Rivers mixing with Ocean

The ocean is full of water, there is so much water that a humans eyes cannot limit it with its vision. Then there are rivers, ponds, lakes and of course swimming pools. As human beings we think ourselves to be the most intelligent species on the planet. It is quite rational to think that way. After all we have created so much out of the resources. Well they call it utilization of resources but we can see the forests dieing, the pollution increasing. I mean if we were so much intelligent, how could we miss the fact that we are slowing destroying our home.

You might be wondering why i talked about the ocean. The reason why i did is because before all of creation, there was nothing. This is not only a philosophy but a scientific discovery. The father of quantum physics quotes

“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of a mystery that we are trying to solve”

-Max Planck

Quantum physics still does not know 96% of the universe. It is absurd to think that we know everything. The wise men have to start from “ I do not know any thing” So as i was saying the vast ocean is the source for the rivers, streams etc. In the same way the nothingness is the source of all the human beings and creation itself. It might seem very daunting and incomprehensible but it is reality.

The one reality that everyone ignores because of the ego in man. Gautama Buddha was talking about this ignorance when he said, “Ignorance creates suffering”. See the ego is identified with different experiences, memories, objects, beliefs so it wants to ignore the real. The dream you dream at night makes you think that it is real. You have no doubt that it is real but as soon as you wake up, it is all clear.

It is the same with the world that we think to be real. All the great sages, realized men have been saying this for ages. This is something that can not be understood by a mans intellect. Sure the door opens through it but it is more of an experience than a concept. The way we can touch upon our true nature is through mindful meditation, self inquiry, yoga. But every one comes close to it all the time, in the form of nature, love and kindness.

At the end all the streams, rivers mix with the vast ocean, it is the same with us. We all go to the same source at the very end.
