The wonders of pyramids
The wonders of pyramids
The pyramids of Egypt have always been a center of curiosity and attraction. From common tourists to historians, archeologists and scientific researchers, everyone feels somewhat fascinated by these mysterious monuments. For what purpose the pyramids were originally built and by whom? How were they used in the ancient times? Answers to these questions still remain a matter of controversies and endless debate. For many years, the pyramids were thought to be royal graveyards made for preservation of the mummies. However, the majestic geometrical and archaeo-astronomical features of the pyramids and the amazing energy fields found by the researchers inside these gigantic structures reveal a gamut of new facets.The word ‘pyramid’ originates from the Greek words ‘pyra + mid’. ‘Pyra’ means ‘fire’ and ‘mid’ means ‘in the middle’. Thus, the literal meaning of pyramid would be – in the middle of fire (energy!). This indicates a possibility that the pyramids were constructed to serve as energy reservoirs or sources of accessing and preserving energy from the cosmos. The distinct geometrical features of these masterpiece designs also show the superb scientific knowledge of their architects.The geometrical analysis of the ‘Great Pyramids’ at Giza (Egypt) shows that the base area of a pyramid divided by twelve times its height equals the universal mathematical constant π (pi). The ratio of its vertical and horizontal edges is 1.618…, which is an important geometrical constant φ (phi). This perfection of mathematical formulae in its design can’t be a mere coincidence. It is also a puzzling surprise that its depth below the earth’s surface is exactly the same as its heights above the surface.A billion times of the height of a Great Pyramid equals the astronomical unit (the sun-earth distance). It is also remarkable that the solar energy-radiations are found to be significantly dense on the earth at this distance at the inclination at which the pyramids are located. The north-south axis (diagonal) in the middle of the pyramid divides the earth in two equal parts; not only that, this division also halves the land and the water on the earth. These and similar findings affirm that the architects of the pyramids had accurate knowledge of the geometry of the earth and the solar system and they had made use of it for advanced level experiments and applications through these pyramid shaped laboratories.The wonders of pyramids include the fact that these are situated right above the geo-center of the gravitational field. The total of diagonal lengths of a Great Pyramid is about ten-thousandth fraction of the radius of the earth. The original meter, which was defined as one ten millionth of the distance between North Pole and the Equator, is one-fortieth of its edge. It appears that the pyramids were also used for certain standards of scale. If we multiply the number of days (= 365) in a non-leap year by 100 and add the number of hours (=24) in one day (the extra day of the leap year!), we get 36524. This happens to be the value (in meters) of the total peripheral surface of a Great Pyramid! The entrances of all the pyramids happen to face the East. Moreover their central axes at the entrance are directed towards the point in ecliptic reached by the sun at solstice (on the 21st June and 22nd December, when the sun is farthest from the equator and appears to pause before the earth returns nearer). These findings suggest astrological / astronomical applications of the pyramids.Historical studies mention of an Egyptian Archaeo-architect and Priest named Imhotep, who had prepared the calendar of the year 4229 B.C.; it is amazing to note that his calendar also showed 365 days in a year. Such precision of calculations was also reflected in other information given in his calendar; this could be possible only by substantial knowledge of the movements of the planets and stars in and around our solar system. Usually very few planet/stars are seen in the sky over Cairo (Egypt), that too not so clearly as could be visible from other parts of the world. Then, what kinds of telescopes were used for astronomical studies those days? Were the pyramids serving as the observatories? This was also the common belief of the Arabs. However, the scientific authenticity of this possibility got accepted only after publication of the book "The Great Pyramid – Observatory, Tomb and Temple" by British Astronomer, Richard Anthony Procter in the late nineteenth century.The learned author has revealed many important facts on applications of pyramids in planetary studies in the above book. According to him, the location of pyramids on the Equator is along the north-south geo-axis from where positions and movements of the planets and stars on the North Pole side could have been studied by the astrologers of ancient Egypt. The canals beneath the base of the pyramids lie straight in the direction of the Pole Star; the deviation angles of its rays could be measured here. These canals are dug beneath the earth’s surface at an angle of 26 degrees and 17 minutes, which happens to be the angle of reflection of light there. The upward and downward directions of these canals are according to the angles of incidence and reflection of light. These dark wells of 200 ft deep canals thus illustrate the thorough knowledge of astronomy by the experts of those days.The above are some notable facts on the construction of the pyramids. The atmosphere inside the pyramids is found more astonishing and has posed many challenges before the modern scientists. Nobel Laureate Luis Alvarez had tried to measure the energy levels inside the pyramids using a cosmic counter machine but he did not succeed, as his instrument stopped working in the energized fields here. Surprisingly, it happened during several trials; the instrument would start functioning fine as soon as it was brought out beyond a certain distance from the pyramids. X-raying the pyramids by groups of scientists coupled with the studies by renowned physicists like Dr. A. Goneid showed findings inside the pyramids that were beyond explanation by scientific laws. Dr. M. Mc Luhan of Ontario, Canada and several others have also researched on these aspects and found that somewhat different forms of energy-fields than the electromagnetic energy (which is the energy so far known, pervading in the space) seem to exist inside the pyramids.In view of these arcane energy fields of high intensity found inside the pyramids, the researchers opine that such marvelous scientific structures can’t be graveyards. These must have been built for some super-level purposes such as astronomic studies, understanding of the cosmos, experiments on subliminal energy, and/or spiritual modes of devotion, etc. Many believe that the rare cosmic energy indwelling here could induce sublime transmutation. This view is strongly supported by Manly P. Hall in his celebrated work entitled "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" (first ed. 1928). He mentions that staying inside the pyramids used to empower the devotees with evolved spiritual energy. In his view, pyramids might have been constructed as spiritual energy centers for enlightened transformation of personality.Historical reviews also indicate that as per the period of their construction, the pyramids do not appear to be originally constructed as the graveyards of the Pharaoh Kings of Egypt; neither their construction took place during the reigns of the latter. In his research dissertation on "The Pyramids of Egypt", published in 1964, I. E. S. Edwards has shown 3100 B. C. to 332 B. C. as the period of the rule of the Pharaohs in Egypt. Till the early 20th Century AD, the pyramids were also largely believed to have been erected during this period. However, advanced archeological studies and scientific analysis have shown that the pyramids are much older. British archeologist, Walter Emory had examined the stones of the Great Pyramids of Giza using spectrographs and had estimated the age of these constructions to be between eleven thousand to fifteen thousand years. The Bodleian Library at Oxford has an antique treatise of Egypt, which is written on Birch Leaves. Abu Al Massoudi describes the pyramids as constructed prior to the disastrous inundation that had engulfed most parts of the earth and gave rise to its present form. As most of the modern historians approve the occurrence of this epochal flood disaster to be before 15000 years, the age of the pyramids is found to be older than fifteen thousand years from historical proofs as well. Similar supporting evidences of the recent times affirm that the great pyramids of Egypt were not built during the reign of the Pharaohs. Arabic researcher Abu Jed Al Balkhi has estimated the age of these pyramids as about thirty-three thousand years based on the results of Carbon-14 techniques applied to the organic remains of the later ages in these monuments.It is important here to note the recent findings of distinguished anthropologist and archaeologist Prof. Tom Dillehay and Dr Dennis Stanford on the prehistoric global migration. They have thoroughly analyzed the archaeological data, the antique structures, data from excavated sites and the skulls, bones and soil/stone constructs obtained there, data on linguistic and geographic history and the data on anthropological research and evolutionary studies in genetics. Their research has annulled the hypothesis that Asians had migrated to America via the Bay of Bering about ten thousands years ago. Based on the results of this research, Prof. Tom Dillehay of the Archaeology Dept., Kentucky University (USA) concludes that – there are proofs of human inhabitation in Chile since about 33,000 years; the migration of Asians towards the American continent had begun much before that. He also argues that even the frozen strait of Bering could not hinder this migration. According to Dr. Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian Institute (USA) this prehistoric migration had taken place in three to four stages. The findings of these researchers also support what was written by Abu Al Massoudi and point out that the architects of The Great Pyramids were not the ancient Egyptians, rather some others who had reached there much before the advent of Egyptian or Greek civilization.
Who were these "others" who had constructed the pyramids? The observations of Bill Schultz and Ed Petit are worth noting in this context. In their book "The Secret Powers of Pyramids" the authors cite that the fame of ancient Greeks as the founders of Mathematics is there just because they were able to decipher some knowledge from a well developed science of much more older civilization. The classical Alexandria of Greeks could gather and propagate only a fraction of the gigantic knowledge available with the handful of great sages, the unknown migrants, who had reached the land of Egypt thousands of years before the dawn of Greek civilization. These strangers (migrants from some more ancient and advanced civilization) of yore –– the founders of trigonometry, geometry, archaeology and astronomy – were the architects of the pyramids in the views of the authors.The above findings and the studies of ancient Indian Culture indicate that the great sagacious migrants believed to be the architects of The Great Pyramids were the Indian rishis (the seers, sages and scientists of Vedic Age), who possessed supramental talents and had realized the supreme knowledge. Many of their disciples had migrated in small groups to even the farthest corners of the globe1 to spread the light of this supreme knowledge and sow the seeds of human civilization there. That the rishis possessed immense knowledge of the sciences pertaining to matter and the gross manifestation of Nature along with their expertise in spirituality and yoga – is clearly reflected in several treatises of the Vedic Literature. The following slokas from the 352nd Chapter of the "Matsya Puran" cite the names of eighteen experts of archaeo-architecture and civil engineering of the Vedic Age:Bhraguratrirvasistha Ca Visvakarma Mayastatha Narado Nagnajiccaiva Visalaksah Purandarah Brahmakumaro Nandisah Saunako Garg Eva Ca Vasudevoaniruddhasca Tatha Sukrabraahaspati Astadasaite Vikhyata Vastusastropadesakah Sanksepanopadistam Yanmanve Matsyarupina Of these eighteen, Vishwakarma and Maya were regarded as the leading masters. These two are referred respectively as the architects for the devatas (manifestations of divine powers) and for the danavas (demonic giants). The magical buildings, cities and supernatural instruments devised by them are cited in the Vedic Literature and also in the later scriptures like Mahabharata and Ramayana. That these were not mere mythological depictions has been authentically investigated by the researchers of the modern times as well1,2. It was certainly an easy task for such geniuses to construct the monumental pyramids. Archaeological and historical research up till now has shown that the Maya civilization in ancient Mexico was an offshoot of the Maya civilization in ancient India. The ‘Inca’ civilization spread from Ecuador to Peru was also a branch of this civilization cultivated by Maya and his followers. All these evidences strengthen the findings of Prof. Dillehay and Dr. Bill Schultz et al and show that the Great Pyramids are also an illustration of the advanced architectural knowledge of the Vedic India and that the great Indian architects of that time had constructed these wonders of the world.What the historical data mark as the time period when the Shulbsutra and Brahmsutra were written now appears to be a little before the time the pyramids were built. These two post-vedic Indian scriptures happen to be the fundamental source of knowledge (derived from the Vedas) on vastukala (architecture), which also encompasses the secrets of constructions for archaeo-astronomical and ethno-astrological studies and hidden specificities of vastu-designs for spiritual impact, etc. This further leads to the conclusion that the ancient Indians had masterminded the magnificent design and amazing properties of The Great Pyramids.Another puzzle associated with the pyramids is the purpose and mode of their use. The history of investigations on their mystery has also been very interesting. Many anecdotes were popular in the first few centuries A. D. about the tragic deaths of some explorers who tried to dig out the facts inside. The first authentic record in the history mentions of Khalifa Harun Al Rashid’s adventurous son Abdullah Al Memmon’s attempt in the year 820 A. D. Abdullah went inside the pyramids with a group of some intrepid young men carrying heavy hammers and chisels. Their efforts of removing or breaking some stones were ruined in the void, as the stones and their joints were too stout for the tools. In another attempt, concentrated acid was used to make a big hole from where some of the investigators could enter inside the gigantic tombs. But, they could find nothing – not a single corpse or mummy, no royal belongings. It took them about a month to come out from that labyrinth.The common belief of these being the graveyards for preservation of the mummies was shattered completely when a team of investigators of international repute declared after search operations for several months that there were no mummies, no coffins and no hidden treasures inside the pyramids or in their basements. It is quite probable that in some period of the Egyptian rule, these might have been used for this purpose, as the energy fields inside were found to be miraculous. Most likely, this hypothesis also might have been just imaginary or an offshoot of false notions created to enhance the glory of the Pharaohs. Whatever it be, the possibility of such majestic designs with astonishing scientific and astronomical features having been constructed for merely keeping dead bodies does not appear logical in any respect; it is also not supported by any of the authentic research studies.The unique energy fields found here indicate that these pyramids were made and used for higher-level meditations, devotional practices and spiritual experiments. These appear to be serving as reservoirs of cosmic radiation for such experiments. Journalist and philosopher, Paul Brunton had spent a night in a pyramid of Giza. His observations were compiled in the book (published by Rider & Co., 1935) entitled "A Search in Secret Egypt" where he mentions of experiencing the presence of divine consciousness-force inside these ‘celestial’ laboratories.Several scientific experiments conducted inside the pyramids illustrate the presence of an exceptional energy field. Among these, the experiment of Austrian scientist Vern Cameron has been very popular. He had kept a watermelon inside a bathroom type wet chamber in the pyramid. Surprisingly, despite having water inside and around, the watermelon had shrunk into a tiny dry-fruit of the size of a chestnut with splendid taste. This amazing result inspired the scientist to study the aura of energy there. For this, he first worked with spectrographic recording of the energy domains (of light radiations, thermal and electromagnetic energy currents, etc) inside pyramid shaped designs in his lab. The aura of energy had an inverted pyramid shape and showed concentration of superimposed energy waves towards the base-center. The field remained dense at the particular spot for long time even after the model designs were taken away.Another widely publicized experiment was conducted in the late twentieth century by some Russian scientists. A pot containing a six inches long fresh sapling of a plant having two or three leaves was kept inside a glass pyramid. The response and growth pattern of this tiny plant was recorded continuously by time-lapse video camera. The plant appeared to be dancing on a sonorous tune. It first inclined slightly towards the floor. Then took a round towards the east; from there it completed the round by moving towards the west. Having reached the west, it became straight and started oscillating in a slow rhythm. It repeated this ‘dance’ for few minutes at an interval of two hours. Surprisingly, no such movements were seen in any of the saplings (of same age) of that plant in the pots kept outside the pyramid.Another interesting observation was that only the sapling inside the pyramid showed its greed (like the humans!) for the precious metal by bending completely towards a piece of gold which was placed near it.The rishis – the ancient Indian experts of geometry, architecture and other sciences and the deep science of cosmic energy – were well aware of the distinct features of pyramid shaped designs. They had also chosen the specific positions on the equator for the construction of the gigantic pyramids at Giza (Egypt), for maximum attraction and conservation of rare cosmic radiations there. They were the torchbearers of divine light, who might have used these pyramids as centres of sublime spiritual endeavors. The savants of today, sitting on the peaks of modern marvelous scientific advancement, may well begin to reinvestigate the noble use of the pyramids for similar experiments.

THE CHIDAKASHA GITA OF BHAGAWAN NITYANANDA II
THE CHIDAKASHA GITA OF BHAGAWAN NITYANANDA II
21. Fire, Air, Water and Earth are common to all. These may be used by all people alike. Similarly, pump-water may be used by a brahmin, a pariah, and children alike.
Explanation: – Fire, Air, Water and Earth are common to all. These may be used by all people alike. In the same manner. God is Common to all. He is the Universal Father and He can be attained by all alike, without the distinction of caste and creed, may he be a pariah, or a Brahmin. Like the pump-water which can be used by all – a pariah, a Brahmin and children – so also, Godrealisation is the common property of all.
22. Manas is the gingilly; Buddhi is the oil mill; amrita (ambrosia) is the oil.
Explanation: – If the fickleness of the mind (gingilly) is destroyed by the power of Buddhi (oil mill) the resulting firmness of will is the immortal state of Mukti. (Sthitha Prajnata). Like the gingilly which is crushed in the oil mill and the oil thus derived, a man must subject the Manas in him to the mill of Buddhi and the resultant will be the ambrosia of Mukti. (Supreme Bliss of God).
23. Buddhi is the king; Manas is the minister; Manas should be subordinated to Buddhi.
Explanation: – Buddhi is superior to Manas in man. Just as the king is the master of the minister and not the minister, the master of the king, in like manner, Buddhi is the lord of the Manas and the Manas should be subordinated to Buddhi. When a man is led by his Manas, he is an "Ajnani"; when he is led by his Buddhi, he is a Jnani. This is the precept of the Vedanta.
24. When a road is crowded with five or six thousand people it is almost impossible to drive a horse carriage along the road; the driver must be careful in driving the carriage. A cyclist's attention in not directed towards himself but towards the passers by.
24. When a road is crowded with five or six thousand people it is almost impossible to drive a horse carriage along the road; the driver must be careful in driving the carriage. A cyclist's attention in not directed towards himself but towards the passers by.
Explanation: – Just as it is difficult to drive a horse-carriage along a road which is crowded by five or six thousand people, it is difficult to concentrate the mind to "one-pointedness", when one is in the world, immersed in things worldly. Such a man must be very careful about himself. He must be like a cyclist whose attention is not directed towards himself but towards the passerby. Likewise, a man who is in "Samsara" must not think about himself but about others. To be in the world and not be of it, is an extremely difficult feat. A man who is full of desires, finds it extremely difficult to extricate himself form the clutches of desire.
25. When a man is entirely sunk in cold water, he no longer feels the cold of the cold water, A perfect man is not subject to anger.
Explanation: – When a man is of the highest realisation, he sees God inside him, outside him, all round him. He sees the god in ALL and the ALL in God. Such a man is above the frailties of the world. He is perfectly calm. All mental modifications (vrittis) have been annihiliated in him.
26. When a seed is fried, it cannot sprout. When a lamp contains no oil, we do not call it a "lamp". When the sun is shining, a gaslight becomes dim. It is the sun that gives light to the whole world. If Manas be regarded as the King, Buddhi may be regarded as the Prime-minister. When a tree does not bear fruits, it has no beauty. There is no effect without cause. In darkness light persists. Darkness is ignorance; light is Jnana (knowledge). One must see oneself. One must return to the place from whence one has started. We must return the thing we have borrowed.
26. When a seed is fried, it cannot sprout. When a lamp contains no oil, we do not call it a "lamp". When the sun is shining, a gaslight becomes dim. It is the sun that gives light to the whole world. If Manas be regarded as the King, Buddhi may be regarded as the Prime-minister. When a tree does not bear fruits, it has no beauty. There is no effect without cause. In darkness light persists. Darkness is ignorance; light is Jnana (knowledge). One must see oneself. One must return to the place from whence one has started. We must return the thing we have borrowed.
Explanation: – A perfect Jnani is not subject to the desires of the world. He has completely annihilated the desires in him. Hence, like a fried seed which does not sprout, even though sown in earth and well watered, desires in a Jnani never arise and toss his mind to the winds. He cannot return to worldliness, inspite of himself. Man without desires, is no man just as a lamp without oil is no lamp. A desireless man is one with God. Before the light of the sun, the light of the gaslight fades into nothingness. The light of the sun is the all in all. Likewise, Buddhi must be the all in man. Manas must be subordinated to Buddhi.Buddhi must command and the Manas must obey Buddhi's command. Buddhi must guide the Manas and the Manas must follow Buddhi's advice. Buddhi's role must be that of the Prime-minister to the king. Just as the king follows the advice given by his primeminister, so also, Manas which can be compared to the king, must follow the advice given by Buddhi which can be compared to the prime-minister. Just as a tree without fruits is of no avail, so also, a man without the knowledge of the eternal Truth is of no use. Such a man is no better than an animal. In this world, there is no effect without cause. God is the Cause of creation and the effect is the visible universe. Likewise, without a Guru, who is the cause, Jnana cannot be attained which is the effect. In darkness, light persists. God who is the substratum of all creation, is in all worldly things which are immersed in the darkness of Maya. Realisation of this Truth is seeing the light in darkness. What is darkness is ignorance ; light is knowledge. He who knows himself is a Jnani. It is our first and foremost duty to return to that place from whence we have taken birth. We originated from God and it is our bounden duty to return to him in this very life. The thing we have received from God is the soul; we must return it to him by being one with the God-head.
27. A Guru (spiritual teacher) will lead any sort of man from a thorny path to the royal road. Such preceptors are of two kinds. One is the primary preceptor and the other, secondary preceptor. Mind is the primary preceptor and the other, the secondary preceptor. One is not the preceptor of the other. He is only the secondary preceptor. The secondary preceptor is one who shows water in the well. The Guru who exists in the heart of all beings is the Jagat-guru (Universal Preceptor).
Explanation: – A Guru is he who leads a man to divinity from the thorny path of the world. Such preceptors are of two kinds. The one is the primary preceptor; the other, the secondary. The mind is the primary preceptor because it is the mind that is responsible either for the good or bad of man. The Guru who initiates is only a secondary preceptor. God, the Creator of the Universe and who dwells in all beings, is the Universal Preceptor.
28. People generally think that a teacher's body is Guru. A man does not become a Guru by simply wearing sandals and counting beads on a rosary. One who talks "Brahma Jnana" and gives stone to his disciples is not a Guru. Whatever a Guru speaks in words, he must show it in action. First one must practice and after realisation, he must begin to teach others.
Explanation: – People generally think that a teacher's body is Guru. A man does not become a Guru by simply wearing sandals and counting beads on a rosary. To be a Guru, one must realise the Great Self. The outer decorations of his body have no connection whatsoever with the internal working of the mind. To be a Guru, one must say what he does and do what says. One who talks "Brahma Jnna" and gives stones to his disciples is not a Guru. What he has acquired, he must impart it to his disciples if one is to be a real Guru. First one must practice and after realisation, he must begin to teach others.
29. One who has thoroughly wiped off the idea "I am the body" is fit to be called a Guru. There is none higher than such a one. There is no God above such a Guru. Such a Guru is God, and God is such a Guru.
Explanation: – One who has thoroughly wiped off the idea "I am the body" is fit to be a Guru. Such a Guru is one with God. But ignorant people differentiate between a Guru and God. A real Guru is one who has become one with God as sugar with milk; as salt with water. There is none higher than such a Guru. God is such a Guru and such a Guru is He.There is none higher than such a Guru and such a Guru is He.
30. If you keep sugar apart from us, we cannot have experience of its sweetness. If we eat it, then only we know its taste. A man cannot get Mukhi if he simply repeats "Rama, Krishna, Govinda" for a thousand years. He must repeat it heartily (knowing the secret).
30. If you keep sugar apart from us, we cannot have experience of its sweetness. If we eat it, then only we know its taste. A man cannot get Mukhi if he simply repeats "Rama, Krishna, Govinda" for a thousand years. He must repeat it heartily (knowing the secret).
Explanation: – We can know a thing only by experience; by simply hearing of it or by seeing it, we cannot know its true nature. The taste of sugar cannot be known unless we taste it. Similarly, we cannot know God by simply repeating his name even for a thousand years. But by repeating his name "Rama, Krishna, Govinda" mentally and with a sincere heart, we can attain Mukti. The most essential thing is sincerity.
31. Cow milk can never be bitter; the stone fixed in the earth cannot speak; by visiting places of pilgrimage like Benaras and Rameshwaram, a man cannot attain Mukti. What is essential is keeping the mind steady for a moment by introversion. Seeing earthern and stone images is not seeing God. It is mind's hallucination when you regard images as God. Without true Jnana, Mukti cannot be attained. Our taking the human birth is the effect. Giving it back is the cause. We must know the cause and effect. Likewise, we must know the good and the evil; the right and the wrong. Knowing all, Peace must be attained.
Explanation: – God-realisation is ever sweet like the milk of the cow. It is SAT-CHIT-ANAND (Knowledge-existence-bliss). A Guru can talk and initiate us but an image fixed in the earth is quite unable to do so. Hence, visiting holy places cannot be the cause of Jnana which can be got only by the initiation from a Guru. The bad tendencies of the mind should be annihilated; the power of discrimination should be increased. Viveka (discrimination) should always be experienced. Seeing earthen and stone images is not seeing God. What is essential is keeping the mind steady by introversion. It is mind's hallucination to regard images as God. Without true Jnana, Mukti cannot be attained. Our taking the human birth is the effect: giving it back is the cause. We must know the cause and effect by knowing the aim and end of life. The end of life can be realised only by the attainment of the ATMAN. We must know the good and the evil, the right and the wrong by developing in us the power of discrimination. Knowing all, peace must be attained which is the goal of life.
32. If a building has no doors, we cannot call it a "house". Without fire, we cannot heat water. Without air, fire cannot burn. Without food and sleep, a man can live for some days but without air (breathing) a man cannot live even for a few seconds.
32. If a building has no doors, we cannot call it a "house". Without fire, we cannot heat water. Without air, fire cannot burn. Without food and sleep, a man can live for some days but without air (breathing) a man cannot live even for a few seconds.
Explanation: – Doors are essential for a house; fire is essential for heating; air is essential for burning; food and sleep are essential for the physical body. Similarly, Prana is quite essential for life. Without Prana, there is no life.
33. Destruction of the world means transforming it into vayu (air with its blue colour); Raja-yoga is the place of indivisible Monism. If you enter the ONE, you lose sight of the MANY.
33. Destruction of the world means transforming it into vayu (air with its blue colour); Raja-yoga is the place of indivisible Monism. If you enter the ONE, you lose sight of the MANY.
Explanation: – When the world is destroyed, it ends in Vayu i.e. transformed into the blue air. By Raja-yoga a man will realise the ONE. Forgetting the MANY. Such a man will be one with the God-head forgetting the world and its attachments (many). He will then know the secret of absolute Monism.
34. In the Infinite, there is no finite; to a Jnani, there is no Ajnani; to an Ajnani, there is no Jnani. If all the children beat a mother, she does not throw them away.
Explanation: – In the Infinite, there is no finite. God is the one infinite and when he is realised the finite world ceases to exist. To a Jnani, all are equal i.e. he feels no difference. To a Ajnani i.e. to one without realisation, all is different. He is not free from duality. To a good mother, the good and the bad children are one and the same. A man of realisation feels no distinction between good and bad people; he loves them all, equally.
35. You must not leave the feet of a Guru. Your mind should not flicker like the reflection of the sun in the shaking water.
Explanation: – When once you have approached a Guru, your faith in him must be rock-like, undeterred at all times. Your mind must never waver like the reflection of the sun in the shaking water. The mind must be firm in its faith to one's Guru.
36. The sea-water is boundless; the tank-water has a boundary. Our mind must be like the tank water. Mind is the cause of good and evil. A man may be good and bad according to his good or bad thoughts. God does not do good or evil to any man. The reason is, Intelligence and Knowledge are the divine faculties in man. A man protected by good thoughts, cannot be harmed even by a cannot shot. Without Yoga, liberation from Karma is impossible.
Explanation: – A man's mind must be kept under control like tank-water; it must not be left uncontrolled like sea-water. To a man of realisation, there is neither good nor evil; good and evil are the creations of the mind. Good thoughts make good men; evil thoughts make evil men. God is he who is perfectly impartial and indifferent towards good and evil. He is the cause neither of good nor evil. Buddhi and Jnana are the divine faculties in man. They are inherent in all men alike. One who has the armour of good thoughts is invincible. In order to free oneself from the Bondage of Karma, there exists only one means-the path of Yoga.
37. Without knowing the secret (Truth) if we simply decorate the exterior skin, our karma will not leave us; one cannot be a sanyasi by external signs if he is internally a hypocrite. What you think, you must speak; what you speak, you must show by your acts. Do what you say; say what you do. Such a man is a Jnani; he is a Paramhansa; he is a Yogi; he is a Sanyasi; one who has conquered Desire is a true sanyasi; only a desireless man is fit to be a spiritual teacher.

Such a man is a Jnani; he is a Paramhansa; he is a Yogi; he is a Sanyasi; one who has conquered Desire is a true sanyasi; only a desireless man is fit to be a spiritual teacher.
Explanation: – Without realising God who is the eternal Truth, Bondage of Karma will not leaves us. A Sanyasi is he who is internally pure. There are many hypocrites in this world, disquised as Sanyasis. They are ignorant of the eternal Truth. They not only deceive others but deceive themselves. The test of a true Sanyasi is that he is pure in words, pure in thoughts, and pure in deeds. He possesses this three fold purity. Such a one is known in Scriptures as a Yogi, Sanyasi or a Paramahansa. A Paramanhansa is perfectly desireless. Only such a man is fit to be a spiritual teacher.
38. What is served for others, should not be eaten by us. We must place a separate leaf for us and eat our food.
Explanation: – Many people are satisfied when they hear and read what others have said or written about God. That is not enough. Just as a man must eat for himself to satisfy his hunger. So also a man must practice for himself if he is to realise God.
39. There is nothing like "this one" has more and another has less. The power of thought, the ears, the nose, the hand, the eye, etc. are the same to all.
39. There is nothing like "this one" has more and another has less. The power of thought, the ears, the nose, the hand, the eye, etc. are the same to all.
Explanation: – God's gifts to man are equally distributed; one man has not more and the other has not less. God is impartial in giving gifts to men. The power of thought, the ears, the nose, the hand, the eye, etc., are the same to all alike.
40. The nose is not the place where the eye is; walking should be done by the legs only; work done by the hands cannot be done by the head.
Explanation: – The nose is not the place where the eye is. Walking should be done by the legs only; Work done by the hands cannot be done by the head. Similarly, Manas, Buddhi, Jeevatman and Paramatman are different. The function of the one cannot be done by the other.

COSM The Movie
CoSM the Movie - Alex Grey and the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors (2006) DVDRip
Release Date: November 28, 2006Starring: Alex Grey Director: Nick Krasnic Genre: DocumentaryRun Time: 01h:17m:00s DIVX @ 1000 Kbps MP3 @ 128 Kbps, Stereo MF

Following Alex Grey's first film, Artmind, CoSM is a documentary that further defines Grey's lofty spiritual ideals by walking the viewer through a series of works made for Grey's masterpiece, The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Grey, known for his cosmic, anatomically detailed paintings of humans connecting with the universe, takes the viewer on a journey from birth to death in this non-profit gallery/gathering space created for community gatherings. Starting with artworks depicting the physical body, Grey's work branches out into an exploration of various stages in a person's psychic and spiritual development, culled from a complex mix of Eastern and Western philosophical and religious perspectives. One potent example is a painting of humans dissolved into pure light, rendered in a series of hyperbolic curves and light beams bouncing off one another. Filmmaker Nick Krasnic does a fine job of allowing Grey's narration, as he explains the concepts and inspirations behind each piece, to be the focus of each scene, though CoSM's rave-era trance music soundtrack adds unnecessary melodrama. Watching CoSM is a meditation not only on art viewing but also on an artist who believes in unlimited human potential.
