Only Infinite is True else is Illusion!!!

Got struck with following thought which I wanted to share:
 
Only Infinite is True else is Illusion!!!
 
Let us pause and ponder on infinity for a while.
Let us consider following which are generally agreed to be inifinite:

Time - Time is eternal. We don't know neither its beginning nor its end.
Space - Same as time, we don't know its boundaries.

If we extend this to general human values such as:
Love - which is infinite irrespective of space and time is TRUE else it is illusion.
Knowledge - which survives the test of infinite time and hence it is TRUE else it is illusion.
Relationship - which survives the test of infinite time and hence it is TRUE else it is illusion. I could think of, the relationship with the supreme can only bear the test of infinite time and nothing else!
Peace - absence of disturbance is peace. Disturbance is a creation which is finite. Hence, Peace is infinite and TRUE.
 Happiness - sorrow is a creation out of situation which is finite. Hence absence of sorrow is happiness. Thus it is infinite and TRUE.

For me it seems this can be extended to any human value and many other things.

बुद्ध वाणी



!!!  जीवन मरण हर मनुष्य के जीवन कृम है.... 
 यदि हम  चैतन  हो पूरे  विधान को समझे ....
तो हर दिवस ऐसा जीवन जी सकते है....
 जहाँ  शांति, सदबुद्धि, आनंद 
संतोष का सर्वदा वास होगा  .... !!!

बुद्ध वाणी - 8




 !!! सत्य के मार्ग पे चलते हुए, 
दो भूल हो सकती है ...
पहला पूरा रास्ता तय ना करना...
और दूसरा... उसे आरम्भ ही ना करना !!!

My Read: Chanakya, The master of statecraft

   It seems we Bharatiya (Indians) have revolt, reign, and renounce in our blood stream. May be we inherit from sages who believe in Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha and Sannyasa.

    In history of India, the kingdom of Magadh  and its time period has played crucial role. It has produced kings of valour and sages of wisdom. Kings like Bimbisaar, Chandrgupta Maurya, Ashoka to name a few. Buddha, Chanakya lived in that age.

     Both Chanakya and Chandrgupta (teacher and disciple) fought with wit and valour against all of their enemies, especially Dhana Nanda of Magadh. Thus they dethroned him and Chandrgupta initiated the Maurya dynasty. They expanded their territory in west as far as till today's Afghanistan and in east till Assam.

   When everything was in place in Magadh,  a severe famine struck the kingdom for couple of consecutive years. People of kingdom were in despair in search of food and water. Mighty Chandragupta's all backup plans for food for his citizens were going in vain. Thus forcing him towards spiritual journey to pray for his kingdom. He renounced his kingdom went towards Sharavanabelgola as part of his spiritual quest. He chose to do fast unto death as prescribed in Jainism. 
    
    Here, Chanakya too after completion of his great work Arthashastra, chose to do fast unto death. Finally, the thought which passes is Revolt - Reign - Renounce. Is it true till today? 

   Happy reading.

बुद्ध वाणी - 7



!!! जिस क्षण तुम्हारे अंतर में ये भाव उत्पन्न हुआ की 
तुम पाप कर रहे थे ,
उसी क्षण तुम्हारे स्वयं अपनी मुक्ति के मार्ग पर
पहला पग धर दिया है !!!

बुद्ध वाणी - 6


!!! सौन्दर्य  अनित्य है ... 
इसलिए भाव बोध से मुक्त पुरुष ,
न सुन्दरता से सम्मोहित होता है ,
और न ही कुरूपतासे विरक्त !!!
