Now days the science is a super power. It is due to
the achievement of science that man has been able to see that part of
the moon, which the human eye had never seen. In this age both distance
and time have been squashed but the question is that where the science
achievements have stood?
What is the use of these achievements? These
achievements are like a double-edged sword. The effort of human being
should be to achieve new heights.
The fact is the science is a power without any fixed
policy. It gives power to the human being but it is not able to give
proper direction to him for its proper usage. This direction can be
given by Yogavisista Maharamayana the great book of spiritualism. Every
great soul has tried to fulfil this aim and will continue to do the same
so that a peaceful society is established because without peace nobody
can enjoy happiness which every human being desires but he is unable to
get the same without self realization it gives a feeling of completeness
to the human being.
Knowledge, Science and Philosophy are three facets
of the human being. All the three aim at unity in diversity, commonness
in separateness and newness in the old. The simple knowledge has
achieved this purpose by classifying the different items into groups.
The chemistry has divided all the physical elements into 105 types of
elements. According to physics research the whole universe is a
conglomeration of electrons.
Sage Kanaad's 'Vaisesika Philosophy' and' Nayaya
Philosophy' of sage Gautam describe that the world is composite of nine
elements i.e. earth, water, fire, air, sky, dike, time, mind, and
spirit. All the things in universe contain all these nine elements.
According to 'Samkha Philosophy' of Kapila there are only two elements
the nature and human being.
According to 'Advait Philosophy' of Lord Valmeki's
Yogavisista Maharamayana the whole universe is made of only one element
not of two many independent elements having separate power . All the
things in the universe are basically of this single element having
different names and shapes. Every thing is Absolute (Brahman - from the
root birth = to grow or expand).
"The entire universe is one substance, (namely) mere
consciousness as the ocean is (only) water. That alone throbs through
the (different) intellects as mere water through waves."

"As a vessel consisting of clay is indeed not perceived
devoid of the clay, the visible object, on account of its nature
consisting of consciousness is not perceived devoid of consciousness."

The formation of thoughts or its signification is Brahman (manifesting) in Brahman
"Yeh kano ya ch kanika ya vichiry stargankeh|
Yah feno ya ch tahuri tadyetha vari varini ||
[YV.VI - A .11. 40]
"All this was, is and will be the principle of Brahman,
changeless and having no beginning or end. The positive conclusion is
that there is no Avidya (or Nescience).
"Brahem tattva midim serv maasidasti bhavishyati |
Nirvikar men aadyantem navidya astiti nish cheyah ||
[YV. VI - A. 49 .11]
"That which is the Brahman and also the self and the
fourth state of consciousness which is nescience and also Nature, is the
undivided reality of the same nature as there is (only) clay in
hundreds of pots.
"Yad brahm aatma aapi turyashch ya avidya prikritishch ya |
Tad abhinan sadei katm yetha kumbh sheteishu mrit ||
[YV.VI- A .49. 8]
Shri Nand Lal 'Dashora' on page 57 of his book 'The
Wonderful Powers of Mind (Man Ki Adbhut Shaktiyan) writes that the
modern science has also accepted the oneness of conscious power.
Arther Edington and Einstien also said that some
invisible power is working in the universe of which we do not know that
is. It controls the physical world and is many times more powerful than
the physical power.
I can say with confidence that in the whole nature and unlimited conscious power is in action.
Sir Olinker Lodge has said" this universe does not
seem to be the creation of any causal incident some organized system is
working is behind it. A mind and a conscious power is working behind it.
We can give any name to this power in our language, but that is the
spirit of the man.
Dr. Mordel has the opinion 'the smallest particles of
atom and element by their strange behavior show that some conscious
power is at work behind them due to which the power of the electrons and
neutrons can not be captured.
All the elements, which are visible in this universe,
are a part of the supreme element to understand these powers is the
foremost purpose of 'Yogavisista Maharamayana', which ends all the
differences and gives the feeling of the oneness of human beings. The
human being is a part of the universal family and the life of all is
'one', only one power is there which is controlling the entire universe.
Lord Valmeki is believer of oneness of the universe
(Advaitvada). This world is full of troubles, upheavals, symphony, hate,
love, attachment, sex, struggle etc. The man is caught in the whirlwind
of all this. He does not feel peace as well as bliss in his life. The
whole life goes in struggle and is reborn to through all these
difficulties again. He does not gain anything; this is what has been
destined for him. He has nothing beyond this in his life, which can
bring comfort and peace to him, and he does not have any knowledge about
it. It is due to the fact that he is covered under a curtain of
ignorance.
A false illusion is spread around him due to which he
unable to look through for truth and real knowledge. He takes this
false cover as truth and he lives the whole life in this darkness spread
around him. Oneness of reality is the real knowledge. This is the
knowledge of this entire universe. To understand this oneness he can
only depend on Brahman in its different shapes. The spirit in the body
is also a part of this conscious Brahman and in no way separate from it.
The inert looking nature has also the expense of Brahman in it and it
is its solid shape. This way this inert expense is also another shape of
the power of Brahman and both the conscious and inert parts belongs to
the same oneness, this is called knowledge and to take it as separate is
ignorance. The principle of oneness is eternal.
It means that the Adavait Philosophy as described by
Lord Valmeki who has given consolation to the world through his
teachings is a wonderful philosophy, which has come up due to this clash
of inert and conscious. This solves all the problems. This philosophy
of Yogavisista has given the principle of oneness in separateness to the
whole world.
Lord Valmeki an epitome of nonviolence, protector of
mother Sita, and Godfather of Lav-Kush ancient poet gave the world the
principle of universal brotherhood. This has given the world a
humanistic vision .His principle of oneness has wished well for the
entire universe.
In the present day world of technical progress where
there is a rat race for getting more power and having competition the
holocaust cannot be ruled out. In this era of competition and the
differences we should rise above from these petty considerations and
accept the concept of oneness. This religion of oneness will be the
world religion in future, in which those religions which breed
separatism will not exist otherwise the whole human race, will be
destroyed.
In the words of Osho' neither God nor any worship
will be left behind except faceless, quality less, boundless, timeless
and limitless! Only oneness will be their and no separateness.
