The Real Science Of Sanatan Dharma
Sanatan dharma is the oldest culture to have existed. It is not just a culture, but a way of life, which not only establishes humane qualities but also takes human intelligence and potential to its peak. However, lately, the science of Sanatan dharma has been lost, and we are just left with a superficial part of it. India was the spiritual science storehouse of the world and was called “Vishwaguru.” Unfortunately, now, India is struggling with material concepts, leaving behind its spiritual treasure, which is the basis of material. In this article, we will understand 5 concepts of Sanatan dharma, scientifically, and how can they take the human race to its peak of evolution. (Read: Bhagavad Gita Mind Control Technique)
Karma
Karma basically means mental or physical action and the residual it leaves on our system in the form of information. For example, our mind and bodies are just accumulated information coming from genes DNA, and senses. This information is like a blueprint, a software that controls how we think and act, and all aspects of our lives, making us dance like a puppet. Hence, we can say that what we did something in past lives, that left a print on our system, which gave us our current physical form. In our life, we create many desires, which again leave an imprint on our system, which again cages us in a body, so we can experience that desire. This is so because, we prefer the known terrain, over the unknown. Sanatan dharma encourages people to live in a way that they have no reason to return back to material plane. To understand this, we need to understand the second principle of Sanatan dharma. (Read: Men’s Mental Health)
Yoga, Not Mere Stretching
Yoga lately have gained a reputation of being merely a stretching exercise. No, yoga means union, wherein we drop our physicality, and unite with the non-physical, or, god. As we understood, our physical and mental bodies are information-bound, hence without information, we cannot know who we are. Further, we create our identity with this information, which creates a boundary around us. Like, people who fit in your memory come inside your boundary, like family, rest are strangers. Also, in the sense of physics, we can only have a physical form when there is a boundary encapsulating it. Without boundary, we cannot have a body, or individual existence, as matter can only maintain its physicality when it has a boundary around it. Therefore, yoga is about obliterating these boundaries, wherein we lose our individual sense of self, and merge with the boundless. When we merge with the boundless, then we truly experience that, “we all are one.” (Read: Third Eye Opens, When We Close Our Two Eyes The Right Way)
Dharma
Dharma means honestly fulfilling one’s duty and work. However, for most people, their work becomes a headache for them. The reason for this is, people are stuck within the boundaries that they create around themselves. Most of us, only work to support and sustain ourselves, not realizing that we are setting up our own trap. Have you noticed that first people work hard to support themselves, then use that same money to abandon themselves, either through booze, or vacations? Yes, something within us, an intelligence, wants to work, not just to support ourselves, but also forget ourselves. When we work from this space of “no person,” we reach the peak performance trance like state, called the zone, or flow. This is where work truly becomes worship for us, because we work being devoid of ourselves, we become a devout. (Read: The Magical Flow State)
Ahimsa
Ahimsa means non-violence, and we all get to hear about it often. However, ahimsa does not mean physical assault, but also mental. Thinking bad about someone is also violence, which becomes our karma by leaving an imprint on our system, and comes back to us. The truth is, ahimsa cannot be forced, but is a natural consequence of being in a state of yoga. When we see the same life principle operating in every individual, we naturally turn compassionate towards them.
Moksha
Moksha means getting freedom from the birth-death cycle and grip of time over us. Our physical bodies, and entire physical life is time-bound, and time being cyclical, is repetitive. Like, our planet have same day-night, summer-winter, rain-dry etc repetition. Further, even our bodies are time and planets bound, which is evident from menstrual cycle of women, connected to moon cycles of 28 days. Stuck in the physical, we remain at the mercy of time, hence say things like “his time was over,” when someone dies, or, “time heals,” when things get tough. Time is also the reason for repetitive and cyclical thought and emotion, which we call as habits. Whatever information we create within ourselves, keeps returning back to us in the form of experience.
Sanatan dharma, with its yogic principles, guides individual to the path of moksha, beyond time, into a timeless dimension. When we get rid of all information, and practice being in a state of nothingness, then we do not accumulate more information that brings us back to earth. Moksha means, going straight, and never returning back, instead of in cycles with time. (Read: God Is Darkness, Not Light)
Conclusion
That is why, Sanatan dharma, is not a culture or religion, but a way of life that guides human to their boundless existence. Being born in Bharat, we should ensure that we follow this path, and hit the highest experience of human life, existing beyond the physical.
