Origins……..means seeking out the roots. It can be the family
roots………sometimes Indian expatriates come out in search of their roots….ancestral
lineage, native place where the family tree all started. This inquisitiveness
to search out our roots is inborn in every human being. This is part of the DNA
psyche. Nothing exists without a reason. Similarly this nature of every life to
seek out its origin is a very important trait to attain salvation. At a macro
level, humanity led its search which has led to many unconvincing theories ….one
of them being the Darwin’s ‘Origin of Species’ essay.
Having knowledge about the origin
makes us feel secure and grounded……..without the clarity one feels incomplete.
All of our actions are motivated by this incompleteness……to fill the void, to
feel complete …..’om purnam idam’ claims the Upanishad. ‘Purnasya Purnam
aadaya, Purnam evavasisyate’………that the absolute is Poorna who feels always complete
and is not motivated to act out of solving incompleteness. Similarly all of his
emanations are created ‘complete’ and in its pure form feel complete without
any external need. ‘Viswam Poorna Sukhayate’ Life is nothing but infinite
countless complete self reliant emanations from the Absolute. The fact at the present
moment on why these complete perfect entities feel incomplete and imperfect has
to be investigated post the origins analysis.
The real search of origin starts
when one realizes that one is ‘Pure self’ not the impure incomplete body and
mind. When one realizes that body and mind is like a external shell, he starts
becoming inquisitive about the origin of the soul. Because till that time his
inquisitiveness was satisfied by the fact that he sees his living mother and
father who is his origin and doesn’t care to enquire beyond. But once this
spirit realization dawns he again becomes agitated……the search starts again…..of
the spiritual origins. Various forms of yoga should be prevalent in society.
Even practiced in its impure form they are the path to the true self. Hatha
Yoga, Pranayama, Chakra healing, mudras – all these are door way to the
spiritual life particle. Spirituality starts from the point you realize your
divine origin………pure sacred origin. ‘Visnu Jagadaadi moola, maya lola’
Everything originates from Visnu who is “Sarva Kaarana Kaaranam’ cause of all
causes. One has to helplessly bow down to the mystery of our origins……surrender!
Then the origin starts revealing itself…..its a descending process ‘avarohana
pantha’ not ‘aarohana pantha’ or the ascending empirical process.
