Different Rhythm – In Gita Verse 13.34 O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.
Krishna’s words from the Bhagavad Gita offer a glimpse into the transcendental dimension – the ‘fourth’, a realm where pure consciousness prevails. He illustrates a profound truth: the seamless confluence of our tripartite nature – physical, mental, and spiritual – gives rise to an emergent, harmonious fourth dimension.
Exploring Consciousness and Energy
The seismic revelation of Albert Einstein’s E=mc² peeled away the veneer of matter, displaying it as a vibrant mirage of energy. Within this expansive dance, even the sturdiest rock is teeming with life, its solidity an illusion to the dynamism it veils.
Friedrich Nietzsche’s bold assertion “God is dead” reverberates with an unspoken contradiction; it is materiality that has dissipated into the primordial ballet of energy. Modernity’s physics courts the mystic’s intuition, finding unity where once was supposed duality.
Sir Arthur Eddington’s epiphany that “Matter is no more. It is more like a thought than like a thing.” casts existence in a transformative light – through the prism of science, life itself is energy.
For ages, mystics have known what science is now uncovering – that both the observed and the observer, the macrocosm and the microcosm, are enigmatic forms of energy.
The Triad of Energies
Our bodies, the most tangible expression of energy, are but the tip of the iceberg. The subtlety of thought pulsates just beneath, revealed in moments of introspection or deep meditative states. Yet, consciousness dwells in unreachable depths – a sacred essence that eloquently eludes the grasp of objectivity.
Synchronicity among these energies bestows upon us health and wholesomeness. Discord, however, manifests as disharmony, severing us from the intertwined sanctity of our being.
Krishna’s teachings beckon us to orchestrate our body, mind, and spirit into a synchronous dance, weaving not a tapestry of chaos but one of cosmic harmony – a space where the divine serenades within and around us, manifesting as an integrated trinity.
The Synergy of Consciousness and Energy
Consciousness is not just intertwined with energy – it is the pinnacle of energy, the sublime vibration from which mind and body draw their essence. Yet, this ascendant consciousness awakens fully only when the triad of energies sing in unison, like a divine symphony gracing the universe.
The human condition frequently defaults to dissonance, with the mind neglecting the body’s innate wisdom. Yet, Krishna’s mystical flute and the cosmic dance of the Maha Raas unveil the profound meaning in music and movement – a cosmic alignment of all energies.
Consciousness: The Divine Orchestra
In this divine score, consciousness is the maestro, guiding the ensemble of energies to transcendence. When the energies unite, the ‘fourth’ – an omnipresent, organic unity – resonates clearly. Turiya, the ‘fourth’ as denoted in Eastern philosophy, is the consummate state of consciousness beyond the sum of its parts.
The ‘fourth’ is not simply additional – it is the essence of transcendence, an elusive presence beyond mere arithmetic of elements. The divine, thus, unfolds from an inner concert of harmonies, not an outer entity to be sought.
Just as the beauty of a painting defies deconstruction, the divine resists dissection. It is the unquantifiable value that amplifies sum into significance, an intangible ‘plus’ birthed from the harmonious interplay of energy.
Melting into Unity
Embrace the challenge: meld your physical, mental, and spiritual energies into a seamless unity. Seek practices that foster this union, for it is here, in the divine dance of energies, that Krishna resides as both the guide and the paradigm. His life, immortalised in mythic dance and eternal melodies, beckons us to harmonise our energies, illuminating our being with the luminous ‘fourth’.
Let us carry forward Krishna’s legacy – not through passive reverence, but through the active embodiment of the universal symphony. Herein lies the path to enlightenment, a luminous state where the ‘fourth’ radiates with divine splendour across the landscape of our united existence.
