The Journey

A train
The journey
A Tear.

There was no choice
But to move away
There was no choice
But to catch a train
There was no choice
But to break a heart

A train
The journey
A tear

Khadakasha

This universe exists in Akasha or space. There are three main types of Akashas - Mahakasha, Khadakasha and Jalakasa.

Mahakasha is the space we see up, with no limits..growing further and farther.
 
Jalakasha is the reflection of the Mahakasha in a water body (Jala means water).

Khada means mud pot. There is space in the mud pot which is nothing but an extension of Mahakasha. It exists there because and till there is a pot. It was there before the pot was even born. When the pot dies it becomes part of Mahakasha. Khadakasa has a birth time but it is never born. It has a death time but it never dies.


We are like Khadakasha.

Between You and Me


Between you and me
There are three 'I's
The I that I know, the
I that I told you and
The I that you know.

The I that I know
May not be the I
That I told you and
I do not know the
I that you know.

God and His Image

Did God create us in His Image? or What does that really mean?

According to Vedas, the 10,000 year old 'knowledge', we are made of body + 'something' (a Chaithanya).

Our body is made of the Pancha Bhootha (five elements). And we need the same Pancha Bhootha to live.

The food we eat is provided by Bhoomi (Earth).  Or this is the Earth Element within our body
There is Jala (water) in our body (just like earth is covered with 70% water, our body too is 70-80% of water)

It is the Fire (Agni) Element in our body that maintains our body temperature and helps with digestion

We breath Vayu (Air) and our blood carries this Element to nook and corner of our body

Whether it is Air or Food or Water, it moves around in Akasha (space) in our body

And when we die, our body goes back to the 5 elements (irrespective of whether we bury or burn it). So, if we are made of His image, how did we became perishable, when God is not?

When we are said to be dead, are we completely dead? or what dies? As we all know, when we are pronounced medically dead, all our organs are NOT really dead. It can live on another human, if it is removed within some specific time. And when those organs are taken, doctors do not have to give us anesthesia coz we do not feel pain anymore. Body can not feel anything without that 'something' or Chaithanya. So, what is gone is that Chaithanya (coz the body is still there and there is kind of 'life' in it). and when it is gone, we are dead...But where did it go?

Ancient knowledge says when we die, we are supposed to go back to from where we came from. So, the body turns  back into 5 elements.  That 'something' too should go back to the place from where it came from. Though it can not press the 'Home' button just like that, it is meant to be back there. Only then it can fulfill the equation, E=mc²

So, that 'something' or Chaithanya is the image of God and it is present in every one of us. It is beyond religion, faith and race. If that 'something' can be compared to lit charcoal, often it is covered with ash. Once the ash is blown away, it starts shining and glows like fire..and then it is capable of pressing the 'Home' button when our body goes where it came from.
