Who are “You”?

By Yogi Ashwini

You say science has developed so much but you do not know the boundary of the ‘place’ where you are staying and what is there after that. You do not know the farthest star, till where does it go and what lies after that. And in comparison to that, think about yourself - what are you and where do you stand in this massive space? There is no clarity at all on these basics. You have created boundaries to your own self, you have limited yourself. Even those who have been around for 5-10 years, they too are unable go beyond their self-made limits. Because that is the basic problem when you will limit yourself in the physical you will always remain in that physical.

Let me discuss another concept. From where has this physically manifested creation emerged?

Let me rephrase the question, the creation that we see- so many plants, animals, etc on this planet, from where has it all come?

One of the names of sun is Hiranyagarbha (the golden womb), that means sun is the womb of some energy. It has no existence of its own, it is only a womb. Let us understand this in another way, a gynaecologist knows that inside the womb of a mother a lot of heat is present, but that heat is of one mother. If you sum up heat of wombs of all mothers (across species) that equals to heat of the Sun! We all know that the heat of the Sun is reducing constantly. This in turn implies that heat of every womb in the creation is reducing everyday. Earlier a mother could give birth to many children but these days they have one or two children only, and that to through c-section...

The sun is called hiranyagarbh because it is the womb of Adishakti - the whole creation emerges and survives because of this heat or shakti. The shakti (energy) takes the form of heat and this creation is simply a manifestation of that heat. A human being is living till the time that heat is present it the body, when the heat diminshes soul departs from this body and goes beyond the physical dimension. Adi shakti is first level of physically manifested creation. There are two things in creation- vyakt (manifest) and avyakt (the unmanifest).The avyakt state is prior to Adi shakti and vyakt is what comes out of that womb. Every aspect of this creation has emerged from that womb only and that is why Adishakti is called the mother. Yet every aspect emerging from that womb while playing its part thinks that ‘I’ alone exist, no one else exists. As the child is born and starts growing up, that heat starts reducing, As the kid grows the body loses heat continuously and in old age heat content becomes minimum and finally it is lost completely on leaving the body.
