dattaswami Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The rules of Science are broken only by the will of God A devotee asked Swami about Aakasha Deepam, which is said to guide the devotee after death to the abode of God if it is lit in this month of Kartika. Swami replied: “If this oil lamp lit by you has such power, let it prove a small fraction of its power now itself. You lit the lamp here and go outside in the darkness. Let this lamp show you the path outside”. If this lamp cannot have even such small power while it is burning, how can we believe that it has power after a long time when it does not exist? Everything in the creation happens according to Science only. The rules of Science are broken only by the will of God. Unless you please God and get His grace, such miracles will not happen just by doing certain actions. The word Aakasha Deepam has lot of spiritual message, if you analyze patiently in depth. The word Aakasha means Space (Aakaashogaganam Shunyam). The word Deepa means Knowledge or analysis (Jnana Deepena Bhasvata). This means, the analysis of space will lead you to understand the nature of God and then you are near God. God is the generator of Space and Space is His first creation (Atmana akaashah…). God is just above the space, since God is the cause and space is the first effect. Mud is the cause and pot is the effect. Unless you destroy the pot, its cause, the lump of mud cannot be visualized. Unless space is dissolved God cannot be seen. You may try for millions of years to imagine the situation after dissolution of space. It is absolutely impossible to go beyond space. You can imagine anything with some minute spatial dimensions only, which may be very very small. Your intelligence is limited by spatial dimensions. It cannot cross the three co-ordinates, which are length, width and height called as spatial dimensions. This means, God is absolutely unimaginable to the intelligence and analysis (Yo Buddheh Paratah…).
