TIME AND SPACE: Prat II:

Macrocosm and microcosm are the same says the Upanishads. Let us look at the seed form of human, the fertilized egg in mother. It has trinity embedded in it. It has the yolk sac (food for the baby (annadbhavantu bhutani - Vishnu-Lakshimi, the sustenance) and potential energy (Shiva-Parvati) and the creative knowledge (Brahma-Saraswati).

This fertilized egg replicates into 2, then, 4, 8, 16 cells and so on. They form the 3 layers of body, the ecto, endo and mesoderm. From ectoderm comes the skin, hair, teeth etc, from endoderm all the internal organs, from mesoderm the bones and muscles. Thus from a pleuripotential fertilized egg (a combination of Prakriti-egg and Purusha-sperm), around the 12th week, vibration begins (heart beat -quickening-pranava) and human being is formed.

This human is born with trillions of cells, trillions of chemicals and processes, billions of organs. All this variety is born out of this one cell. So is this universe.

The so called Big Bang of Scientists may be the thought of the Creater (vibration dipicted as light). Scientists also agree that energy is neither created or destroyed. It only transforms from one state to the other (Law of transfermation of Energy).

This energy in seed form is called potential energy and it has two components, electric (purusha) and magnetic (pakriti). World of duality is filled with this electro-magnetism. In seed form it is called potential energy with potential cosmic intelligence (hiranya garbha). In manifest world it is present as kinetic energy, manifest cosmic intelligence.

All this together is the Brahman of Upanishads. In simpler words the Omnipotent - Omnipresent - Omniscience Divinity in which we think, breath, speak, act, cry, laugh, sleep and are a part of it. While we are inherently part and parcel of all this, feeling that we are seperate and distinct is the delusion (Maya).

But all this journey began with time and space with primordial thought - vibration (Pranava). To go back to our source is Our spiritual journey. To go back, we need to transcend the time and space dimensions of universe. Then only we can exprience the Oneness and Unity in creation. This experience of Unity in diversity is called PRAJNA. This awareness is our home.

"PRAJNANAM BRAHMA" says the Vedas.

(It is one of the Maha Vakyas of Vedas - in Itereya Upanishad of Rig Veda).
