730. Transformation of Matters, Creation and our Attitudes………………

In scientific world we are aware of transformations which are classified as two reversible and irreversible. While explaining this theories science gives example of water condensing to ice and then evaporating as steam in reversible transformation while milk converting to curds is irreversible transformation. In both the cases there were transformations that can be easily distinguished in terms of their state like solid, liquid and gaseous. But there is one transformation that is not felt to the external sensory organs. This transformation happens without transformation exactly like gold becoming ornament, mud becoming pot and iron becoming hammer, etc. 

Even though the ornament has gold in it the ornament has a different name like bangles, necklace, bracelet etc. This transformation has induced the name and form to the existing gold which was and is original state. After many years the said ornaments are re-melted and it goes back to the original state of gold. In fact, from the point of view of the gold, there is no transformation but from the points of view of the ornaments, there is a new creation, existence as well as separateness from original objects called gold. We have to appreciate the knowledge of our ancients for providing the description of the creation. This is the glory of Vedanta. The transformation of things in a transformation-less way. 

Here gold is the one which is eternal and does not get altered even if it is a ring or bracelet or necklace exactly in the same way in the very existence of ours we have our name and form. Some of us are lawyers, doctors, engineers, actors depending upon our abilities and capabilities. At the same time some are mild, while some are harsh, some are tolerant, some are arrogant and so on. Yet as the ring or bracelet or necklace is basically gold, we all living and non living are “THAT” imperishable source and are same at the core. 

That source from which we have come is immeasurable “APRAMEYA” and unchangeable “ADHOKSHAJA”. In the Vishnushasranama we find these words Aprameya in 248th and Adhoksaja is the 415th. 

It is mentioned in Mahabharata Uttara Parva “Adho na kshiyate jaatu yasmaat tasmaat adhoksajah”- meaning: He is Adhokshaja because He undergoes no degeneration from His original nature. Yes, that which does not undergo any change or that which is free from degradation or decay is only “BRAHMAN” 

In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna says, “I pervade this entire universe in unmanifested form; all being arise from me but I have nothing to do with any of them – Look at my glory O Arjuna’. 

Just as it is the glory of gold that exists in varieties of ornaments in forms and names, so is the glory of Lord Krishna that is in different names and forms of humanity; but the misconceptions of each form has nothing to do with Him. We people suffer because of our own misconceptions which are the fallout of the attitudes we posses. The only solution to the problem is to recognize our true nature and mend our attitudes.
