It was a dull and mundane day. Humidity was high. Temperatures were soaring. Perspiration ruled. This was a perfect setting for introspection. And what better topic to intrsopect than the basic unsolved question of my existence.
Unsolved, because the amount of literature, thought streams and teachings that exist on this subject can hardly be ever read by one peson in one lifetime, leave alone understood. Each stream claims to be the TRUTH, some revealed, some analyzed and some deduced. Some can be verified, others can be experienced while some others can be discarded or accpeted.
So, a thought stuck me. Just as on the monitor of a computer, we see a beautiful graphic and love it. But inside the processor or on the hard disk it just a combination of some unintelligible letters and numbers. The operating system or the software converts these letters and numbers into a graphic for us to view.
Could it be possible that such a software exist inside our minds which allows us to not see the letters and numbers and visualize only the graphic (MAYA). In which case, all our attempts to understand the TRUTH will be futile.
Is that what Arthur C Clarke hinted at in 2001: A Space Odyssey and currently the great mathematician Steven Wolfram tries to prove in his pathbreaking book " A New Kind of Science". Could the esoteric's belief in awakening the KUNDALINI be the attempt to acquire the new software which will portray the reality as reality?
Who Knows.
