The Universe is lying on a fine balance between matter and energy which are interconvertible . The science we developed with the limitations of our five senses and our not so efficient brain cannot go beyond certian limits of the knowledge.we tend to assume a lot of stuffs which cannot be true untile we know the dynamics of that instance in a very infinite level .for example we can only guess or theoritically explain what happenes when a particle speed exceed that of light .but the acutual scenario cannot be understood as we dont know thedynamics at that moment .Similerly we dont know what happens beyound th black hole. The matter we see is real in our world formed with our senses. all matter are condesed form of energy so we can only assume the very finite nature of it .It has nothing to do with if it is observed or not . There are a lot of efforts to connect Indian Philosophy and Physics but I guess it will be better we leave them in their ways . Yoga is a pure physical excersise and people always try to mysify it by using many sanscrit worlds out of context

A story re-told by Dr. Chopra:

The following story, which derives from one of the greatest Vedantic texts, the Chandogya Upanishad, beautifully describes the nature of the nonlocal self.

Thousands of years ago the great sage Uddalaka Aruni sent his twelve-year-old son, Svetketu , to a great guru so that the boy could learn deeply about the ultimate reality. For a dozen years Svetaketu studied under his master and memorized all the Vedas. When Svetaketu returned home, his father noticed that his son acted as though he had learned all there was to learn. So Uddalka decided to pose the young man a question.

"My learned son, what is that thing which cannot be heard but makes hearing possible, which cannot be known but makes knowledge possible, whichcannot be imagined but makes imagination possible?"

Svetaketu was perplexed and silent.

His father said, "When we know a single particle of clay, all objects of clay are know. When we know a single grain of gold, all objects of gold are known. The difference between one piece of golden jewelry and another is only in its name and form. In reality all the jewelry is just gold, and all the pots are just clay. Can you tell me, my son, what is that one thing which by knowing all can be known?

Svetaketu replied, "Alas, my master did not give me this knowledge. Will you?"

"Very well," said Uddalaka. "Let me tell you.
"The whole universe is one reality, and that reality is pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is absolute existence. It is One that is not followed by a Second. In the beginning the One said it itself, "I shall differentiate into the many, and so become all the seers and all the scenery. The One entered into the many, and became the Self of each. The beings of all things are the One, and that One is the subtle essence of all thyat exists. You are that, Svetaketu.

"In this same way bees make honey from the nectar of numerour flowers, but once the honey is made the nectar cannot say, 'I am from this flower, or that.' So too, when you merge with your non-local Self you become one with the Self of all that exists. This is the true Self of all, and Svetaketu, you are that."

The young man replied, "Enlighten me more, my father."

Uddalaka paused before speaking. "The river Ganges flows to the east. The river Indus flows to the west. However, they both ultimately become the sea. Having become the sea they no longer think 'I am the Ganges' or 'I am the Indus.' So too, my son, ekverything that exists has its source in the nonlocal Self, and that Self is the subtlest essenc e of all. It is the true Self. Svetaketu, you are that.

"When the body withers and dies, the Self does not die. Fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, wind cannot dry it, weapons cannot shatter it. It is unborn, has no beginning or ending. It is beyond the boundaries of space and time, pervading the entire universe. Sevtaketu, you are that."

"Enlighten me more father," Svetaketu responded enthusiastically.

Uddelaka said, "Bring me a fruit of the nyagrodha tree."

Svetketu brougtht the fruit.

"Break it open."

Svetaketu did so.

"What do you see, my son?"

"Tiny seeds, father."

"Break one now."

Svetaketu broke open the tiny seed.

"What do you see, my son?"

"I see that nothing is left, father."

"That which you do not see is the subtle essence, and the whole of the nyagrodha tree comes from it. So too the universe sprouts forth from the nonlocal Self."

Finally Uddelaka asks Svetaketu to place a cube of salt into a pail of water. The next day the sage asks his son to give him back the cube of salt.

"I cannot give it back," the young man responded, "It has dissolved."

Uddelaka asked his son to taste the surface of the water. "Tell me, how is it?"

"It is salty, father."

"Taste it in the middle, and see how it is."
"It is salty, father."

"Taste it at the bottom, and tell me how it is."
"It is salty, father."

"Just like the salt is localized in the cube and dispersed in the water, so too your Self is simultaneously localized in your body and pervading the entire universe.

"My dear son, "Uddelaka said. "You do not perceive the Self in your body but without it perceptions would not be possible. You cannot conceptulize the Self, but without it conceptualization would not be possible. You cannot imagine the Self, but without it imagination would no be possible. However, when you become the Self and live from the level of this nonlocal Self, you will be connected to all that exists, because the Self is the source of all that exists. Truth, reality, existence, consciousness, the absolute--call it what you will, it is the ultimate reality, the ground of all being. And you are that, Svetaketu.

"live from this level, Svetaketu, and all your desire will come true because from this level they will not just be your personal desire, they will be aligned with the desires of all that exist."

Svetaketu practiced all that he had learned and became one of the greatest seers of the Ve3dantic tradition.

Thank you so much for that Dusty... from a lot of us. I'm sure there are many more who also feel grateful to you for this. Thank you for taking the time to do, and sharing it with us.
I don't think Dr. Chopra would mind too much, if at all... one couldn't assume on his behalf, but, I'm sure he would be happy knowing that these messages are getting out to more people. I would feel he would be infinitely more concerned with the knowledge and awareness spreading, than copyright and monetary issues.
Thank you for all this.

You are so welcome. What a nice reply.
Thank you.

Sad to see Indian mystics and legends are lavishly used to describe many trivial things .

Namaste' Mr. 'Bollywood'. To each his own.
It seems the conflict is one of your own chosing.
I have a high respect of Deepak Chopra's writings and his
sources, also. Be a gentleman and let it go.

Thank you.

I guess Deepak Chopra hold the owership of spirituality of this world and appointed someone to market it in cyber place You see a deepak chopra in every street in India .Please dont quote things you know only through Deepak chopra for starting with you dont even know what is the meaning of "Sutra" and trying to explain quantum phyiscs with juggling of words .its high time we must know what is Physcis and what is spirituality. a good exuse for wisdom

If Albert Enstien was alive he would have shot Deepak Chopra point blank and commited suicide ..How people distort Physics Oh god ..why is this hurry to connect Phyiscs with Spirituality ?

Subatomic partical can move at the speed of light .but they dont move like that always .There is no huge empy space in an Atom to move ..What a pure knowledge you are imparting

Create a life for yourself that is positive is my
suggestion. Where I get inspiration is up to me.

Take care of yourself.
All blessings to you.

What and who I am changes constantly. My awareness comes
from the people I am surrounded with. When I feel discontent
I 'will' look toward an avenue that provides me with light. I have the understanding that continuously reaching out for these
type pathways will help me become that which I attain to be.

I have found that the "source" of direction can only be found
within. I have truly found contentment with this method.

You will redifine the science of Physis .Subatomic particals are not entertainers to seek your attention .They are as reas as you and me . they have their own quantum numbers and coordinates . are you eyeing for Nobel prize for Physics with this theory ?

Unlike the other 2 basic coordinate ,space and matter .Time has a begining . You call yourself as spirit and say spirit is invisible .But I see your picture in connecting singles ? Please Spare Physics ...Beacuse people like me spent years to learn in and love it .Please

Wow .what a combination of words ..mathemetical ghosts ? so we all are composed of ghostes ? I am scared

Can you please explain this in English ?

So you shimmer like Las Vegas Lights ? lol .. great Ideas
