I have written before about thought as an energy form. I
wrote about the importance of thoughtlessness stage to conserve the energy,
which is dissipated with each and every thought that arises in our mind. Here I
will try to explain why we need to conserve the energy to achieve
self-realization.
We
have learned from chemistry class about the basic structure of an atom. Atom is
a basic unit of matter that consists of a dense central nucleus surrounded by
negatively charged electrons. In 1913, Niels Bohr suggested that electrons were
confined into clearly defined orbits. An electron must absorb specific amounts
of energy to move further from the nucleus and vice versa, energy electron
emits specific amounts of energy to move nearer to the nucleus. I have
illustrated in the diagram below.
Now let us look at our body composition in terms of material
and tissues, which are muscle, fat, bone, teeth, brain, nerves, connective
tissue, blood, lymph, urine and air in the lungs. However in terms of atomic
composition, 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements which
are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. In a simple
term, we are made up of trillions of atoms. Now let me illustrate how
conservation of energy affect the fundamental chemical bond between these atoms
in or body. I have explained in great
detail about how energy and thought related to each other in my previous
posting (refer to “thought is energy”).
Through thoughtlessness stage, so much of energy could be conserved and
it is important to bring us to higher energy state level. Similarly it is
proven that meditation increases energy levels via various ways; reducing basal
metabolic rate, reducing heart rate, more effective oxygen consumption and by
synchronous vibration of molecules in the body. In a simple term, in a
meditative state our body goes into hibernation similar like how animals
hibernate to conserve energy.
In
a molecular level, this increase in energy translates into electron migration
further or away from the nucleus. In other words, the further the electrons
move away from the nucleus, the electrons have a higher energy state.
Now
in gross physical body level, I called the movement of these electrons
outwardly, in which tremendous energy conservation is needed as a state of
higher energy level and not individual energy. The merging of individual energy
with cosmic energy is only possible in this higher energy level. The more the
energy is centered towards the nucleus, the lower the chances for the
individual energy to merge with that of cosmic energy.
The
person with lower energy level is more self-centered. To move from the centre
outwardly towards the cosmic energy, energy conservation is needed. Energy
conservation is only possible through meditation and thoughtlessness stage. Similarly,
as I have described before, the movement of this energy outwardly from centre
to periphery will make us more sensitive towards other form of energies. We
could sense other people’s energy or aura. The person with higher energy level could
sense more easily the cosmic or divine energy. Self-realization is nothing but
a state of highest energy level. To achieve that state, one must bypass the
individual energy and move to cosmic or divine energy. In that higher energy
state, different plane of manifestation of divine mother could be better
understood. Hope all of us are blessed to achieve that state. Aum Sadguru.
