The Sun, the cause , but no involvement
In the previous page the
unsolved mystery is about the Unconditioned Consciousness
being the one behind the cause of all causes and events, however it
is not involved in any of the events.
In India
Sun is always taken as the symbol of Unconditioned Consciousness. Sun is
thousands and thousands of miles away from the Earth and yet its presence is
felt every where on Earth. We had discusses in Air therapy page and fire
therapy pages that Sun's energy is trapped by pants in the form of food and
we derive the sun's energy by eating food. So it is sun's energy that
drives all human activities. If some one becomes obese eating lots of food
we cannot blame the Sun for it, but the truth is that the food is nothing
but Sun's energy and also the energy for eating action also comes from
Sun's energy but Sun cannot be blamed for hunger or obesity problems. Like
the Unconditioned Consciousness Sun is the cause for all the events on Earth
but it is not involved in any of these actions. To put in other words, its
energy drives actions on Earth but it does not enjoy or sorrowful by the
results of its action.
The same is
true for all geo-physical activities that occur on Earth. Sun's energy
causes water to rise from ocean and precipitate on mountain cliff's in the
form of glaciers. Let us take for example of the
Himalayan mountain glaciers, the snowcapped mountain ranges of Northern
India. The same Sun that was the cause of the Snow to fall on Mountain
cliff's is also the cause for the snow to melt it to water.
Now you observe that in
these glaciers there are the greatest rivers of India concealed, latent.
Ganges, the biggest river of India emanate and flow out from these
glaciers. Here in these glaciers is the source or the seed body of the
river. It is this water, the seed of the mighty river. At this stage we do
not see a river, we see a state of "Nothingness" from which a mighty river
later flows.
Causal Body
Like the
seed body of the river in the mountain, so is our seed body in a
state of "Nothingness". But from this seed body is all the
information which goes out into the subtle body and the gross
physical body which we will discuss later.
In this state of the
seed body we see all-dazzling scenes, diamond-mountains, all white, an ocean
of white glaciers so dazzling, so sparkling, so beautiful, splendid,
inspiring. There we find no vegetation, no animal life, no man, no woman.
There is upon these glaciers to be seen one source of life, the Sun, the
glorious Orb, that shines upon these fairy scenes. Oh, what a splendid
sight! Sometimes the light of the Sun sifted through the clouds falls upon
the land and makes the whole landscape blaze up in the color of fire.
