modern theories and traditional evolution of human thoughts
The
word "scientific" has to be used in a more catholic way.. The rigours
and sterility of modern science were not available in the past. No
X-rays, antibiotics or GM counters, no amplitude or fequency modulaton
were known .. but they say the seers could transmit and receive the mind
waves, which some say are also part of the electromagnetic spectrum
with even higher energy of frequency level, but that is not yet proved
scientifically. WWW was not there but the sages perhaps captured the
knowledge from the ether though tuning their minds. In fact on the
question of vedas and other knowledge being lost at the end of each
yuga and yuga cycle, there are mentions in the Karikas accompanying
Vedas that the origin of Vedas always started with a lotus sprouting
from the navel of Vishnu while he was in yoganidra.(was the lotus stalk
just a sort of antenna?) and the Brahma appearing there and just
creating vedas and imparting them to the sages and some say it was done
through mental transfer. When such Vedas were lost at the interludes of
changing Yugas brahma asked the rishis to contemplate very deeply and
gain the Vedas once again and this they did effectively. Vedas and
Smritis like that of Manu, are said to have come out of such deep
contemplation. The word dheemahi... in gayatri and "satyam param
dheemahi" in bhagavatham--, is seen as the word for deepest
contemplation for attracting knowledge.. The sushumna as we perceive in
yoga system is another carrier of signals and when properly tuned the
power of kundalini is allowed to raise and flow upwards (current) and
gain potency ( potential difference or Voltage) as the power (or
energy.. these are two separated by the time factor in physics) as it
reaches up from mooladhara, swdhistana, manipoora, anahata, visudhi
chakras to the ajna chakra or at a higher level, sahasraara. In that
elevated energy state the human brain appears to be in resonance with
the universal wisdom and just like a usual radio receiver with LCR
circuit resonates and catches up the waves of some particular frequency
when tuned properly.The brain or mind also is said to have received the
signals and such signals have got interpreted through the sense organs.
In the tattwa of Dakshinamuthy we see that the young Dakshinaamoorthy is
imparting knowledge to his aged desciples Sankas etc through silence
either in gestures (chinmudra) or through transfer of data from mind to
mind., We are yet to know the structure of the biological transmitter or
receiver, the mode of transmission, the frequency of the wave, whether
there were carrier waves also, etc. But even zoologists and students of
nature have discovered some sort of dissemination of such knowledge
though non verbal media among living beings. The only stumbling block in
the mindset of ours is that we have got tuned to certain wavelengths
whose level of resonance, sympathetic vibration and the perception that
could be triggered are very limited. And remaining in such frequencies
or wavelength ( the frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional
and hence I am using the two terms for the same purpose) most of us
could not get attuned to some rare sources of intelligence (meaning
information)..I think this separates individual human beings in their
level of efficiency in particular fields, especially like arts, music,
faculties in language etc..We have to understand that the weight of the
brains might vary only by half an ounce between a dumb person and an
Einstein.. It is in this context that the individual sense of
superiority or what we call in loose terms as ego have no real
significance. Our minds and we humans are mere mirrors and the
reflections or absorptions depending on the thermodynamic concepts of
radiation and our limited study of the perfect white body and black body
may have to be extended to the functions of perception also. Tam eva
bhaantam anubhaanthi sarvam... He is shining there and everything just
reflects his resplendence...
