Life Lessons

Vacation is almost coming to an end. Will be leaving for Dubai tomorrow and then back to the grinding mill.
As always this vacation also had its lesson in store. This time it was a lesson in humility. Due to some stress injury had to go for physiotherapy for a week. The frozen shoulder is unfrozen now and All is well. But the one hour per day for a week had its lesson in store. How many things in Life we take for granted? Even if it is only lifting your arms and stretching to its full extent. I saw patients who had a stroke trying to recover control of arms or legs. People who had paralytic stroke coming for strengthening exercises. Hypochondriacs endlessly narrating their woes in excess. In all the message was simple : Enjoy the moment. It never comes back. Learn to appreciate each moment and the gifts it brings. Do not take anything for granted. Do not wait for universe to withdraw it from you so that you may learn its value. Live Life to its fullest.

Enjoy. Thank the creator for his merciful gifts and endless bounty. All my readers Have a great day.

Krishnamachari Santhanam.

Kathopanishad

Yathitham kincha jagath sarvam prana yejathi ni: srutham

All the Creations in the Universe happen due to the vibratory force of Prana or Life force.


What is Inert material? What happens to it?

Inert material has all the energy but latent in it. This Inert material subsides in the Akasha ( Ether).
This Akasha is the  source as well as resting place of everything inert. Prana or Life force is the source of all Energy.

Thus the entire Jagath or Universe is either inert or energic and has the source as Akasha (Ether) or Prana (Life force).

The movement of the prana is the cause of the creation (including Universe). This Pranic movement Akasha gets jostled and as creation starts this vibration gets expanded exponentially in waves. Then the heavenly bodies like the SUn and the Moon also are formed. Each gets a shape, identifiable luminosity etc.,

The jolts the Prana gives to the Akasha creates Vayu - Air. The Friction the vibration creates results in Heat- or Tejas is formed. This Tejas liquifies and becomes water principle (Appu). This water evoparates and becomes vapour.

Thus the Akasha (Ether) and Prana ( Energy) combines (yoga) and this vibration is the cause of creation and retraction as well.  This vibration creates heat,water and shrinks to vapour and thus the cycle goes on. while subsiding in inert it expands due to the friction of the Life force and subsides on its retreival.

This is simply Jagath ( Universe) which we call as real!!


Krishnamachari Santhanam.
