Banaras, A Mystic Love Story

Banaras is not a destination its a journey of our lives. If you go to watch this movie for a ready-made solution or only to "kill" two hours, you may get disappointed. Banaras is aimed to create a thirst for something one is generally uncomfortable to explore.

A Ghostly purposeless existence or a well designed (Quantum) plan?


Kittu

A Ghostly purposeless existence or a well designed (Quantum) plan?

“Aisa Lagta hai jaise in paramanuon ne milkar ek saajish kee ho, ek aise sansaar ke rachanaa kee, jisme ham paida ho saken aur rah saken.

Aaaj science ke saamne sabse badaa prashna yeh hai ki, is there a physical reality?,..kya sab kuchh illusion hai?….kya kuchh hai hi naheen?”….…Dr. Karandikar in Banaras.

It looks as if they (quantum particles) conspired with each other to create a world where we can get born, live and are able unveil the secret behind our own existence…………….or is it all a random accident?

The Sun... Water ... Air !!.,
The fertile soil.. The plants and fruits.. The animals..The galaxies.. The stars.. The moon.. The gravitation.. The electricity.. The rotation of the earth… The rotation of the moon. The atomic force.
A miraculously caring earth.. A tolerant atmosphere.

Take a look at inside of an atom: The huge empty space inside, the miraculously balanced combination of forces and the apparent intelligence of each constituent!

Does it all look like an accident to you?

Take a look around yourself: Beautiful flowers, lovely garden, pretty girls( if you are a male) or handsome boys (if you are a female).

For a moment just imagine if air was black or dark blue?

What a misery it would be? We would be able to see nothing. No flowers. No garden. No pretty girls or handsome boys.

In fact no light would reach the earth. so no food for plants…. hence no food for animals…therefore no food for humans. And then Finito…..Finish….. End of every life.

What an accident? The two most abundant things on the planet are air and water and they both are transparent!

Think about it. Why are these created to be transparent? At the face it looks like a very intricate plan. As if someone had known that one day we would be coming on the planet. (Lets not get too excited and begin to feel important) The nature is cleverer than that. It doesn’t have to plan for so long. It simply creates a set of eyes which sees the air and water (irrespective of the reality) to look transparent.
Imagine the world now. It’s not that air is transparent. It looks transparent because our eyes have been designed to see through them, so that, we can live and survive.
Similarly, our sensory organs are designed to experience the world precisely the way we do. It has nothing to do with the reality of how the world really is. It is just the way we are designed to experience it.


That is why mystics, when they give up their sensory approach to looking at things, they are able to experience a world different than our perception and they call our world to be an “illusion”.

This is also the miraculous design of nature which has empowered us with the capacity to “see”( for the lack of a better word) the truth of the matter much beyond our normal self and understand the true nature of self and experience the Truth.

I have often wondered how does Kittu (she thinks I am her pet) perceive the world?

This is mind boggling. Some profound thoughts. My hats off.

I appreciate the movie more now.

shweta at the sarnath ruins has two important things:
one is a modern girl(in modern clothes),who studies science but asks'why did a king give up his kingdom'?
she's so like me ...so i cant be 'mad', to wonder about the same thing.
second, she has everything in life,so PEACE should be resultant...but she says 'i get peace when i come here',one would think she should have no reason not to be at peace at all times???
why was there no peca?

Dear Mr. Sing

When thinking about the structure of the universe and our laws of physics I think that it is important to remember that our sense of logic is arbitrary.

Hypothetically, let's say that an all powerful god created logic, and all events that followed conform to this logic i.e. 1+1=2 and anything times 0 = 0. What were the rules before logic was created? Before the laws of physics and symetry were decided on? Could an all powerful god have made it different? By definition of an "all powerful god" the answer would have to be yes. What if he could have made air non transparent and allow conscious beings to be able to navigate through the atomosphere just as we do today? What if instead of 6 senses god gave us 10 or 12 or invented a universe where the idea of numbers or Euclidian geometry were null? An all powerful god could have.

Why only 3 spatial dimensions and one of time? Our meager human brains come up with the answer: that is the way it had to be for us to exist. For an all powerful god not bound by the rules of logic or physics, it could have been any way he wanted. We could have had 12 dimensions of space instead of 3. He could have created a world where we could know the differnce between good and evil without ever having to experience evil. He could have made us never have to experience pain to experience pleasure. I think you get the point here.

The only thing that makes sense is that an all powerful got made a random choice using his free will and poof...here we are.

Free will is a random jump out of our programing right? Creative thought has to come from something outside ourselves. When making decisions we take a random jump out of our own genetic programming and experience and open ourselves up to accept an idea that seems to come to us out of nowhere and instantly. Maybe the universe, laws of physics, and symetry are all the result of a random act of god's free will. An electron randomly makes a decision to wind up going through the left slit or the right in the double slit experience. Maybe god did the same thing.

The universe may not have been an accident, but to say that the way we perceive the universe to be is the only way that it could be for us to survive is just not true.

What do you think?
