Darkness, deep darkness. There is darkness all around. There is not a single ray of light anywhere. Inside and outside, there is darkness everywhere. I cannot see anything with these eyes. There is darkness all around. I am trying to look inside myself but there is nothing there either. There is darkness all around. I am unable to understand whether there is life in the darkness or darkness is life. I don't even know whether there is life or not. Life has ended or this is the beginning of a new life, I don't know. This darkness has made me so restless that I am yearning for a ray of light. This darkness has destroyed everything. Now there is no desire, no wish, no desire to live. All dreams seem to have been buried in the lap of the past. Is there any life without dreams? All thoughts seem to have stopped. I lost my power to think and understand.My senses have stopped working. I am not able to hear any sound from where I am. I want to speak but no words are coming out. I want to see something with my eyes but the darkness is so dense that nothing is visible. It seems as if everything has become void or I am standing on a void where creation and destruction begins, where life and death begin, where time begins and where the movement of time ends. The creation of nature begins from here and ends here. This is the center of the entire universe. Everything begins here and everything ends here. I am walking or standing at a place, I do not know whether I am inside the darkness or darkness is inside me, I do not know whether this is the beginning of my life or I am attaining death, I do not know but I know this much that somewhere I will definitely find a ray of light and I will definitely get it because if life is found then nature gives light to get out of this darkness.If we have got life, then nature will definitely give us light to take us out of this darkness. Even if death occurs, nature absorbs life in the light of its life force. After death, every living being gets absorbed in the life force of nature. The body gets destroyed and the life force gets absorbed in progress. At both birth and death, life passes through the light of nature. Nature gives life and progress ends life. Progress is omnipotent. Progress creates and when the time comes, nature destroys. The only omnipotent power that runs the entire universe, creates the universe and continuously expands the universe is Adi Prakriti. Adi Prakriti is the power that has created the universe, which has created the sun and the earth, which has laid the foundation of life on earth. This is the power that gives life, this is the power that runs life, this is the power that decides which creature will get life when. This power arranges for the food and existence of life for all creatures even before their birth. Even before the birth of any creature, nature fulfills its basic needs and then gives it life. What I mean to say is that even before life begins, progress arranges food and water for every living being and then gives it life. There are many types of geographical conditions on earth. According to these geographical conditions, nature provides some specialty to every living being, whether it is an animal, bird or a plant, every living being has some specialty.There is not a single creature on this earth that does not have some special quality. Nature has definitely given some quality to all the creatures because in the eyes of nature all are the same, whether it is a human or an animal, whether it is a tree or a plant or an insect, all have some special quality. All creatures are children of nature. Nature is the mother of all creatures and mother never discriminates. Nature has created the universe. Every human being born on earth is a child of progress. No human being can survive without nature because our body is made of nature. The life that is inside our body has been given to us by nature. The life force that is inside this life is a gift of nature. The ultimate energy inside this life force is a gift of nature.
What is life? This question comes to the mind of every sensible person. Every person who has the ability to think, definitely thinks about these questions. For centuries, man has been thinking to find the answer to this question. To find out the secrets of life, man tried to understand the life force through his thinking and after understanding the importance of life, he tried to bring that importance into his behavior. For centuries, man has been thinking about life and due to this thinking, man got self-knowledge. It is through spirituality that man gained knowledge of the secrets of life. Spirituality is the knowledge that every man wants to acquire because the foundation of all religions and sects till date rests on the spirituality attained by man. Every religion starts with spirituality and ends with spirituality. All the religions that were formed on earth were created from spirituality. Spirituality is the mother of all religions and sects.
To understand life, we have to understand religion because in today's environment, religion has become synonymous with life. There is so much similarity between these two that life and religion both seem the same as if there is no difference between the two. Life and religion are both different, there is a lot of difference between the two. To understand this difference, we have to know religion. We have to understand what religion is? To understand and know religion or sect, we have to know spirituality, what is spirituality? It is very difficult to understand and know spirituality because the answer to all the unsolved mysteries of the earth is spirituality. To know, understand and practice spirituality, we have to understand contemplation, what is contemplation? How is contemplation done and how spirituality is attained through contemplation. Contemplation is also a complex process because if contemplation is in the right direction then it makes life great and if it is in the wrong direction then it ruins life. The rules of all the religions of the world were made to make man think in the right direction so that man does not get confused and thinks in the right direction. Reflection is a process that arises from serious reflection.What is life? Who gives life? Who runs life? Does life end?
