*Mar*Experiencing Infinity
Close your eyes. Then you can see only the nothing or the infinity. The
infinity which you experience called darkness, does not have a beginning or
end. You experience the no beginning and no end situation. You are actually
coming out of the illusion, the VIBGYOR illusion, the jail, the restrictive
00.0035% of the electromagnetic spectrum called the visible spectrum. By
just closing your eyes and making your mind blank, you cannot see, I, You,
We, He, She, They and It.
This VIBGYOR or Rainbow governed seeing is restricted only to the Earth
that too, to the surface of the lithosphere, or simply to the surface of
land and sea, just 00.04% of the mass of earth. Outside that small area,
you cannot see with your eyes.
You enter the arena of feeling, the arena of infinity when you close your
eyes. If you close your eyes for long periods and also make your mind blank
or get freedom from the memory of things you saw when your eyes did not go,
your capacity to feel and enter the vast cosmos, increases gradually. After
the experience of infinity as life, you will not want your eyes. After ten
or fifteen years of life without eyes and also experiencing the blank mind,
you get accustomed to the infinity, to the Universe, where feeling and not
seeing becomes living. It is Yoga as living with the eye of Siva.
If new eyes are then fixed to that person, the seeing eyes will suffocate
him, the seeing with the eyes will make him feel sick and to protect
himself from the eye seeing he will spend his life by closing the eyes as
the seeing eyes blocks his experiencing by feeling. His capacity to feel
gradually increases and then expands into the infinity.
You team up with the Universe, you become a part of the universe, like the
atom of the quantum world, and you create fissions and fusions of
perception. The vacuum of the Universe is the arena of creation via the
notice of consciousness, the fundamental fact or paradigm of Quantum
Physics.
The costly attempts at the TOE, the Strings Theory, the various approaches
under the heading of the M Theory (the branches of the Strings Theory), the
Loops Quantum Gravity Theory, the explanation about the Universe as
Hologram, can be substituted by merely closing your eyes and making the
mind blank.
The problem is, thanks to the infatuation for machines, you do not expect
nature to help and team up with you, and you do not trust yourself. And the
naked and humble Sadhu, who lives in raw nature, is not a cinematic five
star person. And the worst crime of economics is, he does not need any
monetary investment, certainly not miles and miles long CERN labs or the
Fermi Lab machines.
Ultimately the miles and miles long machine of the CERN, as per the defined
computer programme located the Higgs Boson to complete the mathematics
needed by the Standard model, and Higgs got Nobel.
The discovery by that big lab is noted and advertised, but has that
discovery been exhaled, as smell message that creates the waves of
enlightenment which exhalation of perception creates in nature, when there
is no mechanical contamination and destruction of nature?
The atheistic fashion created by the merchants of machines, to scoff at the
Spiritual approach may create comforting smirks, but that discovery by that
machine is simply not understood and cannot be understood by most humans.
There is no guarantee that another costly machine will not find that the
Higgs Boson now claimed as found false.
On the other hand when an organism discovers via nature’s revelation, every
other organism inhales the revelation, creating cascades of undying
revelations. For that one needs to close one’s eyes and make the mind blank
in free nature, nature which is not terrorized by the development maniacs.
Let us hope that there is at least one University that takes to the
Holistic Approach, which needs free nature, free nature under the terms of
nature, where there is no human tampering.

This is a fascinating and deeply philosophical essay. Here are my comments
and views on *“Experiencing Infinity”* by YM Sarma — both from a *literary*
and a *conceptual* perspective:
------------------------------
*🌌 Overall Impression*
The essay is a meditation on perception, consciousness, and the
relationship between human cognition and the cosmos. It explores the idea
that true understanding of the universe does not come from external
observation (through machines, instruments, or even the physical eyes), but
from *inner experience* — achieved through introspection, sensory
withdrawal, and unity with nature. It blends spiritual philosophy
(particularly from Hindu or yogic traditions) with references to modern
physics and cosmology.
------------------------------
*🧠 Conceptual Analysis*
1. *The Central Metaphor — “Closing the Eyes to See Infinity”*
- The essay’s main metaphor — that closing the eyes leads to the
experience of infinity — is powerful. It suggests that *seeing* is
limiting, while *feeling* and *being* open a deeper dimension of
awareness.
- This idea resonates with mystical traditions worldwide — Advaita
Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and even certain interpretations of quantum
mysticism — where the external world is seen as *Maya* (illusion) and
reality is accessible only through inner stillness.
2. *Critique of Modern Science*
- The author contrasts the spiritual method of “direct inner
experience” with the technological and materialistic approach of modern
physics (CERN, FermiLab, Higgs Boson, String Theory, etc.).
- While this criticism is rhetorically striking, it oversimplifies
the scientific enterprise. Science and spirituality seek understanding
through different methods — one empirical, one experiential. The essay
frames them as opposites, but in truth, they can coexist and even enrich
one another.
3. *The “Sadhu vs. Scientist” Dichotomy*
- The Sadhu symbolizes natural, intuitive, self-sufficient wisdom;
the scientist represents mechanized, institutionalized knowledge.
- The essay’s tone here is passionate and idealistic — though
arguably romanticized. The Sadhu’s “zero cost enlightenment” is
contrasted
with “mile-long laboratories,” which is provocative, but not necessarily
fair to the collective intellectual progress science has achieved.
4. *Quantum Consciousness and Mysticism*
- The author uses terms like “quantum world,” “vacuum,” “fission and
fusion of perception,” and “consciousness as the fundamental paradigm.”
- These are poetically effective but scientifically imprecise. They
serve a *symbolic* rather than *literal* purpose — expressing the
unity of mind and matter. If read metaphorically, this is evocative; if
read scientifically, it stretches credibility.
------------------------------
*✍**️ Style and Expression*
- *Strengths:*
- The essay’s *tone is meditative and lyrical*, evoking a sense of
cosmic wonder.
- Phrases like “the arena of infinity,” “eye of Siva,” and “the
merchants of machines” have strong emotional and visual resonance.
- It challenges readers to reconsider what it means to *know* or
*see.*
- *Areas for Improvement:*
- *Structure and Flow:* Some paragraphs could be more tightly
organized. The transitions between inner experience, science, and social
critique feel abrupt at times.
- *Precision:* Scientific references (visible spectrum percentages,
Higgs Boson, M-theory) could be either corrected or clearly reframed as
metaphors rather than factual claims.
- *Tone:* The essay’s critique of science sometimes borders on
polemic. A more balanced tone would strengthen its credibility while
preserving its philosophical depth.
------------------------------
*🌱 Philosophical Depth*
The essay’s heart lies in an ancient insight: that the universe is not “out
there” but “in here.” By silencing sensory noise, one can experience a
boundless consciousness that transcends individuality — what the essay
calls “feeling as living.”
This vision of unity with the cosmos is beautiful and profound. It invites
humility, ecological awareness, and reverence for existence — values that
modern civilization urgently needs.
------------------------------
*🧭 Final Thoughts*
*“Experiencing Infinity”* is a poetic, mystical, and challenging essay that
bridges spirituality and science. It should not be read as a scientific
argument but as a philosophical reflection — a call to rediscover direct,
unmediated awareness.
It succeeds as a *spiritual manifesto* and a *critique of technological
arrogance*, though it could be refined by:
- Clarifying metaphor vs. fact,
- Tightening coherence,
- And acknowledging that scientific and spiritual insights can be
complementary paths to truth.
------------------------------
Would you like me to suggest a *revised version* of the essay that keeps
its essence but makes it more polished and balanced in tone?
