The Neanderthal Man and his limitations

Dear Anu,

I am looking at it little differently. Neanderthal man's needs were very limited but his intellect was also under development as he was evolving from animal kingdom which did not have the discriminating faculty. Now, the modern man is fully developed with sufficient intellect but unfortunately his needs expanded in a geometric progression and entered the territory of desires. I have more to write on this subject and I will write through another fb, if that is okay with you.

Dear Anu,

A very thought provoking blog.

When our needs are limited we do not make much effort to go forward.That means we do not strain our mind. Only when we use our brain then it becomes more efficient...new ideas crop up and improvements are there. Otherwise we would live in a cocoon. We do not use many faculties which brain is capable of. Living peaceful does not mean that we should be dumb...we should be intelligent and still have equanimity.
Man's inherent nature is that he has curiousity and always wants to do better. A student studies...is he happy with just pass marks? No. he wants to improve. In the same way....in any field one wants to improve and should improve alstherwise we would have been living in the same way as a primitive man. Stress. tension and suffering is a part of life. Nobody can escape these. Where to draw the line.....one has to learn.

 

Dear Anu,

I recently read a book called The Einstein's Enigma. Even though it was a novel, all of the scientific data given in the book was taken out of real research. Before Einstein died, he was working on an important discovery to find out why the world was created. He found in his research when the big bang happened, all variables fell in place ideal for life to be created in the planet earth. He was stunned by this discovery as otherwise, life would have never come into existence. He also realized looking at man's life that everything that was created will have to come to an end therefore realized that world also will come to an end. He was trying to find out why the universe was created with an intent to create life in it only to be destroyed later.

He found out that there should be some meaning in why The Bible said, "Let there be light." He gave it to other scientists to continue the research and they came to the following conclusion. When the Creator said "let there be light" the big bang happened and everything fell in place to create lives in it. It evolved to have discriminating power. The scientists found out that everything was happening according to the mathematical equations. If it is true that we could see how the universe was created by analyzing the data, it is also possible to find out how the world will be in future. Therefore, they came to the conclusion that everything is predetermined. Time and space are limitations localized and if we cross the barrier, human being could see the past, present and future.

They found out that the true intent is to create life that would develop enough intellect to procreate the entire Universe on its own. Then the life becomes immortal. They found out by evaluating the Hindu and Buddhist scriptures that the end goal of the human beings is to achieve immortality.

I also read another book called "The Nano Technology of the Mind over Matter". This book describes that when God wanted to create the world, he wanted to replicate Himself. He created a vessel that would receive His love and grace. But the replicated model also had the qualities of God and wanted to give. In order to compromise, the God created a third entity to receive His Grace only to give. This is explained in The Hindu scriptures as Tamosic, Satwic and Rajasic qualities. The scientists when they reached Nano stage to find out the details in an atom, they found out there are three elements namely Proton, Electron and Neutron. They are nothing but givng (Satwic), receiving (Tamosic) and Neutron (receiving to give).

Therefore it was evident that every cell in our body has same qualities that the human being (city of Trillion cells) has. When the cell consist of three elements evolve, it would become immortal and hence the human also will become immortal. This is what is explained in scriptures that a person who overcome three qualities to reach Turya State would become Self-Realized and become immortal. In other words, when conflicting qualities are resolved, the human will achieve peace and will have highest level of knowledge.

These two and many other scientific books I read in the last two years, made me come to the conclusion that the days are numbered for science and spirituality to converge. Please forgive me if the above is too much information to digest.

The necessities, Lifestyles and technological changes everything has its own impact the way humans lived across generations. It undergoes change.

But as you said, the limitation is the same. we are not above the nature, yet it is in our hands to make it better or worser.

A good post which made us thinking Anuradha.
