Wisdom 2

Good morning to you all. In my first lecture I just briefed you about the actual world and actual knowledge. Today I am going to explain you about the world in details.

Now, everyone strongly believes that we all born to this world, live in this world, do a lot of activities, leave this world at the moment of death. I.e. everybody strongly believes that we all have an existing world or else a thing called world is persisting.

Shall we examine further to see whether a thing called world remains….? Look! A thing called world, we think, is the one we see through our eyes. It’s totally a picture. We have mother, father, children, wives, relatives, villagers, countrymen, animals, trees, rocks, mountains, rivers, etc. in it.

Shall we make small experiment?

Shall I touch a tree or grasp a tree in the garden?

Now, see! I am grasping a thing called tree now.

Let’s examine, observe or think about the tree I grasped.

Is it a leaf, branch, flower, trunk, bark called a tree? No, collection of all these called a tree .shall we divide furthermore?

Only the atomic parts remain finally (according to science).

Now we come to the conclusion that atoms aggregate in to a specific shape to which we call a tree.

These atomic aggregations give rise to a thing called picture.

Once we touch the tree means we are touching the atoms on the other hand or “tree-atoms”.

Then, what actually the true is, you cannot actually touch the tree. Can you? No….

What you are sincerely or really touching is the atoms of the tree thinking that you are touching a tree.

NO ONE IN THIS UNIVERSE CAN TOUCH AN ACTUAL TREE.

Shall I observe this picture called tree further more?

See! When you look at the tree you can see it.

Then what is it?

These atomic aggregations finally form a thing called picture as a tree. It is a creation, creation of atoms.

This tree-shaped picture was absorbed through your eyes and dump in your mind, then you can see it, just like camera screen receive a picture from outside. Your eye relates to camera lens. Here the mind part is very important. If the mind is not, you cannot see it.

Ex: 1. in a dead body you have eyes but cannot see anything.

2. You look at a tree, while looking at, you memorize your home, and the tree is no more in your mind. You cannot see the tree even though you are looking at it through your eyes.

So that conclusion comes that you can see your tree once it’s picture dumps on your mind only. So I ask, is there an actual tree in your mind or within you?

No! Only a reflection is in your mind or reflection of a tree in your mind or reflection of an atomic aggregate in your mind, just like a mirror reflection or a camera reflection.

So what would be the answer?

What ever you see in this world as pictures are only the reflections of those items which are coming through your eyes and dumping in the mind. Then you are seeing them. Finally we come to an answer which is amazing now. I.e. world is only the mere reflections of what you see. Further more,

Outside–>                        Atoms

Inside–>                           Reflections

So how the world creates is that outside atoms make inside reflections.  That’s all.

Now you can say that no permanent world outside which you can grasp and no permanent world inside which you can worry. As long as you see the picture, a series of reflections are in your mind which gives you an appearance of permanent type of a picture outside or permanent thing outside but once you turn your eyes in  to a different direction, new picture comes to your mind and previous one is totally no more now, which suggests that what ever comes up as pictures of world will be no more, once their reasons to see them are no more.

Now you can strongly believe that world is NOT a permanent one and it’s a creation, from a moment to a moment.

Where ever you go, you create the world there yourself. So that previous idea of an existing world or persisting world is totally abolished now. The person who sees this marvel through his mind from his own effort, he never puts his hand out to take a thing which is in front of him, thinking that the designated thing is existing as it is….

 Up to now I explained in details about the eye. But other organs are the same.

What ever you here

What ever you taste                      

What ever you smell                                      Out side atoms and inside reflections

What ever you touch

You, yourself can see it by meditation.
