Manifestation
of the World
BY DR SURINDER SINGH
SURI * Human mind is working around the clock
while being awake or in a dream.
Deep sleep is a gift to blessed ones.
A stage comes in a man’s life when he questions himself
who am I? From where have I come? What for I have come? Where I
am heading for? What
|
are the essential of the science of
sciences, the science of life, with all its subtleties for the
all-round enlistment of the individual and the masses? How can I
achieve a peace of mind? How the world was created? Who is the
creator of this world? And what were the conditions before this
world was created?
To find answers
to all these questions, one should study Vivekananda, Upanishads
(even the shastras), Gita, Shankaracharya (and even
Ramanujacharya), the inspiring verses of saints of India
particularly the Adi Granth (called by the Sikh community of
Punjab as Sri Guru Granth Sahib) containing divine-revelations
through Hindu and Muslim sages alike, and the all-round genius,
the mighty and the boldest, and the most elevated of this time,
who represented in him all that is divine and spiritual Wisdom,
human love and material might, with the most charming
combination of “Spirit, intellect, emotion and muscle”; the
last of heroes of this soil, as declared by no less than the
modern prophet Vivekananda himself who pointed to him as the
Ideal to be
followed by the Hindus (Indians) (and of course also by the rest
of the humanity), and whom Swami Ramatirtha in America, just
after Swami Vivekananda, presented as the Ideal “Teacher among
the teacher of mankind” GuruGobind Singh”!
Looking into
science, there is no such thing as “Scientific Creationism”
in the professional literature of science.
It exists only in the house publications of creationist
organizations, and what appears in such places is empty of
evidence, intellectual reasoning or persuasive argument.
Since the survey was of submissions, not of acceptances,
creationists cannot claim that science journals are biased
against them. It is
clear that the creationists have nothing of scientific value to
submit.
The riddle of
how the world came to be in the first place is a central problem
for all mythologies. Sometimes
the beginning of all things is described as a total emptiness or
void, or alternatively as a limitless expanse of water, an
undifferentiated waste clothed in darkness – an idea common to
the mythical narratives of the Middle East, the Khoisan peoples
of southern Africa and many traditions of North America and
Southeast Asia. However,
the most widely distributed creation image depicts the primal
universe in the form of an egg, containing the potentiality of
everything within it all-enveloping shell.
