Continuing from the earlier 100th Milad Post, let us
understand how recent Scientific discoveries , are validating the Spiritual
truths, although the Spiritual Truths , which have guided humanity on the right
path for centuries, do not in itself need validation.
However, as stated in the earlier post after the initial
euphoria of scientific discoveries, which led to totally materialistic mindset,
Science has mellowed and with recent discoveries, especially in the field of
Cosmology and Quantum Physics, the Scientific community is slowly converging
towards acceptance of Spiritual Truth – primarily TAWHEED - ONENESS.
In this post I will try to show my readers how, if your
quest is for the Truth - than right guidance is received, from heaven above, no
matter whatever be the field in which one is working. Let me give you an
example from the field of Physical and Cosmological Science.
If one is to look up the pioneering work done by Steven
Weinberg – Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow – all Physicists, who were awarded
the Nobel Prizes for their pioneering work in 1960 and Carlo Rubia and Simon
Van der Meer for their pioneering work as heads of the CERN team in Geneva,
were also awarded Nobel Prize in the year 1983.
Simply put, the pioneering work of all these scientists
received recognition for understanding the symmetry behind Creation. By their
research they conclusively established the symmetry of diverse forces. Now
Science is getting closer to the common Source – and this to me is very exciting.
Science is on the threshold of the Grand Unification Theory (GUT)
With the help of powerful COBE Telescope at the macro level
and nano technology at the micro level, the scientific community is seeing a
symmetry in all things. Just like our genome (DNA) which is present in our very
first cell and consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes , possesses the blue print
of our entire human being, likewise, it has been proved that, un manifested
fields, pervade all space and time, and they are known as quantum fields.
The mystery of matching particles was solved in the last
half of the twentieth century, when physicists determined that underlying
quantum fields, give birth to elementary particles. The empty space is not
empty at all. It is seething cauldron of quantum activity.
Now Science with help of research and Theories, are
accepting that yes – something virtual is becoming, something ‘real’
It took Science another 100 years, to fully glimpse and
understand the existence of unification of all forces and fields, after James
Clerk Maxwell demonstrated the unification of electric and magnetic fields,
which we now know as electromagnetic field.
Now let me share with you what our Deen teaches and how easy
for us it is to understand, once you know the spiritual Truths.
The quest becomes very rewarding and uplifting, for if one
truly understands the Haqiqat Truths, the misconceptions are removed, and most
important the constraints and fears are removed, and one flies high in pure joy
with the help of knowledge acquired, in the understanding of Tawheed. Most
important is that your quest should be for the understanding of Tawheed -
ONENESS.
Before proceeding further, let me emphasize that our Deen,
so rightly says, once again quoting Syedi Sadikali Saheb –‘ tawheed ehne khaiye
–jeh chhe khuda na muka' As above, so below. The Shariat of RasulAllah (SA) is
beyond zaman (time) and makan (space)
From my earlier post, readers have understood that it is
Moulana A'shair - The Tenth Pure Intellect, who is responsible for the
actualization of the potentiality - a Moula who will be bringing back all the
fallen souls to their glory.
Now, with the help of Science I am getting to learn how
Moulana A’shir -‘ jehne duniya na havala chhe ‘ goes about his tadbeer. (Note.
Here it is advisable to talk of myself only – as it is my personal ohbat - my
personal quest, which I am just sharing with those, who may be interested to
undertake their own journey. The niyat is that the youngsters of community, may
be motivated to attend sabaks , and get a proper understanding of the Haqiqat
Truths)
The cause of the matter is Form, which is called by both
Farabi and Bu Ali Sina, as - Wahib al suwar (the Giver of Forms) A thing does
not change from potentiality to actuality all by itself, but through something
that produces results, (so there is One - Moula – Moulana A’shir.) Note: The
text in the bracket is my taffakur - reflection, which comes to me like
epiphany - sudden realization as I read.
(Book ref: Avicenna - Soheil M Afnan - ( Ph D - Cant:)
The Pleroma is designated as ' alam al ibda' alam al amr.
The Angel Adam -the Tenth Pure Intellect, realized that if
they were to remain in the pure Spiritual world (Alam e Ibda - roohani Alam)
they will never free themselves of the Tenebrosity - darkness, murk and gloom
(Aqa Moula (TUS) farmave chhe huboot waqe thayu ) This is why he made himself
the demiurge of the physical cosmos ( Moulana A'shir ni rehmat, shafaqat na
sabab ) and the instrument through which the Forms, who had once been of Light
(noorani) would find their salvation.
(Book Ref: History of Islamic Philosophy - Henry Corbin)
The created world is known as alam al khalq – Jism ul Mutlaq
– total body. Now it becomes easy to understand and misconceptions are removed.
That Science is trying to unravel the mystery of this ‘alam – how it came
about.
Mubde Haq Subhanu in whose Glory Quran states in Surah Ya
sin – Ayah 82 -“kun fayakun” - - “Be – and it is !” is far, far beyond anyone’s
understanding , and to accept this fact, itself is Tawheed.
It is only the Chosen of Allah, who are blessed to know HIS
Glory. I quote from one of the Supplication of Imam Ali Zayn al Abedin (SA) to
prove that Spirituality - our DEEN is more deeper and forever sustaining and
enriching.
From his Supplication ‘The Glorification of Allah'
Glory be to Thee!
Thou knowest the weight of the heavens.
Glory be to Thee!
Thou knowlest the weight of the earths.
(Note the plurality in the words heaven and earth)
Glory be to Thee!
Thou knowest the weight of the wind, how many times, it is
greater than the weight of the dust mote!
Glory be to Thee! All holy; All holy; All holy (kudoos’un ;
kudoos’un; kudoos’un)
(Ref: Al – Sahifat Al Kamilat Al Sajjadyya)
In my next post I will try to reflect on the causes which
led to the advent of dark age, when all knowledge, acquired through the
Centuries, was deemed lost. In truth everything in a sense is being
rediscovered.
So my young friends - Science has along long way to go
still, but the direction taken in the recent years, will one day lead to the
convergence of Spirituality and Science in the understanding of The Haqiqat.
I end this post by a revelation. Prof: Alan Guth comes with
his path breaking ‘Inflationary Theory’ at the right time in the Year 1979. Had
it been propounded earlier, there would have been many skeptics in the
Scientific Community. Why is it so? Have you given a thought? Why things fall
in the right place at the right time?
The answer my friends is that - The Quest is correct.
Science is trying to understand the concept of ‘Tawheed – The ONENESS, so all
help and assistance is coming from a much higher source, beyond our
understanding and comprehension.
So my young educated friends,
join the band wagon. Channelize your expertise and knowledge, be it in whatever
field, and if your quest is to understand Tawheed, I assure you, you will be
enjoying each moment of your journey.
