Glimpse!!!

I am happy to present my views on eternal, immeasurable universe. First of all who am I to comment on universe? Read further to get the answer.

Like many who take time to wonder nature and her every tiny delicate nuances of tremendous amount of expressions, I enjoy watching her at her best. Obviously, the beauty I relish is something personal to me since "beauty lies in the eyes of beholder". I always strive hard to enrich my land of conception and execution. I really doubt, would there be any real invention possible? Whatever has been done so far had happened by cobbling together a few things that are available aplenty. If I delve deep into each and every invention to understand the base - on which every admirable monument is erupted, my mind conceives only one similarity between all seemingly diverse things-that is "comprehension".

I know the premise of sanadhana dharma - hinduism- for years, which can be captured in the spirit of drawing parallel between an atom and the universe. Here I should confess that I did not turn to be a hindu after a careful deliberation; I did not enjoy the freedom of choice when it came to selecting my religion; I happen to be a hindu just because of the fact that my ancestors were hindus. But when I became old enough to question the validity of every belonging of mine, when I began to recognize the futility of clinging onto something without any reason, I was deeply hurt by the ignorance of mine about my own religion; So deeply hurt was I, that I immediately started taking steps to dispel my fear of being idiot for a long time; The rites of my religion was deep rooted in my life but not the reasons behind them till that time. I started to scour for ideas that would justify my association with hinduism; I sprang into action to enter into the comfort zone; Once I validate my choices and find that they are immaculate then there would be no need to bow down out of shame when my own conscience questions my intellectual vanity regarding my choice of religion. In my effort to find the answer, I embarked on a journey, throughout which I could not help feeling better and better as the journey to be. I emerged merrier than ever because I validated my association; I can never claim that hinduism is the best because I never spent time understanding other existing religions. But I can say a point with conviction that hinduism is all encompassing intellectual treasure having each and everything in its supreme elegance. I never felt voidness throughout that fascinating experience. That obviated the necessity to think of other set of beliefs- religions.

If the purpose of religion is to make its believers to forget the present and make them happy by allowing them to ponder over supernatural powers, then it should be no better than a bottle of whiskey. But the purpose of religion is to civilise people I believe or rather that is how I would define it. I started worrying about the meaning of the premise of hinduism. The most complex argument I ever faced. "The entire universe is self contained inside an atom". Just because it sounds crazy it is not great. When we encounter an unknown phenomenon, in order to get the grasp of it, it has be expressed in terms of known phenomena. If the supreme unknown phenomenon is expressed in terms of equally unknown things, then there can never be a chance for getting the flawless understanding. But when I derived an analogy from biology, I felt a flash inside. In biology everyone agrees that each and every tissue inherits the information of the entire body of which it is a part. Nobody can deny it now, because it is no longer a fancy concept but has empirical evidence. If that’s the case, why can't the argument- "The universe is self contained in its each atom" - be true?. It is just that, our technology is not advanced enough to bring out the universe contained in each and every atom thereof.

But the thing is, what is the purpose of knowing all? Validating religion and taking pride in our association with it? if a person is well civilized and if he carries out his duties well, there is no need of assistance from religion and concepts thereof. Surprisingly, the above statement is from the beliefs of a religion -hinduism.
