जीवन का उद्देश्य

जीवन का उद्देश्य। कया जनम ले कर मरना , यही जीवन का उद्देश्य है? धर्म के लिये जीना और धर्म के लिए मरना यही जीवन का उद्देश्य है। परंतु यहाँ बात पर गौर करना कि धर्म का मतलब यह नही की आप यदि हिन्दू हैं या इसाई हैं तो आप साम्प्रदायिक दंगों में भाग लें। धर्म के संस्कृति भाषा में बहुत मतलब होते हैं। और इसी कारण कभी कभी हम इसका गलत मतलब निकाल लेते हैं। जैसे कि सूर्य का धर्म है सौर्य मण्डल को ऊर्जा देना। कुछ भी हो जाये सूर्य देव रोज़ अपने धर्म का पालन करते हैं। ठीक उसी तरह, मनुष्य का धर्म है की वो अपने कर्तव्यों का पालन करे और कुछ भी हो जाये, कितनी ही विपरीत स्तिथि क्यों ना उत्त्पन्न हो जाये, वह अपने कर्तव्य और ज़िम्मेदारियों को निभाता चले, फिर चाहे वह उसकी निजी जिंदगी में हो या फिर उसकी व्यवसायिक ज़िन्दगी में। हम सभी को एक शरीर मिलता है, उसमें पांचो इन्द्रियाँ समान होती हैं, जिससे हम सभी स्तथूल शरीर का अनुभव करते हैं, पशु पक्षियों के पास भी यही इन्द्रियाँ होती हैं, किन्तु मनुष्य के पास एक विशेष तरह का विवेक होता है, जिसके द्वारा वह उचित-अनुचित, सत्य-असत्य, धर्म-अधर्म का भेद करता है। विव...

Indra's Net

The original idea of Indra's net is found in अथर्व वेद, where world is seen as one great net. Everything is interconnected and there is no separate self existence of anything. Everything is interwoven among all its members. None of it exists apart from but only in the context of this collective reality. As is rightly said and depicted in Hindu scriptures that "there is no beginning and there is no end£ The metaphor of Indra's net or Indra jaal as we like to call it, is not only meant to explain the interconnectedness of different entities but also to suggest omnipresent creative intelligence. All appearances of separateness are Maya (माया). This interconnectedness is also a good metaphor for what is now recognised as a main quality of a hologram, which is that every area of the hologram contains information on the whole. Micheal Tablot's recent theory of the holographic nature of the physical universe proposes that a holographic model might provide a scientific ...

Dharma & Religion are Different.

The word Dharma has multiple meanings depending on the context in which it is used. It can mean conduct, duty, right, justice, virtue, morality, religion, merit ,good work according to a right or rule etc. Dharma has the Sanskrit root "dhri" which means 'that which upholds' or 'that without which nothing can stand' or 'that which maintains the stability and harmony of the Universe. Dharma encompasses the natural, innate behaviour of the things, duty, law, ethics, virtue etc. Eg. The laws of physics describe current human understanding of the dharma of physical systems. Every entity in the cosmos has its particular dharma- from Electrons, which has dharma to move in a certain manner, to the Clouds, Galaxies, Plants, Insects and of course Man. On the other hand , religion only applies to human beings and not to the entire Cosmos, there is no religion of Electrons, Monkeys, Planets and Galaxies. Where as all of them have their Dharma. Taken from the ...

INTEGRAL UNITY

  Integral unity means that ultimately only the whole exists; the parts that make up the whole have but a relative existence. Like a smile cannot exist separately from the face; it is dependent and contingent on the face. However, the face has an independent existence, whether it smiles or not. The relationships of every entity to the cosmic whole is similar. The dependency is unidirectional. Each element be it physical or non-physical, is inseparable in this manner from the ULTIMATE REALITY. Just as each expression of the face is a form or manifestation of the face, so also everything that exists is a form or manifestation of the single Ultimate Reality. The various dharmic systems all agree that Ultimate Reality cannot be fully understood by the ordinary human mind because such a mind is limited and its perceptions consequently deficient. While scripture can communicate something of the concept of unity, one has to advance to a state of unity consciousness in order to grasp ...
