Whole (पूर्ण)

 Whole (पूर्ण) 

There are trillions of galaxies in this universe/s. The theory of beginning with Big Bang (cosmic bomb explosion) and its expanding and probable ending with pulling it back with the Big Crunch, there is fine tuning on the earth where we and other creatures exist, watch and review this creation mystery and are searching for its creator. 

Can this be accidental? 

Life on this earth itself is less than 1 chance in trillions. The scientific research of searching for the building blocks of the universe leads towards the direction of creation from nothing which the Buddha, Vedanta, Biblical, Islam and others are telling since ancient time. 

If there is bigining, there is creator, the designer. Einstein called the genius behind the universe “an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection.” He is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. 

There is language in life. Molecular biologists have discovered intricately complex design in the microscopic world of DNA. The DNA is the “brains” behind each cell in our bodies as well as every other living thing. A mere pinhead of DNA contains infinite information and DNA operates like a language with its own extremely complex software code; far, far more complex than any software we have ever developed. 

Is DNA his fingerprint? 

Think of the intelligence behind the coding of the DNA. The software of the DNA leads to its creator. 

Without him, how could I write and communicate and you read and understand? May call him चैतन्य, awareness, consciousness, but the creator is there as omniscient, omnipotent and omnipotent; present as the visible expression of the invisible. 

Gita calls it the facets of the divine. ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूतः सनातनः। मन:षष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति ||

(BG. 15.7). The embodied souls (जीव) and elements (भूत) in this world (जीवलोक) are my eternal facets. But bound by material nature, they are struggling with the six senses including the mind. Here, Gita talks about the individual self (limited I) which is bound by nature to display itself in limits of the instrument (physical body) but the projector has no limitations. Oxygen is a life line for each individual but thr diatomic oxygen as an element is plentiful. Similarly, the Chaitanya/Awareness within us looks limited to our ego but Brihadaranyaka Upnishad explains it as a whole ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते। पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते॥That is full, this is also full, from fullness comes that fullness, taking fullness from fullness, fullness indeed remains. Each of us is whole, eternal. 

Neither we born nor die. We as चैतन्य are eternal. Stay on this true identity. The Whole, one without second, अद्वैत.
