Uncertainty at Individual Level and Order at Universal Level
 

॥ कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वाकर्मणि॥ 2.47 ||

One has the right to perform their expected duty,
But not to the right to the fruits of action;
One should not consider oneself as the doer of the action,
Nor should one attach oneself to inaction.

- Bhagawad Geeta 2:47

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhagavad_Gita

If only results are goals of जीवन then person takes uncertain and changing and amoral ways to achieve results
If only moral position and values are goal of जीवन then it is uncertain results at individual level and order at universal level
Krishna - Do your individual personal service with mind fixed on me and leave results to me as results are not in your hand - KarmaYoga

If individual is fixed on moral position and also look for fixed results then neither is achievable is my experience

Scientific Verification: Uncertainty at Quantum Level and Order at Universal Level

- Lessons from सर्वोच्च गुरु - जीवन अनुभव
 

PATHS -

Right Extreme - Most Difficult - Be aware, Be wise, Be responsible, The Lord does not take responsibility of your actions - Holy books guidance but responsibility on self - Hinduism

Center - easier - 4 noble truths and 8 fold noble path - no theology nor rituals - Buddhism

Left Extreme - Difficult - Strict discipline according to the WRITTEN word of GOD.

Laws of existence are inescapable - since there is no action without consequences.

Just that we don't know when who is going to bear consequences?

जीवन अनुभव always is सर्वोच्च गुरु 
Be attentive to its lessons and 
Obedient to its commands
   
   -  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Ignorance affecting your living is surely the greatest source of misery, maybe even greater than all known evil itself.

But identifying with gained knowledge and adopting a know-it-all attitude will severely limit one's growth potential and kill curiosity about spiritual or scientific exploration.

Body, Mind, Soul are instruments of Human Being, so would you not like to read and try to understand completely the manual on the art of living at an early stage in life?

- Sadhguru

The Bhagawad Geeta emphasizes Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas - the main principles of AYURVEDA, and how their imbalance leads to ADHARMA according to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

The Bhagawad Geeta is a manual on the art of living of Body, Mind, Soul, and is applicable to each and every human being.

 

WHEN THE STRONG ARE STRONGEST 

THEN THEY MIGHT TRY TO 

OVERPOWER FRAIL,

WHEN THE WISE ARE WISEST 

THEN THEY MIGHT WANT TO FOOL 

IGNORANT INTO SUBMISSION,

ARISTOTLE - LISTEN BUT 

DON'T ACCEPT BLINDLY AND IMMEDIATELY,

BE AWARE AND USE CRITICAL THINKING

ARISTOTLE

- GREEK PHILOSOPHER 

Few elders may use your 

ignorance for 

self-serving, limited motives.

Experienced, fearless elders will 

transform your ignorance into the 

elevation of your true self, 

since every self has different 

PAST karma (soil), intentions (seed), 

and destiny (tree and fruit).

- Critical Thinking 

(personal experience)

is that first ignorance should be removed, then the self can 

choose own path.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO LANGUAGE -

FACTS - OPINIONS - ADVICE

FACTS - should be verified for Truth

OPINIONS - can hurt without proper context

ADVICE - given only when Arjun requested - Krishna

"Knowledge (Wave of Data and Information) 

is structured in (Ocean of) Consciousness" -

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Attention shapes experience.
When it is directed toward fear, stress, or limitation,

Those patterns grow stronger.
When it is directed toward gratitude,

growth, and deeper awareness,

Those qualities expand naturally.
This is why attention is one of the

most valuable powers we possess.
Where we place it shapes

the direction of our lives

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's original speech

- Dr Tony Nader

We spend most of our time at the surface of the mind,

moving with each thought, each reaction, each change.
In that state, everything can feel unstable.
But that is not the full picture.
In Transcendental Meditation® (TM),

we go beyond the waves,

(Saints say fly beyond,

others say REST in PEACE,

Hindus say disperse ashes in holy water),

beyond the surface activity of the mind.

And in that experience,

the mind doesn’t need to be controlled.

It begins to settle on its own.
Have you notice when

your mind naturally slows down?

Dr. Tony Nader, for more insights

on consciousness and awareness.

ONE Collective Consciousness

Whenever a collective project group

 focus on the task,

Then their minds and intellect are

 different but supportive (waves),

But their attention or

 consciousness is ONE (ocean) focused 

on the task.

God is NowHere - All Religions

God is NoWhere - Atheist

Existence-Consciousness-Joy is NowHere 

Born a CHRISTIAN then be TRUE CHRISTIAN,

Born a MUSLIM then be TRUE MUSLIM,

Born a HINDU then be TRUE HINDU,

Born a JAIN then be TRUE JAIN,

For a Hindu, PATHS can be different by HIGHEST GOD is ONE,

ONE GOD favors the person who is TRUE to the person's PATH.

For an ATHEIST who needs are met,

does not need to take a stand on issues,

But this does not apply to majority of people.

Question whether GOD exists 

is same as whether 

Intelligent Design of 

Universe exists,

and Science proves that 

there is Intelligent Design in Universe and as long

as One obeys Laws of 

Intelligent Design of Universe,

One will not accumulate Karma,

neither bad nor good, 

but surely only for deliverance.

Definition of GOD and AVATAR in Hinduism -

When GOD is manifested,

He/she is not formless so he/she is called AVATAR,

and every avatar has to return back to heavenly abode,

So how can one know about form/formlessness there?

 - Difference between GOD and AVATAR

जीवन-सत्, Liberty-चित्त, Content-आनन्द are first rights of every living entity

Buddha's Way for Nirvana and Happiness

------------------------------------------------------------
The Four Noble Truths of Buddha
------------------------------------------------------------

1. Truth of Dukkha (Unsatisfactoriness) or Suffering: is the duality nature of manifestation, which is the experience of either good or bad, pain or pleasure, pressure or power, conflict or harmony, discord or admiration, meaningless or purposeful, rudeness or caring.

Every object, manifested right from matter to the lighthouse, has

A shadow, the only way to reduce a shadow is to 

shine light on the object.

OBJECT and SHADOW are called DUALITY  in philosophy, so

everything in manifestation has a dual nature.

To reach beyond OBJECT and SHADOW is ADVAITA 

VEDANTA, Experience of Emptiness, 

or Joy and Bliss beyond reason.

THIS is TRUE ONENESS and found in deep meditation.

(The wanting to associate is surely entanglement, Not wanting to associate is also entanglement, so Buddha describes Nirvana as the experience of Emptiness, Bhagawad Geeta describes freedom as the experience of the field of pure-potentiality, Christians describe the peace of God that surpasses all understanding as heavenly and will guard hearts and minds in Christ Jesus  - Association can be any of things, persons, power, pleasures, places, wealth, theories, philosophy, or religious practices.)

2. Truth of Cause of the Dukkha (Unsatisfactoriness) : is not due to actual experience of duality nature but the constant clinging on to particular type of experience which is called Craving and Ignorance. Desire itself is not harmful but the attachment to Desire is due to Ignorance and is called Carving.( When desire turns to craving then there is no internal freedom or satisfaction, no matter what the external conditions. It is seen that few people constantly crave for future pleasures but it is also seen few people constantly crave to live past pain which brings them suffering when instead Eckhart Tolle mentions content  आनन्द is found in present moment ) 

3. Truth of the End of Dukkha (Unsatisfactoriness) : is Nirvana or Enlightenment. It is also described as freedom from conflict and selfishness, the eradication of craving, hatred and delusion which is rising above the Duality Nature of Manifestation and Detachment from outcome of desires.

4. Truth of Way of End of Dukkha (Unsatisfactoriness) : is Buddha's Eight-fold Path which is Middle Way between extremes which leads to Nirvana.

om maṇi padme hūṃ - ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ

Gautama the Buddha is not a teaching, 

a philosophy, 

an ideology, or a new religion. 

He is a method, a way – 

not something that 

we believe or worship, 

but something that we become. 

Only then is he truly honored, 

because that was his only intent, 

that people should live it. - Sadhguru
