Spiritual Concepts
Let us start with the concept of God.
To understand the concept of God let us understand the concept: sat, chit, ananda which means
"existence, consciousness and bliss". These fully characterize God who is eternal existence, pure
consciousness and one who experiences only bliss. By eternal existence he becomes timeless and by
pure consciousness he becomes formless and hence since being timeless and formless means no change
in any way that would lead to ever blissful experience. This is saying that God is spiritual in essence
because being spiritual is transcending space and time.
Having introduced what I think characterizes God, I would like to focus on how god actually is in charge
of the physical world. We know physical world works according to certain universal laws. However this is
true only as long as they are not patently under the influence of spiritual energy. Under the influence of
spiritual energy they change. I can personally attest that by the use of spiritual energy, physical energy
diminishes or even vanishes ( actually it becomes unchanging in energy, so becomes spiritual itself).
I will try to put forth fresh ideas and not focus on oft discussed themes. I will start with what I think are
the laws that can supercede physical laws. I will call them spiritual laws. I will try my best to substantiate
them but to do that a good understanding of their mechanics of work is required. I will try to develop
them in the parallel discussion on physics concepts.
Before going on to discuss the laws, let me share my thoughts on what should be the methods of
spirituality. Science describes the physical world and has its methods for it. Since it is concerned with the
physical world, the methods which it uses for establishment of truth is concerned only with the physical
reality. The evidence of truth is that it should be physically verifiable. So keeping in view the scope of
science, the method it uses had been adequate.
But as I view and will strive to corroborate, reality is not just physical. So we cannot hope to prove
everything by using the methods of science. At least from the perspective of being open minded , we
need to grant that there may be truths that are not accessible to sense organs or cannot be recorded by
physical instruments.
So let us see the methods that I will follow. The following are the ways I am going to show the
truth of spiritual knowledge:
1. By observations. This can be seen in the cure of diseases where the disorders are set right by
spiritual energy, If any physics lab anywhere in the world is willing to verify the existence of
spiritual energy, I can show that the physical energy produced in the labs will vanish in the
presence of spiritual energy. Here, the changing physical energy is being converted to an
unchanging energy.
2. By logic: This can be done by showing in a consistent way the higher level significance of the
physical laws.
3. By scriptures: If spiritual knowledge tested above is seen to conform to the scriptures in a
fundamental way, we can test only for consistency in the scriptures and take the scriptures as an
authority of all higher knowledge
Before proceeding to discuss the spiritual laws, let me talk about the scope of spiritual laws. We
can think of spiritual laws as those that govern all that physically exist, consciousness and all its
experiences whereas Physical laws govern all that physically exist.
In humans for example, the physical laws govern the body and the spiritual laws govern the
body, the consciousness and the positive experiences one is able to have in life.
Spiritual laws are responsible for the evolution of the soul and spiritual laws are able to exert
predominant and consistent control over physical laws when evolution happens to the stage of
mind and mind evolves to a certain level. Every constituent of our world is subject to spiritual
laws all the time.
So in my view, what we see as the laws of science are subject to the influence of spiritual laws
all the time and comes under their total control towards the final stages of the universe,
