Evolving - spontaneously

 

You cannot solve this problem through your intelligence or through your rationality because the human mind is limited and the limited mind cannot go to something that is unlimited. Like when I came to this hall I had to leave my car behind. But it’s very difficult to understand that with rationality, you cannot reach some place and you reach that place - spontaneously. But we can derive that conclusion by seeing that we evolved spontaneously. We evolved automatically. We did not think about it. Say, from animal stage to this stage we have come, from amoeba stage to this stage we have come without doing anything about it. Spontaneously it has happened. People perhaps do not understand the word ‘spontaneous’. Spontaneous means it’s a happening through some living force and the living force acts on its own. It drives you up to a point. Like a flower becomes a fruit. Now the flower cannot do anything about becoming a fruit; in the same way we cannot do anything about our evolution. We should accept most humbly, because we have done nothing so far to become human beings. We have taken for granted our human life. But how we got it we do not know. We did not pay any money for it. That way anything very vital to life you get it spontaneously. Like our breathing, nobody taught us breathing. We did not have to join Cambridge University to learn our breathing, did we? It comes so spontaneously as soon as we are born we start breathing. All that is vital for the progress of life comes to us spontaneously.

So if evolution is the most vital climax of our existence then it has to come to us spontaneously. We cannot do anything about it; so first of all let us relax. It’s going to work out spontaneously so why put our self up into a tension? Now we have to see like a scientist with a very open mind that we are not yet aware of ourselves. We do not know what we are. We know we are human beings but are we really human beings alone? Or are we something more than that? And if we are, are we aware of that?
 

Seeking - as a Scientist

 

Once we accept that still we are not that reality by which we can know every dimension of ourselves. If there is light we should be able to see everything in this room isn’t it? If we have light within ourselves we should be able to see ourselves within and without. The confusion is there because this light is not yet enlightened. But now think that you are made a human being but why? Why? What was the need? Why so much trouble was taken by nature to make a human being? No scientist goes into the ‘whys’ you see. They’ll say; ‘it is so.’ And …it’s a scientific way of looking at things. Now they say; ‘it is […]’. Alright it is […] the right […] this is […]. Finished. Whatever they see and know they write it down; ‘this is so’. But they cannot say ‘why’. Why there is gravity in the mother earth, they cannot say that. But let us ask this question: ‘why?’ Why are we human beings? This is the beginning of your seeking.

Now when I put forward some sort of a hypothesis for you, some sort of idea or a theory before you, you need not get disturbed by it. Keep yourself open and see for yourself if it works or not. But for this we really need people who are ardent seekers. Like we come into any university I would say we keep ourselves open. We just don’t go and challenge all knowledge to begin with, but we try to find out for ourselves whether whatever is said is true or not. In the same way we should keep ourselves very open about this method of the nature, which is spontaneous and the power that is placed within us which is called as Kundalini (this is the name given by human beings; God has not given names to anything) that resides within us in the triangular bone.
