotional detachment” while maintaining “Psycho-emotional” affection and love.
sentence seems contradictory in itself, but thats the Tricky part—“”ANASAKTI KARMYOGA”——“”Affection or attachment with worldly affairs while disallowing “enslavement” from those affairs.
Theory of nothing is important for “theory of evrything” exactly in same way as defining “zero” is imperative to define “Infinity”.
………to be continued.
Tears Of Buddha (part-1)
scholars generally deciphered Buddha’s philosophy as a method to get rid of earthly needs and material wealth.
Budhha’s enlightenment was not that much limited, its waves touched the shores of absolute vaccume , absolute freedom,undisputed selflessness.
Budhha not only inspired people to shift there focus from material to spiritual world, he even passed preachings related to rectification of spiritual world itself and also tried to show a middle and more meaningful way between materialistic and spiritual approaches.
BUDDHA’S GENERAL ACHIEVMENTS—-
Buddha gained peerless fame and unquantifiable faith which still sends tremors to sociologists and theologists.
his EDUCATION turned into ETHICS of millions and will exist till echleons.
Buddha’s relegion is one of largest in planet.
BUDDHA’S GRIEF—
Buddha wept when he found that lust to loose loving ones (salvation is also an addiction which in turn restricts progress to salvation) and surge to succeed in salvation is tantamount to enslavement of materialistic things.
Buddha was sure about his freedom from material world but he was skeptic about his ambition to reign spiritual world.
Psychological needs are heavier than physiological needs ………………….Abraham Maslow’s theory.
Buddha was also skeptic about finding a way to live in material world while maintaining spiritual supremacy and sacracy.
i want to share these words inscribed on osho’s grave—
“NEVER BORN , NEVER DIED, JUST VISITED PLANET EARTH”.
Someone mocked that earth does’t need visitors .
what imprtance your knowledge bears if it cant provide a solution to millions of famishing infants and can only feed the brains of Freudian twaddlers and pseudo-humanists .

MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED:::–>> PART 02
God is nothing but a universal mathematical function. as we know that there are many things which we term as “‘ random ness”,”chance”,”unpredictable” etc.
but in my opinion UNPREDICTABILITY is nothing but an ULTRA-COMPLEX PREDICTABILITY. if we have to explain a leaf’s path floating in wind , then many people will say it in terms of probability.
but if you know all pressure variations, minute gravity alterations , temperature gradients and air turbulence then our accuracy of prediction of path of leaf will increase.
it means as we increase the complexity of our analysis we tend towards more and more accurate picture of future.
one more thing is there that is term as ” QUANTUM -ENTANGLEMENT”—- IT SHOWS THE REVERSE OF ABOVE PROCESS.
IT IS BASED ON THE principle that world is a complex fabric of force and energy fields and mass is also a condensed energy form.
so every particle is related with other particles of universe.
ex– if any ball drops in new york then it will definitely create fluctuation in dull lake of india.
it may be too tough to calculate but if we have enough mathematical relations and calculating ability then we can predict each event , particle’s qualities just by analyzing one particle.
means if every particle acts as a device of infinite memory and we ca use data if we know that how this particle is affecting all other particles of universe .
means whole universe is a 3-D structure of dense mathematical functions in which each event &particle’s behaviour is related and able to effect all other particles of universe.
some people may say that faith is just a moral boosting kind of thing and it doesn’t have any direct physical effect.
but as in 1780 no one knew why plants create food and till 1920, even it was unknown that plants are living beings,, so a strong possibility exists that there may be some energy interactions or effects which we don’t know or can’t even imagine due to which faith may affect our physical world and may cure a desease .
so god is a relation , an argument, a mathematical function which can explain all these vague observations , which can relate all particle interactions and events of universe and make us enabled to predict whole world just by analyzing a single tiny particle.
