Dream as we compare

Dream as we compare

The other day we heard some one smilingly refer to poets as dreamers. Now it is accurate to refer to poets as dreamers but it is not discerning to infer as this person did, that the dreams of poets are just as practical as people who build bridges or look into microscopes as just as close to reality and truth . where they differ from the logician and scientist is in the temporal sense alone; they are ahead of their times. Where as logicians and scientist are abreast of there time. We must not be superficial that we fail to discern the practicality of dreams. Dreams are the sunrise streamers heralding a new day of scientific progress another forward surge. Every forward step man takes in any field of life is first taken along the dreamy paths of imagination. Robert Fulton did not discover his steamboat with full steam up, straining at a hawser at some Hudson River dock; first the dreamed the steamboat and then scientific wisdom converted a picture in the mind into a reality of steel and wood.

The automobile was not dug out of the ground like a nugget of gold; first men dreamed the automobile and afterwards the practical minded engineers caught up with what had been created by winging fantasy. He who looks deeply and with a seeing eye into the poetry of yesterday finds there all the cold scientific magic of today. If the poet does not dream so clearly that plot  of this vision can immediately be drawn and the practical conversions immediately effected, he must not for that reason be smiled upon as merely the mental host of a sort of harmless madness. For the poet, like the engineer, is a specialist. His being ruined to the life of tomorrow, cannot be turned simultaneously to the life of today. To the scientist, he says, “Here I give you a flash of the future”. The wise scientist thanks him an takes that flash of the future and makes it over into a fiber of today.

Sri Aurobindo’s Vision of Conscious Evolution

At the core of Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy lies the concept of the triple transformation of human consciousness—a revolutionary reinterpretation of the Upanishadic tradition through a life-affirming lens. In The Life Divine, Aurobindo challenges the traditional view of existence and consciousness as maya (illusion), proposing instead a path of evolution that integrates the psychic, spiritual, and supramental dimensions of consciousness.

For Aurobindo, life itself holds profound significance, offering the opportunity to align with Divine consciousness. He emphasizes the seeker’s role in refining their nature to become a channel for the descent of this higher consciousness. The transformative idea of the Divine supramental consciousness descending into the physical body gives Aurobindo’s philosophy an evolutionary thrust, suggesting that humanity is being pushed by nature to transcend its current physical and mental limitations.

Consciousness as the Evolutionary Force

Central to Aurobindo’s vision is the understanding of consciousness, not merely as awareness or a tool for perceiving reality but as a dynamic force—the “Force of Being.” For him, consciousness evolves, moving beyond the limits of the human mind toward a divine, universal dimension. Drawing parallels with Hegel’s philosophy, Aurobindo sees the phenomenal world as one dimension of universal consciousness, culminating in the Supermind. This Supermind represents the synthesis of all layers of consciousness and serves as the gateway for the descent of universal consciousness into the physical realm—the next step in humanity’s evolution.

Aurobindo describes this as a conscious unification: “the union of our soul of mind with universal mind, our soul of life with universal life, and our soul of body with universal physical existence.” Through this unification, consciousness becomes the bridge between matter and spirit, revealing the Divine essence inherent in all creation.

Chit Shakti and the Descent of Grace

Aurobindo’s concept of Chit Shakti—the dynamic energy of consciousness—highlights the interplay between the Spirit and matter. Consciousness reveals itself through the forms and processes of nature, urging seekers to experience this cosmic consciousness directly. This evolutionary impulse is not merely an abstract ideal but a tangible call to action for every seeker, driving humanity toward a deeper integration of spirit and matter.

Savitri: A Mythic Expression of Conscious Transformation

This transformative vision finds poetic expression in Aurobindo’s magnum opus, Savitri. He reinterprets the ancient Upanishadic tale of Savitri and Satyavan as an allegory of spiritual liberation from ignorance. In this story, Savitri becomes the embodiment of Divine Grace, whose unwavering focus enables her to conquer death, suffering, and ignorance, ultimately restoring Satyavan to life.

The tale symbolizes the individual soul’s ascent to higher dimensions of consciousness, culminating in a revelation of the material world as a manifestation of absolute consciousness. For Aurobindo, the inner guru, like Savitri, becomes a guiding force, enabling seekers to transcend mortality and experience life imbued with Divine purpose.

A New Meaning to Existence

Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy offers a profound reimagining of human existence, transforming it from a seemingly directionless journey into a purposeful evolution toward divinity. Through the descent of universal consciousness and the ascent of the individual soul, life becomes a theater of transformation rather than absurdity. This union of the finite and the infinite reveals a new meaning to the here and now, awakening humanity to its ultimate potential.

 

IF HE EXIST

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-

The Value of Time: Why Every Minute Counts

  The Value of Time: Why Every Minute Counts

 

Time is one of the most valuable resources you possess. Every hour consists of just 60 minutes, each one a coin in the currency of life. While you may own your time, its value diminishes if you fail to utilize it effectively. Each minute that slips away represents a lost opportunity, a chance that will never come back. Though you can pause your work, the relentless ticking of the clock never halts.

 

On your busiest days, the hours between sunrise and sunset can feel astonishingly short. Time seems to race past, leaving many tasks unfinished and dreams unpursued. Imagine each minute as a seed, one you must plant and nurture carefully. If you knew your survival depended on the harvest those seeds would yield next year, would you let even a single one go to waste? Certainly not. Likewise, your time requires mindful attention and purposeful action.

 

Every minute matters. If you fail to make the best use of them, you are the one who ultimately loses. To put this into perspective, let’s break down the average person’s lifetime: 

- About 33% of your minutes will be spent in bed, sleeping. 

- Another 8% will be spent eating at the dining table. 

- Around 27% of your time accounts for Sundays, holidays, and other breaks. 

- At least 5% is necessary for recreation to rejuvenate your mind and body. 

 

After accounting for these essentials, only  37% of your time remains for productive work. That’s a mere fraction of your life to build your dreams, achieve your goals, and create a meaningful legacy. 

This calculation highlights the undeniable importance of watching your minutes. No one else in the world can be the master of your time but you. Your choices and priorities determine how effectively you use your minutes. Every moment you invest in something meaningful is a step closer to a life well-lived.

Ask yourself: Are you mindful of how you spend your minutes? Are they aligned with your values, aspirations, and purpose? Reflect on this question often, because how you manage your minutes defines the quality of your life.

In the end, every minute truly counts. Whether you let it pass by unnoticed or seize it with intention is entirely up to you.

 Understanding the Concept of ‘Purush’

 

The term  Purush  holds profound philosophical significance and encompasses multiple layers of meaning. At its core, *Purush* represents the supreme cognitive faculty, the transcendental principle that underlies and governs existence. Let us explore the deeper meanings and implications of this concept. 

 

 The Quiescent Entity

The first meaning of  Purush  refers to the entity that remains quiescent within the psycho-physical framework of another. It acts as the silent observer, much like the head of a family who oversees the preparation for a wedding but does not directly engage in specific tasks. Similarly,  Purush  resides hidden within the physical body, enabling the organs to function under its will. Without the wish of this cognitive principle, no part of the body can act. 

 

 The Primordial Presence  

The second meaning of  Purush  is the entity that precedes all others. In this sense,  Purush  is the primordial cause of existence, the supreme reflecting principle— Param Purush . Early humans, with their undeveloped intellect, initially perceived natural phenomena such as rain, dawn, or crops as divine forces. Over time, as intellectual capacities evolved, they began to recognize *Param Purush* as the supreme cause of creation. 

 

Ancient thinkers debated the origin of the universe, attributing it variously to time, nature, fate, accident, or the five fundamental factors. Yet, as understanding deepened, it became evident that time is merely a mental construct, a measurement of motion or action. Without action, time ceases to exist; for instance, if the moon did not orbit the Earth, the concepts of days, months, or years would lose their meaning. Thus, time cannot be the original cause of creation. 

 

 Nature and Operative Principles

The search for the ultimate cause also raised the question: Could nature be the source of all creation? The answer lies in the relationship between  Prakriti  (nature) and  Purush . Prakriti , the operative principle, functions within the boundaries of freedom granted by  Purush . While  Prakriti  acts as the immanent power, it derives its existence and purpose from  Purush  the transcendental principle. In essence, Prakriti  is not independent and cannot be considered the ultimate cause of creation. 

 

The transformation of the universe is facilitated by *Prakriti*'s three fundamental principles, but it is neither the material nor the efficient cause of creation. Energy ( Shakti ), devoid of intellect ( Prajna ), is merely a blind and static force. Only when supported by the cognitive principle does it gain direction and purpose. 

 

 The Supreme Reflecting Principle  

The cognitive principle is both the material and efficient cause of creation. It is intricately linked to the creative force, shaping the flow of existence. However, the true essence lies beyond both cognition and operation. This ultimate entity is the unmanifested  Supreme Cognition , also known as the  Supreme Reflecting Principle . 

 

As one traverses the path of synthesis toward the One, it becomes evident that the mutable ( Kshara ) and immutable ( Akshara ) emanate from the unmanifested ( Nirakshara ) Supreme Cognition. This unmanifested cognition, transcending all dualities and manifestations, is the true essence of  Purush —the eternal and infinite source of all creation. 

 

In conclusion,  Purush  symbolizes the supreme consciousness that governs existence, providing both direction and purpose to the universe. It is the silent observer, the primordial cause, and the ultimate reality that underlies all creation.

Your True Worth: Unshaken by Life's Challenges

   Your True Worth: Unshaken by Life's Challenges

At a seminar, a well-known speaker held up a crisp Rs 1000 note in front of his audience and posed a simple question, “Who would like to have this Rs 1000 note?” As expected, hands shot up around the room, eager to claim it. But instead of giving it away, the speaker began a small demonstration.

First, he crumpled the note into a tight ball, crushing it in his hands. Then, he held it up again and asked, “Who still wants it now?” The audience was undeterred; hands remained raised. The speaker continued, “Alright, but what if I do this?” He dropped the note on the ground and stepped on it, pressing it firmly under his shoe, grinding it into the floor. After picking it up, the once-crisp bill was now wrinkled, dirty, and tarnished. Yet, when he asked the crowd, “Who still wants it?” the hands remained in the air, unwavering.

With a gentle smile, the speaker began to explain the lesson behind his actions. “What you’ve just witnessed is a powerful reminder of something we often forget. No matter what I did to this note, you still wanted it because its value did not decrease. Despite being crushed, dirtied, and even ground into the floor, it’s still worth Rs 1000.”

He paused, looking around the room as he continued, “Many times in life, we face moments that make us feel like this note. We make choices, face challenges, and sometimes suffer consequences that leave us feeling as though we’ve been trampled underfoot, robbed of our worth. Circumstances and setbacks come along that might make us feel rejected, devalued, or unworthy. But remember this—your true worth isn’t defined by your circumstances, your mistakes, or even what others think of you. Your intrinsic value is something that can never be diminished.”

 

The speaker’s words touched a universal truth. In life, it’s easy to equate our self-worth with our achievements, relationships, or even with mistakes and hardships that may feel overwhelming. However, just as the note’s worth wasn’t altered, neither is our inherent value as individuals. We may feel bruised and battered at times, but our significance remains constant.

 

“In the eyes of those who truly care about you, and in the eyes of the Divine,” the speaker went on, “you are priceless, no matter what. Clean or tarnished, whole or broken, you are irreplaceable. We need to remind ourselves that our worth does not fluctuate with the highs and lows of life. We are valuable simply because of who we are.”

 

With that closing message, the speaker left his audience with an empowering reminder. Just as they had raised their hands again and again, recognizing the unchanging worth of that Rs 1000 note, they too could learn to see and honor their own unwavering value.

 

Life may bring its share of struggles and setbacks. But through it all, remember: you are special—unique, worthy, and resilient. Embrace your value, for it is something that no circumstance, challenge, or decision can ever take away.

 BlissTech: The Science of Hormonal Harmony in the Pursuit of Inner Peace

In an age where technological advancements seem limitless, human biology remains steadfast. Our bodies and minds today bear remarkable similarity to our ancestors from 1,000, 10,000, or even 100,000 years ago. Despite these shared foundations, our understanding of biology has grown immensely, revealing the hidden potential of managing our inner chemical states. This intersection of science, spirituality, and technology has led to a new field: *BlissTech*, a study devoted to creating systems that help people achieve sustained states of bliss by understanding and balancing the body's hormonal processes.

 

At the core of BlissTech is the concept of hormone management. Hormones, our body’s chemical messengers, dictate how we think, feel, and act. They influence everything from our emotions to our behaviors and perceptions, guiding us through life in response to both external stimuli and our own internal narratives.

 

Humans naturally gravitate toward actions and information that promise pleasure and reward, driven largely by hormones like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. This intrinsic motivation system is embedded within everything we do—even the media we consume. Take, for instance, the cliffhanger endings of TV episodes. These moments create tension, engaging our emotions and triggering stress hormones like adrenaline. At the same time, dopamine surges in anticipation of resolution. This controlled interplay of chemicals keeps audiences hooked, eagerly awaiting the next episode.

 

BlissTech recognizes that our daily experiences create unique hormonal profiles. Different life events elicit distinct hormonal responses based on the emotions and outcomes we expect. For example:

 

- Election Results : The anticipation around election outcomes can create high cortisol levels due to the stress and uncertainty involved. Adrenaline rises from suspense, while dopamine offers small boosts if there’s hope for a favorable outcome. Shared experiences with a community might trigger oxytocin, while serotonin levels often fluctuate with emotional highs and lows.

 

- **First Dates**: The excitement of a first date typically creates moderate cortisol due to nerves, combined with a high level of adrenaline as anticipation builds. Dopamine is released as the possibility of pleasure grows, while physical or emotional connection can produce oxytocin. When confidence in social bonding grows, serotonin adds an extra layer of joy and self-assurance.

 

- **Reuniting with Loved Ones**: Reunions often reduce stress (low to moderate cortisol), coupled with adrenaline from anticipation and high dopamine due to joy. Oxytocin reaches peak levels with emotional bonding, while serotonin levels reflect feelings of happiness and nostalgia.

 

Each of these experiences highlights how much our hormonal responses are shaped by anticipation and the hope of positive outcomes. BlissTech suggests that cultivating neutrality—a practice of mindfulness and detachment from specific outcomes—can lead to a balanced emotional state. This neutrality helps us avoid emotional swings based on outcomes and guides us toward resilience and calmness, a step toward what some spiritual traditions describe as reaching Vaikunth—a state of ultimate bliss and inner peace.

 

Imagine, for example, two people at a horse race. Person A has bet on a horse, so their experience is intertwined with anticipation and the potential for reward or disappointment. Their emotional state rises and falls depending on the race's outcome. Person B, on the other hand, simply observes the race for the enjoyment of the experience, unaffected by the result. While Person A’s state hinges on external events, Person B enjoys the moment purely, without the emotional upheaval of attachment to an outcome.

 

BlissTech invites us to reflect on how we engage with life’s experiences. By developing a mindset of neutrality, we can manage our hormonal responses to maintain inner harmony. This doesn’t mean detaching from life or ignoring passions; rather, it’s about adopting a balanced approach—embracing the journey without becoming entangled in outcomes we cannot control.

 

Through this lens, BlissTech proposes that achieving a lasting state of bliss doesn’t require the abandonment of our aspirations. Instead, it is found in fostering resilience and tranquility, appreciating the highs and lows without letting them dictate our happiness. This is the pathway to true hormonal harmony and lasting inner peace.

The Art of True Popularity

  The Art of True Popularity

If you could make one magical wish, perhaps you’d wish to be popular. Being popular means being liked by many people, not just a few close friends, and that’s a significant goal. However, popularity requires consistent effort and awareness of potential pitfalls. Let’s explore some ways to navigate them.

 

First, remember that genuine popularity requires treating people with kindness across the board—you can’t be friendly to some while ignoring or mistreating others, as word will quickly spread about your true character. Make an effort to be respectful and considerate to those around you, especially elders like neighbors, teachers, parents, and other relatives. This respect will earn you a reputation as a dependable, respectable individual, rather than someone unreliable.

 

It’s also important to show kindness toward younger kids. By caring about others’ needs and wishes, you naturally become someone others want to be around. In group settings, if the majority chooses an activity you didn’t vote for, remember that going along without complaint demonstrates good sportsmanship—a trait that enhances popularity.

 

Sometimes, standing up for what you believe is right may feel risky, but doing so can also earn you respect. It takes courage to voice your convictions, and people tend to admire those who are true to their principles.

 

 Summary

Popularity is universally valued but requires tact, empathy, and courage to maintain. Showing respect for elders, kindness toward younger individuals, a willingness to compromise, and standing up for what’s right are all steps toward becoming genuinely well-liked. True popularity lies not only in gaining approval but in the ability to foster trust and admiration through authentic, considerate actions.

 The Science of Thought: Holograms, Neurons, and Quantum Entanglement

 

 What is thought?  Thought can be seen as a hologram generated by photons, specifically biophotons, emitted during neurotransmitter exchanges in the brain. Neurons communicate across tiny 20-nanometer gaps, or synaptic clefts, where neurotransmitters (NTs) carry chemical messages that are then converted into electrical signals, forming neural pathways that create thought.

 

During this neural exchange, biophotons are released at each synapse. The synchronized emission of these biophotons across millions of synapses forms a coherent hologram—a thought. While many of these holographic thoughts are fleeting (often referred to as "brain chatter"), concentrated thoughts—those with clear focus—are stable enough to “leak” out of the brain, transmitting energy outward.

 

According to Sage Patanjali, these concentrated thought holograms can lead to Sanyam, a focused state of consciousness that fosters insight. When such thoughts extend beyond the brain, they interact with the object or concept of our focus and gather knowledge.

 

**How does this interaction work?** For tangible objects that we can see or touch, our senses guide this interaction. But for abstract concepts or distant objects, science suggests a different mechanism—quantum entanglement. This phenomenon, described by Einstein as "spooky action at a distance," implies that entangled particles share properties regardless of distance, allowing one to reveal information about the other.

 

This same principle may apply to thought holograms. A focused thought, entangled with its object of interest, could transfer or exchange knowledge by altering the hologram in the brain through entanglement. This process creates an “induced fit” where the brain adapts its hologram to better perceive reality. In the same way that drug molecules adapt to bind precisely with target cells, thought holograms may adjust to fit their focus, enhancing understanding.

 

**Implications for Knowledge and Discovery** 

Great discoveries—Einstein's theories, Newton's laws, Beethoven's music—may have arisen through this process. When thoughts are focused on an abstract idea or concept, quantum entanglement allows for an exchange of knowledge beyond sensory perception. Sage Patanjali's Yoga Sutras hint at this deep connection between thought and universal knowledge, suggesting that through concentrated thought, humans can access insights that are otherwise out of reach.

 

In this framework, thought is more than an internal process; it’s an interactive force that connects us to the world and universe in profound ways.
