Unfinished Symphony

I know you all would laugh at this blog, but believe me after reading and watching about the life and work of Albert Einstein , I really feel sad about the greatest scientist of our century , who in fact was trying to read the Mind of GOD. Was it needed ??
Einstein was curious to know , given a chance , how would he created a universe .
Einstein once said that he is not clever , he is just curious . Curious the way children are , so by heart , he was always a child .
At a time when Quantum mechanics was at its peak , the well known physicist Niel Bohr had an argument with Einstein where he said that the world was no more predictable than a throw of a dice . Einstein replied “ GOD doesn’t play dice “ . In response , Neil said “Plz stop telling GOD what to do with his dice
In principle what Einstein was trying to say is that if all the conditions and circumstances are knowing , like air pressure , motion etc when a dice is thrown , the outcome can be predicted .
But at heart he know , there still exist an “ Unknown condition “ = may be GOD
May be its true , where science and curious mind ends …. Spirituality starts .
On 18th April, 1955 , Einstein left his body …and we lost a genius who was looking for GOD with his reasoning mind , more than emotion and surrender .

Holika Funeral

My society was ready to celebrate Holi and so a day before , Holika burning function was too organized . All the society was gathered and various rituals were performed around the bonfire arrangement. They were offering rice , flowers to the Holika .
But for me these festivals don’t bring any more happiness . They just make me sad and I am reminded of my Holi in Bokaro along with my family and MAA. In the evening when the holika was burnt, it was as if I was in the funeral of my mother and burning the same .
Just with her departure , the meaning of festivals have changed for me . Still wonder , why she left me alone .

Mysterious Force

I have been fascinated about DIVINE and I never question the existence of GOD. I too have the support of the greatest scientist of 20th century Albert Einstein who too believes in GOD , but terms it as “Mysterious force”.
He says :
I'm not an atheist and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's pantheism, but admire even more his contributions to modern thought because he is the first philosopher to deal with the soul and the body as one, not two separate things.
Amazing thoughts ….isn’t it

The divine within

Its amazing , and it always touch me when I read Dohas of Kabir .
In one of the doha he says ,
Translation
Like seed contains the oil, fire in flint stone
Your temple seats the Divine, realize if you can.
We all always think of what exactly is GOD . Kabir reveals the truth and says that as in anti-seed oil is present , but till the time we don’t put energy , the oil is not visible. Same way , till the time the flint stone is not rubbed, fire is not visible .

Kabir thus says that the body which is the temple has divine within. This divine is the portion of the supreme ( soul ) in our true self. We are unaware of this reality because of our ignorance and awakening

Big Thank You !!

It was in the year 2008 , Feb . We were going to Kolkata from Bokaro . All of us were completely broken and empty since it was just 10 days that we lost our mother . We were in the 1976 made Fiat of my father and just before Durgapur, the car broke down. Complete engine oil leaked and we were standing helpless by the side of the road. After much effort , I got an auto and went to a petrol bunk . Got the oil and then there was no means by which I can come back. Tried a lot for lift but didn’t worked. Finally one truck driver stopped and I thanked him and sat inside . He dropped me near the car and when I tried giving him tips , he straight forward refused . I was astonished .
He helped me when I needed the most without even knowing me. If met again , I would again like to say a “Big Thank You “
