The Experiment

The Experiment

“Let us explain this in terms of science” , the Yogi was on a roll, “ there is light, which is the source. We place a prism, which is a medium, we have a screen, a recipient, that on which we want a projection, and finally, we have the projection itself, a rainbow, the desired result. A small miracle understood and performed by science. The final projection is beautiful, you could go on admiring this beauty endlessly. Finally you will become curious to probe into the way it all works, you yearn for a deeper understanding. So, without light, which is the source, say God, there is no experiment. Without the medium, say Shakti, God’s creative power, there will be no projection, without the screen, say Earth, there is nowhere to project the projection. When all the three are placed together in a studied manner, we get the fourth, the projection; life? You must note that this result brings alive the manifestation of the beautiful colours hidden in light, which is colourless in its purity. In absence of the experiment, it cannot reflect itself, by remaining in itself. This is the way Shiva needs to reflect himself. Now, are the projected colours real or unreal, truth or illusion? Meditate upon this,” He concluded.
