Hence You Are Curious - Intro

నిజమో కాదో తెలియని

ప్రలోభనాలను వద్దనవే !

In the beginning, there was an infinite cosmic ocean engulfed by darkness. And then, there was the seed. What was that seed ?. It could be the desire, the desire to manifest. It could be the word, the vibration leading to the emergence of consciousness. It is what seers experienced when they dwelled deep within their hearts.

And hence, the one before anything projected itself into all this. This is a state of neither real nor unreal. There is the truth in and beyond all this, Something only the realized ones seem to comprehend.

The power of intention of the one before anything has led to the possibility of creation. And the power to act ignited the process of creation. Embedded power of knowledge holding everything. That one seed spiraled into never-ending ripples making the universe, holding the power within itself to sustain, make, and unmake itself.

Various seers have experienced different realizations upon meditating. For one, it was a golden egg, from which all the universe was born. For another, it was when the one before anything offered itself into the cosmic ocean to give birth to the universe. Nonetheless, it was beyond human comprehension how all this happened. Some have stopped with their first experience, and others have kept questioning and pondering.

Beyond dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins there is a state, where there is no difference between the self and the one before anything. Blessed are the ones who can experience it like a shower endlessly.

Now why are we discussing all about this. Well if you have read up to this point, you are curious. Curious about the existence, curious about the creator. Ultimately curious about your own self. To this point, I have summarized what is discussed about the creation in various works under Sanatana Dharma. I may or may not have accurately summarized, so I will also attach a few references at the end for you to ponder over.

If you think about it, entities like Shiva, Vishnu...etc came into existence long after the creation happened. In fact, the entities are various personifications of the one before anything.The main reason I was interested to write this article is that today any Tom, dick, and Harry from the West is ready to give misinterpreted and demeaned gyaan on our Sanatana Dharma. And out of all that kichidi, people lost a lot of essential understanding required for sanatana dharma. In my next article, I will try my best to explain what are deities and dimensions under sanatana dharma in the most simple way possible.

The Purpose

The sun was just about to set. I reached just then. I got down from the car and walked to the river. I kneeled down and put my hand in the water. The water in the river had a little warmth because it was a sunny day. I sat down there, waving my hand for some time. It was so good, I hoped the time stopped then and there. Then I thought, my hand was feeling the experience of water. Irrespective of which part of the river I put my hand in, the experience will remain mostly stay the same. If I enter the river and swim, then my experience would become more vivid and significant. If I submerge myself completely underwater then the experience of water around me becomes everything. Hypothetically, just imagine because of my sheer desire to stay there I obtain the ability to breathe and live underwater. I would probably choose to explore further rather than swim back to the surface. I will start imitating any creature I would find living in that water. Slowly I will learn a movement of my own

Who am I?

I'm the shadow behind what is expressible. I'm the core of what can never be expressed. I'm the one inside the darkness. I'm also the one in its absence. I dwell in depths of silence. I'm the ruler of the hall of sounds. I'm the cause behind every intention. I'm the force behind every action. I'm the offering. I'm the receiver of the offering. I'm the one who is called in every chant. I'm the blessing. I'm the one who is bestowing blessing. I'm also the one who is getting the blessing. I'm the water, fire, air, matter, space. I`m the one causing time. I'm the one beyond time. I'm the dream. I'm the one dreaming. I'm also the one free from the dream. I'm an integral part of every form. I'm also formless. I'm the witness. I'm the one being witnessed. There isn't anything, anywhere, anytime that is not me.

Beyond Words

The yearning, The desire. It's hard to tell if it is a selfless pursuit or a selfish endeavor. I never understood the great emotion being confined to a few words. Sometimes it's just the pleasantness of the union. Sometimes it's the pain of separation. Every other emotion feels like a by-product of that. It devolves into something evil the moment it's not about people but things. In its presence, all things sweet don't feel the same always. And all sad things don't stay the same. When it is understood deeply, pleasure will never be in taking, but in giving. It is what gives comfort even inside a prison of our own making. It is the warmth in one's association. It is also the warmth of one's tears flowing down on their cheeks on farewell. Is there somewhere that it isn't there. I don't need to celebrate it particularly if I cherish it every day in one form or another. What it symbolizes neither changes for anyone nor anything. It is misinterpret
