after thought - The Question

“Praise thy lord”
Why do we say it, to whom are we praising?
This is question which has been in my mind, constantly pinching my intellect, of why I, you, we have to do it. To whom are we referring? It’s been said, and I have been, like you had been hearing from older generation to do the same. But have you, we, tried to reason with them of why and whom and what?
I didn’t to. But I’m constantly am in battle with self whether to believe it or not. I chose not to. Then something beautiful happened. And I was pulled by thought maybe, it was his way. By “his” I mean God. I thought what would happen possibly if is beloved in “it”. To tell you, it has been worth it.
If at all there’s some supernatural power, with awesome resource of energy and simply control over creation and destruction of their own creation. Wouldn’t you want to know why someone will ever, ever, ever think of destruction of their own creation? Or am being plain selfish of keeping my things which I like or love, close to myself and never ever destroy them. Its sheer stupidity in one way.
So we return to basic question of why. Why have we to praise something we don’t understand?
If he loves us and is “the creator” of world. Why does he pull some people early?

after world - Dumbest death in history

Dumbest death in history

Francis Bacon: One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a philosopher, a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of Shakespeare’s plays.

How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken. One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by the wondrous notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that salt was used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby village, killed it, and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken full of snow to freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.

Jerome Irving Rodale: Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of “Organic Farming and Gardening” magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.

How he died: On the “Dick Cavett Show”, while discussing the benefits of organic foods. Rodale, who bragged “I`m going to live to be 100 unless I`m run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver,” was only 72 when he appeared on the “Dick Cavett Show” in January 1971. Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of death: heart attack. The show was never aired.

Aeschylus: Greek playwright in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.

How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.

Jim Fixx: Author of the best selling “Complete Book of Running,” which started the 70's jogging craze.

How he died: A heart attack….while jogging Fixx was visiting Greensboro, Vermont when he walked out of his house and began jogging. He’d only gone a short distance when he had a massive coronary. His autopsy revealed that one of his coronary arteries was 99 percent clogged, another was 80 percent obstructed, and a third was 70 percent Blocked….and that Fixx had had three other attacks in the weeks prior to his death.

And finally there’s Lully, the 16th-century composer who wrote music for the king of France. While rehearsing the musicians, he got too serious beating time with his staff, and drove it right through his foot. He died of infection.

Spirituality : Life after Death

all you guys might be wondering what has happened to me, how i come switch myself to this situation :P
relax, i haven't deviated from the original topic of cosmos, universe, but just taking to the other side of theories of cosmos, to be precise, I'm going to talk from Indian point of view.
lets first see whats life.
we can certainly define "not dead" as "alive" or "full of life"
but this is unclear, since we don't have fixed clear and independent definition of life
does life means consciousness?
consciousness in terms of knowing whats going around us, feeling the feel, feeling pain, joy, sorrow etc
seams simple isn't it
but tell me one thing that if this is consciousness then what about those people who as in coma?
they cannot feeling anything in medical terms yet we categorize them as undead or alive

here the whole definition of "life" or "alive" changes
i say, we don't know yet what is life and being alive actually means.
for understanding the meaning or getting definition of life we have to look into our Upanishads they have great deal of knowledge about what i life and what is death
talking of death lets explore this section as well

so what is death
again as it has been defined, death is the state where one looses consciousness
but here we can look towards those unfortunate people who are, or were in coma.
so what is life and death,
it has been question of ages long that what happens after death, what happens to that particular person that dies?

what is lost of him?
to this i would like to introduce you to a well known person, gawd :P
i don't believe in god, but i believe in cosmos, and its also called bhramand
Brahmans actually means big, very big, very very big
it has been clearly stated in Upanishads and Veda Purana's that god is everywhere
by this they actually meant that god is Brahmans,
as i earlier stated in my blogs that matter and energy are inter-convertible.
so?
so whats the deal with this has to do with god or Brahmans,
you still didn't get it?
well think about it, there is this universe, and there is our small earth, on this small earth we are smaller, and in us, yet smaller is our heart and brain, and still smaller are those cells, and it is made up of matter
just the same matter of which the universe,
those cells have energy which is again we get from matters we eat
so aren't matter and energy inter convertible?
then what has "the god" has to do with creation at all?
if matter and energy was inter convertible then there was no need of super power,
or if i say correctly then there was no need of "god", then why in India we have 56 crore god and goddess?
how come they even came into existence
if we go back to over holy books, specially Gita we find Krishna preaching Arjuna when Arjuna said why he would have to kill his own people, and wont he be a sinner,
to this Krishna said the same thing which i have been blabbering but in different language.....he simply said, souls cannot be created nor destroyed, they are always there, only there bodies die.
isn't this similar to what we are discussing today?
coming back to the title, life after death
if we believe Krishna and Einstein then we have something in us that never "dies" or "cease to exists"
what is that, we don't know
who gave us that, we know
yes the universe gave that power to us, in us, to be immortal in some other sense which we have yet to know, yet to discover.
some people say they saw ghost of there loved one
on medical terms they are delusioned, on Adhyatmik terms they have just seen the soul, that particular power of cosmos or universe which has been given to us, and if we continue believing Krishna then according to him those are the souls who haven't overcome earthy values etc etc.....
I'm not comfortable even with this idea and find this very, utterly controversial to even to complete the sentence, as i believe in science and universe, i will just add and say same thing what he said in today's clear language,
when people see ghost, they might come across the power of universe which hasn't yet found balance or enough energy to convert itself into another matter, too keep the balance of universe that energy keeps wandering which might be experienced by some very delicate and sensitive persons.

however, i haven't yet come across any such experience, and my mind says i have yet to understand and receive this awesome power of understand the greater being and heart says that I'm not meant to understand it yet.......................

this might shock you the least that i am and Atheist.
