The encapsulation into Time - Space.
Every specie in the universe is encapsulated
in the Time-space. If this concept is
internalized, understanding the remaining
pages will be easy.
The story book with the title Gullivar’s Travel can be found in the Internet space. I read it when I was some 10 year old.
The concept one get after reading that story is “perception about life and objects around us vary with perceiver’s own physical dimensions”.
(1) The Physical Dimensions of life and objects that we perceive has a strong relationship to our own Physical dimensions.
Many of the readers who could recall their boyhood days might have memories that I have.
During my boyhood, I was sent to a small village, where my grand parents lived.
I remember that the distances between my house and the railway station appeared too long. The village looked to be so large that children cannot trace their home, when moved about all alone.
When I visited that village, some 25 years latter, I found the same village to be too small. It took just five minutes to reach the rail station.
(2) Time, (also one of the dimensions like height weight, length) also varies with the age / growth
Every life form has its own time-space.
They life their life typically for 100 years in their world. A Mosquito’s 100 years may equal to one day of human years.
Typically the dogs 100 years equal six to 10 years.
Smaller the life-time, the life occupies Time is one of the Greatest illusions of time.
In other words, ever life is encapsulated in Time Dimension.
If only we can break open from, greater portion of the universe will be revealed to us.
A Story in Eastern Scriptures that explain the Time as an illusion and how it affect ones life.
Narad & Maha vishnu
A Story from Devi Bhagavatham
The scriptures explains about Time-space.
I admire the ancestors who could explain the concept of time-space encapsulation, of life of different entities in Universe, through the following story:
The story:
Lord vishnu a celestial divine entity perhaps several trillion times our own SPACE-TIME number.
Narad muni is one who is allowed to go anywhere at anytime that’s why is a trylokya-ramani or the one who can roam or is roaming in 3 worlds viz heaven, hell, mrutuloka (earth or physical universe).
One day, the sage asked Vishnu to explain to him all about Maya.
Lord Vishnu offers the Sage Narada, a live demonstration rather than an explanation.
As a part of the demonstration, both descend to our plane. The place where they land on earth is a desert and both take a long walk. At some point, Vishnu says he is very tired and thirsty. He asks the sage Naradha to find out a water source and fetch a pitcher filled with water.
(Several epics amply suggest, irrespective of one being God, human or another other life forms, one has to go through what ever is applicable to that plane. This is Similar to any one visiting another country is bound by laws of the land ).
Sage Naradha walks for a long time. Finally he finds a small hamlet. He was sure he would find water from nearby lake or an oasis. Sage approaches the hut of the chieftain. There he meets the young and beautiful daughter of the chieftain and instantly falls in love with her.
Then, he is led to the chieftain who is currently on his death bed. The chieftain while solemnizing the marriage of his daughter with the sage, takes a promise from Sage Naradha (Who is supposed to be a Bachelor, for ever) that he would take care of his family and the community as well.
The old man dies. Naradha, the lone male member of the family performs the funeral and related rituals.
Now he has several tasks before him. work in the fields and feed the large family of his father-in-law. Also Get his sisters-in-laws married. Years roll-by and now he has his own children to care for.
After Several years , a natural calamity hits the desert. There is heavy rain for several days followed by flood.
Right before his eyes, his wife children the hut and everything is washed away by the gushing water. Sage Naradha was depressed. He walks along struck with grief, just then he hears a familiar voice.
It was that of Lord Vishnu.
He asked Sage Naradha, why did he not bring water for him. Further, he adds that I am waiting for several minutes for water.
Just then Sage Naradha started explaining the water source he found, the hamlet and its chieftain, the family of Chieftain, his own marriage, his children, the flood.
Maha vishnu asked Naradha, “You were away from me only for few minutes”, how can all that you said could have happened in a few minutes!
Lord Vishnu explains to Naradha that, this is the trick played by Maya!
An explanation, for some one who did not catch the key lesson, follows: Now that both Lord Vishnu and Sage Naradha descended from Vaikunta, the abode of or the Plane of Lord Vishnu, “ Lord Vishnu retains his Space-Time aspect specific to his abode, even after he arrived at our Human Plane.
Whereas, Sage Naradha was entrapped into the Space-Time of Humans.
Several years of Human Space-Time is just a few minutes of the celestial plane, which is Lord Vishnu’s natural abode.
