The Blue Planet is my Heaven

The Blue Planet is my Heaven

NASA and other organisations in the world have spent billions of dollars on space sciences, research, space exploration and in various expeditions to the Moon, the Mars, the Venus, other planets, the Sun and the universe to explore the possibilities of life like the earth in this cosmos. Space telescopes Hubble and now JWST have brought out wonderful and shining pictures of the stars and galaxies. But none has found out a small thorny plant or a bush or a beautiful rose flower or a sign of life on those places till date. 

Hindu religion believes in the theory of rebirth, a cycle of births and deaths and a placement of an individual soul in heaven or hell depending upon his/her actions. Some have codified that those doing yagya, tapa, rituals may only find their place in the heaven as if the rest have to go to the hell. The major religions of Christianity and Islam don’t believe in rebirth, consider this life is the only chance to write examination in the examination hall of the Earth and based on individual’s performance the soul/spirit will get heaven or hell depending upon the judgement of the almighty on the day of judgement or kayamat. Does it mean that the non believers go to the hell? 

The human world believed in one life and was enjoying it within their strengths before Indian yogis brought the concept of immortality (अमृतं). The direction of purpose of life changed. We want to become immortal. It has changed the purpose of life on earth. 

Human brains have been exposed to so many things in 21st century with the inventions, discovering and knowledge generated by human brains, which is available free to all of us as a matter of right to knowledge. We must use them but simultaneously, can’t we explore the immortality? 

We are in one of the nicest places in the entire cosmos. This life is very very valuable. Earth has been given to us as the birthday gift by the almighty without any label. Do whatever we can, explore the life on earth instead of living in depression or in the state of hallucinations. 

The past can’t be changed, future is unknown, present is in our hand. Live in the present moment and use it at the best. The blue planet is our heaven. We don’t know the time line of our Visa, a call may come anytime to shut down. Therefore, not to miss a single moment of life without using it for the right purpose. 

Knowing the Self, the अखंड ज्योति, and use the life for the betterment of all may be the right purpose of life on earth. 

अंतरज्योतिर्बहिर्ज्योतिः प्रत्यक्षज्योतिः परात्परः 

ज्योतिर्ज्योतिः स्वयंज्योतिः आत्मज्योतिः शिवोस्म्याहम्॥

(~ मैं शुभ, आंतरिक प्रकाश और बाहरी प्रकाश, अन्तर्निहित प्रकाश, उच्चतम से भी ऊँचा, सभी प्रकाशों का प्रकाश, स्वयं-प्रकाशमान, वह प्रकाश हूँ जो आत्मा है।) (I am the auspicious one, the inner light, the outer light, the indwelling light higher than the highest, the light of the lights. I am self illuminated enlightened benevolent Shiva).

Stay blessed.
