In Infinite Expansion There's No Straight Line
What is BrahmnorUniversal Consciousness? The meaning of Brahmn is-that which goes on expanding. It is not that it has expanded or spread; it is not a static condition, but it is that which is constantly expanding. The activity is going on. What happens is constantly expanding. Even from a scientific point of view, Brahmn has two forms-one is the unman fest, which is called sambhute by sages of the Upanishads. The manifest Brahmn means the zero-Brahmn, the seed-Brahmn. Let us imagine the time when it had not started to expand, when the seed had not broken. Then imagine the absolute first moment of expansion-and after that the sprouting, the continual expanding, the growing of the tree. From such a tiny seed, such an enormous tree will grow that thousands can take rest under its shade. And from that tree will fall innumerable seeds; and from each seed will grow again a vast tree; and again each tree will propagate countless seeds, and from each seed the tree and seeds and trees and seeds and trees, endlessly. Thus a single, minute seed, through its growing process, gives birth to endless seeds. The manifest Brahmn is the seed-Brahmn, the zero-Brahmn, the centre point. We can only imagine this, because the centre point can only be imagined. We know only the manifest Brahmn-that which is outside. We know the tree-Brahmn which has unfolded. The manifest is not yet complete; it is becoming and is in the process of becoming, it is constantly expanding. Our universe is becoming larger and larger every moment. To describe its increase by the day is too much; it is inconceivable. Both Einstein and Planck, who did a great deal of research work around this theory, were baffled by it; they finally had to leave it a mystery. But the Upanishads talk about this phenomenon from quite a different and strange perspective, and it should be understood properly. If not today, then in the future, scientists will have to work from that perspective. But up to now it has not been the way of reasoning in the west, and there is a reason for the speaking this: the whole of western science has developed from Greek philosophy. It stands on the foundations of Greek philosophy, and one of Greek philosophy's basic beliefs is that time travels ina straight line. This belief has led western science into great difficulty. Indian philosophy thinks tree about this in a vastly different way; it says all motions are circular. No motion can be in a straight line. The wise men of the east believe that all movements are circular. The earth revolves, seasons revolve, the suand stars move round and rouncmovement is circular, no move straight. Life moves in a circle. Expanding universe, too, moves circle. Suppose a child remains then a difficulty will arise. Whites being young end? Where will if it goes on expanding and does return to the point of death? So Indian thinking says that manifest Brahmn; in its expand process, will pass through child youth and old age and again restful into unman fest Brahmn. Itagain be zero and void. It will rethe original source from whereitsjourney. Its circle will be a Hu(The Heartbeat of the AbsolCourtesy Osho International Foundation, www.osho.com)
