The Infinity

Infinity is the most mysterious concepts worth to be understood but unfortunately it cannot be understood. Perhaps the only concept in which I am interested. The more you think about it the more mysterious it becomes. I am almost convinced it cannot be understood. This is definitely beyond human capacity. Otherwise, we would have understood by now. Even mathematics behave so erratically at infinity. 

I think there is a reason why the universe is infinite. If universe were finite it would have looked ugly, perhaps. 

In math any finite number divided by infinity tends to 0. Does it mean that any amount of work we do is also zero at grand infinity scale? Not sure, but it does mean that irrespective of what you do the total effect on the universe is probably almost 0 because the universe is Infinite. The question arises is - does universe which is infinite, has a purpose? If you have a purpose but if universe doesn't have purpose then your "Karma" is of no use. And if universe has a purpose and you don't have a purpose then you are in trouble. The other possibility is if universe has a different purpose than yours then also the situation is bad. But how do we know we are living in one universe or there are multi-verses existing parallelly at same time. There is a possibility that there could be infinite number of infinitely large universe all existing at the same time parallelly.

Recent study says there could be holes in space-time fabric which connects to other universes.  Scientist studying in this field have to describe other universes physics. We are not able to understand the physics of this universe(3D space + time) then and how we are going to understand the physics of other universe which is not even accessible. And who know if we access to that universe there might be another universe behind that universe and it continues upto infinite infinity..

Or other theory can be -- this universe or that universe end of the day it can be termed as one universe which is infinite.

Success

Our knowledge about something is directly proportional to the amount of time and energy spent in achieving the knowledge about that subject. Some people seems to have too much details and minutes about something. It means they have spent more time in achieving that. It may be worth doing that also.


The same logic applies to success also. Success is a state we want to achieve. In our current state/condition if we invest enough time and energy in order to achieve that successful state then it is possible to move into successful state. But it is certain that there is a minimum amount of effort/energy required in order to achieve success. Slightly less then minimum amount will not yield to success. For example - pure water boils only at 100 degree c. Nothing much happens at 99 degree c. Many of failure adventures were stopped at half way. Their calculation to achieve success was somehow perceived that they can't met minimum criteria. Most of times it is a problem in the perception. If we correct our perception they will not see success very far.


Lately I had been associated with adventures with Drones :-) Anything which flies into air has been fascinating to me since my childhood. I love watching free sky,  stars at night, and the horizon at beaches. It reminds of Einstein's quest - "I want to know what lights up the stars?". My desire to design drones from scratch will continue despite several hardware challenges in India. I learnt that there is a huge dependency on China when it comes to purchase chips/boards. Wish India also has replica of Shenzen (electronic manufacturing) and Silicon Valley(electronic innovation). India need to step up on hardware development if we want to bring world class hardware product out of India. Government should support hardware companies realizing their dreams. India has still not understood the importance of hardware. America's strength is not software, it is hardware :-) They are excellent in hardware. Their all software growth is on hardware innovations.

SpaceTime

These days I am watching YouTube videos on spacetime, relativity theory, cosmology in the field of theoretical physics. Probably, Einstein was the first person to find some kind of relation between space and time. He said that space and time are not separated but interlinked. These kind of theory cannot be proposed just by thinking, it is largely based on the perception. He had special ability to precept and visualize what happens when an object moves very fast. By "very fast" I mean objects moving close to the speed of light. He postulated that speed of light is constant in any frame of reference. (non-inertial?) and nothing can move faster than speed of light. Secondly the laws of nature are same in any inertial frame of reference. Basically it says that an object at rest or moving at constant speed is same phenomena as far as laws of physics are concerned. These are outcome of special theory of relativity. Further general theory of relativity reveals about the curvature of space and time due to gravity/mass, blackholes, warmholes, timetravel etc. 

I feel that after Einstein died his theory couldn't go to next level. Newtonian mechanics remained un-questioned for approx. 300 years. Meanwhile quantum mechanics came and the whole world drifted towards it because it somehow predicts the position of electrons quite accurately that is good enough for industrial applications. I feel that quantum mechanics is not a complete theory but an approximation theory. However, no body knows that it has to be non-approximation theory. I personally find relativity more interesting than quantum. I may be wrong but my prediction is relativity only will unlock the door to the final theory if at all it exists. Ultimate theory should also describe human consciousness which is neither electron, proton or neutron. Human consciousness is wave or particle? I haven been contemplating on this and looks like it is neither wave nor particle it's something else. And probably it travels faster than light also. 

One very basic phenomena scientist has to understand how to travel from point A to point B. Although the problem looks very simple but actually this is one of the most mis-understood problem. Let say A......C.......B is the path from point A to point B via point C. To go from A to B why I always have to go through C. Why cant i just hop from A to B directly, skipping C. According to Einstein if you travel from A to B via C then it is limited by speed of light. But is it not possible to avoid travelling A->C->B therefore go A to B in 0 time, no matter how far A and B is separated. I am not denying Einstein's principle he is probably right when you travel. But if travelling itself can be avoided it will open another dimension. I think quantum mechanics predicts these kind of hopping and they call it teleporting/entangled-particles. Einstein said space and time is illusion and they always exist. If that is the case then travelling from A to B without C is possible in 0 time, at least theoretically.

Books

I love to purchase books. I am in process of making a mini-library in my house. Somewhere I heard you need three things to run your life smoothly - 1. Library, 2. Garden, 3. Friends. I am determined to have first two, luckily have last one. Reading books always gives many insights. However, at times my interest to read them is inversely proportional to the thickness of the book. I want to have almost all of world's best classical books ever written. Some of the books currently I have on my shelf are - Sherlock Holmes, Pride and prejudice, Gulliver's Travels, The adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Tales of Mystery and Imagination, The Iliad, Childhood, Father and Sons, Tales from Shakespeare, How to win friends and influence people, Think and grow rich, The Book of Mirdad.

And following are in my wishlist:

1. Meetings with Remarkable Men
2. The Rubiyaat of Omar Khayyam
3. Tao Te Ching
4. Jonathan Livingston Seagul: A story
5. Thus Spake Zarthustra by Freidrich Nietzsche
6. Healthy living according to Mahatma Gandhi
7. In search of lost time
8. Ulysses
9. On Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson
10. The Divine Comedy
11. The power of positive thinking
12. The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
13. The Book of Secrets by Osho
14. The Book of Nothing: Hsin Hsin Ming
15. The Sermon On The Mount
16. Tertium Organum by P D Ouspensky
17. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
18. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Upade

I do not enjoy reading books very much. I would have read lest number of books as compared to others in general. My thinking is that if you read a book then you think in direction of writer's mind. Your mind gets biased. By reading a book may help you in a certain way say..to acquire some knowledge about some topics. It may even give you some insight. But this is not may cup of tea. Now the question arise then why do  I want to write a book. Well i said i don't like to read a book much I didnt say that i dont like it to write :) Basically what i meant is I am extremely selective in reading book. So selective that I almost don't ready any books. Somehow I think that by reading books your mind doesn't think naturally. Your become imitators. You imitate writer. In fact eveyelse in this world is a kind of imitator with a mask on his/her face.

Yes have thought the title of the book. Will be revealed after launch. Have almost no intension to make it best sellers or something like that. Because I know I just cant afford to do that. As you know if you want to write a book that sells well then just funda doesnt work. It needs masala. A book with funda + masala will sell good. I have funda. Infact i have no dearth of funda. Can write Ramanyan out of just funda. But I lack on   masala. Have also segregated the chapers. Just need right amount of masala to add it. if you can give me any insight on adding masala would be of great help. There are lots of books that are soleley on funda. I have no intention to re-write aristotle/plato or any such things. All my intention is that I want people to understand life and the world. You have a life but you live in a world governed by other people. According to me people doesn't understand. And there are other class of people who think that they understand but they don't understand in reality. They are in greater peril. Will reveal some of my understanding of life in that book ofcourse with masala part too.

Pls ignore the typos.

i'm back!

I am back again.

No blogging form 11 months. That's quite long. I must keep this space alive for whatever small purpose it has. Was busy growing my little kid...he is 1 year 2 months now. But this is not an excuse for not writing posts here. At many instances I just wanted to scribble here, but didn't have much to do so.

Growing kid with good human values is always a challenge. Kids are the future. Society has big responsibility to grow kids with good value so that they can support the nation in the future. I am scared with kind of education they impart on kids in school. Too much of discipline is also not good. Whenever a society becomes weak, it becomes disciplined. I don't want to enforce my kid to be topper or genius in the school, if it doesn't happen naturally. Neither want school/teacher to do so.

These days have been watching Chandraguta Maurya at ndtv imagine. Chanakya was really a great person. He had a purpose in the life that was of great value socially. Now if someone ask - what should be the purpose of life? According to me, life at it's natural, doesn't need any purpose. The life itself is sufficient to fulfill all its purposes. But this will be too theoretically or rather impractical answer as we live in an practical world. So to get the life going in a practical sense it should have a purpose. And if it all it has to have a purpose it should be great. But again, this greatness of purposes can be highly directive. Whoever has created history in human civilization must had a purpose. They had a purpose in life. A big purpose. And they worked very hard for that purpose. They lived for that purpose. Be it Alexander, Napoleon, Chandragupta Maurya or whoever you name it. And I think our education system doesn't teach to have great purpose in life.

The Book of Mirdad - Chapter 1

Decided to write a commentary on "The Book of Mirdad". Osho Rajneesh has rated this book as no. 1 book. And when Osho says there must be something in it. The book is really a book of big words and big meanings. The book which speaks off the relationship of blood and flesh with the space and time. My aim is not to create a literature out of this commentary. My aim is not to make you more knowledgeable. My simple aim is to look at the book the way I see it. Here it goes...

Thus, Mirdad unveils himself to unveil you. There are class of people who would not unveil themselves unless someone unveils them. Mirdad says your eyes and your ears which itself are veil, how can they show the path of enlightenment. Mirdad himself is very surprised that eye can only veil, but cannot pierce the veil. But his surprise is natural. This is the game of nature that for an individual will not be very easy to understand. And perhaps he will never understand. According to me, eyes should always unveil. I also just don't understand why do eyes always veil and the purpose behind. However, Mirdad shows a way to unveil. That's fine. The way is fine. Sooner or later you will find. But the very question is still open - Why do eyes veil? And this is the point almost every so-called enlightened being has missed out. I do not favor individual enlightenment. I support mass enlightenment. Mass enlightenment is something which has never happened in the history of human civilization. Only one Jesus and rest all followers. Only 1 Buddha, 1 Bodhidharma. It's not enough. One Buddha cannot do much. Unless each and every person on the earth will become Buddha the question will remain open. And perhaps they knew it. If you allow me the freedom of speech and syllables - according to me - Each and every person should start meditating and keep meditating forever leaving everything onto the nature. And everybody should get released from clasp of known time and space continuum.

Mirdad is pointing to a different kind of eye that is needed to pierce the veil. He is saying first correct your eyes, because your eyes itself is a veil. Basically, he is saying to correct yourself. Eyes speak more than the mouth. Look at the eyes of Osho. I have never seen eyes like him. What a calm, radiating eyes. Those eyes are not of this world. If you want to understand the person look into his eyes. His eyes will tell you what he is. He is right there in his eyes. He cannot deceive from eyes. Eyes are the most lively part of the body. These are practical matter, but in theory he is saying to change yourself. A change is needed. It's a must. Because, the man is almost sleep. Don't think just because you are not sleeping that means you are waking. Even when not sleeping you will be sleeping which you will never know unless awakened. Mirdad is demanding a change. And the change has to be at very fundamental layer. I am in complete accordance with him at this point. The first will be the man has to be awaken. He doesn't even know that he is waking. All his activity are in sleep, in deep deep sleep. By the time you will finish reading this line, that moment will drip into the eternity of the past. And so much of sleep-time is being dripped into the eternity of past every moment. How does the nature accommodate this? Only nature knows...

The change has to be applied to each and every person on the earth. Individual enlightenment is absolutely absurd to me. The humanity has to achieve it together. Not even a signal person should be escaped. That is the only and only possibility the humanity will be cheerful and contented. However, this possibility is a remote possibility. Because, it has never happened so far. Many have tried to achieve this possibility, but all have failed, utterly failed. And if they have failed, it's not their fault. Because, this is the very nature of the existence itself. You have a plan and the existence itself has it's own plan. And at many times these two plans contradict. Because you don't know the plan of the nature nor the nature knows your plan. At this point of existential contradiction the highest degree of intelligence suggests to just be an observer. Whatever happens you are just an observer. This will allow the whole of the existence to complete it's plan. The existence created you to fulfill it's purpose. Through you, the existence wants to achieve some goal. Whatever be the goal, that's immaterial. But you never allow the existence to complete it's plan. That's what your teachers have taught you. But, they can't be blamed about it, because they were taught by their teachers. And it's a big chain, a big viscous circle . That's why Osho says the world is mesh. He is absolutely right. The whole nonsense have been taught for centuries and centuries. And since it has been taught over the centuries it look like a truth now. If you keep lion in a cage for long time he will forget that he is a lion. In the beginning we were all lions, but now we are lame. The degradation is only possible, if elevated.

Not that you don't want to help others. Not that they didn't teach you to help others. They have tried their level best to teach you "so-called" good values. But those "so-called" values were incomplete. They have made you lame and asked you to help others. This may be the propaganda of society. Being lame no help can be done, so it creates guilt. Even if you want to help other, you would do disaster to him/her. That's why Mirdad says your world is a baffling riddle, it is because you are that baffling riddle.

To be continued...
