Believing Big Bang Theory
(believe in a big bang - big bang theory)

Query: Believing Big Bang Theory is believing God Almighty and sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism!

Kaivalya Jnani:
Believe or not to believe is not in the hands of human beings... we simply abide by the dictates of God Almighty. If we think that the life of a bacterium in our body carries any meaning... we need believe in the concept of big bang. If a bacterium in our body thinks its life is the end of all... then the whole cosmic concept becomes an illusion! How?

We all know the life of a bacterium in our body carries no meaning... any relative meaning in our life! Similar as... the life of a human being carries no meaning for God Almighty... the larger being that manifests the whole Cosmos. Everything in the cosmic system is relative. For a mystic like Adi Shankaracharya the whole cosmic system is an illusion! Nothing except the entity of God Almighty is the real truth.

This concept has been explained by Adi Shankaracharya through the doctrine of Maya (veil of ignorance). According to Adi Shankaracharya... the world is an illusion as the Cosmos does not seem to have boundary. If we consider it has... then what beyond! And if the Cosmos itself does not seem to exist... all that we see with the limited power of our senses is an illusion... a cosmic illusion... a veil of ignorance... a veil of Maya!

This is primarily a spiritual concept... the absolute reality! Most human beings engrossed in wanton desires and materialistic reaches do not understand this concept. They believe in things physical... everything perceived through senses and the mind. And viewed from the limited power of the senses... the concept of big bang definitely exists. And what is big bang?

At the time of dissolution of the Cosmos... the previous Cosmos... the whole Cosmos reduces to the size of half a thumb as all souls' atmans in the Cosmos reach the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation. Having regained their original pure pristine form... this cluster of purified souls' atmans by volume takes half the size of a thumb.

This pure cluster of energy... unable to contain itself for long in its purified state explodes with a big bang giving rise to a new cosmos... a new cosmic journey! And what is the Cosmos itself? The whole Cosmos is nothing but a gaseous cluster of atoms and molecules. Only when perceived from the senses point of view... we see the hard formations... the forms? When perceived from the cosmic point of view... it is all pure gaseous matter.

From the spiritual point of view... the whole cosmic system is the work of Maya (veil of illusion)... but from the physical senses point of view the present Cosmos shall exist until the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs. Not beyond! Thereafter it shall be new cosmos... a new cosmic journey!
