Snail Physics and Vedanta


In a mood of contemplation I was walking my usual walk and thinking about a post of Physics that stated about a mirror Universe being a possibility along with this universe- in total 2 universes at the beginning of big bang….

…. the mind shifted from there to the multi-verses models (all unconfirmed) but one that talks about membranes and extra dimensions stating that we are part of many 2-d planes ( like a birthday card that opens to a 3-D image) or another theory of  quantum multi-verse where when we make a choice- then every possible timeline for the Universe is real…

….  I shook my head and went back to how much Physics had unraveled and is yet nowhere near to any explanation of what is that which is beyond every possible measure or every possible equation?  From Special theory of relativity concerning speed time and space to general theory to making space time and matter and energy to be the same things, then further to the duality of wave and particle , to the fact that matter that is you and me is a wave to  Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and then quantum and entropy– my mind finally gave way to give up this external analysis. 

Give up!

Tired and unsatisfied it turned to Vedanta and to Gita that states that this phenomenal world is an illusion and what is beyond all such phenomena is Brahman, the Absolute Truth that the only way out is to examine the reason of illusion and that one can only realize the individual self through contemplation of being able to distinguish the real from unreal.

My quest must start from Who Am I? I must be the subject – not the external world.


On the way back home to coffee and to pen my thoughts, I clicked a snail making a trail with its slime in it's own relative world of its own speed and its own agenda, its own science of how much slime and how far.

  1. I can so much relate to this....at times one feels it is beyond ones apprehension and the mind gives up but the one starts getting little clues here and there as if Universe is guiding you to unravel some mystery and at the end of this one is about to find some hidden treasure....enjoy the game...I certainly do and am looking forward to this interesting year 2015....wish you a fulfilling and contended times ahead ...with lot many insights and clarity.Happy 2015.

  2. Yes , we have to go to basics at times ,... but at times simple truths are very hard to understand

    1. actually simple truths are so simple that we cannot grasp these

  3. actually the moment we try to grasp we get away from that permanent bliss!...only the intellect needs to satisfy itself when trying to grasp!...what if we know the truth...in any case we ourselves are truth..truth is not hidden but our eyes are shut...and you have rightly said, it is very simple...just we need to keep eyes open!..
    these are just my random thoughts!
