V. Three 'forms' make the Conscious man : a) Our coarse body or Material sloth. b) our subtle body or mind - intellect- Ego , and c) the Causal body or the consciousness part of our self/soul, (from the Collective consciousness ;like rain from the cloud ).And beyond even that, - is the cosmic or divine 's field.

KATHAMRITA (of SriRamakrishna ) by Shri M - V

(As I understtod )
I. Maggots might have the dream of their Heaven , full of rotten space with putrified food( human standard). Germs survive better in bad sore.
11. One's vital desire and disposition decides one's cherished passion and attachments , just as -if you have a family you have to dream of wealth.
iii.If one is married ,you are already within the dimension of Duality and worldly game.
iV.If you have anything new to say, sit tight and God will organise your Audience.
V. Ego is your ID & Ego is the generator of all your illusion too.
Vi. A bad 'Guru' is dangerous for both.(ike a water-snake trying to swallow a 'kola bang'( giant frog ).

! To attract ordinary people or crowd one has to device a popular way.
Ii. What is in-built or genetic will surface up overtime.
III. The psychic or spiritual quality advertise not; vital power always want to show off;
IV . If the prsident of U.S.A or P.M of India can have secretary and ambassadors, why can't God also send avtars or prophets to represent and deliver ?
V , Even the one who speak on behaf of God is but God's consciousness, because all consciousness both of subject and object has the single source.
vi . If the Absolute could manifest a 3d Virtual Universe by immutable power why can't god personify in 3d form by same power of Cosmic Illusion ( Maya) !.
Vii, without being in duality you can not venture to visualise God because the Seer and the Seen have to be seperate in time-space sphere. In Monistic Field ( Einstein's Reality), every thing is Unitary , incuding yourself.
VIII. Like Chameleon, god can change in colour or even in form.
IX.All our perceptions are Relativistic play on the frame-work of Time-space Dimension.
X. so long we feel that - we are , the World is real.So ong we depend on our sense and perceptions, -this world is very ,very real.
Xi. Get filled up according to your capacity; what is the use of speculating Infinite.

XIV, Hungry people talk about food; poor people will talk about money ; rich people will earn and spend and think less about wealth.
XV. Longivity is a blessing for those who want to know God.

KATHAMRITA : ( The way I under- stood it ) III

I. One can be Monistic or Dualistic or even both , -once one has realised GOD.. God has many dimensions and myriad of (cosmic)magic power.
II. our soul is the abode of the Divine , - not our body.; our mind is the center of our thoughts not our stomach.
III. If you become Sugar - you can not enjoy sugar. The learned men studies God ; the devotee enjoys him.
Iv. Only after transcending this gross universe you can realise the Divine.
V . The Sun and Sun-shine are inseperable and yet, - not the same thing.
Vi. Names and forms are only identification -guide ; Name-plate may be a help but is not the person.
VII. God and Universe are like Spider and its net ; Absoute do not create but only manifest ( for creation , one has to get matter from outside and ther is no 'outside' for the Divine .
VIII. The joy of a game is in its lasting . If te boxing is over with the first knock , buying the ticket is the biggest defeat.
IX, If one is not ready to renounce all, -how can one meet the Absolute ? If you do not forget all others how can you be with your lover?
X. One can only react according to his in-put - Out-put measure or (in one word ) 'Capacity'.
Xi. Even negetive thoughts / talks about others will pull you down. The time spent in finding faults with others is also the time lost from your ife.
XII. If you pray for all , you are automatically included.. If pray for yourself, you exclude the world.
Xiii.A cup , a glass , a bucket , when filled , are each one 'full' but the mass-content of each, varies according to each one's capacity.

XVI. A slave prays for physical freedom ; a spiritual one prays for relese from work.
XVII. Do not get entangled in work by choice. Do only what is forced upon by situation or fate.
XVIII. 'Work' is a very subtle trap unless one is un-attached .Work will fix you like adhesive tape.

.( Fist Part - Page -16 - 36)

If you have materia obigations or bondage , face them first. solve it within your capacity and then, transcend it to be free. and seek the higher plane.
Unitary 'Realisation is knowedge alone ; Divisional inclination and culmination is materialism.
Faith is the first step for spiitual cimbing ; Faith in spiritual path may be blind to strt with or genetic
[* faith of Columbus in Ladnd beyond the ocean was his belief without proof.]
More you are Conscious and aware, more you are towards monistic unity.
Financial security (not affluence) is a basic necessity but can not be the highest goal or ideal.
All life is expressions or manifestations of the Divine but that does not make all lives or men neither equal nor equaly divine.
A 2- liter pot can not hold 4- liter milk ; unless the capacity is expanded.
Be progressive and spiritual but be practical too.
Know the Word as it is ; a good play without a vilain would not be interesting.
Like non-poisonous and poisonous fruits in Nature there are good and bad people too for contrast. They all are necessary for Evolutionary Game.
Not that all fishes can be trapped in a fishing.-net, some are caught while a few tears off the net.. Same about being trapped in worldly life and bondage.Only one or two may escape -through.
Even God had to toi to manifest this universe but true devotion has only to believe and love
Once illuminated, you change like an addict ; afer the intoxication , the drug effect is gone and you reverse.
Live in this World like a bonded labour and always pray for the final release or 'freedom'.
Vitality and strong personality are potential strength for psychic build-up.
Live a lonely life ike a lion ; don't try to be popular without God's sanction.

'KATHAMRITA' _ - ( The way I Read) I

The gentle man by my side and seing that the book in my hand was on spirituality asked - 'Is thee a God sir '?
I turned and smiled to the young friend and asked back in reply -- what you mean by God and where is your 'there'? He looked puzzled and said -' God means one who created this universe '.' And what is your 'there'or where you expect that God to be.
He looked more puzzled, smiled back ,almost in surrender and replied-' You tell me !
And I replied with a smile -- " I dont know any 'there', where there is not God. And to me GOD/ ALAH/ SHIVA etc are only 'words' or 'logos' that is , -sounds wihout form or shape and each one of us shape 'that' with our desire and capacity.
" Does God depend on Our Capacity ?" - he retorted back almost as a winner.
I asked back - ' You are holding a cup in your hand ?' ' yes, so -what!' - He almost chalenged. I tried my last effort -' Can that cup contain a liter of milk or even water ?'. He gazed at me almost with a vacant look and said -' that means ? '
I completed my say - 'That means every one is free to shape God according to his capacity '...Several moments ,in sience, on either side, then he asked -'where from you got it ?' and I replied finally -' From "Kathamrita" or words of SRiRamakrishna, recorded by 'Sri M'. ...And it was time to leave the park.

CRASH PROGRAMME ! ( ON SPIRITUALITY)

( In Lighter Vein )

Yes , it is now available in Media - Ads. May be efective. but the Vedic scripture says any attempt to maditate on a single focus for less than 20 minutes (like oil poring down continuously ) is not MEDITATION . But 'ssekers are free to take guidance from any source, even from Media -Ads)
I remember a good story told to me by a friend that is as follows : - An eager person took a shaot -course for Meditation with a 'Guarantee' of success after practising for 2wks, paying $50 only. And he ventured. After 2 wks he sat and meditated and was expecting God knocking on his door any time, Even after 10 minutes gone and when he heard no knock , he got up and opned the door to see if the divine was waiting out side !......Afterward this frustrated devotee became an Atheist.
Don't know which SIDE won or lost!

FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

BASIC TENETS Of ISLAM :
(The FAITH AND FIVE PILLARS )

The Faith is the Foundation on which Five Pillars stand
'Islam ' is - Surrender to the will of Allah on this Worldly land.

First Pillar , Shahdah ,tells - no other gods than ONE
and Mohammad is the Prophet or else , there's none.

Second pillar the 'Salat' the daily way to pray
five times one should practise, - to tell their 'say'.

Third Pilar is 'Zakat', the Divine law of Lord
to give your one fifth to the poor or the 'have-not'.

With disciplines for a month ,-'Ramadan' the fourth Pillar
followed by festive joy -two days - of Id-ul- Fitr '

The final goal is Mecca - Haj if can afford or help
that's the 'Tenet' of Islamic Law , to full-fil step by step.

( After World religion - by Charles Monroe;(c) 1995 ;
Essence extracted and composed by Hiranmoy Gautom (phani Basu); while in U.S.A )in 2003 )

ESSENCE FROM ASHTAVAKRA SAMHITA

Neither you are Earth, nor Water Nor Fire , nor Air ,nor Space
Your are only the 'witness' of all , Consciouness-awareness.

If thou could seperate thyself from the body and rest in soul
you could even now transcend the 'world' and reach your Goal.

Feel like ,the Ocean thyself , fee - perceptual World as waves
that is the only Knowledge and none,else, to accept or reject.

Million times you were born and died, ; as many times suffered
At least now contemplate ; and withdraw from 'repeating' STAGE.

Do not run for crowd, nor escape to Forest , dear
Stay calm and detached ;whenever and whereever -you are.

If this body lasts for yons or death vists just now
How does it affect you, tell, thou the pure Consciousness.

Really liberated , - neither have time nor will or feel
or hankering after Mammon -world or even abhorence for it.

Shall ever find many greedy ones or even some with renouncing goal
Neither hankering nor renouncing one , -is only the liberated Soul.

Talk not ill of others nor praise ,nor be angry or over-joyed
nor eager to give nor willing to receive ,-that's the emanicipated poise.
( Capsular Form Trans pi rated by Hiranmoy Gautom in 1996, while in U.S.A)

BIBLE ( After St. Mathews)

THE BIBLE ( As I read it) Part -I
[after St. Mathews]

Live not by bread alone
Divine's words are better food ever known

Dare not put your God to test
deeper faith shall gude you best

What ever you do , do it in HIS name
al works are 'services' in living game.

Fishing fish is surviving need
fishing wise-men ( for God) is better ind-deed.

Blessed are those - pure in heart
even if (they) suffer, God won't desert.

Jesus came not to abolish things
but to full-fil and discard nothing.

No right to kill that you created not
forgiving is better ; approved by Lord

With lust in heart adultery you commit
it matters least, if by look or greed.

Don't swear by God or by head again
neither of them are in your domain'

Do what ever have to - as God's will
hate not your enemy , even if -have to kill'
(c) 2004; Hiranmoy Gautom

SUPREME SPIRITUAITY (AVADHUT GEETA ) II)

(after Avadhut GEETA Edited & compressed) II

Renounce the World if so desire
also renouce the word - 'renunciation' too
as both of them are complex thoughts
Be natural with youself and ascend.

Don't brood too much on 'Meditation'
Abandon the idea of good and bad
Enjoy your life without attachments ever
be more conscious with expanding awareness.

The Cosmos is neither divisible nor Indivisible ,dear
Neither the Divine works nor does rest
If everything is 'That' and within THAT
whom are we praying to or seek outside ?

Neither we nor our perceptions are real
all senses of divisions are ignorant's-game
If ever you can believe -you are THAT
whom will you salute here or beyond !

For real Yogi - no Meditation time
or,- he is never ever without it
he wings high and glides ,ever, effortlss
with in-built bliss and joy - within.

MY RELIGION
{After Avadhut Geeta Trans pirated , EDITED and compressed version } -I

When pots are broken , enclosed air is reLeased -free
if SouL is pUrified , alL sense of division/ seperation -vanish.

Some beLieve in Monistic Way; some in dualistic form
Neither one is the other, nor they are different
and the Divine is bound by none '

Even the immutabe is pervaded by that
but nothing can pervade the Divine
The First Cause even resides in THat
which pervades all and everywhere.

The out-going Mind finds the COSMOS
the higher Mind travels within
the mechanism is like that of coconut fruit
with its promordial water ever within.

The Full Moon may be the final form
one may not ,yet, realise that
yet other lunar shapes are real too
even though ignorants ever do contradict.(c0ntd)

'GRAND DESIGN' OF HAWKING

HAWKING Must be right . GRAND DESIGN should not need any regular or in-between intervention or Monitoring by the DESIGNER . The System or the COSMOS (within the field of RELATIVITY is made so AUTOMATIC and ETERNAL that the S O E A(Supreme Omnipotent Evolutionary Auyhority ) or First Cause can rest through Eternity without even waiting for ' EMERGENCY CALL'. The DESIGNING is so perfect within
"STRING " Theory and ' J-jump.' for any Eternal UNIVERSE(S).
Of course God may be 'Necessary' , I think, for conscious Living organisations for other purposes to help Humanity through REDEMPTION -Technology or other Ritualistic Tranquilising Therapy or social or even MASS - Administrative Methodology.
Otherwise, let the Divine rest in 'HIS' HOME of REALITY unless and until the DESIGNER decides HIMSELF , HESELF , or ITSELF (I don't know about the Gender).

VEDANTA SAYS : - 'That is neither He, nor She nor It' ( Na stree-shu , na pumaneshu ,na chaiba sa napungshaka [sanskrit]).

RELIGION VS RITUALISM
Four blind men offering inference on the bio-metry of an Elephant. That is the famous story told by SriRamakrishna to his disciples in 19th Centiuey (1980s).
That fits ,interestingly and seperately , to the Modern FOUR Fields i.e Gravitational ,E.M.F.,Weak Nuclear and strong Nuclear forces . In post Einstein Era attempts are being made and Scientific analysis are on and on and on to Co-ralate, integrate and Unify them to-wrds the final T.O E.
My , lay man's, insinuation is different. It is on Indian Field of BLIND MANS RELIGION. For last few months I am obcessed by the way the Puranic Reliigion or HINDUISM ( is there really a vedic Logo in the name of HINDU ? Or is it an INVADESR'(PERSIAN) distortion of our geographical Space and Ethnic CULTURE (SINDHU). Personally , I do not believe that I am not a Hindu though the essence of the reigion is deeply integated in me. Now to the main ISSUE:
There is a sanskrit 'Mantra' that is mostly recited as a Devotional Prayer in all
prayer meeting of every 'Hindu'-sects and Ritualisticaly ! It is :
"Akhanda Mandalakaarang byaptang jena Chara-charang // Tat -padang Darshitang Jena, Tasmai sri Gurabey Namo-ha" . Attempting to translate in English it comes closet to : Akhanda ie Indivisible; Mandalakarang = Spherical ; Byaptang jena Characharang = exteded ,as if , unto Eternity.
Now the the real meaning of this Mantra to me is like : "the Indivisibe and sphrical (Universe) that extends unto ETERNITY and the MASTER ( GURU) who shows me the feet of THAT , I salute that, my, Great Master or GURU.

Now ,after, I know this much with my limited capacity ,I naturally salute all the Vedic and vedantic Sages and also EINSTEIN and Cosmologists who are searching for the final protrait of COSMOS and its 'DESIGNER' or the First Cause.
Finally this 'Sloka' uttered in pre-Christrian Era by Vyasa DEVA (?) or a post Vedic Sage, and which stands almost on the same level of Einstein's Theory, has never been realy studied by Indian Scholars in depth and meaning but have been handed over to the ritualistic PUJA-Brahmis as a tranquilising therapy without knowing the real meaning of this GREAT MESSAGE.

RAJA YOGA VS COSMOLOGY

RAJA YOGA OR EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE OF SELF REALISATION

There is nothing mystical about it . Like the Modern science or Cosmology or PHYSICS , Raja Yoga is pure Experimental Science . Here the object (matter) of Experiment is MIND, The instrument of experiment(subject) is MIND and WAY of Experiment (Anaysis) is also the 'LAYERS' of MIND. In short The Meaning of RajaYoga is MEDITATION or is like any scientific Experiment of physics , Chemistry , Biology etc . Only , here, you have no external matter or sophisticated Laboratory but here you Return to yourself and TURN your mind on ITSELF like Mirror-light reflecting back on itslf and creating a state of SELF-ILLUMINATION.
So it is a wrong notion to think that RAJA YOGA has any thing to do with KIngly way or Royal Path as the Corrupt modern vocubulary tries like Media Hype of Modern iving. Really there was , perhaps no Real king or Kingdom when in Vedic Period the Sages of Bharat( now - India) estabished this Supreme way of tracing their Root to the DIVINE or FIRST CAUSE ( Like SEarch of Modern Cosmology)
I do not claim to be a scholar of this Supreme (raja) path of Spiritual Journey or Ascent. but my assett is the simple faith that by diving within myself I can find out the truth about all I see , hear , smell or find outside because by the claim of modern SCIENCE all perceptions are nothing but the outward play of Electtro-Magnetic Field on the objective Unuverse itself or SCREEN. So WHat is outside is really a perceptual play or outward reflection of what is within . A rough anaogy is like: with your Personal computer as mind and getting connected to INTERNET (the ROOT or the SOURCE) you can acquire all informations outside or Solve all Mystery of the UN-Known..
Thus without knowing thyself you can never know the COSMIC SELF or the First Cause.
Modern Science is chasing MATTER to its final form and ending only in Energy of EINSTEIN' S Formua ( E = MxC.scquare)and then chasing energy to its mathematical "STRING' and knitting unending patterns of return and rebound to the field of DIRAC's 'Nothingness' or (again) Einsteis magic 'BLUNDER' of Cosmological CONSTANT, thus undergoing metamorphosis of DARK ENERGY , then repeating Big Bangs , Endless Universes , Recycling Cosmos and now returning to the vedic Sages' Realisation of CYCLIC UNIVERSES of ENDLESS CYCLIC 'GRAND DESIGN' with the GOD or FIRST CAUSE or DIVINE ever BEYOND and not monitoring anything in ths MYSTIC GAME known our 'COSMOS'.
This brings us to the State of 'GRAND DESIGN ' of HAWKING who finds that Grand Design does nott need the constant monitoring or even GOD's 'presence' in the Disign which runs and rolls automatic. And I also believe so. Like the Inventor of CHESS GAME does not need to be present in every game that is played since . The Inventor is involved in the ruels of the game itself . And yet, to find or identify the inventor one has to move outside the field of the Game or 'DESIGN'.
There comes again the issue of the Field of RELATIVITY or COSMOS and the REALITY itself or the ADRESS of the DIVINE which Modern SCIENCE will never Know unless through RAJA YOGA OR TURNING the MIND on ITSElF. Being within the HOUSE or Relativity, you can never know the whole HOUSE i.e REALITY. SO ! TRANSCEND and KNOW.

SCIENCE VS RELIGION (conclusion)

The Greatest and best potentiality in SCIENCE and MOdERN COSMOLOGY is that they are truely following the path and ideals of SAMKHYA PHILOSIPHY of VEDANTA , Where you are free to challenge any faith or belief until the real Truth stands on itself. While in RELIGION , blind faith and UN-realised antique-beliefs are carried on and on, for more social/Ethnic/Political interests than re-discovering the TRUTH. We Don't want anymore BRUNO-s or Galileo-s to suffer in the hand of 'Blind Faith'.
From the day of our World as the singular Universe, to the present Century of Mutiple verses and 'STRING' as the Ultimate immutible mother force giving birth to galaxies and repeating Big-Bangs, Science deserves the credit of faults , fauilures and ultimately overcoming all barriers through admissions and re-trial, while EASTERN Wisdom through introspection , contemplation , Meditation , Self-expansion has almost excelled and reached ahead at the door of Fina Revelation. Yet the difficuty for Eastern sages have been that what you can experience , maynot be proved by material display. because here the whole experience is within yourself , [inward and not on External Universe]. The same way, Modern Science is ever chasing the Atom which is even more speedily diminishing beyond measurable entity(string) and also beyyond the Field of perceptual level , threateneing to be an invisibe mathematical Specuation.( Concluded)

COSMIC BIOLOGY Vs HUMAN ROBOTS -VII

Finaly, after Modern COSMOLOGY has scaled and climbed up to the height of, 'String' & M- Theory & Mutiple-verses and acceptance of possibiity of living planets through out the depth and span of COSMOS , I venture the un -authorused statement that, even the 'UN-certainty Principle' of HEISSENBERG may be true only in the Field of RELATIVITY but may not be 'Uncertain'in the Field of 'REALITY' of the DIVINE (FIRST CAUSE). And also, Water and carbon may not be a MUST for every plane & field of living COSMOS.
There may be other possibilities & other ' physics' in other dimensions of Cosmos. In 1883 when any other living planet outside our Solar system was taken as a psychological pathology and even before Radio Technoogy (1886), a realised Spiritual Giant in India Sri Ramakrishna said openly (recorded ), with his Spiritual experience (not faith only) that there are millions and bilions of iving worlds ,like teeming crabs darkening the mansoon Gangetic stream.
And if virus can sustain itself with only DNA and without cellular boundary, why can there be not other patterns of living Biology based on silicon or other alternatives ? Well, I do not know the answer nor I know if any one else does. It is better for human intelligence , a damn minority in the Living COSMOS, to submit to --"there are more things in Heaven & Earth than are dreamt of in your phylosophy'( borrowing from Shakespeare). - [Contd)

COSMIC BIOLOGY OR HUMAN ROBOT - VI

The Cosmic Game of Life and living can be interpreted in another way : Our Existence and Life is like a 7 story Building represented in our blood by Hormonal /chemical- regulators and in our Spinal Chord and Brain by Neuroogical centers, from Base of the Spinal Chord up to the top of our Brain ( From Sacral plexus and up-wards through Coeliac , Cardiac plexuses and then through Cranial nerves unto the Central Nervous system i.e from cerebelum to the cerbra cortex).
In INDIAN TANTRIK Revelations 9 Experimental Reaslisation), they have found Seven Chakras in Our Spinal column and unto the Frontal lobe of Brain. The main source or center of our Life's Primal Energy is the KUNDALINI[SEX- center] at the Base of our Spinal Chord where from Energy climbs and flows upward (through Medha nadi or filed up Spinal Canal) involving , infuencing and integrating all other centers above and thus evolving our Life -Force ultimatey to the Level of COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS ( beyond even Collective Consciousness )to fuse and integrate our individual ife to the UNIFIED level of COSMIC UNITY.
May be, I have been able to tell my Feeling and thoughts in layman's terms or may be , I have not. But I have tried with my very limited Knowledge and some bits of experience en-wrapped with my Faith., to tel that we all are robotic Instruments of higher and cosmic integrated force or field and we respond only as our 'Hormones' direct.

ROBOTS - ROBOTS - V

That's it and we are all
Robots mobile , dwarf or tall
Programmed like a Computer set
with sensors shaped like receiving net
Move and act on given Planes
seem lively , pay Lively games
and designed to simulate Human form
the set patterns are our iving norm

Robots are we and you too are
powered by HIM in SoLar Sphere
Padded by matter of Eectron -trick
the five Elements - our physical bricks
and three more Elements join to stay,
to stage the show of puppet - Play
and powered by His ' Magic ilght'
Robots love and robots fight
Robots ! Robos, - oh! cosmic toy
Jump or Zoom and weep ; - enjoy

COSMIC ROBOT - IV

HUMAN COSMIC ROBOT : ANATOMICAL EVOLUTION

His name was Dr. Pashupati Basu M B.B.S. Only. Yet our professor of Anatomy in MedicaL College , Calcutta and I was a Medical student , first year in 1949. I have not met a better teacher than him who could teach his students (his subject) better better than him . Even FRCS aspirants , those days ,would come and attend his class lecture. I was so magnetised and mesmarised by his lecture that , even to day, I can remember his musical voice and masterly poise as : " the difference between human being and lower animals is based on five variations. They are : 1) Liberation of hands 2) Erection of vertebral spine 3) Apposition of thumb 4) Binocular Vision and 5) dropping off of tail..... [and sharply facing his students he said to us, in front of Girls -] "though some of you , have not dropped your tail yet '" ....... and the effect , I can,even now, visualise, was electric !
Since then I have always nurtured those words so many times over them and learnt the process of EVOLUTION better.
Really the whole process of Evolution unto the homosapien evolved so slowly and so apty according to the bioogical necessity in life and his lecture even to day, helps me to sketch out so many changes in Evolution as NATURAL Scientific culminaton in shape, size and growth.
And with more advancing time , I learnt that we are more ike a biological Machine with an Internal Symphony of hormonal (Chemical ) orchestral Play. And in 1990s , while in U.S.A I wrote a Poem in 'POETRY .com , titled 'Human Robots' , which I shall put up next.

HUMAN ROBOT OR COSMIC BIOLOGY -III

So , on EVOLUTIONARY Ladder we now reached the Heart CENTER( no IV -level) with our windows opening up to vaster space and we are inquisitive about the world , sky , Sun , moon and stars, beyond us, and we are undergoing Metamorphosis unto a Social, scientific(samkya or Rationaistic)man covering , searching for Spiritual force manipulating us and Field force navigating our UNVIVERSE (s).
And we want to express and record what we find or Feel. Thus we have turned into a historic , scientific and Spiritual Man at the level of our throat Centre ( no V ;Kanttha Chakra). The journey on- ward and upward for COSNCIOUS MAN tryin to exceed Himself and reaching beyond , like a VOYAGER or Space-ship.
Between our eye-brows, just above the nose is the location of the Mysterious and Mystic PINEAL Gland ( no -VI, in front ofPituitary , where Eastern WISDOM declares the Terminal Station ( Aajna Chakra) or the Centre for Vision for Immutable Cosmos beyond the reach of Perceptual Universe. When a man reaches this Stage , he becomes a man of Cosmic -Vision or Shakespare or Einstein or Motzart, Bethof ven etc ( so many names).
And from this center and exceeding , -Our Spiritual Giants ,Saints , Realised people like Jesus , Sri Ramakrishna , Raman, Aurobindo and all other spiritual personaities took off for merging or melting or being ONE with Collective Consciosnes and ultimatey to be ONE with DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS. This Center above our 'HEAD' is knoen as 'SAHASRA' ( no - VII ) or center for Cosmic Unity.
The rough analogy can be the Personal Computer getting connected to the INTERNET to gain al Informations and Knowedge about 'Everything and All' unto the ADRESS of the FIRST CAUSE or DIVINE [God , Allah , Ishwara or SHIVA( whatever name ! -"will sma as sweet").(contd).

COSMIC BIOOGY OR HUMAN ROBOT - II

Now consider our human Exixtence by imagining our physical Existence as an Equiateral Trainge and take the base line representing our Birth, Existence, Expansion and Reproduction .[Spiritual or Vedantik way of explaining the COSMiC Bioogy]
From base level to the Apex of the Triange , the vertical line represents the up-ward growth by six centers controlling or influencing our whole life and living process by Six Centers. They are 1), Muladhar ii) swadhistthan III) Manipura ( upto our naval or belly-button level). These are bsic Centers of Living- Bioogy. They are our Life's esistence and Expansion and co-ordinated adjustment with our physical Environment both inside and outside the body or NATURE). The master of these three centers( Sex, sustenance and expansion) is known as our Vital center . Our Sex- gland being the most important basis of living and ,existennce and expansion along with the supra-ranal [CORTICAL AND ADRENALINE CENTERS ) that make the basis or Infrastructure of our living. Upto these evel we re mostly like other bioogical beings including animals ( we are 'ANIMALS' too with, of course, a gift of expanding Consciousness)
As we climb further and higher to our Heart Centre( not 'Anatomical Heart' but Body-sense-Mind and Psychic( luminated mind, from SOUL or Cosmic Mind) we cease to be like Base- animals of Reflex - behavior( animals are no worse than man but on a stage of conditioned living because they have not by themselves to decide what they have to do for iving. According to EASTERN or VEDANTIK Faith We Human-s were somewhen, animals too on Evolutioary Scale)
So , now rising up to Heart Centre , we find the door/window of our individual Consciousnes being further illuminated by Cosmic -Luminosity and see and feel more than our own self or physical interests. From this level onwards or up-wards we become a Social man towards aspiration of Unitary Existence. Let me compare this junction( heart centre) with INTER_NET CONNECTION of an Individual PC (CONTD)

COSMIC BIOOGY OR HUMAN ROBOT - I

COSMO-BIOOGY OR HUMAM ROBOT

Yes that is what we all are . Not only Human species but all living beings too. I shall try to estabish my thoughts and thesis by taking Human life as an Exampe with my background knowledge (acquired) of human physiology and Biology :
We human beings have nine sets of Endocrine Glands in our body that pours specific chemicals in our Circulating Blood to work at an integrated functional level and excite or stimulate us to receive and react to external conditions of Nature or Internal environment of our bioogical functional receptions and reactive responses that we know as our life and living conditions. Let us know these Endocrene Glands : i) We have two within our brain and they are Pituitary Gland and Pineal Gland. Then we have on the front part of our neck two sets of Glands i.e iii) Thyroid and IV) Para thyroid Glands . The next set of Autonomic systems are our V) Vagus ( Cranial Nerve X ) and VI)sympathetic Nerve tracks infuenced by parasympathetic and sympathetic system thatt control our Vital (Respiratory and Metaboic functions).
Next in our abdomen we have the VII ) Pancreas that makes and secretes insulin to regulate our Glucose level and storage of it in liver( Glycogen). Next comes the set VIII) of Gand sitting on the top of our kidneys and known as Supra -Renal. They9Sreroids) function as Emergey Agents to deal in CRISIS of body Function .
Last of all, to mention, but most important for our Existence by Expansion through fertiity and Reproduction is our IX) sex Glands .
Thus we have nine sets of Autonomic hormonal reguatory levels that seperately and jointy regulates our body and mind to make us feel that we are iving beings on the COSMIC level of EXISTENCE that we call LIFE..
I have, here , tried to draw a sketch of Living process in lay-man's term and that I call the COSMIC BIOLOGY or HUMAN ROBOT and , onward , shal try to explain our existence and State of living on that term ( CONTD)
