It moves, It moves not
It is very far, And it is very near
It is inside the jagat, it is outside of it
As well.

Though a samsari
(ordinary folks who are never worried
about the higher purpose of existence) cannot make-out anything out of it, the
Scientists are capable of deciphering. They use similar language to describe
the quantum states of particles inside an atom and of course, Time & Space.
Our grasp of the Universe with its three dimensions, Time, Space and Energy is
no longer applicable in a situation when the fourth dimension, Mind is taken
into account. We take Time and Space as separate entities which in the real
case are a continuum. It’s an illusion that we experience Time and Space
separately. Error, that is. Just Maya. Nataraja
Guru defines Maya as Universal possibility for error.
Time itself is not absolute. An event cannot be marked at
a definite location. It is purely subjective and varies according to the
observer. The position and speed of the observer are decisive. No natural
phenomena is permanent. Everything varies as Time and Space are subjective.

The Relativity Theory says that Universe has a beginning and
an end. We know that an atom is an empty space, more or less. The constituent particles
of an atom move at a very high speed. In essence, Matter is made up of atoms
and objects are an array of atoms. What appear to us as shape and stillness (of
an object), its essential characteristics, is nothing but a void. At the same time,
the dynamic activity inside an atom gives the object its identity (called satta in Sanskrit). Vibrating motion is
the basic cause of satta.The nuclear
structure of an atom determines its uniqueness. Nothing stays static around us.
Nothing is inactive. Everything in the Universe is in a dance, except perhaps,
homo-sapiens. Each dancer is
synchronized perfectly with others. One cannot single out an individual dancer
to study the secrets of synchronization. The bonding between them is to be
focused first.

Modern Physics is not yet successful in unrevealing the
secrets of Cosmic Dance. The scientists cannot fully explain the interactive
process of the particle world. It manifests itself in two states at the same
time, in electromagnetic waves and as quantum packets. The electromagnetic
waves are not three dimensional as we see on the surface of water, but “probability
waves” which have all the characteristics of three-dimensional waves. It is
just the probability of the particles to appear at a particular position in
Space at a definite point in Time. We just cannot predict an event with respect
to particles accurately. Only the possibility can be given.
Probability waves alone are not sufficient when the energy
involved is quite high. Take the case for example, the particle attaining a
velocity near to that of light. Only Relativity Theory
can explain the situation. According to RT, the mass of a particle increases as
its velocity increases. When the velocity approaches that of light, mass
becomes infinite. We just can’t imagine this.

According to Vedanta, Time & Space is the creation of
Mind. Past and future do not exist. Nor does an individual. These are only
surface-realities. The universe, its countless galaxies, stars, Earth and of
course, you and me included. We get our character due to our inter-relation and
inter-dependence with everything outside of us. It is impossible to make a
demarcation between the observed, observer and the process of observation. (Triputy in Sanskrit). Strictly speaking,
one is not observing, but participating. The process influences the characteristics of
the observed. In the end , the participator becomes one with the other two .
Triputi gets dissolved.
Everything becomes One.
