The Source be With You
MANI BHAUMIK
|
Some feel that religion and spirituality are nothing more than superstition. But why throw the baby out with the bathwater? Everything comes from one source but we can't communicate with that. So, we came up with this idea of having icons we can relate to; behind them was a bigger, deeper meaning. But over time, we forgot about the Source. Nature and creator comprise wholeness, the essence of spirituality .How would you define God?
In two words: creator and sustainer. We need a new name for God; I call it the Source, but I suppose it's not catchy . The Source is in microcosm; it is intimately connected with our being. A single cell has all the material to make trillions of cells that your body requires.And it is all developed from a single cell and that blueprint continues to be in that cell. So is the universe, the blueprint of everything, which was there when the universe started -it is still present in the universe.
Is consciousness quantifiable? Scientists have no clue where consciousness comes from.I'm aware of you and you're aware of me. You may experience it but that's not science.We have no scientifically established idea of consciousness.There is another school -to which I belong -which says consciousness is an inbuilt quality of awareness.
It's the self-interaction capability . The brain commandeers that universal potential, `aham bhramasmi' (`I'm part of Brahmn'). We don't have an instrument to measure consciousness, but we can measure its physiological manifestation.
