The result of a Sunday afternoon chat with Thatha and Dad... It started off with Dad talking about nanobots.. And as the discussion went on, Thatha was quoting something from the Vedhas... And a very interesting thought popped up in my mind... I'm just giving the actual thought train in my head.. I hope it makes sense...
When we deal with Great things, it needs greater potentiability and understanding, Superiority is graded in accordance with the subtle nature of things. A subtle thing is superior to a gross things and a subtler thing is superior to a subtle thing. These are stages and degrees of consciousness and more and more of the knowlegde flows in. That is why the sages and seers who are able to see the subtleties of objects through their intellect are known to possess Sukshma Drishti which can behold even the most subtle thing.
The Vedhas deal with two knowledgs- Lower and the Higher (Apara Vidhya and Para Vidhya). The lower knowledge deals with lesser science or secular science. This can only enable people to understand the knowledge pertaining to the universe and the objects what we see, the theory of relativity, the theory of electrons and all human theories for mean to have a sense-life.
Whereas, The Para-Vidhya or Higher Science is to understand the subtler thinsg of life, which cannot be known by the mere assemblage of words. That which cannot be seen nor seize, which has no origin, no properties, neither ears nor eyes, hands or feet, which is eternal, diversely manifested, all pervading, extremely subtle and imperishable, and can only be understood by practicing and knowing this science.
And as we see the world today, it keeps moving towards compactness and subtleness.. Gone are the days when what was making it big was actually making something big. Commercial favorites today are the smallest versions.
The hottest topics in Science & Technology include Nanotechnology, Atomic Energy and Science, Quantum theory.. More perceivable by the more knowledgeable people and a mystery to most..
Look at the potential of the smallest of the smallest 'an atom'.. The amount of energy it can generate.. Its everywhere but no-one has come up with the exact idea of what it is.. And then we have sub-atomic particles.. Smaller than an atom! What would we get if we keep searching for the smallest? Emptiness?? Or Whole?? What would you say 'zero' is?. Nothing or completion??
Why did Prahalad say " He (God) is Omnipresent, in the tiniest speck and also in the most massive structures" and what about the statement "Aham Brahmasmi!' (The Creator lies in me)... According to the most accepted theory of evolution, everything started from an atom and everything is made up of the basic unit- an atom.
And look at the Dasavatharam of Lord Vishnu in order.. It gives the various stages of evolution.. Is there some kind of link between all these? Or are these mere coincidences?
My own conclusion is the "GOD IS AN ATOM" or whatever it is that is the smallest and most basic unit of any substance. In this way I think any form of worship, beliefs, love and theories can be substantiated. This is something even an atheist cannot deny. And when it is so, even self-love is good.. Everything you do, say or perceive is due to God and is directed to the Creator! It made so much sense to me... What do you say?

:(
art of communicating starts with writing, but does'nt end there...
content is only the starting point, many more things like presentation etc are equally important :)
look at the thousands of fonts on this single post - looks you when your run out of fonts you invent new ones too ;)
and girl, separate logical parts of posts into paragraphs !
@Arvind..
Point taken... Just that I never bothered much abt the formatting part until this summer :)
If and when I write another long post.. I shall make sure I follow some sane formatting rules :)
