WAKING UP
by Sri Shyamji Bhatnagar


The pulse of the cosmos mirrors itself in the human body, with the beating of the heart reflecting the throbbing rhythm of the universe itself. The same elements which comprise the mantle of this earth are the very elements making up the human body, and the laws which govern their form and actions are the same, “as within, so without.”

We, each one of us, comprise a microcosmic manifestation of all the elements, all the laws existing throughout Creation. To separate man from his place as an evolute of the cosmos is to deny the very core of Reality.

We cannot escape. We are all products of the same omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient Causal Principle.

But we can hide, we can deny. We can veil ourselves in the illusion of “free will” and “self-determinism.” Nonetheless each of us somehow has two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, two arms, two legs and one mouth and one anus. Each must breathe. Each must eat. Each must sleep.

Physics tells us that when two or more vectors of force interact a new flow is created following the path of least resistance. Man is a product of the vectors of cosmic force, and has within himself an inborn flow, an innate direction. By denying the principles which gave him birth, man can resist or divert the flow. But the price is pain and a sense of separation, anxiety and loneliness.
