THE EIGHTH SAMAS – SOOKSHMAJEEVNIRUPAN
(ABOUT THE LIVE MICRO FORMS)
There are many live forms in the universe which are smaller than
even the dust particles. Their life too is short lived. There are so many types of these. They can’t be
seen by the eyes. Though very small they have their own limited knowledge. Their pleasures are
also limited.
We can see the small arthropods which are innumerable in number.
The Atman is inside all of these live forms. The birds, the reptiles and the fishes range from small
to very big in size. These creatures have distinctive colors, forms and modes of movements. The
body of some of them is very fragile whereas that of others is very hard. All these creatures and
their characters are created by the God or the Atman.
There are so many differences between the appearance and the habits
of the living yet there is only one Atman residing inside them. The differences are highly amusing.
You have to see them and then gain as much knowledge as possible but most of us are self centered
and so are most of the times oblivious to the surroundings.
There is water outside the earth and therefore life also which is not
known to us. Inside the earth also there are different types of material and water wherein many
forms, living and nonliving stay. Suffice it to say that there is life everywhere except within the
fire. The work of God is awe inspiring and the Maya is no less in comparison. Combination of the
both leads to the innumerable differences in forms, objects and characters. Maya has done all this
which is absolutely bewildering. You have to try and understand it. Except for the Atman all else in
the universe lacks knowledge and hence is untrue. There are some organisms which stay inside our
body and most of us are unaware of that. That being the case how is it possible that most of us
would know about the life beyond the earth? The gist of this is that the work of God is awesome
and is beyond the perception of the human intellect. Still if we know very little about it we proudly
boast of it even with the knowledge that we are short lived creatures and rather than boasting about
anything we should always be trying to think about how the God must have gone about it.
This body takes birth from a place which is the most unclean part of
the body. It is maintained in an environment which is full of debris of God knows what. Yet we are
proud of our body. The body is despicable, short lived and is constantly under some stress or strain.
The body and material richness both are liable to vanish within no time. Even during the presence
of both most individuals are unhappy. Rather than being happy about such a body and the
surroundings you should wisely come out of the mind, body intellect conglomerate and search for
the God, otherwise you are doomed.
