THE MISTERY OF BLACK HOLE AND
WHILTE HOLE
THE SCIENCE OF TRUTH
WHAT IS RELIGION? IT IS NOT THE HOWLING WHAT IT HAS BECOME TO THE MASSESS. IF THE MASSES ARE RIGHT, THEN ANIMALS HAVE A GREAT RELIGIOUS SENSE-WOLVES HOWLING, DOGS BARKING AT THE MOON, AT THE DISTANT, AT THE FARAWAY.
PAUL TILLICH HAS DEFINED RELIGION AS THE ULTIMATE CONCERN. IT IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. IT IS THE IMMEDIATE CONCERN, NOT THE ULTIMATE CONCERN. INFACT, THE IMMEDIATE IS THE ONLY ULTIMATE THERE IS.
RELIGION IS NOT A DESIRE FOR A DISTANT, A CURIOSITY FOR THE FARAWAY. IT IS AN INQUIRY INTO ONE'S OWN BEING.
THAT'S WHY BUDDHISM IS NOT CONCERNED WITH GOD AT ALL. IT IS CONCERNED WITH YOU, WITH YOUR REALITY. IT'S WHOLE PROCESS IS LIKE PEELING AN ONION. BUDDHISM CONTINUES TO PEEL YOUR REALITY. LAYER UPON LAYER, IT GOES ON DESTROYING THE ILLUSION, THE DREAMS. AND JUST AS HAPPENS WHEN YOU PEEL AN ONION, ULTIMATELY ONLY NOTHING IS LEFT IN YOUR HANDS.
THAT NOTHING IS THE SOURCE OF ALL. OUT OF THAT NOTHING ALL ARISES AND SLOWLY DISAPPEARS BACK INTO THAT NOTHING.
NOW PHYSICISTS ARE COMING VERY CLOSE TO IT. THEY CALL THAT NOTHING "THE BLACK HOLE" MATTER DISAPPEARS INTO BLACK HOLES, IS UTTERLY ANNIHILATED, BECOMES NOTHING. NOW, AFTER BLACK HOLES, THERE IS TALK IN SCIENTIFIC CIRCLES ABOUT WHILTE HOLES TOO. OUT OF WHITE HOLES, MATTER ARISES. IT SEEMS BLACK HOLES AND WHITE HOLES ARE JUST TWO ASPECTS OF THE SAME REALITY LIKE THE DOOR. ON ONE SIDE OF THE DOOR IW WRITTEN "ENTRANCE", THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME DOOR IS CALLED THE "EXIT".
WHEN THINGS APPEAR OUT OF THE WOMB OF NOTHINGNESS, THE DOOR IS CALLED THE WHILTE HOLE WHITE BECAUSE GIVES BIRTH, WHITE BECAUSE LIFE COMES OUT OF IT. BY CALLING IT WHILE WE ARE APPRECIATING IT, WE ARE VALUING IT. ONE DAY EVERYTHING DISAPPEARS BACK INTO THE SAME DOOR THEN WE CALL IT BLACK. WE HAVE ALWAYS CALLED DEATH BLACK. MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID OF THE BLACK, OF THE DARK, OF DEATH.
BUT IT IS THE SAME REALITY! FROM ONE SIDE IT I" BLACK HOLE" FROM THE OTHER SIDE IT IS "WHITE HOLE". BUDDHA CALLS IT SHUNYATA.
THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT MODERN PHYSICS WILL COME EVERY DAY MORE AND MORE CLOSE TO BUDDHA. IT HAS TO COME. IT HAS TO RECOGNIZE BUDDHA'S INSIGHT INTO REALITY, BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE EVER DARED TO CALL NOTHINGNESS THE SOURCE OF ALL. HOW DID BUDDHA STUMBLE UPON THE FALL? HE WAS NOT A PHYSICIST. HE WAS NOT WORKING INTO THE DEEPEST REALITY OF MATTER, BUT HE WAS WORKING INTO THE DEEPEST REALITY OF MATTERS, BUT HE WAS WORKING INTO THE DEEPEST REALITY OF HIS OWN PSYCHOLOGY.
YOU HAVE TO BE REMINDED OF THAT ALSO. BUDDHISM IS NOT A METAPHYSICS. METAPHYSICS IS ALWAYS A CONCERN WITH THE ULTIMATE. "META" MEANS BEYOND BEYOND PHYSICS, BEYOND THAT WHICH CAN BE SEEN, BEYOND THE EARTH, BEYOND THE VISIBLE, THE TANGIBL, THE SENSUOUS. METAPHYSICS MEANS ALWAYS THE FARAWAY, THE DISTANT REALITY, THE GOD.
BUDDHISM IS BASICALLY PURELY A PSYCHOLOGY, IT IS NOT CONCERNED WITH METAPHYCIS. IT CONCERN WITH THE REALITY OF THE MIND, HOW THE MIND FUNCTIONS, WHAT CONSTITUTES THE MIND. AND IT GOES ON PENETRATING DEEPER INTO THE LAYERS OF THE MIND, AND FINALLY COMES TO THE REALIZATION THAT DEEPEST, AT THE BOTTOM CORE, THERE IS NOTHINGNESS.
BUDDHA WAS NOT BELIEVED BY PEOPLE, BECAUSE WHO CAN BELIEVE IN NOTHINGNESS? WHO WANTS NOTHINGNESS IN THE FIRST PLACE? MODERN PHYSICS IS ALSO PUZZLING PEOPLE, DRIVING THEM CRAZY. BUT REALITY IS AS IT IS, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT IS NOT THE QUESTION. YOUR LIKING OR NOT LIKING IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE IT. YOUR LIKING AND DISLIKING CAN ONLY KEEP YOU IN ILLUSIONS. REALITY HAS TO BE SEEN AS IT IS. AND TO BE CAPABLE OF SEEING THAT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED TO BECOME RELIGIOUS., THE COURAGE TO SEE REALITY IN ITS NAKED TRUTH, IN ITS NAKEDNESS, UNDISGUISED, UNCOVERED, UNDRESSED.
AND ONCE YOU HAVE SEEN REALITY AS IT IS, ONCE YOU HAVE HAD A GLIMPSE OF THE REAL MAN, A GREAT TRANSFORMATION HAPPENS OF ITS OWN ACCORD THAT VERY INSIGHT TRANSFORMS YOU, TRANSMUTES YOU, YOU ARE NEVER AGAIN THE SAME, BECAUSE ALL ILLUSIONS DISSAPEAR. SEEING THE REALITY, HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE TO DELUDE YOURSELF? HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE TO DREAM? HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE IN YOUR PREJUDICES? HOW CAN YOU GO ON KEEPING FALSE OPINIONS? HOW CAN YOU CARRY ON WITH DOCTRINES AND PHILOSOPHIES AND SCRIPTURES? SEEING THE REALITY, ALL SIMPLE DISSPEARS, ONLY REALITY IS THERE. AND TO BE WITH THAT REALITY IS LIBERATION.
JESUS IS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS, TRUTH LIBERATES. TRUTH IS LIBERATION. THER IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT JESUS LEARNT THE SECRETS OF THE TRUTH THROUGH BUDDHIST MASTERS. THERE IS EVERY POSSIBILITY THAT BEFORE HE STARTED HIS WORK IN ISRAEL, HE WAS IN INDIA, IN NALANDA, WITH BUDDHIST MASTERS. NALANDA WAS ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT BUDDHAFIELDS, A GREAT UNIVERSITY OF MONKS. NEVER BEFORE AND NEVER AFTER HAS SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVERY EXISTED AGAIN.
