Reality -
Ultimate,Real & Alternate
What can be possibly wrong with a person who things about all
this nonsense?right. Well ..How many of you know what reality
is abstract kind of thing..yah.80% of the people say reality is
things i can see and feel.17% dont know what you are talking about
and 3% say mix oif real and unreal..
We
,if you can see..are always learning ...from the time of birth
like all are like an unformatted floppy disk...with nothing on
...Then our parents make it bootable..means breath there philosophy
into us..I am your dad and thats your mom....and no you can't
call that nurse babe.
Fixed
code of conducts and beliefs evolved through ages along with knowledge
make us behave like we do today.As thoughts do not feed us we
always find working out most of the time .And in this chaos we
have no time to think about us /ourself "aham".
Reality
according to me from the point of view of a third party is the
presence of you and me and all those around me.
Fixed
code of conducts and roles are not assumed real because somebody
from outside cannot see it or know that it exists unless someone
tells him .It can also be called unreal because there is no individual
existence for it.It is also assumed real because multiple people
see it and support it as essential.Concepts of friends ,enemies
,parents ,brother hood ,monogamy are all assumed real and essential
over the ages just because others say it is there or you think
its there at some point of tme.
Alternate
reality fills
the vaccum created by reality.For example reality does not have
any fixed style of getting out of troubles.Reality shows whats
there and nothing more.A person trapped in debt finds in reality
a prosecution and life in crossroads .He somehow hopes to get
out of it.Hope which is not real in the sense it has not happened.when
you hope u tend to visualise things for atleast a second.Alternate
reality lives in few seconds like this.
Since
what he saw was not real it is not reality .but what he saw was
defenitly things he knew in reality.Since he can explain things
to someone of what he saw we can exclude fantasising .Since we
don't think what we saw was real we can exclude it from hallucination
too.
Alternate
reality with roles can be power-tools in the hand of a good player
of mind games.But beware don't get trapped in the roles you play
in reality and alternate reality.
Ultimate
Reality Hindiu
sages tells us that the essence of all things is brahman.What
is brahman?The chandogya upanishad 6-8 explains.a story.
"Brings
a fruit from the banyan tree"says the father .
The son ,brings it . "Break it "
"It is broken ,revered sir".
"What do you see in this ."
"Tiny little seeds ".
"Break one ".
"What do you see now ."
"Nothing sir".
"My dear child from the subtle essence you percieve,stands
the mighty banyan tree.That subtle essence is the root and ground
of all these.That subtle essence is brahman.That which is tiny
is the atman of all.
According
to the view,the ultimate-reality(brahman)can be viewe from two
aspects.transcendantal and immanent(personal)..In its its transcendal
aspect reality is called nirguna brahman,that is brahman without
attributes.it is concieved as of oneand undifferentiated,both
static and dynamic ,as the ultimate principle underlying the universe."Brahman
is whom speech cannot express,and from whom the moind unable to
reach him ,comes away baffled."states the taittriya upanishad.
Nirguna
brahman is not and object of prayer ,but of meditation and knowlwdge.It
cannot be described and the most one can sayit is absolute existence,absolute
knowledge,and absolute bliss(sat chit anada).It is unborn,self-
existent ,all pervading,and the ground and essence of all thingsand
beings in the universe.According to maitri upanishad brahman is
beyond conception,immeasurable,unapproachable,beyond borth,reasoningand
thought.
