Nuclear Point Where Unity Is Our Destiny

Nuclear Point Where Unity Is Our Destiny

People advance towards Parama Purusha by virtue of their devotion – the microcosmic point advances towards the nuclear point of Parama Purusha. The closer it gets, the more it realises the proximity of the macrocosmic nucleus. For example, the more a drop of water is advancing towards the sun, the more it gets converted into vapour, and when it attains the closest proximity to the sun, it becomes simply a round ball of fire.

Similarly, the more the microcosmic point advances towards the macrocosmic point, the more it imbibes the qualities of the macrocosm.

In the beginning, the microcosmic point possesses only microcosmic qualities. It is only a sadhaka, spiritual aspirant; a Radha, one who does aradhana or constant cosmic ideation.

The more a seeker advances, the more his qualities change. When, in the process, you come into close proximity with the nucleus, you lose your micro qualities and acquire the qualities of the object of ideation.

Vidyapati says that while thinking of Krishna, Radha was so radically changed inwardly that her entire mind transformed into Krishna. At this stage there can no longer remain two points ­ they become one. The jiva, unit being, merges with Krishna. Ultimately there can be no duality ­ it simply cannot survive. There are many who argue, “I exist and my Lord also exists. I don't want to merge with the macro; I don't want to become sugar; I want to eat it.“ “I“ and “sugar“ ­ there are two entities. “I“ and “my Parama Purusha ...so I can feel waves of joy on listening to stories about Him.“ But if you remain close to the nucleus for a long time, your individual existence is bound to be lost ­ the unit being will inevitably become one with Parama Purusha.

When you have a strong desire to eat sugar, your mind becomes associated with the sugar. You are so determined to enjoy the sweet taste that if someone speaks to you, you do not reply . You are not even concerned about the colour of the sugar: your mind is focussed only on eating it. As all your psychic energy and propensities rush towards a single entity , you succeed in tasting it. Even then, two entities are present ­ you and the taste of sugar. But when you swallow it there are no longer two entities ­ the two become one. Similarly , when you move towards Parama Purusha, you lose your existence and experience unity . When 1+1=2, this is the first stage. When 1 + 1 = 1, this is the second stage. When 1 + 1 = “What? I do not know,“ this is the final stage.

Some seekers are dualists out of ignorance and say, “O Lord, You are sandalwood and I am water.” The jiva bhava, microcosmic stance, is concentrated in the muladhara chakra, and Shiva or Parama Purusha, the nuclear point, resides in the controlling point of the pineal gland. Now if we compare Parama Purusha to a condensed form of sandalwood paste and the jiva bhava at the muladhara chakra to water, then the more the water flows towards the sandalwood through the sushumna canal, the more it imbibes the qualities of the sandalwood, thereby losing its original characteristics.

When in this process it reaches the controlling point of the pineal gland, it completely loses its original characteristics and assumes those of the sandalwood. Similarly, when the jiva bhava approaches close to the Supreme, it is no longer “You exist, O Lord, and I also exist,” but “You exist, O Lord, only You exist.”
