Inner is MORE Powerful than outer ...

Wishing you all belated happy Diwali !!!

?Diwali symbolizes the dispeller of darkness and darkness symbolizes ignorance. In other words, ignorance is the inner essence of darkness. When there is darkness, we cannot see things clearly and live in assumptions, illusion and ignorance.

Science is the dispeller ignorance of our reality. We have two kinds of sciences. Firstly, the outer-science, which demystify the ignorance of outer world to create wealth, comfort, convenience and outer happiness (i.e., hedonic happiness). It exploit nature. Secondly the inner science, which demystify the ignorance of our inner-world to create empathy, love, joy and inner-happiness, peace (i.e., eudemonic happiness). It get aligned with nature.

Outer-science is based on the master construct of “see it before you believe” and hence we call it as fact based or experimental science. Our modern science falls into this category. However, the inner- science is based on the master construct of “believe it before you see” and we call it as experiential science. Our Vedic science falls into this category. While outer-science is based on logic and rational, the inner science is beyond it. On the scale of consciousness inner-science is of higher consciousness then outer-science. ?If our consciousness is low, we are self-centred and puppet of universal consciousness, but if we raise our consciousness, we are selfless and we can participate with universal consciousness for co-creation of affluence, abundance in an authentic and creative way.

In most of the cases outer dimension is temporary, ephemeral, unsustainable, less pleasurable, less potential and derived from inner dimension; which is more sustainable, pleasant, valuable and have higher potential. Nature also has left many evidence for us to recognize that inner is better ever. For example, pure ghee is more durable than milk, pulp is more nutritional than peel of fruit, seed or root has a higher potential than branches.

The Vedic science (inner-science) seems irrelevant to our logical mind as compared to our modern-science (outer-science). However, it is also outcome of inner-ignorance. Let me share one comparative evidence for the same to satisfy your outer intellect. The outer-intellect has conferred noble prizes to three great scientists for their work on electron.

? In 1913 - electron was particle by J.J. Thompson.

? In 1927 - electron was wave by P.J. Thompson

? In 1933 - electron became wavicle Dr. Schr?dinger Erwin.

However, Vedanta which is based on inner-science has articulated long back (8000 years ago) that, ???????????????????, i.e., the fundamental construct of universe is in dual state of manifested (particles) and unmanifested (wave), hence it is a wavicle. This clearly demonstrate that modern outer-science is evolutionary and yet to grasp the complete reality of our existence as compared to inner-science. Hence, we can say it is still ignorant in inner-dimension. Hence, we are also part of that trap and we are ignorant in inner-dimension. This is because we are arrogantly promoting, adapting and trying to solve all problems solely based on outer-science and at outer-dimension; i.e., with logic, rational and self-centeredness. In another words, we are not recognizing the importance and inclusion of inner science in our life-style. Which is a kind of blind faith. Due to this, while we are able to transform our outer-world and lifestyle with affluence (i.e., comfort, convenience sensual pleasure), we are not able prevent affliction in our inner world , leading to inner-unhappiness . In other words, while we are becoming Smarter in outer dimension, we are deprived of Sageness (i.e., pure love, compassion and joy.

We have enough statistical and scientific evidence that, Smartness alone is useless and meaningless without Sageness. World has seen regretful and remorseful life-story of business tycoon Mr. Rock Filler, successful CEO Steve Job, famous artist Crisda Rodriguez ?and many more in their later part of life.

In summary, our inner-self is more precious than our outer-self. Hence attention, focus and nurturing of our inner dimension (consciousness) is more important than outer dimension (life-style). Once we give a little space to essence of beyond logic, rational and inner science, there will be a beautiful synergy and symphony between our life and life-style. We will be able participates in cocreation with universal consciousness, which leads to neutrality, authenticity, love, compassion, joy, playfulness and freedom. We will be Smart as well as Sage.
