Spiritual maths, 1+1=1, 1-1=1, just solve this!

 


This material world is complete. It may apparently appear that inequality exist in this world. As the invocation mantra of isho-upanishad says, the personality of godhead is perfect, all emanations from him , such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the complete whole is also complete in itself. Because he is the complete whole, even though so many complete units emanates from him, he remains the complete balance.

All form of incompleteness is experienced due to incomplete knowledge of complete whole. If in this human form of life of full consciousness the living entity doesn't realize his completeness in relation to complete whole , he loses his chance to realize his completeness and is again put into evolutionary cycle of law of material nature.

The argument is that there is so much wrong happening in this world than how is it is complete.

Well, two thing s have to be consider here is that:

    1. We have to see the design with it's purpose. We need to understand that the purpose of this material world. The human form of life is a complete manifestation of consciousness of the living being and it is obtained after evolving through 84 lakhs species of life in the cycle of birth and death. And therefore all facilities are given to small complete units that is human beings to enable them to realize the complete whole and if human being doesn't realize the completeness in relation to complete whole, he loses the chance and is put in evolutionary cycle by the laws of material nature. For example we can't type book on cell phone and become frustrated when the purpose of mobile phone is for communication and just as added advantage is sending short messages, not typing an entire book.

    2. Looking at how this world function automatically, evidence of design is absolutely undeniable in this world. Automatically doesn't mean that there is no designer or creator, it means that there is no direct intervention of creator. The complete whole , the personality of godhead, has immense potencies, all of which are complete as he is. Thus this phenomenal world is also complete in itself. The 24 elements of which material universe is a temporary manifestation are arranged to produce everything necessary for maintenance and subsistence of this universe. No other unit in the universe need make an extraneous effort to try to maintain the universe. The universe functions on its own time scale which is fixed by the energy of the complete whole and when that scheduled is completed this temporary manifestation will annihilated. Example human body produces CO2, which is utilized by plants as raw material and as waste product plants produce O2, which is utilized by humans. So this is perfect and complete design.

    When we see this perfect design in accordance with its purpose we see it's completeness. Because we don't know that there is complete arrangement in nature for our maintenance, we make effort to utilize the resources of nature to create so called complete life of self enjoyment which is illusion. And since we can't enjoy the life of senses without being dovetailed with complete whole , this misleading life of self enjoyment make us frustrated and we keep pointing out faults in the design. For example the hand of the body is a complete unit as long as it is attached to complete body. When the hand is severed from the body, it may appear like a hand but it actually has none of the potencies of hand. Similarly in BG 15.7 says that living being is part and parcel of complete whole and if they are severed from complete whole, the illusory representation of completeness can't fully satisfy them.

    Analogies- we can have better understanding of this point by considering the analogies of jail and hospital. That both have facilities for sustenance but at same time arrangement for sufferings. But that doesn't mean there is fault in design. As jail is there for the purpose for punishing and reforming prisoners at the same time it provides for their needs too. Similarly hospitals are places where patients are suffering from diseases and at same time there are doctors and nurses to take care of them and cure them of their diseases.

    Scriptures explain that this material world is jail for those souls who have rebelled against god and want to enjoy separately from complete whole. And it is hospital for those souls who have realized their mistake and want to rectify and heal their wrong mentality. So when we see design in accordance with the purpose than we will understand , how this material world is perfectly complete. And if we see design separate from the purpose than we will never understand how design is perfect. So when we seek for the complete realization of the absolute truth that is sat, cit and ananda than we realize the most completeness in ourselves and the material world.
