Abstraction

Simple is beautiful. Abstraction is like an ocean. It has no end. It goes on and on...Abstraction is an aspect of totality. However, you can still treat abstraction as the genesis of the whole creation. It's so abstract that it becomes causal. Abstraction can be basis. So abstract that it become useless. Usefulness is not abstraction. There is no direct use of God that's why God is an abstract concept. So abstract that mind cannot comprehend. If mind can comprehend the abstraction then mind is greater than the abstraction. At some point of time mind has to stop. From there onwards the layers of abstraction starts. To me there is no difference between God and Abstractions. God = Abstraction. God is perhaps the most abstract concept ever created which is still working flawlessly. One of the definition of God in the Hinduism is - Not this Not this. What it means is whatever you see through your eyes, whatever you hear through you ear, whatever you smell through your nose, basically whatever you sense is not God. This is negative abstraction. Keep on negating. Negate to the extent that there is nothing left to negate any more. If something is still left to negate then know that that's not the state of God. That is one kind of abstraction. The another definition says - Everything is God. Sarvam Khalvidam. Now this is positive abstraction. Assimilate that everything is God. And if you think that everything is God except just one atom then know that you don't know God. It has to go to extreme. Either nothing is God or Everything is God. In that extremity of abstraction you find God. That is one reason I said love everybody. Everybody. If you hate even a single person in the entire universe that means you hate the whole of creation itself. Because, that person is part of creation. Whole creation is sustaining him. One of the biggest unfortune of the humanity was the disintegration of sense of belongingness. We think we are separate. We think that we exist as a separate independent entity. That was what society has taught us. And society became full of morons and pervs. Remember one thing whatever ideology and understanding you have is not yours. You are taught to think like that. That's why you think like that. It's not your thinking. It's thinking of society. Society is a strange thing. You can treat society like a human. Society takes birth, society grows and become young, and one day it dies. It may so happen that society doesn't want to survive for some reason. This is what happened with Roman civilization. It got fully extinct. If Roman civilization can extinct then anything can extinct. That I believe.You are taught to think that whatever you think is your thinking. So, that's not your thinking. The point I am trying to make is we all are connected to same source. It's like this - tide might think that he is separated from the ocean. But when tide exist as a separate entity it dies down into the ocean. But the moment tide realizes that I am the ocean itself. Then there is no question of dying. We are exactly like those tides waving the lap of consciousness. But of ego we think that we exist as a separate entity. And that everyone thinks. This is where the root problem comes. Do not slot the existence. Slotting has always created problems. It's all one - it has to be integrated. This is what is the true meaning of Abstraction I am talking in this post. Abstraction means integrated. Abstraction means united entity. Together. We grow together. One person growing and rest all going to grave makes no sense to me. Everybody has to grow together towards the perfection. Because we all are same. Jesus said "I and my father are same". What does it mean? He is simply saying that we all are same. Same existence is everywhere. Be it for Jesus, be it for you. Only difference between you and Jesus is that Jesus know that he and his father are same. But you know that you and your father are not same. But it doesn't affect the existence by any means. The abstract pure nature of existence demands that whole humanity has to grow together. This is what is the constraint to be met for happy humanity. Till today we have not met this constraint. There were many theologians many philosopher. Be it Socrates, Plato, Lao Tse, Arvind, Vivekanand or anyone. No body could ever understand this concept of universal equanamity which demands every individual to be happy. This is the innate nature of whole creation. Because creation is not slotted. It's not digital, it's analogue. This demands every individual to be happy. This is one aspect of abstraction. There are other aspects as well. In fact there are many aspect. It can goes on and on....It won't end. The aspect I described is part of the existence. And is stable. That means some another aspect working parallel is trying to nullify the cause of dissolution of the former aspect. That is why so many people differs in their theology. Because there exists many parallel abstractions. Mind you - it's not one abstraction. At a time there exist many parallel abstraction cooperating themselves in sustaining whole of the existence. Now different people has different power to perceive the abstractions. That is why their ideology differs. Their understanding differs. Still at some point of time it has to be brought under umbrella of single abstraction.
More on abstractions later...
