The Light Illuminating The Sun.
What serves as light for this World ??
Even a small boy can answer this question.
Is it not the Sun makes the World Luminous with His radiant light??It not only illuminates this world of ours, but also sustains and nourishes it. But you
maybe surprised when you are asked about the light
that illuminates the sun. It maybe slightly difficult to
answer it at the very outset.But if we think deeply, an answer to this question is not beyond our reach. Q is
what serves as light for a man ? The question is about the light that helps us to perform various activities. The question has been phrased keeping the ordinary man in mind. The term "ordinary man" implies one who has identified himself with the physical body and organs, as is natural. The analysis began from the external world, proceeded step by step and finally finds the solution in the inner world. The answer as solution is with the help of light from the Sun, the Moon and the Fire, Man performs his various activities. Q again when the Sun and the Moon have both set and the Fire has gone out, what serves as light for a man?"Speech ( sound) serves as Light".
Now a Q, How can speech serve as light for a man?
Imagine having gone shopping on a rainy day. Owing to the violent storms there is power failure in the city. It's dark everywhere. You are not able to see your own hands. You stand still, not knowing what to do. Then, you hear your dog barking and move in the direction from which the sound is heard and search for your home. In the same way, in the dark,
the fragrance of flowers can function as light for us.
Now a Q arises, what serves as light for us, when we are not in the waking state?
In the waking state, the Sun, the Moon, the Fire etc.
serves as light for us. But what serves as light for a man when he is in the dreaming state and in deep sleep state?
Important journey.....
Many mathematicians and Scientists have found
solutions to their problems in dreams. Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest mathematicians the world has seen, was one such. Kekulay was able to discover the ring structure of Benzene (C6H6) in the dream. While dreaming, too, one meets friends, talks with them, and goes to different places - all with some sort of Light. From deep sleep, one again
awakens with the remembrance that one slept happily and knew nothing, this shows that some kind of light functions in deep sleep too. No external Light helps a man in sleep. But still he solves mathematical riddles and scientific facts. Then, can we say that there is no awareness in these subtle mental activities??
The combo of philosophy and science.....
