Light and Life

Light and Life

By Gouri Tripathi

Light, as studied in Physics, is a form of energy. As of now, light is understood to having a dual nature: wave and particle-quantum. The understanding of these natures in modern times has been made simpler by two great physicists- James Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein, after the pioneering contributions by the famous British physicist, Isaac Newton.

Life and light are two most precious manifestations of God’s creation. In what follows, the focus would be on the human life. Life has also a sort of duality: flexibility and rigidity. The former may be thought of as an analogy to the wave nature and the later to the particle nature. Waves are flexible while particles are rigid. Both the natures are important in different circumstances. Flexibility in life implies openness, while rigidity conforms to firmness. However, too much flexibility yields to unnecessary compromises as too much rigidity gives way to obstinacy.

Light shows its colours when passed through a prism. Colours are inherent in white light, for example, sunlight. The prism only disperses them. Similarly life has also colours and circumstances can disperse them. Light dispels darkness; so does life. States preceding and following life are wrapped in darkness. Therefore, life is light. Although all kinds of matter absorb light, only some emit it. Similarly, all kinds of people may be imparted with knowledge. But only few can illuminate others by their knowledge. Here knowledge is light.

Light is a unity of two forces: electric and magnetic. Likewise, life is also a unity of two forces: spiritual and material. The former results from renunciation and the later is inseparable from possession. A yogi renounces happily but a bhogi( materialistic person) feels miserable, if denied materialistic possessions. A yogi cultivates the spirit and a bhogi is always attached to matter. Although both the aspects oppose each other, both are powerful, since both are indestructible, and this is the source of their unity.

Light can be amplified by stimulation and the amplified light, which is known as laser, is highly coherent and intense. Similarly a life can also be exalted by moral stimulation, both external and internal. However, the internal stimulation is more important than the external one, because the former can take a person to a spiritual domain. The exalted beings are more coherent in their thought and action and their impact in providing leadership is more intense than the less exalted beings.

Light is a good means of communication. The communication revolution is made possible by optical (light) fibres. The principle behind this process is total internal reflection of light in a glass (core) with a higher refractive index than the glass, which envelops the core. Similarly an enlightened person reaches this stage only after mustering high internal energy, which results after intense multiple internal reflections of vital life forces.

Science is the most modern rational means at arriving the truth. It is based on experimentation and logical analysis. Physics is an exact science. Its laws transcend the space and time dimensions. The ultimate aim of physics is to find a theory of every thing.Whether or not would it be possible, the attempt itself is important, because it expands the territories of knowledge. Spirituality, on the other hand, is based primarily on intuition. Maybe it results from intense introspection and inward drive. Therefore a combination of both is good for both science and spirituality.

It is good for spirituality because it could have a scientific basis. Similarly science can benefit because it is, in the process, exposed to non-science people who find the effort comprehensible, particularly in India, where spiritual thinking still has an edge over the scientific one.

Learning

i know i have been very bad Blogger Lately ....the reason that took me away from Blogging that i wanted to experience new things and learn new things ....

we all get bored from daily routines... we always look for Happiness, Fun, Amusement , interest, ...etc. by doing somethings we love or we need to be done in order to complete our self satisfaction

i was busy lately try to learn about many new subjects that i felt im so much interested in while reading and learning about it , i need to change my daily routines and find new ways to break that routine and this is the way to go everytime when i get less interested with what im doing i start new things to be more interested with.


Its not i got bored from Blogging ....i love Blogging and Blogger friends and tehir blogs alot but its something makes me feel i want to do many other things needs my full attention.
i think most of the bloggers know what i mean about having a break .

so i was thinking to give my Blogging Life two days weekly one day for Blogging and the second day for Reading and reviewing good Blogs and join new communities

Another reason made me away is my son Ahmad is 5 1/2 now he needs lots of things to learn i wont depend on school only i also have to teach him alot about different topics,subjects and knowledge and give my kids TIME TO LEARN & PLAY WITH MOM

it is very important that parents provide this time to their kids not depending only on schools and their kids' friends

i started three weeks ago to sit with him infront of the computer make him choose one topic about any thing he likes animals, countries, even movie characters like ninja turtles ,spiderman....etc.

and we both start searching together i open many sites...i read for him he loves images alot i speak about images ...and i stumbled on lovely free encyclopedia for kids very nice one i also learn

we had surfed together about frogs-lions-dinasours untill now every week we choose one topic or whatever he likes to know about.


NEVER, EVER STOP LEARNING
