WAVE IN THE OCEAN🔗

You are part of the cosmic consciousness _______________________________________________________

All your life, you have worked so hard to bring order – into your mind, into your body, into your life. But do you know, you are actually a beautiful, blissful chaos? All the chaos that you see in the cosmos is there inside you also! When you experience the blissful chaos within yourself, slowly your idea of yourself as a solid being begins to dissolve. You start letting go of the idea of separateness from everything, which is the source of all your misery, all your fear. You awaken to the Truth of your deep connectedness with everything in Existence.

So we have come full circle!

Rising as a wave from the ocean of cosmic consciousness, playing for a while as body, mind and intelligence, again you are returning to your home, your source.

Till now, you worked on your body, your mind, your intelligence, to explore deeper and deeper layers of your individual consciousness, to touch your own deepest point. Now it is time to discover that at your deepest point, you are no different from the cosmic consciousness.

TAT TVAM ASI - YOU ARE THAT!

Order in chaos is cosmic intelligence

Why is the cosmos as it is?

Who knows?!

There is no logic in Existence.

For centuries, scientists and thinkers have been trying to find out the purpose of Existence. They don't understand, Existence is beyond our logic!

This whole of Existence and all events happen as causeless auspiciousness, like waves arising in an ocean.

Existence is an ocean of bliss and ecstasy.

Out of the causeless, overflowing ecstasy, the wave of creation rises in the ocean of Existence!

That is how Creation happens.

The play of the Divine in its infinite manifestations in innumerable universes is called Sustenance or the cosmic play.

When the Divine drops from the play and relaxes into the Absolute state, into Itself, it is called Dissolution.

Then for no logical reason, the play starts again…!

The whole of Existence is chaos.

In the universe, so many planets are moving. There are no traffic signs or cops or signboards! Yet, the planets are moving so beautifully in order.

Take the planet earth on which we are living.

Even if a single thing is missing, whether it is temperature or water or air or fire, if anything is missing, we will not be able to live on this planet earth as we live now. In the same way, in quantum physics, the smallest elements are not even particles. They are both particles and waves, and a multitude of probabilities!

If the universe had been chaos without any order, it would have headed toward destruction instead! But there is an innate order in this chaos.

Science is still not able to prove that there is order in the chaos of the universe, that there is order inside the atom, because to understand that, we have to go beyond the intellect.

Einstein once said, 'Anyone who is not shocked by the quantum theory has not understood it.'

The only way to understand this cosmos is to understand that you cannot understand!

The rishis, the vedic scientists have always said that there is an order in the chaos. The cosmos is not just an accident.

The whole chaos has an order that is beyond our understanding. 'Chaos in order' is what I call 'cosmic intelligence'.

I had an opportunity to meet Dr. Charles Townes*, the Nobel laureate and physicist, who is well-known for his work on the laser and maser devices.

He told me so beautifully, 'I feel the whole universe is something special, the whole universe is a spiritual being. It has its own intelligence. Even though I am not able to specifically prove it with mere words, I feel it is an intelligent and spiritual being.'

WAVE IN THE OCEAN

Understand, the whole universe has its own intelligence.

It is not just power. It is energy also.

There is a difference between power and energy.

Power plus intelligence is energy.

The cosmos is not just a force. It is 'force plus intelligence'. It responds to your thoughts, to your prayers, to your being, because it is intelligence.

Once somebody asked Buddha, 'Who is the creator of this universe?' Buddha replied, 'The universe itself is its creator.'

If the creator and the created are two separate entities, it means only the creator is intelligent! The created is not intelligent.

But the cosmos has its own intelligence. The cosmos is a living energy. The Taittiriya Upanishad* says beautifully,

'From Consciousness, came ether, space.

From ether came air.

From air came fire.

From fire came water.

From water came the earth.

This is the way existence has happened.'

Thus, mystics again and again emphasize that we are from Consciousness, we are from God. The creation itself is the creator. It is simply intelligence expressing itself!

As long as you believe that what you see as the universe is material, mechanical, without any intelligence, 'might is right' will be the ultimate law. This belief is the root of all terrorism and violence on planet earth!

As long as we believe the universe is just dead matter, it is going to create only more and more thirst for power. If we feel the whole world is chaos, then naturally we will think,

'When everything is chaos, let me catch hold of whatever is possible and live as much as I can.'

Again and again, the cosmic intelligence proves that it responds to our thoughts. There are hundreds of experiments done, not only with plants and animals, even with stones, fire and water. All these things respond to our thoughts.

I mentioned the experiments done by the Japanese scientist, Dr. Masaru Emoto, which prove how water responds beautifully to our thoughts, how it changes its very structure according to the thoughts it is exposed to.

Only when we realize that the universe has its own intelligence, when we realize that the universe is a spiritual being, the seed of peace is sown. Only when we understand that there is a living intelligent force responding to us, our prayers are being heard, there is an order in the chaos, only then can we work for and realize peace, bliss and spirituality. Then, instead of trying to own or expand our physical boundaries, we will try to expand our consciousness.

The moment we start believing or trusting that the universe is 'intelligence', we can simply relax, trusting It.

The cosmic chaos is inside you also

All your life, you have worked so hard to bring order - into your mind, into your body, into your life.

But do you know, you are actually a beautiful, blissful chaos?

You are a chaos!

All the chaos that you see in the cosmos is there inside you also!

But you are afraid to see it.

Once you start trusting that there is intelligence in the chaos, that there is order and harmony in the universe, you will lose your fear of chaos.

Right now, you are afraid of looking within, afraid to see the chaos inside yourself. Because you don't trust that chaos and order can blend beautifully together, you are afraid to let go.

Because you don't trust that the intelligence that guides the cosmos is guiding you too, you struggle to resist the cosmic current.

You struggle to maintain your own order.

But if you just look deeply, you will see that there is a wonderful chaos in what you call as 'order' - your body, mind and being.

You are not just a simple body. You are an ocean of potentiality!

You are not just a microcosm. You are the macrocosm in miniature form.

Right now you think you are order, because you see only your physical boundary. Your physical boundary is very small, so you feel you are an orderly being. You are 'under control'.

The moment you experience yourself as cosmic consciousness, you will realize the chaos inside your order!

You will realize the causeless energy, the consciousness inside your body.

As long as you try to become orderly, you will only suppress your energy, and you will also be suppressing everyone else.

Once you experience this chaos inside, you will never bother about order - it will simply happen in you! You will not work for discipline, discipline will simply happen in you!

When you experience that there is an order in the chaos of the cosmos, the macrocosm (brahmanda), you realize there is chaos in the order of the microcosm, the body (pindanda).

When you realize the order in the chaos, you will experience bliss. You will become a spiritual being,.

When you realize the chaos in the order, you will experience compassion. You will become a compassionate being.
