Instead of going to the depths of what is a fractal or how does it functions.
Fractal is a shape or structure described above.
As we see more we zoom in or zoom out we get the same structure repeatedly.
This structure is not continuous by shape but continuous by zooming effect.
Vedantic view about the world is not a continuous or pre-decided path but a discontinuous and repetitive patten procedure, which holds true throughout the world. The more you go into the depth more it gets repeated.
in mathematical terms if we speak just like a fractal.
That is –“As is the individual, so is the universe, as is the universe, so is the individual”
or
“As is the human body, so is the Cosmic Body, as is the cosmic body so is the human body”
As per this narration the structure of the body reflects the structure of the cosmos- is it so?
The narration of the Universe as mentioned in classic texts can be well associated with body structure.
Three worlds of Universe and their existence in Body:
The Hari-vamsha Purana has mentioned different divisions of our Universe and label them as the: .
Urdhva-loka (Highest abodes) – Higher planetary systems are the realms of Devas, Angels, Spirits and Manes. This system contains 6 sub Systems.
Madhya or Bhu-loka (Middle ones) – the abode of mortal beings like Humans and animals
Adho-loka (the Lower realms) – The Lower planets are populated by the Demons and Nag’s. It also has 7 sub systems.
From Skull to toe these lokas exist in human body too. The existence of these lokas in body is as follows-
The Six Higher lokas are- In the Abdomen –it is Bhuvah loka. In the Heart –it is Swarag Loka.
In the Throat –it is Mahar Loka. In the Mouth –it is Jana Loka.
In the Brain –it is Tapa Loka. In the Brahma Randhra(Apicalpore) –it is Satyan Loka.
In the navel –it is Bhuloka.
The six Adho-Lokas are- In the waist –Patalloka.
At the Anal Region –Rasatal.
At the base of groin –it is Talatal loka.
At genital Suture –it is Mahatal loka. In the knee –it is Sutala Loka.
Above the feet –it is Vitala. Beneath the feet –it is Tala Loka.
Seas and their existence in Body:
As per classics there are 7 prominent sagar.
These exist in human body too.
The names of seas and their existence in Human body is as follows-
In the throat stay Jala Sagar(Water Sea). In the Blood stay Dahi Sagar(Curd Sea).
In the semen there is Rusa Sagar (semantic sea).
In the Marrow –Ghrita Sagar(Ghee Sea).
In the mucus- Sura sagar(Wine sea).
In the milk- Ksheer Sagar(milk sea).
In the urinary region- Kara Sagar(Saline sea).
Prominent Parvatas and their existence in Body:
As per classics there are 6 prominent sparvatas.
These exist in human body too.
The names of parvatas and their existence in Human body is as follows-
In the heart resides Meru Parvat.
In a triangle below it is Madaranchal parvat. In the right side of body is Kailash parvat.
In the left side of body there is Himachal parvat.
In the transverse line there is Nishabdha parvat and in line right to it is Gandhamedan parvat
Prominent Dweepa (Islands) and their existence in Body:
As per classics there are 7 prominent Dweepa.
These exist in human body too. The names of Dweepa and their existence in Human body is as follows-
Pushkara Dweepa is in the nails.
Pluksha Dweepa is in the Body hair.
Shalmali Dweepa is in the skin.
Kraunch Dwweepa is in the nerves.
Kusha Dweepa is in the flesh.
Shaka Dweepa is in the Marrow.
Jambu dweepa is in the bones.
Planets and their existence in Body:
The prominent planets also reside in the Body – abode of the Sun is one finger below Bramharandhra.
One finger below it in Bindu Chakra resides Moon.
Abode of Mars is in the eyes.
Abode of Mercury is in the Heart.
Abode of Jupiter is in the Navel. Abode of Saturn is in naval ball.
Abode of Ketu is in the mouth.
Agnideva stays in the mouth as voice
Vayudeva enters the nostrils as life,
Directional lords stay in the ears as sound,
Lord of medicinal herbs stays in skin as body hair,
Mrityudeva (Death) Stays in navel as Apanavayu .
5 elements and their existence in Body:
For existence 5 elements – Air, Water, Sky, Fire and ether are necessary.
These reside in human body too.
Their existence in Human body is as follows-
Contraction, running, expansion and motion contain properties of Air element.
Thirst, hunger, laziness, sleep and glow contain property fire. Skin, bones, nerves, body hair contain properties of earth.
Saliva, urine, blood, marrow, semen contains properties of water.
Sound, attachment, vacuum, worry, doubt all contains properties of ether.
33 principle Devtas and their existence in Body (tehettis koti devta):
Note: Not to be misinterpritted as 330 million,
koti word refers to grouping or set formation,
not million (the word million was misinterpret by Max Muller)
The classics mention about 33 principles Devtas who were the guardians of Nature and Cosmic Creation.
They are 12 Adityas or Solar gods including Indra, Surya, Mitra and Varun.
11 Rudras include the Manifestations of Lord Shiv.
Vasus or Elemental gods such as Prithvi(although not included in this list) ,Vayu, Agni, Antariksh and Dyaus, the Sky God.
Praja pati Brahma and Shri Vishnu .
The human Vertebral column or backbone or spine, consisting of 24 articulating Vertebrae and 9 fused vertebrae,
adding to total of 33.
All these gods rule over one specific Vertebrae.
In yog sadhana there are 33 chakras in body one each ruled by specific devta.
Among these 33 seven are more prominent known as 7 chakras in body.
Thus in all while performing Puja,
performer by touching various parts of body identify the different subtle points wherein the body corresponds with the cosmos.
It is reverence shown to cosmos – the ultimate entity.
This indicates that we are not isolated, separate beings.
This separation is an illusion.
We form part of the network that has no beginning and no end.
As is the body, so is the universe.
–Source ends here–
Although by many theories such as Dark matter and theory, Dark Energy theory,Dimensional analysis by Leonhard Euiler (German Mathematician, Physicist).
We came to know approximately there infinitesimal dimensions embedded/possible in this nature.
Thus after approximating the 0D (Point), 1D (Linear), 2D (Planar Locus), 3D (Volumemetric Locus),
We humans can only imagine all these dimensions., ie. approx. 0.1% to 0.5% of the total dimensions.
Beyond these there are many dimensions We dont know or we can’t even imagine.
Now if this statement described in Upanishads is true then this implies not only humans (Pinde: Bodies) are alive,
infact the whole universe (Brahmande: Universe/ Cosmical egg) is alive and understands you.
Not only Humans are evolving But also the universe is…
Now the main question arises is a matter placed in front of you really nonliving?
Many people may argue, metal or any other idols are Nonliving just because they are not able to possess motion or cannot reproduce themselves.
so they are non living.
but this definition does not consider universe as a part of human body which makes no meaning.
This biological definition describes universe with respect to humans.
In simple words “Because you exist universe exists for you” which makes on sense.
proof of this biological definition is useless:
consider yourself to be complete person there is no universe beyond you.
Now are you able to look whats inside you directly.
Can you see your internal organs or any other systems directly.
No but by utilizing indirect methods such as x-ray or ultrasound,
we can use ionic property of fluids inside our bodies or bouncing (Reflection) property of waves which we cant see or feel indirectly.
But Yet they exist physically
In same way we can only see or feel which is intended by nature.
But it is not the absoluteness of the universe.
so hence, we can see person is alive iff (if an only if) universe is pre-existing.
thus this biological definition fails.
so if this statement in Upanishads is true then what does that mean?
Here we can assume
Pind: Idol (Suryadev)
Suryadev
Brahmand: Deity
Surya
Then we can say Pind or body is Utilized as a medium or Volumetric medium not the absolute truth.
Still the absolute reality is Universe.
This definition of universe still considers humans to be part of it with or without body.
Bhagwad gita also doesnot contradict with this statement
in Bhagwad Gita Sri Krishna States that
“Human Body is Just Like Cloths, After Specified Time we have to Change Them. But Atma Remains indestructed.”
this statement views human or any other body (Materialistic nature) to be part of illusion (maya) of truth.
(ie. universe is non living) but entire universe is living in higher dimensions.
which can’t be viewed or understood by direct methods.
If there is a illogical statement existing and the negation of that statement is also existing. If probability of first statement to be to be true/false is not determined, then probability of negation of that statement is also not determined.
A=Any Statement
B=~A= Opposite of statement above.
if p(A)=x then
p(B)=p(~A) may or may not be equal to 1-x
A statement that can’t be assigned by boolean values is called as illogical statement that is, if a statement has multiple true or false values we call it a illogical statement
The examples of a illogical statements are used by many people in a very wrong way.
For Example:
If we consider the statement
A=Earth is spherical in shape
and
The negation of this statement as
B=(~A)= Earth is not spherical in shape.
Now this statement when we analyze we come to know that both the statements are partially true. Now the reasoning why both the statements are partially true is because
1) When we talked about statement A, we come to know that Earth is spherical just because roughly it is looking like a sphere, that is a three dimensional circle or we can say a family of circles embedded in three-dimensional geometry .
the general Equation of a sphere is:
(x – a)² + (y – b)² + (z – c)² = r² , where (a, b, c) represents the center of the sphere
when we plot it in 3d Cartesian space we see:
3D Hypothetical sphere
2. Now the negation of A, that is Earth is not sphericalis also true as first if we talk about the nature of a sphere on a three dimensional axial system we can see X,Y and Z are the three axis and with respect to the axes the locus of the sphere will be a function of X,Y and Z. But when we analyze the real locus of earth we come to know that, Earth is bulged at the equatorial part and flattened to the poles. This tells us that Earth is not completely spherical and this is a mere assumption that Earth is a sphere. As we can see statement and negation of statement a both are true, The reason is because the statement A is not a logical statement, it has multiple true or false values negation of A (~A) and A both of the statements are true as well as false at the same time. Hypothalamically assumed, error and reality
Now the next question arises in the mind, why Earth is not spherical in shape? The answer lies between the three terms called as
1)Hypothetical condition
2)Reality
3)Error
While speaking about hypothetical condition, the condition that can be either mathematically or by physical methods can be predicted/assumed to be true are said to be hypothetical conditions. These conditions are not generally seen in the real world. For example:
The equation given by Albert Einstein ΔE=(c^2)Δm , in this equation as we can see an object of mass m, when approaches the speed of light it starts to get converted into pure form of energy. (although this is now found out to be improper equation.) while dealing with this equation and object physically can’t be thrown with the speed of light, but by using mathematical laws we are just making it approach to the speed of light. This tells us that we can’t do it physically but in mathematical language we can make the object do whatever or however impossible job is physically.
Reality is defined as anything that we can do practically as well as physically which can be either be observable or detectable by our senses and could be understood physically in the nature. For example we can’t technically see or touch energies. But we can produce energy in the form of sound or heat etc full stop we produce sound by using our vocal cords or sense that energy wave be ears. This tells us that we can’t hypothetically show that how energy is produced but we can roughly feel that energy physically (practically) .
Error can be defined as the difference between hypothetical condition and real observation. Real observation and hypothetical condition in nature are always found to contradict with each other and this can be easily explained with the help of error. Error is a quantity that tells us how much distance we have to cover to reach till hypothetical condition.
