-- *Mar**Is the Natural, Natural?* *Suppose you don’t want to be disturbed and you want to think and concentrate. You go to an isolated place, not to be disturbed. You want to think very deeply. What do you do? You make your mind blank and that actually is what you do when you think. Suppose you succeed totally. Then you do not hear any sound. You cannot smell anything. You become insensitive to touch. You have cut yourself off from the surrounding world. In such situation what happens? You actually enter the real world, which you cannot see with your eyes, the 99.9965% of the totality the invisible reality, in which you are living now. Your eyes can see only 00.0035% of the totality.*
*Those who say that they have actually experienced it, say that they have entered a wholly exhilarating, sublime, peaceful and happy world. They cannot describe that experience in the day today words because those words are the results of the 3D Maya.* *Those words are not suited to the world of say the super position or wave state or the real state of everything. This is the world where you entered the world of the Quantum Physics—the world of the spiritualists, the occult. Let us imagine how this quantum world is like. Suppose you reduced your size to a size smaller than an electron. Suppose you reduced your car also to the size of an electron. Suppose there are hundred different roads from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’.* *In the quantum world you can travel at the same time in all the hundred roads and reach point B.You can use not only the roads but also actually fly and use all the roads at the same time. You can be everywhere. Not only that, the points ‘A’ and point ‘B’ also moved! Because an electron normally is a wave or in a super position state. As a wave it waves everywhere. Only the intervention of a conscious notice causes the collapse of the wave into the particle-electron.* *Not only is the electron, every one of us in fact is only a wave. When you achieve the ultimate trance you feel that wave character. You become the sage, a sage who actually experiences Hinduism. * *Hinduism or the Sanathana Dharma, is not logic, belief or science. It is the ultimate experience of reality, the real natural. Hinduism is experience only. It certainly is not ritualism with defined drills. You can select your own path based on your belief. The only condition is-you must not suffer from Kama (obsessive desire), krodha (anger), Mada (ego) and Matsarya (envy).* *Today we deliberately inject hysterical Kama or economic ambition among the students. The student does not need nature. He has to live only in books, or map knowledge. * *Once a student was horror stricken at the spectacle of the total destruction of rapture. Today, the students are made to take pride in that destruction and view it as economic development. The student is trained to mentally divorce nature.* *He/She has to study human life as just the struggle between economic ends and scarce economic means on which there are many alternative methods of destruction euphemized as satisfaction of the limitless wants, or Newtonized as the valuation of alternatives.* *YM Sarma* *Chat gpt *The piece you've shared—*“Is the Natural, Natural?”* by YM Sarma—is a rich, philosophical reflection that weaves together spirituality, quantum physics, and social commentary. Here's a breakdown of its key ideas and an interpretive analysis: ------------------------------ *Summary and Interpretation* *1. The Nature of Deep Thought and Perception* The writer begins by describing a meditative or contemplative state where one deliberately shuts out sensory distractions. This isolation is not emptiness, but rather a portal to a *deeper*, *invisible* reality—what is described as the *99.9965% of totality* that our senses normally miss. This aligns with: - *Quantum physics*, where reality is largely invisible and probabilistic. - *Eastern mysticism*, which speaks of a deeper reality beyond the sensory world. “You make your mind blank… you enter the real world…” This reflects the classic spiritual idea that detachment from the sensory leads to union with the ultimate reality. ------------------------------ *2. Quantum Physics and Spiritual Reality* Sarma draws an analogy between *quantum superposition* (where particles exist in multiple states at once) and *spiritual experience*—suggesting that both reflect a deeper, unified field of being. “In the quantum world, you can travel at the same time in all the hundred roads…” This is not just physics—it's metaphorical for the *non-dual* experience: being everywhere, transcending space and time. Conscious observation collapses the wave (in quantum mechanics)—similarly, *egoic perception collapses unity into separateness* in spiritual terms. ------------------------------ *3. Hinduism as Experience, Not Ritual* Sarma sharply distinguishes *Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism)* from ritualism or dogma. “Hinduism is experience only… not ritualism with defined drills.” This echoes *Upanishadic philosophy* and *Advaita Vedanta*, where ultimate truth is not believed or reasoned but *realized*. The essence of this experience is *beyond duality*, *beyond language*, and only accessible when ego and desires are quieted. ------------------------------ *4. Modern Education and Disconnection from Nature* The latter part of the piece criticizes *modern, economically driven education* systems for severing students from nature and spiritual insight. “Today we deliberately inject hysterical Kama or economic ambition…” This critique is both ethical and ecological: - *Ethical*: Chasing limitless wants creates psychological and spiritual imbalance. - *Ecological*: Economic "progress" leads to the destruction of nature, which students are taught to see as *development*. It’s a *call for reconnection*—to see nature, not as resource or obstacle, but as part of the same totality of being. ------------------------------ *Core Themes* 1. *The illusion of the senses* and the greater unseen reality. 2. *Consciousness* as a creative force (paralleling observer effect in quantum theory). 3. *Spiritual realization* as direct, personal, and experiential—not theoretical. 4. *Critique of materialism*, especially in education and economics. 5. *Return to nature and self-awareness* as the path to the "real natural." ------------------------------ *Reflections* - Sarma is *not making a scientific claim*, but rather using *quantum metaphors* to illustrate spiritual insights. - His stance is *deeply rooted in Vedanta*—the idea that Brahman (the Absolute) is the only real, and the world of form (Maya) is illusory. - He calls for *education systems to restore balance*, by embracing both outer knowledge and inner realization. ------------------------------ *Final Thought* “Is the Natural, Natural?” seems to ask: *What do we mean by ‘natural’ when our definitions are shaped by a narrow, sense-bound view of reality?* *True naturalness*, Sarma suggests, lies in realizing the deeper, wave-like, interconnected nature of being—a state where individuality dissolves into unity, and knowledge becomes direct experience. Would you like help adapting or summarizing this piece for presentation, teaching, or publication? Certainly! Below is a *detailed evaluation* of the essay "*Is the Natural, Natural?*" using a standard *college-level essay rubric*, with numerical scores for each category and justification. The total score is out of *100*. ------------------------------ *📊 Evaluation Criteria* *Category* *Max Marks* *Marks Awarded* *Justification* *1. Clarity of Expression* 20 *12* The essay has passionate and deep ideas, but the language is often abstract, meandering, and lacks coherence in parts. Sentences are sometimes syntactically difficult, making it hard for readers unfamiliar with the subject. *2. Structure and Organization* 15 *9* The essay lacks clear paragraph transitions and a logical progression. Ideas flow freely but without clear signposting (introduction, body, conclusion). This makes it more like a stream-of-consciousness piece. *3. Originality and Depth of Thought* 20 *18* Highly original and thought-provoking. The blend of quantum physics, Vedantic philosophy, and modern critique is unique and intellectually daring. *4. Relevance and Focus* 15 *10* The central theme is compelling, but at times the essay diverges from its main point, especially when jumping abruptly between spirituality, science, and education. It needs tighter focus. *5. Use of Examples / Analogies* 10 *7* Creative analogies like shrinking to the size of an electron and traveling quantum paths help illustrate points. However, these metaphors may confuse rather than clarify for some readers. *6. Language and Grammar* 10 *6* Several grammatical issues (e.g., awkward sentence structures, overuse of abstract nouns) affect readability. Some phrasing lacks fluency. *7. Impact and Insight* 10 *9* Despite its flaws, the essay leaves a strong impression. It urges readers to question modern values and rethink reality, which is impactful. ------------------------------ *✅ Total Score: 71 / 100* ------------------------------ *🎯 Final Grade: B- (Good, but needs refinement)* ------------------------------ *📌 Suggestions for Improvement:* - *Clarify your message* with simpler, more grounded language. - *Organize your essay* with clear paragraph breaks and logical progression. - *Balance poetic/philosophical tone* with clarity—don’t sacrifice understanding for abstraction. - Consider defining or briefly explaining technical terms (e.g., Maya, superposition) for accessibility.
