The Emperor’s Horse

The horse only on which can ride his master’s ambition to be the king of the kings is the emperor’s horse.

In the olden days, a king became an emperor after winning many wars and subjugating many kingdoms.

In those days, the emperors won wars with great horses and grand warriors. Often these grand warriors used to be famous emperors themselves whose best friends in the battle- fields used to be their own horses that stood by them and fought with them against all odds.

The horse therefore used to be as famous as the emperor himself was, as the horse named Bucephalus, arguably one of the greatest horses of the antiquities, was the horse of the world conquering Emperor Alexander the Great.

The wars have changed their character these days; the military campaigns do not need horses any more.

The political or business leaders wielding governmental or financial authority are modern day emperors. Their compelling ideas are comparable to the great horses, which help them win political or business battles thereby putting them in positions of power.

In this context, it is relevant to reflect upon the admirable life and towering achievements of Subhash Chandra Bose, one of the greatest political leaders of the last century. He rode on the compelling idea that ‘the death of the brave is preferable to the life of the slave’ as he led the military challenge with extreme courage and supreme sacrifice against the mightiest empire of his times, the colonial British empire.

Eventually, Chandra Bose’s campaigns along with the various forms of struggles of other freedom fighters contributed greatly in the amazing process of actualization of attaining independence of his country, India, politically from the colonial British rule.

The phrase ‘Emperor’s Horse’ has therefore assumed a different meaning in today’s context; it signifies a powerful idea that can make one man reach a position of authority by influencing the minds of others leading to creation of actions causing history to become purposive.

While romancing with times one therefore cannot but be nostalgic about Emperors and their horses as history unfolds across all ages.

IN ONE UNIVERSE ZERO IS CONSTANT, BUT IN ANOTHER UNIVERSE ALTHOUGH IT IS CONSTANT IT MAY NOT BE EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF ZERO OF THE  OTHER UNIVERSE.

THEREFORE TO SHRI BHAGWAN OR GOD ZERO IS NOT CONSTANT AND CREATION OF DIFFERENCE IN ZERO IS THE SECRET OF HIS CREATION OF DIVERSITY OF INFINITE NUMBER OF UNIVERSES.

EACH UNIVERSE HAS A DIFFERENT ZERO AND A DIFFERENT BRAHMA OR THE CREATOR CREATED BY SHRI BHAGWAN OR GOD.

EACH  DIFFERENT BRAHMA OR CREATOR BEGINS WITH A DIFFERENT ZERO.

THEREAFTER BEGINS MANY JOURNEYS FROM ZEROS TO INFINITY TO ZEROS.

WE LIVE IN A SMALL GALAXY'S SOLAR SYSTEM OF AN AVERAGE SIZED STAR CALLED THE SUN IN OUR UNIVERSE. IN OUR GALAXY THERE ARE INNUMERABLE STARS.

IN OUR UNIVERSE THERE ARE INNUMERABLE GALAXIES.

THERE ARE INNUMERABLE UNIVERSES FORMING AND DISSOLVING AND FORMING AGAIN.

SHRI BHAGWAN OR GOD IS WATCHING OVER THEM WITH INFINITESMALLY MINUTE PROPORTION OF HIS ENERGIES THROUGH TIME WHICH IS WITHOUT BEGINNING AND WITHOUT END.

THE HUMANS AND THEIR LIFESPANS ARE SO INFINITESMALLY SMALL AND THEIR AFFAIRS SO INSIGNFICANT IN SUCH SCHEMES OF THE TIME & SPACE THEREFORE ONE CANNOT BUT WONDER WHY THEY HAVE SUCH HUGE EGOS AND FOOLISH AMBITIONS THAT THEY FORGET OR DERIDE SHRI BHAGWAN OR GOD.

ONE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON ZERO EGO AND ZERO AMBITION BEFORE FOCUSSING ON SHRI BHAGWAN OR GOD.

THEREAFTER ONLY CAN ONE'S JOURNEY TO REACH THE INFINITY AND NIRVANA OR LIBERATION TRULY BEGIN.

ZERO IS THE BEGINNING AND ZERO IS THE END.

GOD IS WITHOUT BEGINNING AND WITHOUT END CREATING DIFFERENT ZEROS FOR DIFFERENT UNIVERSES.

ZERO IS THEREFORE NOT CONSTANT ACROSS ALL UNIVERSES.

SCIENCE ALSO TELLS US THE SAME THING THAT BEFORE THE BIG BANG THERE IS THE BIG CRUNCH DURING WHICH THE UNIVERSE IS A MASS OF INFINITE DENSITY WHICH IS POSSIBLE ONLY WHEN THE VOLUME OF THE UNIVERSE IS ZERO.

A CONDITION THERE IS; WHICH HAS TO BE REACHED;
WHEREIN EARTH, WATER, FIRE AND AIR ARE NOT;
WHEREIN NEITHER CONSCIOUSNESS, NOR SPACE, NOR A VOID IS.
NEITHER THIS WORLD NOR A WORLD BEYOND ARE THERE,
NEITHER ARE THERE THE SUN AND MOON.
IT IS NOT A COMING; IT IS NEITHER A GOING,
NOR A STANDING STILL, NOR A FALLING, NOR A RISING.
THAT WHICH IS NOT BORN, NOR BECOME, NOR MADE.
IF THAT WERE NOT, THERE WOULD BE NO REFUGE
FROM THAT WHICH IS BORN, IS BECOME, AND IS MADE.

TRUE ZERO IS REACHED WHEN THE MAYA CANNOT CAUSE KARMA WHICH FURTHER CANNOT CAUSE LEELA.

IT THEN BECOMES A STATE OF IMMORTAL STILLNESS OR 'AMRITA STHIRTA' WHICH IS THE FIRST STEP TO BECOME A 'SIDDHA' OR THE FULFILLED ONE.

THE FULFILLED ONE IS AT FIRST STILL IN IMMORTALITY WITHOUT BEGINNING AND END, NEITHER BORN NOR DEAD.

THEREAFTER THE FULFILLED ONE BECOMES LODGED IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIVINE IN A STATE KNOWN AS 'STHITIPRAGNYA'.

THE FULFILLED ONE IS THEREFORE  WHOSE MIND'S IMMORTAL STILLNESS IS LODGED IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIVINE AND WHO ALONE IS READY FOR UNION WITH THE ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.

BUT THERE STILL IS A JOURNEY TO FULFILL BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.

AT ZERO ALL DIFFERENCES CEASE THERE IS ONLY HUMAN AND GOD THE ONE WHO IS INDIVISIBLE AND UNCHANGING.

THE GRACE OF THE DIVINITY THEN BEGINS TO DESCEND UPON THE CONSCIOUSNESS PREPARING IT TO REACH THE HIGHER WORLD OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE LIBERATED FROM THE MAGIC SPELL OF MAYA CAUSING KARMA RESULTING IN LEELA.

Emancipation of all sorrows come from eliminating all thoughts and reaching a state of zero.

Zero is the omega and alfa of infinity.

Focussing on zero is the beginning of becoming one with the universe of the infinity.

Lodged in the knowledge of  that dance of light and life is the kernel of emancipation from all sorrows.

During the song begins the dance of life and light.
