In Search of Absolute Truth

Ramesh Malhotra

Description

The second in a series, this book offers an in-depth look at the Rig-Veda, a collection of ancient, mythology writings that discuss preservation and transformation.
An educated scientist and businessman, author Ramesh Malhotra seeks to unveil the secrets of nature known to ancient spiritual scholars. In 2013, he published Spiritual Wisdom based on the holy scripture, Bhagavad Gita. And lately, he’s been working to unveil truths buried in the Vedas, composed by spiritual scholars throughout the years before the second millennium BCE and extending into the Late Bronze Age.
In the first volume of In Search of Absolute Truth, Malhotra journeys through complex, ancient Rig-Veda mystic mythology, writings that address various aspects of creation preservation and transformation, covering the first five chapters of the Rig-Veda. He shares that finding knowledge buried in holy scripture is like climbing a mountain. Your judgment and perception are constantly refined as you move higher and higher in understanding the Vedas. You come to know absolute truth only when you reach the pinnacle, look around, and see that many hills make the mountain peak of the absolute truth.
This follow-up work, In Search of Absolute Truth: Rig-Veda Volume II: Spiritual Involution continues where the first volume leaves off.

Part IV MYTHOLOGICAL SPHERE
Preface to Part IV
A fter the creation of the dynamic universe and establishment of the ground (Prithvi) located on the surface of planet Earth, all positioned within the terrestrial region, which has already experienced physical evolution. The creation called the astral body, which provides a domicile for the immortal spirit, manifested as the enhanced mysterious body Manu, capable of perceiving paranormal activities (phenomena). These activities include mythological, transcendental, and worldly. The first, mythological, still supported by the supreme powers of causation, including the supernatural, mystic, and faithful powers, commonly supported by an organized structure that used to explain the unexplainable. The second, transcendental, supported through specific practices such as yoga, meditation, contemplation, and undivided devotion to confirm the eternal truth. Here, infinite mind and heart join to go beyond even the divine nature to unveil the secrets of Mother Nature and come to know eternal truth. It goes beyond special plants (soma) to acquire mythical juice and then use the glands to transform this mythical fluid into nectar ( amrita ) to experience ecstasy. With both mythical juice and mythical fluid, astral bodies may reach beyond physical limitations and come to unveil the secrets of the supreme powers of causation. The third, worldly, is where the manifested mortal embodiment already exposed to transcendence, beginning to use a pragmatic approach to explain unexplainable actions. Embodiments even supersede the supreme powers of causation or the laws of nature that established in the worldly sphere; human beings do not accept paranormal activities unless proven with facts. They seek the unknown aspects of nature through scientific discovery. They accept nature as is and see no need to go beyond it to understand that which cannot perceived either by touch or through physical experience. If something cannot seen and observed in the same form by more than one, human beings define it as abnormal.
The ignorance behind these three aspects noted by the same invisible supreme powers of causation that prevail to regulate both the differentiated and undifferentiated universe—all forms of knowledge encompassed within one eternal truth. This means all creations, manifested mortal embodiments and immortal embodiments; that which is imperishable and that which is perishable; all immediate surroundings in the world and beyond; all aspects of the undifferentiated universe and the differentiated universe; and dormant and dynamic fiction and absolute truth.
Paranormal activities and phenomena fulfill the longings of the intuitive mind, heart, and soul, which helps individuals to understand existence and nonexistence. The ability to unveil hidden truths depends upon the seeker’s ability to find resolutions to the problems facing humanity. The goal of each creation is to seek inner enlightenment, comprehend spiritual involution, and overcome the misery of living a material life.
In terms of mythology, the great primordial mother ( Shakti) , with her feminine mystical power, appears to serve nature ( Prakriti ). This unmanifested feminine power accompanied by an unmanifested masculine power ( Purusha ). Together, they create the celestial, cosmic, and terrestrial regions. They jointly induce potency, which establishes the substratum located above the surface of the ground ( Prithvi ), from where they perform unexplained phenomena that create circumstances that impact moving and unmoving manifested mortal bodies. Through such phenomena, all creations cultivate wisdom. Through spiritual practices, manifested bodies come to comprehend the great elements of natural power. Through cosmic mystic forces, they transform to learn about the mythical powers created by the supreme powers of causation that influence individual embodiments and allow them to experience potency, which helps them gain control of their lives and others’ lives, which pass from nonexistence to existence and go beyond the current state of existence. By genesis itself, the creation of a manifested embodiment represents a complex progression where physical mortal embodiments provided with a domicile by giving birth to ( Purusha) , an invisible immortal embodiment, to acquire cognizance, through which they perceive and recognize their existence within the dynamic universe and, further, come to comprehend the powers of Mother Nature ( Prakriti ). This allows manifested embodiments to perform the actions and engage in the activities they need so they can survive as mortals. Further, such embodiments come to realize they are all regulated by divine powers (Divine will ), which connect the individual living spirit ( Atman ) prevailing within their embodiments with the ultimate universal soul( Paramatman) , which prevails in and regulates the manifested dynamic universe.
These aspects of attainment described within the Rig-Veda appear in chapters 6–10. After completing the initial physical evolution covered within the first volume, the readers, as the author did, will find it much easier to comprehend the spiritual involution relates to manifested embodiments such as human beings.
CHAPTER 9
Potency Dominion
T he potency dominion is the home of the astral body, which prevails throughout the terrestrial region, where the body lacks a hard shell and has a living spirit within a soft, unprotected abdomen, making the body vulnerable to predators. The soft abdomens of these astral bodies, hidden inside their shells, specially designed to wrap around and grip the coiled central columella-like snail shells. The heavenly bounteous power ( Rudra ), comes to serve, bringing the wind, ( Vayu ), which turns the air into a breeze and then creates breath, prana, which establishes itself as sovereign and fills the world with treasures and wealth, which if properly managed establishes a tranquil path through which one may come to overpower sorrow and be granted powers to serve as a chief. Rudra even embodies as a subservient poet, living happily with his children with such a boon that it enables the embodiments to survive one hundred winters. Understanding all this, the gods, in the form of awareness, transform selected living things, including creatures among the animal kingdom, into living beings. Human beings become aware of their surroundings and thus attain consciousness to act and to understand their actions, living in a moving and immobile body, which enhances the ground they live on and allows those things living in the underworld—the earth, ( Prithvi )—to progress.
TRANSFORMATION
According to Rig-Veda 6:1, the primordial energy, Shakti, from her invisible form, comes to appear as a potency. Like the heavenly bull, as the father, Shakti creates the phenomenon that allows physical powers to transform into spiritual forces through the mother serving as the heavenly cow. Such transformation endows with virtue the physical body, which acquires knowledge and wisdom to comprehend the new world, which can no longer conquered by anyone other than the godhead ( Indra ).
