Our origin.
Where did I come from?
If you ever had or still have that question, consider yourself fortunate because that one question alone can revolutionize your life.
We normally say, “ We came from our parents, and they from their parents, etc.”
“ We all are connected via our passed-on genes.” Etc.
But that is only a partial answer.
Because then the next question will arise.
“Where did the first gene come from?”
Let’s analyze genes.
What are genes?
We carry genes for the next generation.
A seed carries genes for a tree.
But, if you dissect and open up the seed, you don’t find the tree; you find only the genes for the next tree.
Genes are just blueprints ( genetic messages, genetic codes, instructions ) for creating the next generation.
( just like a blueprint created by an architect for a house to be built).
The house is not even built yet.
Based on these blueprints from the architect, who actually builds the house from bricks and mortar? – A builder.
Similarly, our body utilizing the blueprints ( genetic messages ) has to be constructed from 5 elements – earth ( food ), fire ( heat from the sun ), water, air, and space.
And who does THAT?
We don’t know.
We see the builder who built our house, but do we see the builder who built our body?
No, and we never ask, either.
But we do have a builder, a master builder.
First, He created the five elements, created the genetic codes, and created our body by combining the five elements following the genetic instructions.
Not only does He create our body but is maintaining it also by making us grow, make us breathe, make our hearts beat, etc.
So, during our whole life also, He is busy handling our bodies.
He makes us go through various stages of life.
He provides all the necessary equipment like a physical body, hormones, etc., and prepares us to pass on our genetic codes to the next generation. ( which also He built ).
Eventually, He even takes us back by dismantling our bodies back into the five elements.
All this happens in silence.
A seed sprouts in silence.
We get conceived in silence.
A flower blooms in silence.
This silence ( “ nothingness “ ) is invisible to us, but it is the mystical builder of not just us but the whole visible and invisible universe ( or universes ) that we see around us.
This “nothingness” is within us as we speak, as we read, and as we write.
But our eyes won’t “see” it. He is beyond.
He can only be experienced.
Meditation helps you develop a new eye – the eye of awareness, which can connect us with our master builder, who is our Generator, Operator, and Destroyer.
He is our origin, and He is our destiny.
Enjoy your life, enjoy and respect every single creation of Him, find His light within and light up the world around you with that light.
MEDITATE.
We live in spiritual ignorance about what is involved in creating us and the whole universe because we never seek the truth.
Instead of seeking the truth, we have chosen the path of ignorance.
What is our ignorance?
“Our mind believes that we are the body.”
And that is the crux of the whole mistaken identity.
We think that we are something and we have a separate existence from the universe – The ego.
This has given rise to an Ego driven society.
And this is such a closed-loop system that no one talks about this. No one explores to find out the truth. Even if few do, they are ridiculed.
And we live in such a fake world.
So, meditate, go within, and experience this beautiful formless state of Consciousness.
