Chapter 29: Quantum Darśan — When the Restless Vacuum Becomes the Universe and the Mind

1. Nothingness Is Never Truly Empty

We often imagine the universe beginning from absolute nothingness. But in science, “nothing” is never truly nothing. Even when space seems blank and silent, it silently vibrates with subtle energy, just like a quiet room that still contains faint echoes, hums, and air movement if we listen closely.

In physics, this restless background is called the vacuum. It is not dead space but a dynamic field filled with tiny fluctuations. Nature does not allow perfect stillness.

Just like a calm ocean that always hides currents beneath its surface, the cosmic vacuum is a sea of invisible ripples. This restlessness is the root of creation.

2. The Vacuum as a Restless Ocean of Possibilities

Even when the ocean looks calm, beneath it are vibrations, pressures, and flows. Similarly, empty space is never truly empty—it is saturated with quantum fluctuations, gentle energetic waves that appear and disappear.

Nature forbids absolute zero movement. Just as the ocean can never freeze completely still, the vacuum cannot reach zero energy. This impossibility is not a flaw; it is the creative power of existence.

These vibrations are the seeds of galaxies, just as subtle thoughts are seeds of personality.

3. How Energy Hides Inside the Vacuum

Now imagine pushing a beach ball underwater. The harder you try to hold it still, the more energy it stores. The moment you release it, it explodes upward. Trying to force perfect stillness creates hidden energy.

The same happens in the vacuum. When space is pushed toward perfect equilibrium, it stores tension inside itself. This hidden tension is called vacuum energy.

Sometimes the vacuum holds so much suppressed energy that it becomes unstable. This unstable condition is called a false vacuum, similar to supercooled water that remains liquid below freezing temperature but holds immense latent energy, waiting to release the moment it is disturbed.

This false vacuum is the root of cosmic inflation.

4. The Sudden Birth of Inflation

When the false vacuum could no longer sustain its unstable stillness, it snapped into a more natural and stable state—just as supercooled water instantly freezes when triggered.

This cosmic “snap” released the stored tension in an explosive expansion of space itself. Like a balloon that suddenly finds a weak spot and expands violently in one direction, the universe expanded unimaginably fast.

This era is known as cosmic inflation.

5. When Tiny Ripples Become the Architecture of Creation

Before inflation, the vacuum contained tiny quantum ripples, quiet and harmless like small waves on a still lake. But the hurricane of inflation stretched those ripples into giant waves. These waves carried different energies in different regions, becoming the blueprint of the universe.

Just as waves crashing on a shoreline sculpt beaches and carve patterns in sand, the stretched fluctuations shaped the large-scale structure of the cosmos. When inflation ended and space cooled, these amplified ripples condensed into matter, stars, galaxies, and clusters. Galaxies are, therefore, frozen echoes of the universe’s earliest vibrations.

6. The Vacuum as the Womb of Matter and Mind

If the universe can create everything from a restless vacuum, then nothing about us—neither the body nor the mind—is separate from the cosmos.

Just as galaxies existed as hidden ripples inside the dark vacuum of the early universe, our thoughts, emotions, and personality patterns exist as subtle vibrations in consciousness before they take visible form.

The “empty” vacuum is a womb, not a void. Likewise, the silent mind in yoga is not dead space but pregnant with awareness. The potential for life, thought, identity, and creativity rests in an unseen background, just as the galaxy rests in the vacuum before appearing.

7. Yogic Analogy: The Mind as a False Vacuum

In human life, our mind is never truly empty, just like the cosmic vacuum is never still. It is quantum reality. Even when we sit silently, there are subtle thoughts and impressions (saṁskāras) vibrating beneath awareness like tiny ripples.

When we force absolute thoughtlessness, we create more inner resistance—just as forcing vacuum stillness stores energy. A meditator who tries too hard to be “calm” builds hidden stress, like the universe storing energy in its false vacuum. Just as the false vacuum of the early universe suddenly released its trapped energy and burst into cosmic inflation, the human mind can also explode into giant waves of disturbance when one enters deep meditation incorrectly or forcefully. If subtle inner impressions are suppressed rather than gently observed, they accumulate tension the way vacuum energy builds up in an unstable state, and when this tension finally releases, it may erupt as emotional breakdown, hallucination, confusion, ego-inflation, or even madness. Proper dhyāna does not push the mind into silence by force; it allows the mind to settle naturally into stillness. This is why Yogic texts emphasize correct practice, clear awareness, and the guidance of a knowledgeable teacher, so that suppressed thoughts do not become cosmic-scale “mental inflation” inside the practitioner. True meditation is a relaxed descent into natural clarity, not a violent attempt to shut down the mind.

A person who suppresses emotions may appear peaceful but is inwardly packed with unprocessed impulses, just like supercooled water that looks quiet but holds explosive potential. When the mind can no longer sustain this artificial silence, it either breaks down or breaks through—snapping into deeper relaxation, tears, creativity, or insight. This moment mirrors the false vacuum collapsing into the true vacuum, triggering cosmic inflation.

However, this inner “inflation” of the mind can become controlled, creative, and deeply transformative when it unfolds correctly through proper guidance and authentic practice. Just as cosmic inflation did not destroy the universe but shaped galaxies when its energy settled naturally, meditation can expand our inner impressions into wisdom, clarity, and creativity when the mind is not forced into silence but gently allowed to open. When thoughts are released consciously instead of being suppressed, they do not explode as madness; they blossom into insight. Proper dhyāna amplifies the mind’s subtle currents in a harmonious way, turning unconscious material into awareness, confusion into understanding, and latent potential into higher intelligence. In this way, deep meditation becomes not a breakdown, but a breakthrough—an orderly expansion of consciousness that reshapes one’s inner world just as the universe evolved through cosmic inflation into magnificent structure.

This natural control of the mind arises through non-dual darśanas such as Śarīra-Vijñāna Darśan and Quantum Darśan, where the mind is not treated as a personal burden but recognized as a universal activity present in every quantum expression of existence. When our thoughts are accepted as part of the same fluctuation that exists everywhere in the cosmos, they are no longer suppressed or resisted; they gently release themselves into the inner “true vacuum” of awareness, little by little, without shock or force. In such non-dual vision, mental energy settles gradually, just as the universe relaxed out of inflation into stable structure. But when many thoughts are continuously suppressed through forced meditation or rigid control, their load keeps increasing like a building false vacuum, storing more and more tension until it bursts unpredictably as emotional breakdown, fear, ego-madness, or psychological collapse. This is the fundamental danger of suppression—its energy does not disappear; it accumulates. It is just like controlled energy release from aviation fuel that allows an airplane to fly steadily, whereas sudden, uncontrolled release of the same fuel causes explosion, fire, and destruction. In the same way, a mind guided by non-dual understanding evolves creatively, while a suppressed mind can erupt destructively.

Thus, just as the cosmic vacuum released its energy gradually to form stars and worlds, our emotional and psychological energy can also transform into clarity, awareness, and wisdom when it is allowed to release naturally instead of being forced down. When thoughts are accepted and observed without judgment, they dissolve into understanding the way cosmic tension dissolved into creation. But when the same inner energy is violently suppressed in the name of silence or control, it does not disappear—it becomes unstable, storing pressure like a false vacuum that can collapse without warning. Forced suppression may look peaceful on the surface, yet it hides dangerous intensity underneath, waiting to erupt as breakdown, confusion, fear, or madness. In the same way that gentle energy release builds galaxies while an uncontrolled explosion destroys, a relaxed, non-dual approach to the mind creates inner evolution, while forceful suppression risks psychological disaster. True meditation does not choke the mind; it liberates it.

8. The Subconscious and the Cosmic Blueprint

The tiny subconscious ripples within us, magnified during intense yoga, meditation, or life experiences, later shape our personality—similar to how quantum ripples stretched by inflation shaped galaxies.

Just as deep yoga expands old impressions and stabilizes them into clarity, the universe stretched fluctuations into cosmic structure and stabilized them into matter. Galaxies are the frozen patterns of primordial fluctuations; our personality and behavior are the frozen results of our subconscious vibrations.

Both journeys—the cosmic and the psychological—begin from restless “nothingness” that must release itself through creative expansion rather than forced silence.

9. Quantum Darśan — Consciousness as the Ground of All

The vacuum that generates the cosmos is not a dead backdrop; it is the field within which all possibilities exist, waiting to manifest. Yoga calls this ground Brahman, the silent witness behind all movement.

Quantum physics and yogic wisdom meet on the same foundation: everything in existence is a single reality expressing itself in different forms. What we call the universe is consciousness first becoming energy, that energy condensing into matter, and matter eventually organizing itself into life, brain, and mind. As awareness grows, the mind begins to recognize its source, and experience returns back into consciousness again. In this way, the same fundamental stillness expresses as vacuum, becomes the universe, evolves into living beings, and finally reflects back as thought and awareness. All forms are simply different stages of one reality unfolding and returning to itself.

Final Realization

Real stillness is not forced emptiness but natural settling.
The universe expanded to relieve its tension; awareness expands in meditation to relieve psychological tension. Creation—cosmic or personal—arises not from dead emptiness but from a fertile depth of subtle vibrations.

One-Line Essence

The cosmos and the mind both emerge from a restless emptiness that naturally transforms into creative expansion.

Chapter 28: krodha or anger in quantum world as second basic emotion

Krodha, in its profoundest sense, is not merely an emotional eruption but a cosmic principle of resistance. Just as Kāma expresses itself as the drive toward union, Krodha emerges as the force that confronts, opposes, and fractures anything that obstructs the cosmic flow. In the language of physics, this duality is mirrored in the fundamental interactions that hold the universe together—attraction and repulsion. If Kāma corresponds to the gravitational and electromagnetic pull that binds particles, stars, and even living beings, then Krodha can be seen as the repulsive quantum force that prevents collapse, preserves identity, and destroys what blocks equilibrium. At the subatomic level, this resistance manifests in the Pauli Exclusion Principle, nuclear repulsion, and opposing spin states that forbid particles from occupying the same quantum space. Without such repulsive dynamics, matter would merge into a featureless mass and the cosmos would have no structure. Thus, Krodha is not a negative force; it is the fierce protector of balance, the destroyer of excess, and the guardian that upholds individuality within the universal play.

1. Electron–Electron Repulsion (Pauli Exclusion Principle)

In quantum physics, no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state or crowd too closely together. This resistance is not accidental but a fundamental expression of nature’s law known as the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which manifests as a fierce repulsive force preserving individuality at the subatomic level. In human psychology, anger often arises in the same manner—not as blind aggression, but as a boundary-restoring impulse that protects one’s identity, personal space, or energetic integrity. Just as electrons repel to prevent collapse of matter into a formless mass, anger emerges to prevent the collapse of the self into submissiveness, exploitation, or erasure. Thus, Kāma and Krodha play complementary roles: Kāma seeks to unite what is separate, while Krodha separates what must remain distinct. Love without boundaries dissolves into chaos, while anger without the memory of love becomes destructive. When understood together, they form a balanced polarity that sustains both cosmic order and psychological wholeness.

2. Matter–Antimatter Annihilation

In the quantum realm, when matter encounters its perfect opposite—antimatter—they do not merge, negotiate, or coexist. Instead, they annihilate one another in an instant, releasing a burst of pure energy in the form of gamma radiation. This dramatic event echoes a subtle inner phenomenon within human consciousness. When opposing forces within us—such as ego and truth, desire and reality, or illusion and clarity—collide without harmony, the result is often an explosive surge of emotion, most commonly anger. Yet this anger is not merely destructive; it is a radiant conversion of contradiction into awareness, just as annihilation transforms dense particles into light. At its deepest core, anger becomes the soul’s rage for truth, a force that burns away falsehood, hypocrisy, and self-deception. What seems violent on the surface is, in essence, an alchemical process: a transformation of emotional density into pure insight, much like matter turning into luminous energy.

When elders suddenly prohibit youngers from their actions they become angry as there wrong action collide with the right action. They think elders as source of anger and get annoyed with them. But when they are tactfully guided towards right action, still little anger is produced in them but it’s gradual, controllable and its energy well transformed into right action. In former case they are scolded and prohibited from doing, not guiding them to right action. So their freed energy don’t get channelised but becomes source of anger.

3. Quantum Fluctuation Instability

In the quantum vacuum, energy is never quiet. Even in what appears to be empty space, virtual particles constantly flash into existence and disappear again, creating a ceaseless turbulence. These fluctuations are normal, but when they grow too intense, they disrupt the stability of entire systems. This same principle operates in the human mind. When the manas, the subtle mental field, is stirred by unmet desires or unresolved needs, its energy begins to oscillate restlessly. If this inner fluctuation becomes excessive, it breaks through as irritation or anger. In essence, anger is the restless vibration of energy trying to restore balance, much like unstable quantum fluctuations seeking equilibrium. In yogic terms, such anger can be understood as Kundalini striking against obstructions in the nāḍīs, attempting to clear pathways for a smoother flow of consciousness.

Just as physics describes virtual particles as momentary fluctuations of a quantum field—not real objects popping in and out of existence—anger too is not a real entity inside the mind. It is simply a temporary disturbance in the mental field, a spike of energy created when desire, fear, or resistance disrupt inner equilibrium. Quantum fields ripple when pushed from balance, and the mind-field does exactly the same: a small fluctuation passes unnoticed, but a strong one rises as irritation and, if amplified, appears as anger. In both cases the “thing” is illusion; only a transient pattern exists. The moment the field regains stability, virtual particles disappear back into silence, and anger also dissolves into clarity—revealing that neither ever had solid, independent existence.

Quantum fluctuations and human anger share the same dual nature: both can create or destroy depending on their intensity. In physics, gentle quantum fluctuations seeded the early universe with tiny density variations that later grew into galaxies—creation born from subtle disturbance. But when fluctuations become too strong, they destabilize fields, trigger phase transitions, and can tear apart atomic bonds, as seen in high-energy collisions or during cosmic inflation—destruction born from excess disturbance. The mind behaves the same way. Mild anger can be constructive; it breaks stagnation, energizes action, and helps correct injustice, just as small fluctuations help the universe reorganize into higher order. But intense, uncontrolled anger overwhelms the mental field, breaking relationships, clouding judgment, and damaging the body—just as large fluctuations can collapse stability in quantum systems. In both worlds, small ripples generate growth, while violent waves shatter equilibrium.

A quantum field trapped in a false vacuum and Kundalini caught in obstructed nāḍīs are reflections of the same cosmic principle: energy becomes dangerous only when denied its path. In physics, a field resting in an unstable valley looks calm on the surface, yet holds immense tension beneath; one strong fluctuation is enough to push it out, releasing a burst of energy powerful enough to reshape spacetime itself—as happened in the early universe, or as could occur in a hypothetical false vacuum decay. In the inner universe of the human being, Kundalini behaves no differently. When nāḍīs are open, the rising energy becomes insight, strength, and awakening. But when obstructions hold it down, the same force strikes repeatedly against the blocks, erupting as anger, frustration, or emotional upheaval. The danger never lies in the energy, whether cosmic or human; it lies in the confinement. When the pathway is clear, the energy transforms creation; when blocked, it becomes destruction. Thus, both cosmos and consciousness whisper the same truth: unobstructed flow is harmony, trapped energy is turmoil.

If the early universe had remained trapped or blocked forever in a false vacuum (vaccume with high potential energy like a water filled dam at a height), creation would never have unfolded. A false vacuum carries immense energy, yet its confinement blocks its transition to true vaccume (vaccume with lowest potential energy) needed for matter, atoms, and galaxies to arise, leaving the cosmos as an endlessly inflating but forever empty expanse—a reality suppressed before it can even begin. When the false vacuum transitions to a true vacuum, its excess potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of quantum fields. This additional motion strengthens the fluctuations within the fields, and these amplified vibrations manifest as quantum particles. The same principle appears within the human being: when life-energy rises and meets a permanent obstruction in the nāḍīs, the resulting anger is not merely a burst of emotion but a sign of trapped potential that cannot evolve. If the blockage never clears, the energy remains frozen, unable to rise into clarity, creativity, or growth. Thus, whether in the vast universe or the inner world, trapped energy does not destroy through violence but through suppression—by preventing higher states of reality from ever emerging. in contrast, if nadis are open, the life energy rushes up and distributed to entire body in low energy form as basic energy form. The excess energy released then becomes available for transformative thoughts and experiences that support growth. But if this surge of high energy remains permanently blocked in the inner channels, it merely expands the time-space of life without forming new ‘particles’ of experience. When such energy cannot express or transform, it often appears outwardly as anger.

I am writing from my own practical experience. There was a time when I used to be angry almost all the time, frustrated with everything and everyone, living in a constant off-mood filled with suppressed anger. In truth, it was not people who troubled me—my energy itself was suppressed, blocked like a dam. I was always in a fighting mode, not for attack but for defence as I had tolerated sudden attacks, and not like a classic wrestler, but like a puncher or knocker, and though I actually fought only two or three times, the aggression had become my inner habit. Because of this constant inner tension, my health began to suffer, and even the so-called “energy boosters” I used only harmed me in the long run. Then, by God’s grace, I met a tantric-type person—fully functional in worldly life yet inwardly deep—who taught me an intuitive, indirect tantric method of channeling energy upward through the backbone. It was more of a mental tantra than a physical one, yet with time it naturally benefited the body as well. When the obstruction in my Kundalini flow dissolved, my anger disappeared instantly. I could laugh, love, and feel intimacy again. That once-trapped energy transformed me, opening beautiful states of awakening and setting me on a path of continuous writing and book creation that still flows today.

Why hide anything from sincere readers? In truth, I simply surrendered to that long-suppressed romantic image — even went clean-shaven like a laughing Buddha in front of it. Lol. It laughed, I laughed, the world laughed, and eventually even life itself laughed. That very surrender opened the back channels on its own. I did no formal practice. The once-suppressed love awakened in the mind with the support of Mūlādhāra energy, rewiring and refreshing my brain enough to bring a complete transformation—rising happiness, renewed clarity, and a successful worldly life. In time, as life and inner maturity ripened, that same love-energy in the form of love-image naturally redirected itself toward the guru-image, deepening through yoga and tantric sādhanā and culminating in awakening.

True and False Vacuum of the Mind: A Scientific Analogy of Dhyāna and Cosmic Quantum States

In deep Dhyāna, two types of mental states are experienced. Both appear like a thoughtless vacuum. During the preparatory phase, the mind first passes through a dull, thick, unstable, and darker vacuum that can be called the individualised false vacuum. Its excess energy is dissipated in the form of fleeting thoughts, which are effortlessly witnessed due to slow and regulated observation of the breath. Because of this witnessing, these thoughts gradually dissolve, and the mind enters a peaceful, thin, blissful, lighter, and low-energy vacuum that appears stable. This can be called the individualised true vacuum. It is possible that this true vacuum draws energy from deeper subconscious layers as the power of Dhyāna penetrates the mind over time.

After about an hour, this calm state again shifts into a heavy, agitated, and high-energy vacuum. This state feels unstable, and a desire to stop Dhyāna naturally arises. However, if one continues sitting, the mind releases its excess energy again through fleeting thoughts, just as the cosmic false vacuum transforms into the cosmic true vacuum by releasing energy in the form of quantum particles through agitated quantum fields. By allowing this process to continue without interference, the mind once again settles into the individualised true vacuum. This cycle of alternating states—false vacuum and true vacuum—can continue repeatedly, as long as one remains in Dhyāna.

I personally observed this during a seven-day Bhāgavatam Katha Śravaṇam. The daily Katha lasted for three hours, and I remained in Dhyāna throughout, witnessing these cycles, each phase lasting slightly less or more than an hour. Such a spiritual environment made it easier to sit effortlessly. In daily life, however, this atmosphere is not present, so after completing one full round in Dhyāna, I usually end the practice when the false vacuum returns due to lack of time and supportive surroundings.

Interestingly, ending Dhyāna while still in the false vacuum allows its excess energy to dissipate into non-dual worldly activities, which makes the next Dhyāna session begin with a faster transition to the true vacuum. If one maintains a non-dual attitude throughout the day, the arising thoughts in the false vacuum are naturally witnessed and dissolved, gradually bringing the mind back to the true vacuum.

However, if a person engages in worldly activities with duality and attachment, or without proper witnessing of fleeting thoughts, one remains stuck in the energetic false vacuum for a long time. In such a case, no spiritual growth occurs, and the energy remains stagnated at a high potential. Although the release of this stored energy into worldly pursuits can temporarily create a brief sense of peace, satisfaction, and fulfilment, the human mind soon fills this space again with physical and mental clutter, returning to the habitual false vacuum. Therefore, the true vacuum must be sustained for a longer duration through spiritual behaviour, otherwise the false vacuum becomes the default state of life.

Upon finishing the task, or during the next sitting, when the practitioner again begins Dhyāna, the light mental vacuum automatically returns for the first hour. This implies that the extra energy contained in the heavy mental vacuum was dissipated through worldly action when done in karmyoga style with the help of nondual darshan like sharirvigyan darshan or quantum darshan. This process resembles cosmic creation, where the false vacuum decays into the true vacuum, and the excess energy is used to produce the universe. The true vacuum is closer to God, the ultimate state of absolute stability. Thus, one may say that creation occurs through inspiration from God. Just as the energy of the mental false vacuum produces dualistic worldly actions, the energy of the cosmic false vacuum decays to create diverse quantum particles by breaking the symmetry of quantum fields and forces.

These vacuums are actually quantum fields. They are never still and always remain in motion. Their lowest state of fluctuation is called the true vacuum, while a higher fluctuation state is called the false vacuum. This implies that the mind is also a quantum field—an inner or individualized quantum field—which never comes to rest, just as it has long been known in philosophy that manas is chanchal (restless).

A time comes in a yogi’s life when even this true vacuum appears to dissolve into a fully motionless mind-field. This is the experience of the Self in its completeness, known as mature Nirvikalpa Samādhi. This experience suggests that there may also be a stage in cosmic devolution when even the last traces of quantum fields disappear. In this sense, the quantum fields dissolve into a baseless, infinite space—also referred to as God.

The same has been described in the Vedas by ancient seers, especially within Vedānta philosophy. Vedānta states that creation emerges again in the same—but reverse—order during cosmic evolution. First Prakṛti or Māyā arises within Paramātman, and from it the universe unfolds in an orderly manner. However, the Sāṅkhya school offers a more “modern” or so called scientific approach by proposing that Prakṛti, or the grand quantum field, is eternal like Puruṣa (Paramātman) and does not dissolve into it. Thus, Sāṅkhya recognizes two primordial eternal realities, while Vedānta accepts only Brahman as the sole eternal principle. However, the Vedānta explanation feels more authentic to me, because it mirrors the inner cosmos just as perfectly as the outer cosmos.

The ancient seers did not observe cosmic events through telescopes, they did not build particle accelerators, nor did they fill papers and books with mathematical formulas. They observed within themselves, and through that inner exploration, they inferred the laws governing the external cosmos.

4. Electrical Discharge (Lightning Analogy)

Lightning is born from imbalance. As electric charge builds up in storm clouds, the difference between cloud and ground becomes too great to contain, and the sky releases its tension in a sudden, blazing discharge that restores equilibrium. The same pattern unfolds within the human psyche. When emotional charge—frustration, desire, insecurity, or pressure—accumulates without release or grounding, it seeks a way out. If not guided, it discharges as anger, sharp words, or destructive behavior, just as lightning strikes indiscriminately. The spiritual lesson is simple: unreleased energy leads to tension, and accumulated tension eventually explodes. But when a person learns to ground awareness, to hold the charge with clarity instead of reaction, the same energy can be transformed rather than discharged blindly. The yogi, therefore, does not waste the bolt outward; he channels it upward, turning raw emotional electricity into illumination.

Once, in a moment of anger toward someone close, I experimented with grounding this emotional charge instead of letting it explode outward. As soon as I drew the rising energy downward, it felt as though the fire in my head dropped into the chest, and the mind instantly became still—like a tense cloud suddenly releasing rain. Yet something remarkable happened: from the chest, the energy flowed into both arms, filling them with an unexpected surge of strength. The impulse to attack vanished, but the vitality remained, as if the body had been prepared for action without aggression. Had there been danger, that same force might have served as powerful self-defense, but since the mind was already calm, it simply settled into the muscles as pure potential. This experience revealed that anger is not merely destructive; when grounded, it transforms into usable strength. The energy does not disappear—it becomes power without violence, readiness without rage.

5. Entropy Increase and Chaotic Reordering

In quantum thermodynamics, every system naturally moves toward greater entropy—toward disorder—and when its balance is disturbed, chaos erupts not as a failure but as a route to a new equilibrium. Disorder becomes the catalyst for reorganization. The same principle operates within human emotion. Anger may appear destructive, yet it often shatters rigid patterns of stagnation, revealing truths we have ignored, confronting boundaries we have tolerated, or dismantling situations we have silently endured. In that sense, Krodha becomes not merely a breakdown but a breakthrough, a force that burns away what has become stale, false, or suffocating. Philosophically, this is Shiva’s Tāṇḍava at work within the psyche—fierce, transformative, purifying. It is the universal law of creative destruction, through which new harmony arises only after the old has been consumed by the fire of change.

For example, when an electron rests quietly in its ground state, it is in a low-entropy, perfectly ordered condition. The moment a photon strikes it, this order is shattered—the electron absorbs the energy, jumps to an excited state, and enters a phase of instability and unpredictability. This brief chaotic state is entropy rising, just as anger breaks the rigid calmness of the mind and throws the inner system into disorder. But the chaos does not last; the electron soon releases the extra energy as a photon and settles into a new stable level. Although order returns, it is never the same as before—the system has emitted energy, interacted with its surroundings, and permanently increased the universe’s entropy. This is the quantum picture of creative destruction: old order breaking, chaos rising, and a new equilibrium emerging, exactly like Krodha functioning as Shiva’s tandava within the psyche. In this sense, entropy is not merely the spread of disorder; it is the universe’s own method of development. What appears as chaos is often a necessary breaking of rigid patterns so that creation can continue in a new form. Just as Krodha functions in the psyche—disrupting the old order so a deeper harmony can arise—entropy, too, serves as the silent architect of evolution, transformation, and renewal.

We often see people living in the same comfortable nest for years. After a while, they become stagnant and even feel it themselves. A desire to rise above that ground level arises—this is kāma. But when someone interferes with their upward movement, anger is produced within them. This anger is like an excited energy state: powerful, but impossible to sustain for long. Eventually, they compromise and settle at a middle level—slightly above their previous base state, yet below the unstable, excited level of krodha. This krodha is beneficial for their transformative development, provided it remains controlled and within human boundaries. Just as an electron does not harm its environment while undergoing its own ‘krodha-like’ excitation, but instead contributes to new formations and growth, a person must use anger constructively. Those who get carried away by the emotion and lose control may take harmful missteps—something that can be avoided through contemplation rooted in the quantum darśana.

In truth, anger often arrives like a friend to support one’s upward movement, but many people misunderstand it—especially when its intensity feels uncomfortable. They see it as an enemy that has come to ruin their life, instead of recognising it as a force that needs tactful handling and redirection for growth. When they resist or suppress it, the pressure only builds instead of reducing. Just as a gun’s barrel is damaged if the muzzle is blocked and the trigger is pressed, suppressed anger can harm the body and mind. What it really needs is redirection—transforming it into love, friendship, courage, or firm positive determination. Anger is a powerful form of energy that can accomplish great things when used wisely, but can cause harm when left uncontrolled. Inside a heater’s element, electrons collide with atoms and push their electrons into excited states. The atoms do not resist this agitation; instead, they safely bring their electrons back down to the ground state of calmness by releasing the excess energy as photons, illuminating the world. In the same way, the excess energy of krodha should light up one’s life with clarity and strength thus lighting the entire world, not create the darkness of inhumanity.

Deeper Understanding

Within the cosmic cycle of forces, three currents continuously sustain existence. Kāma, the impulse to create and unite, corresponds to Brahma, the generator of forms and relationships. Krodha, the force that breaks, resists, and destroys what obstructs harmony, reflects the fierce energy of Rudra, who dissolves what has outlived its purpose. Between them flows Śama, the quiet balance of peace and preservation, expressed as Vishnu, who maintains order and nurtures continuity.

Seen in this light, anger is not an impurity to be suppressed but a sacred movement of Rudra that rises only when dharma—or natural order—is disrupted. It is the impulse of the cosmos to correct imbalance. In quantum language, this same principle governs fields and forces: when energy accumulates unevenly, nature releases it to restore equilibrium. Thus, anger is not merely human emotion—it is a corrective discharge of imbalance, a divine mechanism through which harmony is renewed.

Chapter 27: kama or desire emotion in quantum world

The Core Idea

In human beings, Kāma (desire) is the emotional or energetic pull toward union, fulfillment, or creation.
In the quantum world, while we don’t have “emotion” in the human sense, we do find analogous tendencies — fundamental attractions and drives toward interaction, combination, or balance.

So, although electrons or photons don’t feel, their behavior symbolically reflects the same universal principle that, in human consciousness, manifests as desire.

Quantum Analogies to Kāma

The attraction between an electron and a proton is the universe’s simplest example of union. Just like the attraction between lovers or the complementary pull of Shiva and Shakti, opposite energies naturally move toward each other. In the quantum world, an electron can be seen as “desiring” the proton because opposite charges attract and try to become stable together. When the electron finally binds to the proton, it releases energy in the form of light, similar to a radiant release in human intimacy. This event becomes the universe’s most basic act of union, where attraction creates balance, light, and the transformation of pure energy into the structured form of matter.

Quantum Entanglement

Just as two people can share a deep emotional or psychic connection, feeling each other’s state even when far apart, the quantum world also shows a similar mysterious bond. When two particles interact and become entangled, they remain connected in such a way that any change in one instantly affects the other, no matter how distant they are. This strange link reflects a hidden oneness beneath apparent separation — a silent reminder that everything once united continues to long for unity. In human consciousness, this same tendency appears as love, attachment, or a subtle longing to remain connected with what we feel to be a part of us.

Quantum Entanglement and the Unity of All Beings: A Scientific Path Toward Understanding Soul and God

Experiments that violate Bell’s inequality proved that the relationship between entangled particles is not predetermined by any hidden instructions, as Einstein once proposed. The two particles do not secretly decide in advance how they will behave in the future, nor any communication happens between them later on. In these experiments, the particles are probed in different ways—almost like questioning and counter-questioning them—to reveal whether they were “lying” with pre-decided answers. I myself became confused while trying to follow the detailed logic of the experimental tricks, and finally accepted the result without going deeper into the complex questioning pattern. The second key point is simple: no information was allowed to pass between the two particles, because in the experimental design they were separated in such a way that even light could not travel between them in time to coordinate their answers. Yet the particles still responded in a correlated manner. Since no signal can travel faster than light, their behaviour cannot be explained by communication. This means non-locality—or a kind of universal connectedness—wins. If so, then the particles in my body are, in principle, entangled with the particles in your body, and even with particles formed in the Big Bang, because all particles that ever interacted carry traces of that connection. Throughout the journey of countless births, everyone has lived in close proximity to everyone else. This means all beings are entangled with one another and, in a sense, fundamentally united. Once two entities interact, they remain entangled—strongly or faintly—forever. This implies that the whole cosmos is internally united. And perhaps, hidden within this unity, lie the foundations of soul and God.

Energy Transitions and Excitation

At first, the electron needs extra energy to move away from the proton. It absorbs a photon and escapes to a higher orbit, just as a person driven by a desire for independence gathers energy to break away from a relationship. But this separation is unstable. The electron cannot remain satisfied at a distance, just as a human cannot feel complete while roaming “alone in the jungles” without the cooperative support of a beloved companion.

Eventually, the electron naturally longs to return to its original stability. As it moves closer to the proton again, it releases the excess energy it no longer needs. This released energy appears as a photon — a flash of light — just as two lovers who reconcile radiate joy, harmony, and a shining life born from cooperation. In this way, the cycle of separation and reunion mirrors both physics and human love: the return to natural union brings light.

Symmetry Breaking (Birth of Diversity)

Just as humans feel a creative urge to express themselves and to emerge as individuals from pure unity, the universe too seems to have expressed a similar impulse. In the quantum world, the very beginning of existence unfolded when the perfect symmetry of the early universe “broke,” and this breakdown produced particles, forces, and structure — in other words, existence itself. This act of differentiation can be seen as the cosmos’ own desire to manifest, as if creation itself were an expression of love, emerging from unity to reveal itself in countless forms.

Quantum Superposition (Potential Before Choice)

Before a desire takes shape within us, there is a silent moment filled with unmanifest potential — a state of uncertainty before we choose what to feel or do. In the quantum world, something similar happens: a particle exists in many possible states at once, holding the “potentialities of becoming,” until it is observed. Spiritually, this suggests that desire acts like observation; it collapses possibilities into a single experience. When consciousness pays attention, it “chooses” a reality, just as desire gives form to what was unmanifest. In this way, observation becomes a kind of divine Kama — the creative impulse that brings one possibility out of countless potentials into lived reality.

Quantum Decision-Making: How Human Choices Mirror Wave Interference and Collapse — A unique, Wonderful and Scientific Analogy

When a person with wide exposure and a large “mental wavelength” who has travelled the entire earth, considers two destinations such as Mumbai and Kolkata, his mind naturally spreads over both possibilities for he has already covered such places and now want to point out any uniqueness in either of the destinations to follow. These options act like two narrow slits through which his mental wave passes, producing an interference-like comparison that may reveal a third, more appealing destination through constructive overlap of thoughts. With a single option like Goa acting like a single slit, no comparison arises and his choice moves straight, though with a slight spread toward neighbouring places, much like diffraction. Little more spread because he already know this place and not heavily concentrated only on it. If his wavelength is small—say he has never travelled far enough—then even two options appear large enough for his mind to fit through separately, preventing any interference; he simply selects one without much deliberation. It is like the case when wavelenth of quantum wave is smaller than the size of slit and so it passes only through single slit. In case of double slit like scenerio, if someone suddenly asks him, “Where are you going?”, the questioning acts as a measurement that collapses his spread wave of choices into a single definite answer such as “Mumbai,” destroying interference on the spot. By this, being already fixed, he forgets to compare both places so he does not get new ideas about other places and go straight to Mumbai without showing interference of destinations. This is like quantum collapse. And if the environment disturbs him—through stress, urgency, or emotional noise—his mind loses the calm coherence required to compare both cities equally. One option becomes more vivid while the other fades, producing a state of decoherence: the second choice still exists, but no longer aligns with the first, so no interference or superposed comparison can form. He naturally moves toward the option with the stronger inner amplitude of joy that aligns with the energy wave in back moving more towards topmost chakra, just as a quantum wave tends to settle into the most stable outcome shown by highest amplitude. In this way, human decision-making subtly mirrors the behaviour of quantum waves—sometimes spread, sometimes collapsed, sometimes coherent, and sometimes decohered by the world around them.

This analogy is a clear-cut example of how similar behavioural patterns repeat from the quantum level all the way to the grand cosmic level, showing no difference between the small and the large, the near and the far, the subtle and the gross, the living and the non-living, and the conscious and the non-conscious—perfectly aligning with the principle of nonduality. Every life activity seems to be already built into the quantum world; humans have merely made it experiential.

This excellent analogy further shows strongly that a human being is essentially a nondual quantum particle, and the world around him is likewise made of quantum particles. Realizing this can make a person detached, nondual, and egoless, just like a quantum particle. This mode of thinking is similar to the ancient practice of worshipping nature.

Philosophical Bridge

In Tantra and Vedanta, Kāma is not sin — it is the creative pulse of Brahman, the wish “Let me become many.”
In Quantum field theory, the same pulse appears as fluctuation in the vacuum — spontaneous emergence of particle–antiparticle pairs.
Both are the play (Līlā) of one unified field expressing its innate dynamism.

How Kāma Blocks Spiritual Progress: The Hidden Rebound Effect of Minimalism and Solitude

Kāma is the topmost hurdle in spiritual progress. Even the slightest trace of desire diverts attention away from spiritual practices. That is why, since ancient times, sages have advocated a life of minimalism, and even today this lifestyle is becoming increasingly popular. Great kings once renounced their kingdoms and sought solitude for the peace of the soul. I experienced a similar effect during my own lonely living far away from my ancestral home. However, this seems to be a rebound effect: if a person has long been surrounded by various forms of kāma, then shifting to solitude feels transformative. And if, during the rush of desires, one maintains a nondual attitude supported by practices and philosophies like Sharīravijñāna Darśana, this transformation increases manyfold.

But when this rebound force is consumed and diminishes, the solitary life begins to feel normal again—almost like a lower state—with less spiritual momentum. It feels as if a new cycle begins. One day I even bought a simple halogen-based body warmer, and it immediately drifted my mind away from evening dhyāna. I could not enter deep meditation, nor could the breath become subtle or subdued on that day. This experience reminded me that even the smallest comfort can revive dormant desires, and true spiritual progress demands constant awareness of how subtle forms of kāma silently return; yet one must also remember that kāma is a necessary tool for basic body care and maintenance and even yoga too, so it needs to be purified—not suppressed or blocked.

Chapter 26: The Cosmic Connection: Sāṅkhya and Quantum Physics

The universe begins from a quiet background that holds all possibilities but expresses none. Sāṅkhya calls this Prakṛti, and quantum physics describes it as the undifferentiated quantum field—the vacuum that contains every potential pattern of behaviour. In this original state, nothing is separate. There is no world, no mind, no matter, and no individuality. Only a field of pure potential waiting to move. Alongside this stands Puruṣa, the silent witnessing awareness, comparable to the observer in quantum theory. It does not act, but without it, potentials do not become definite.

When the still Prakṛti undergoes the slightest disturbance, the first form of order appears. This is Mahat or Buddhi. In ancient terms, it is the dawning of cosmic intelligence. In quantum terms, it is the first symmetry-breaking where the basic behaviours of reality appear—attraction, repulsion, oscillation, motion, and balance. This is the beginning of structured behaviour in the universe. Nothing is individual yet, but the field is no longer completely still.

Prakṛti is not a physical point before the Big Bang; it is the totally unmanifest potential where nothing is expressed — no space, no time, no particles, no fields, no laws, no symmetry. When this perfect sameness of guṇas is minutely disturbed, the first expression that appears is Mahat, which is pure cosmic order: the universe’s first structured state, like the perfectly symmetric, massless pre–Higgs early universe where all forces are unified and no individuality exists. Mahat is not particles — it is the first “law-framework” that makes particles possible, just like the unified electroweak field before symmetry breaking. When this initial order further differentiates (Ahaṅkāra), symmetry breaks — exactly like the Higgs field choosing a non-zero value — and now distinct behaviours arise. Actually, with the rapid expansion of the universe after the Big Bang, rapid cooling occurs, and the Higgs field condenses just as water freezes when it becomes cold. Some quantum fields interact strongly with this condensed Higgs field and gain mass (like W and Z bosons), and some remain massless (like the photon). This is the stage where individuality begins. From here, subtle qualities (tanmātras) and then space, forces, energies, and finally particles and matter (mahābhūtas) emerge. In essence: Prakṛti is pure unmanifest potential; Mahat is the first perfectly symmetric order; Ahaṅkāra is the symmetry-breaking that creates separateness; and all matter arises only afterward.

From this early order, a definite identity emerges. This is Ahaṅkāra, the principle that creates “this” and “not this.” Quantum analogies are direct: symmetry breaking, origin of differentiation or duality, wavefunction collapse, decoherence, and the emergence of particles from a spread-out field. Ahaṅkāra is not psychological ego; it is cosmic individuality. It is the moment when a section of the universal field becomes a distinct centre of activity.

Once individuality forms, three streams unfold from Ahaṅkāra. The first is Manas, the coordinating mind. It is not intellect; it is simple internal movement—attention, comparison, and the handling of impressions. This matches quantum oscillations, phase changes, and internal state-shifts. In Sāṅkhya, Manas is the most basic layer of mind—not intellect and not identity—but the simple internal mechanism that receives sensory impressions, shifts attention, compares possibilities, doubts, and coordinates information between the senses and Buddhi. It is fundamentally a movement, a flickering, undecided mental activity. This function matches quantum behavior at the structural level: quantum systems constantly oscillate between possible states, their phases keep changing, and their internal configurations shift rapidly before any measurement stabilizes them. Just as a quantum state exists in superposition, oscillating between alternatives until a collapse fixes it, Manas keeps flickering among impressions without final judgment, leaving decisive understanding to Buddhi. Thus, Manas corresponds to the mind’s continuous, oscillatory, pre-decisional activity, analogous to the quantum field’s continuous state-shifts, fluctuations, and oscillations.

The second stream is the rise of the five Jñānendriyas, the cosmic capacities to receive information: vibration (hearing), force-contact (touch), light-form (sight), bonding-pattern (taste), and density-pattern (smell). These correspond to the five primary types of information present in the quantum world.

In simple quantum terms: hearing is like receiving tiny packets of vibration (phonons) — imagine little ripple-packets that travel through a material and make nearby atoms briefly ring; touch is like feeling invisible pushes and pulls (electromagnetic interactions) — like two magnets sensing a push before they meet; sight is like catching tiny packets of light (photons) that carry color and direction, so when they hit an atom they change its state and deliver a visual signal; taste is like two electron-wave patterns meeting and either harmonizing or clashing — if the electron clouds match in shape and energy they bond (a “pleasant” fit like tasty or sweet dish), if not they repel like repelling bitter poison; and Smell is like tiny quantum particles (molecules) floating around. When they hit another particle, they transfer a little bit of their vibration energy. The receiving particle changes its state because of this small energy transfer. That state-change is the “smell” signal.

The third stream is the rise of the five Karmendriyas, the capacities for action: emission, grasping interaction, motion, release, and replication. An excited electron dropping to a lower level and emitting a photon is like doing work or loosing body-matter and hence getting exhausted by it. Just like the body emits actions outward, the atom releases light outward. An electron absorbing a photon and catching its energy is the quantum version of “grasping” or eating an incoming impulse to grow. A quantum particle tunneling through a barrier is the complex motion or movement exhibited by it. In quantum terms, release is like an atom that briefly holds extra energy and then lets it go as a photon. It is like emission karma. The energy is kept for a moment in an excited state, and when the atom settles back down, the photon escapes into space as its excreta—just as the human system releases what it no longer needs. In the quantum vacuum, energy constantly blossoms into pairs of virtual particles that appear, duplicate themselves for a fleeting moment, and vanish again. This spontaneous sprouting of particle pairs is a far cleaner parallel to replication—something arising from a source, dividing into two, and then returning—mirroring the creative, generative aspect of the Karmendriya. Every physical system from particles to organisms expresses these five modes in some form.

After these capacities arise, the universe expresses five Tanmātras—subtle patterns that underlie all experience. These are not physical; they are the core behavioural signatures of reality: oscillation (śabda), interaction (sparśa), electromagnetic form (rūpa), cohesion (rasa), and density (gandha). In modern understanding, they resemble fundamental field-patterns that guide how matter and energy will behave. They are the bridge between pure subtlety and gross manifestation.

When a child first experiences the world, each sense reveals a subtle behaviour of reality: sound shows that space exists for vibration to travel; touch shows invisible interaction like air, pressure, or warmth; sight shows form, light, and the fire-quality of brightness; taste shows cohesion and blending like water; smell shows density or solidness even before a shape is seen. These five Tanmātras—sound for oscillation, touch for interaction, rupa or form, rasa for cohesion, and smell for density—then generate the five elements: space, air, fire, water, and earth respectively. It means the child understands the character of the five basic elements of outside world by experiencing their five subtle essences, called Tanmātras. In the quantum world the same logic appears in subtler form: oscillation of a quantum field is the proof of space-time itself; interaction among fields is the microscopic version of touch and air; electromagnetic patterns carried by photons create visibility, form, colour, and heat; cohesive forces in atoms and molecules create liquidity and blending; And the subtle drifting of tiny particles here and there gives a clue that, somewhere nearby, their gathering creates a dense form.

When these subtle patterns condense, the physical world appears as the five Mahābhūtas. Space (ākāśa) arises from vibration-patterns; motion or air (vāyu) from interaction-patterns; fire or energy (tejas) from EM-patterns; water or fluidity (apas) from cohesion-patterns; and earth or solidity (pṛthvī) from density-patterns. These five are not metaphors—they are the five classes of physical expression seen everywhere from subatomic behaviour to galaxies. The gross universe is simply the final stage of a flow that began much earlier with pure potential.

A human being grows by repeating the same sequence in miniature. At conception and birth, the individual begins as a packet of pure potential—its own Prakṛti, carrying tendencies, instincts, and latent qualities. When the first internal stirrings of awareness appear, they function as Mahat or Buddhi. As the infant’s consciousness becomes clearer, a sense of “I” forms—Ahaṅkāra. This is the child realising it is separate from the surrounding world. Once individuality is set, Manas begins to operate with simple mental movements, while the five sensing capacities (jñānendriyas) gradually awaken and the five action capacities (karmendriyas) develop through natural growth.

As the newborn senses begin working, the subtle tanmātras are recognised one by one. Through vibration, the child perceives space element in which it travels; through touch, it perceives contact that’s the pure quality of air element as it’s invisible to other senses; through light, it perceives form element; through taste, it perceives bonding or liquidity or water element as everything in mouth become mixed with liquid saliva to be tasted; and through smell, it perceives the nature of solids or earth element because things when dried to solid form start emiting odour. In this way, the gross world is built in the mind through the meeting of inner capacities with outer patterns. The world is not given first; it is assembled through the flow of tattvas. Many people think that the gross world formed first and that the subtle elements emerged from it. This leads to an indirect praising of the gross world, which results in attachment to it. In reality, the reverse is true: the gross emerges from the subtle elements. This understanding leads to an indirect praising of the subtle realm, helping one avoid attachment to the gross world and move toward the subtle realm, whose pinnacle is the soul itself. The subtle realm is the only true realm because it is always present, whether the gross world exists or not. The gross world, however, does not exist when only the subtle realm remains. Even when both appear together, the gross world has no independent identity; its identity lies hidden deep within the subtle realm upon which it is layered. We encounter this subtle realm during deep dhyāna.

Because the universe and the individual follow exactly the same developmental order—from silent potential to ordered vibration, individuality, mind, senses, subtle patterns, and finally the physical world—it becomes clear that they are not two. The human is the cosmos expressing itself on a small scale, and the cosmos is the human writ large. Since the cosmos is directly regulated by the quantum world, this also proves the fundamental sameness between the human being and the quantum entity once again verifying the validity of quantum darshan. This mirroring is the simplest proof of Advaita: one reality flowing through many forms. Quantum theory shows that the observer and the observed arise together; Sāṅkhya shows the same through the tattva sequence. Ishwar of sankhya is the same observer of quantum science causing quantum decoherenc and quantum collapse to build classical world as seen by us in gross form. Both point to a single underlying truth—that the separation between the universe and the individual is only apparent. At the foundation, they arise from the same field and follow the same path of unfoldment.

All bhāvas, emotions, rasas, ṣaḍ-doṣas, and the countless subtle feeling-patterns are not inventions of the human organism. They are primordial forces, woven into the fabric of the cosmos from the very beginning. The human body does not create these states—it merely experiences and expresses the eternal patterns already present in the universal field. What we call “emotion” in a person is only the local manifestation of a cosmic principle. By understanding that all emotions, bhāvas, and inner movements are cosmic patterns rather than personal creations, one can cross the ego barrier more easily. When feelings are seen as impersonal forces passing through the body—not “mine” but expressions of the universe—attachment naturally dissolves. The individual realizes that if the cosmos holds these patterns without suffering or bondage, then there is no need to identify with them or be burdened by them. This shift in perspective brings effortless detachment, clarity, and inner freedom.

In the chapters ahead, we will reveal how these feeling-patterns exist in the quantum substratum, long before any biological or psychological form appears. The structures and behaviours found in the quantum world are the same structures that shape the cosmos at every scale, because the quantum layer is the most fundamental building block of all existence. By understanding the quantum patterns, we understand the cosmic patterns; by understanding the cosmic patterns, we understand ourselves in true way.

First, we will examine human mental functions aka gyanendriyas through the lens of the quantum world—beginning with the Ṣaḍarivarga, then exploring the ashta-bhāvas, and finally the shada-rasas. After this, we will analyse the bodily functions aka karmendriyas of the human organism at the same quantum depth. Earlier in this book, we gave a brief, atomic-level explanation of these processes, but now we will unfold them directly at the level of quantum behaviour one by one in detail, using the electron and other fundamental entities as our reference point.

Chapter 24: When the Atom Dissolves the Ego

The exploration that began with matter and moved towards the self now reaches another doorway. Matter has been seen not as something separate but as a reflection of the self. The body has been observed not as a lifeless machine but as a field of consciousness woven through atoms, molecules, tissues, and energies. Now comes the most delicate and mysterious turn in this journey, where the very atom itself reveals the illusion of doership and quietly melts the ego away.

Every atom is endlessly active. Within it, protons and neutrons are bound in ceaseless dance, while electrons whirl around with unimaginable speed. Yet in all this activity, never does an atom declare, “I am the doer.” There is no self-assertion in its functioning. It simply acts because action is woven into its nature. The atom never claims ownership of creation, and yet without it, nothing can move. In this silent humility of the atom lies a mirror for the human being. The body, built of countless atoms, also functions in the same way. Breath rises and falls, blood circulates, thoughts appear and fade, but nowhere within does the body say, “I am the thinker.” Thoughts are not manufactured by the body; they are ripples in the vast lake of mind.

Ancient wisdom had already noticed this truth. In the Gita it is said that the gunas act upon the gunas. Forces of nature act upon forces of nature. Fire burns because it is the nature of fire to burn, wind blows because it is the nature of wind to move. Likewise, actions emerge from the body and mind because it is their nature to act. The witnessing consciousness remains untouched. The illusion of ego is nothing but the mind’s mistaken identification with this flow of actions. Ego believes, “I am doing,” whereas in truth action is happening through the gunas, just as rain falls or a flower blossoms.

Science, too, has begun to echo the same insight in its own language. Physics shows that before any particle is observed, it exists in superposition, holding many possibilities together. Only in the moment of observation does one outcome collapse into being. In the same way, before a thought arises, the mind is filled with infinite possibilities. Each thought is like a quantum collapse, a crystallization from the field of potential into the world of form. Prior to thought, there is only a vast dark stillness, a zero point where every possibility cancels itself by its opposite, leaving nothing but unexpressed energy. This state of unmanifest mind is experienced in meditation as a deep darkness, an ocean without ripples.

When one emerges from samadhi, there is often no immediate storm of thoughts. First, the still energy is felt, like a dark silence holding everything within it. Only afterwards does the chain of thoughts begin to rise, one by one, each collapse giving birth to the next. Ancient yogic language called this process vyutthana, the return of the mind from samadhi. The modern physicist calls it the movement from superposition to collapse. The meaning is the same: from pure potential arises form, from silence arises sound, from stillness arises motion.

During meditation, scattered traces of thoughts may appear like clouds on a clear sky. The seeker need not fight them. Simply allowing them to pass keeps the mind open to the vast akarnava, the boundless ocean beyond. Sometimes a gentle mental chanting of akarnava itself helps link the mind with this endlessness. And when thoughts grow heavy, the ancient method of neti neti offers a simple key. Neti means “not this.” At intervals, when a thought appears, it is quietly dissolved by remembering, “not this, not this.” The thought fades back into the void. Yet even this practice must remain subtle, for if repeated without pause, it turns mechanical and loses its power. Used occasionally, it creates sudden dips into stillness, where breath slows and relaxation deepens.

In deeper meditation, when the awareness is extended to the entire sitting body, something extraordinary is noticed. The body itself becomes a gateway to the cosmos. Every chakra within the body is a hidden archive of universal patterns. Within the heart lie echoes of cosmic emotions, within the throat the seeds of all expression, within the brow the visions of countless worlds. When the whole body is kept in gentle notice, the entire cosmos hidden within begins to open. Thoughts connected with the universe itself may arise, only to dissolve in the same silence.

Yet sometimes meditation feels blocked. Energy stuck at certain chakras creates a sensation of suffocation or heaviness. Breath automatically begins to focus on that region as if the body is trying to heal itself. This is not for oxygen but for prana, the subtle energy required by that chakra. Until these blockages are released, meditation remains shallow. Breathlessness is the sign of release. When, after working through the chakras, breath is naturally held at the end of inhalation or exhalation, a depth opens where suffocation disappears. The once-blocked chakra now feels free, or at least so subtle in its lack that it cannot stop the energy from rising. From this breathless stillness, meditation enters its deepest flow.

Actually, after mastering prāṇa through repeated yoga practice, one can hold the breath at will and focus on an energy-deficient chakra. That chakra then feels “hungry” for breath, producing a sharp, suffocating sensation. In reality, it is not hunger for air; it is hunger for prāṇa. When attention is placed on that sensation, the energy in the suṣumṇā naturally floods that chakra and satisfies it, even while the breath remains stopped or nearly absent. When all the chakras become fully nourished with prāṇa, a breathless and deeply satisfied state appears, which is wonderful and naturally leads to a mindless dhyāna-like stillness.

Seen in this light, the discoveries of Sanatan Dharma appear less as religious imagination and more as profound quantum insights in disguise. The sages saw that everything in existence is conscious in its own way, and thus they worshipped every element as divine. Stones, rivers, trees, animals, all were held as manifestations of the same conscious field. Idols and mandalas were not superstitions but symbolic mirrors to the cosmic order hidden within the atom and within the self. Today, quantum scientists too are beginning to wonder if consciousness itself plays a role in the collapse of possibilities into one outcome. The ancient and the modern are slowly meeting on the same ground.

Science shows the structure. Biology reveals the process. Matter, in its endless forms, presents the illusion of separation. But Sharirvigyan Darshan, the direct seeing of the body as a field of consciousness, dissolves ego through pure vision. In this vision, it becomes clear that the self is not an atom, not a cell, not a body. The self is the field in which all these arise and into which they dissolve. Ego may pretend to be the doer, but the atom has no such illusion. Ego may take ownership of thought, but thought itself is only a quantum ripple arising from silence.

The final freedom is nothing dramatic. It is the melting of ego, the end of false ownership. When this happens, silence itself shines forth, not as something achieved but as something that was always there. The self remains, untouched, unbroken, ever luminous. The journey through atoms, body, mind, and cosmos ends where it began, in the pure witnessing that needs no name.

Thus the story comes full circle. The human being entered the investigation thinking of himself as a separate doer and knower. He examined matter, cells, energies, and mind. He discovered that the atom does not claim doership, the body does not think, the mind does not own thoughts. The gunas act upon the gunas, and he is only the witness. In that recognition, the atom dissolved the ego. The silence behind all action became visible. That silence is the self, radiant and free.

And here ends the adventure of Sharirvigyan Darshan as Quantum Darshan, not in noise but in a quiet flowering. When the atom is seen as innocent of doership, the ego cannot survive. When the body is seen as a field of energies, the mind cannot cling. When thought is seen as a ripple in the quantum ocean, the self shines as the boundless sky. This is the final realization, simple and astonishing: the self was never hidden, only the illusion of doership covered it. With its melting, the journey finds its destination, and the seeker finds himself where he always was—free, silent, eternal.

Chapter 22 – Superposition and Collapse: The Dance of Choice and Becoming

Creation is not a frozen script, but a living play of possibilities. At the quantum level, reality does not exist as fixed entities waiting to be discovered—it exists as superpositions, states of “may be,” “could be,” “shall be.” A particle before observation is not one thing or another; it is many things at once, carrying the fragrance of infinite futures. But when collapse happens—when an act of choice arises out of the silent field—one possibility is plucked from the garden of infinity and becomes the reality of this moment. Thus, superposition is the womb of creation, and collapse is its birth.

Imagine a child standing in front of a shelf of storybooks at night. Before choosing, every book is a possible story for the night — all the adventures, mysteries, and fantasies are equally open. It’s like a whole library of possible nights even though the child will read only one. But the moment the child picks a book, that story becomes the night’s reality, and all the other stories fade back into the shelf. This is exactly how superposition and collapse work: many possibilities exist at first, and one becomes real when the choice is made.

The sages of India intuited this mystery long before the equations of quantum mechanics. In the Upanishads, Brahman is described as “neither this nor that, yet also this and that”—a description that mirrors the quantum superposition. It is the realm where all attributes are held simultaneously, but none is bound. Collapse then is like the act of Ishvara Sankalpa—the divine will choosing to manifest a particular form from the unbounded potential of Brahman. Every event, every form, every particle we see is thus a frozen decision within this eternal game of becoming. That is why the Upanishads declare eko’ham bahu syām—“I am One, and I shall become many”—the divine will at the beginning of creation. Why not see this cosmic will as the very first collapse of pure potential into actuality, taking the form of fundamental fields and particles with specific properties such as form, charge, position, spin, and momentum?

Superposition: The Silent Ocean of Possibility

Imagine standing at the ocean early in the morning. The water is very calm, but that calmness is full of hidden possibilities—waves could rise in any direction at any moment. This is like superposition, where many outcomes exist together before anything is measured. In this “possibility state,” an electron is not spinning clockwise or counterclockwise—it is in a special quantum state that contains both possibilities at once, just like the calm sea contains all the potential waves before any one wave actually forms. Nothing is fixed yet; everything is only potential, waiting for one specific outcome to appear when observed.

In Sankhya, Prakriti before disturbance is completely calm — the three gunas are balanced, nothing has taken form, and nothing has begun. It is a state of pure potential. This is just like superposition in quantum physics, where all possibilities exist together but none is chosen yet. It’s called Prakriti in samyavastha or equilibrium. Prakriti waits for the presence of Purusha before anything moves or evolves. In the same way, a quantum state waits for measurement or interaction before one outcome becomes real. The moment Purusha’s attention falls on Prakriti is like the moment of collapse in quantum mechanics — the instant where potential becomes creation, and one definite reality appears. It’s called kshobha or disturbance in Prakriti. Why not call underlying fields as prakriti in samyavastha and particles born from them as kshobha in prakriti.

Prakriti is like sugar syrup. Within it, the sugar particle in it represents sattva; its dispersed presence throughout the syrup represents rajo guna through constant but unnoticeable movement; and its dissolution, where the particle no longer exists in solid form, represents tamo guna or destruction of particle form. Means in mool prakriti, all the three gunas remain in unchanging amount equally dispersed everywhere. It’s samyavastha. But when sugar particle is separated back from syrup through crystallization etc., then sattva guna varies at different locations as sugar particle has more concentrated sattva than rest of the sugar syrup. Similarly rajoguna also varies as sugar particles shows more concentrated motion than rest of the sugar solution on heating. With this tamoguna also varies for destruction or dissolution back of sugar particles contains more concentrated tamoguna or destruction than the uniform tamoguna in rest of the sugar syrup. If we replace the sugar particle with a quantum particle, the sugar syrup becomes the quantum field. The formation of a particle then expresses sattva as form, rajo guna as motion, and tamo guna as the particle’s eventual changing form, destruction or dissolution back into the field. It proves the same quantum fields were experienced by ancient sages with inner eyes which scientists are discovering as quantum fields through physical experiments. Brahma can be called as cosmic quantum field and soul as individualised quantum field as it has individual’s hidden impressions made from its countless lifetimes. Soul reborns again and again from this individualised quantum field. Liberation is like dissolving of even this field back into pure void space that’s nothing at all and is the background of grand quantum field aka prakriti. It’s only practically possible through nirvikalp samadhi, the top achievement of yoga.

There must exist a grand, all-encompassing quantum field from which every known quantum field arises. Science has not yet detected it, but logic strongly points toward its existence, because everything in nature moves toward unification. Just as diverse particles emerge from individual fields, all fields themselves must emerge from a deeper, singular foundation. In philosophical terms, this is the modern reflection of Prakriti—one source field from which all forms arise and into which they dissolve. Although string theory and few other scientific theories are speculating it.

Collapse: The Birth of Form

Collapse is not destruction; it is birth. When superposition resolves, a particular outcome is chosen and becomes the world. It is like the sculptor striking a block of marble: infinite shapes are hidden within, but one form emerges. Collapse is the act of manifestation, the narrowing of infinity into one thread of reality.

The Nyaya Darshana speaks of pramana, valid means of knowledge, where perception crystallizes the uncertain into the certain. Collapse is a cosmic pramana—it validates one outcome as the “real.” But this validation does not cancel the unseen others; they remain as shadows, as unseen branches in the cosmic tree, perhaps flowering in parallel universes.

Thus, every collapse is like an act of cosmic decision-making. The world is not predetermined; it is continuously deciding itself into being.

Choice as the Engine of Creation

Why is collapse so central to creation? Because collapse is the very engine of becoming. Without collapse, everything would remain an undifferentiated soup of potentials—silent, formless, directionless. Superposition is the clay, but collapse is the potter’s hand.

The Yoga Darshana explains creation as a process of sankalpa-shakti, the power of intention, arising from consciousness. The yogi is taught that by stilling the modifications of mind (chitta vritti nirodha), one returns to the ocean of possibility; but by focusing thought and intention, one collapses possibility into reality. In this sense, collapse is not only physical but also experiential. Each thought we entertain collapses infinite ideas into one lived reality.

In human life, collapse appears as choice. At every moment, we hover in superposition: Shall I act or refrain? Shall I love or withdraw? Shall I see the divine in the other, or reduce them to an object? Each decision collapses countless options into one stream of destiny. Thus, collapse is the bridge between freedom and form.

Quantum Collapse and Indian Metaphysics

In Vedanta, the play of Maya is described as veiling (avarana) and projection (vikṣepa). Superposition mirrors the veiling: the true state of things remains hidden, undefined, unmanifest. Superposition also veils the self luminous soul when it’s ready to collapse. Actually soul doesn’t collapse and can never collapse as it has nothing inside. It is perfect zero. It’s a perfect void. When soul of Brahma takes the form of prakriti, then it becomes full of all potentials. Although basic supreme soul remains fully void as such always. It means the soul of Brahma needs to become veiled to entertain the Collapse. Veiled means there is everything or every outcome in prakriti or bound soul in hidden or veiled or potential form without anything yet expressed through collapse. Collapse mirrors projection: a specific form is projected into consciousness of Brahma or human whatever level. What is hidden becomes revealed, what is possible becomes actual. The cycle repeats endlessly, each collapse weaving the fabric of the manifest.

The Bhagavad Gita proclaims: “I am the gambling of the gambler, the chance among things.” This chance, this sudden crystallization of one possibility among many, is none other than collapse. It shows that creation is not mechanical necessity alone—it is also play (lila), spontaneity, surprise. The universe evolves not by rigid design, but by the freedom of collapse.

Collapse as Sacred Fire

Consider collapse as Agni, the sacred fire. In the Vedic sacrifice, offerings are placed into fire, and fire transforms them into smoke and flame that rise to the heavens. In the same way, the infinite offerings of potential are cast into the fire of collapse. From that fire arises one reality, glowing with form and direction. Every collapse is thus a yajna, a cosmic sacrifice where possibilities are consumed to give birth to actuality.

This yajna continues ceaselessly: electrons choosing orbits, galaxies forming shapes, cells dividing, humans making decisions. All are flames of the same sacred fire.

The Pulse of Becoming

Superposition and collapse together form the pulse of becoming—the systole and diastole of the cosmic heart. Superposition is expansion into infinity, collapse is contraction into form. Together they beat, again and again, generating time, space, and history.

The Kashmir Shaiva philosophers described creation as the pulsation (spanda) of Shiva’s consciousness—an eternal throb between stillness and manifestation. Modern physics echoes this ancient intuition: reality is not a frozen block but a dynamic dance of probabilities collapsing into certainties.

Collapse and Evolution of Complexity

Each collapse does not occur in isolation; it feeds into the next. A particle’s collapse shapes its neighbor’s potential, like ripples overlapping in a pond. Over time, these ripples build into patterns, and patterns into structures. From hydrogen atoms to stars, from DNA to consciousness, the universe evolves because collapses accumulate into order.

In this sense, collapse is not merely local but evolutionary. The cosmos learns from each decision. Diversity emerges because collapses never follow a single path but branch into endless variations. Unity emerges because all collapses occur within the same underlying field. Creation is thus diversity in unity, and unity in diversity.

Collapse as the Mirror of the Self

Collapse is not just a physical event—it mirrors the movement of the Self. The Self is simply that which chooses, that which says, “I am this.” Means it ignores all of its hidden potentials and selects only a single outcome to identify with. In deep meditation, when thoughts fade, we rest in a state like superposition—pure being, without any identity. But the moment a thought appears, a collapse happens: the mind claims, “I am this body, this person, this story.” In this way, life becomes a continuous series of collapses happening on the still, silent ocean of superposition.

The Advaita Vedanta reminds us that behind all collapses, the Witness remains untouched—the pure consciousness that neither chooses nor becomes, but allows all choices and becomings to appear. To know that Witness is liberation, the transcendence of collapse itself. Probably it is this very same detachment and non-duality by whatever means, out of which quantum darshan can be a good one.

Quantum Collapse: The Engine of Creation

If we look at the grand picture, superposition provides the infinite palette, collapse paints the stroke. Together, they are the engine of creation. Without superposition, no possibility; without collapse, no actuality. Creation is thus not a single event but a continuous unfolding, driven by the rhythm of superposition and collapse.

This engine powers not only physics but life, mind, and spirit. Every breath is a collapse of air into lungs, every word a collapse of thought into sound, every act a collapse of freedom into destiny. The universe is not a machine, but a living story—authored moment by moment by the choices of collapse.

Copenhagen interpretation says the collapse is real and that no outcome is determined in advance—and many experiments support this. I also appreciate pilot-wave theory, where a particle is guided by a wave. It fits experimental results quite well. However, it claims that every outcome is already determined, which aligns with Indian philosophy that says everything is predetermined—even the movement of a leaf—and that humans are merely puppets.

If we think logically, when the probability distribution already tells us where a particle is most likely to be found, then perhaps the exact position is also predetermined; we simply do not know it yet.

Many-worlds theory is philosophically remarkable as well. In it, there is no collapse of superposition into a single outcome. Instead, every outcome manifests in parallel worlds. This resembles the human mind: one person may perceive a tree as tall, another as short; one may see it as more green, another as less green. A single object gives rise to multiple subjective outcomes. Many-worlds, in a sense, implies many minds—because the world is nowhere but within the mind.

Yet, among all interpretations, the Copenhagen interpretation—superposition and collapse—fits experimental observations most directly. That seems to be how nature operates everywhere. It is a kind of Darwinian quantum evolution: the peak of the amplitude is the most likely outcome, and nature consistently evolves toward it.

De Broglie was right: everything has a wave nature, whether electron, photon, atom, molecule, mountain, planet, or galaxy. Development occurs through survival of the fittest, and the “fittest” option is simply the option with the highest amplitude. This reveals a deep non-duality, where everything—physical or mental—operates through similar underlying patterns.

At the foundation of reality lies the pure quantum world, an impersonal field that performs the entire cosmic play without any capacity to feel. It creates, transforms, and dissolves everything effortlessly, yet it remains completely non-experiential, untouched by emotion or awareness. From this arises the quantum-human, a subtler layer where feeling and experience do appear, but with complete detachment and nondual clarity. The quantum-human experiences all sensations, thoughts, and perceptions generated by brain-wave dynamics, yet never mistakes them as “mine,” and therefore remains inwardly free. The mistake happens at the level of the macro-human soul, the ego-sense, which identifies with these brain-wave activities and assumes, “These thoughts are mine, these feelings are mine, this world is mine.” This misidentification creates duality, attachment, and ignorance. The quantum-human represents the middle path—a state in which a social human aka macro human being can still feel, relate, think, and live, but without falling into attachment and ignorance. Unlike the purely non-feeling quantum world, which no embodied person can emulate while living, the quantum-human offers a balanced model: fully feeling, fully aware, yet inwardly liberated. This is the practical ideal that Quantum Darshan points toward—living in society while maintaining the detachment and freedom that arise from understanding the deepest quantum game.

In nutshell, the main point of the story is that mystics discovered the ultimate truth and perfect peace by practicing seeing everything in the world as equal to themselves this way or that way that I also feel—meaning the inner working of everything is similar to that of a human being. Experience has already revealed this, and science will also reveal it fully one day. The division between living and non-living is superficial; at a deeper level, the functioning of all things is astonishingly similar. Call it the collapse of potential thoughts into specific thought or thoughts into a decision or something else—experience can never be denied simply because science has not yet fully explained it. Experience reigns higher than science. First comes experience; science only later affirms it so that even laypeople and non-believers can understand and believe it.

Conclusion

Superposition is the silence of infinite potential; collapse is the voice that speaks one possibility into being. Together, they form the essence of creation: freedom held in balance, then released into form. The Indian darshanas recognized this in their own tongues: as Purusha’s glance upon Prakriti, as the projection of Maya, as the pulse of spanda, as the divine will of Ishvara. Modern physics recognizes it as the quantum wave collapsing into measurement. Both are describing the same mystery: reality is not found—it is chosen, moment by moment.

Creation, then, is not behind us as a past event, but within us as an ongoing act. With every collapse, the universe is reborn.

chapter 21- Entanglement: The Hidden Thread of Unity

Imagine a universe where nothing is separate—not even for a moment. A universe where every particle, every star, and every human heart is silently connected through an invisible thread. This hidden thread is quantum entanglement, and it may be the most profound clue we have to understanding the unity of existence. What begins in physics soon expands into life, society, consciousness—and even spirituality.

If spin is the rhythm of creation, position is its stage, energy is its fuel, charge is its attraction and repulsion, and mass is its weight, then entanglement is the invisible thread that binds everything together.

Entanglement is one of the most mysterious qualities of quantum particles. It means that two or more particles, once connected, remain linked even if they fly apart across the universe. What happens to one immediately affects the other, as though an unseen string ties their destinies together.

To understand it in simple terms, imagine two lamps that were once lit from the same spark. No matter how far you take them—one on a mountain, another deep in a valley—their glow flickers in harmony. When one shifts, the other responds. This is how entanglement works. It defies distance and time, whispering that unity never truly breaks, even when diversity blooms everywhere.

Unity Beneath Diversity

Creation looks like diversity to our eyes: stars, rivers, animals, trees, and people. Everything seems separate. Yet entanglement suggests there is a deep oneness running beneath this seeming separation. Like a spider’s web, invisible yet holding all its strands, entanglement ensures that the cosmos is not a scattered puzzle but a woven tapestry.

Why not call entanglement an analogy to human society, where each member interacts with all the members to live and earn livelihood together? With this cooperation both manufacture various structures and machineries in a similar way. One insight emerges from here. Take an example: quantum particles make human eyes; humans make cameras. Both are similar, so the maker of both also proves similar. It also means both work in a cooperative society through similar 5 work senses, feel through 5 feeling senses, think with mind, decide with intellect, and have all bhavas, emotions, rasas, and arishadvargas. Simply, the qualities we see in humans are reflections of deeper cosmic principles already present at the fundamental level.

When the first quantum particles emerged, they did not float around in isolation. They carried within themselves silent connections with others. Because all are the children of single mother space. Each collapse of entangled particles did not just decide the fate of one—it shaped the destiny of both and probably even all to more or less extent, simultaneously, no matter how far apart they were. This synchronicity became the secret glue of creation.

Human’s married and family life can be understood through an analogy with quantum entanglement: just as one particle can be maximally entangled with only one partner and only partially with others, a husband is maximally entangled with his wife and indirectly with their children through her, while maintaining partial entanglements with society. Multipartite quantum entanglement fully resembles the family unit, where husband, wife, and children form a shared web of connections. If a person had a deep love affair before marriage, he became maximally entangled with that lover, and therefore cannot form maximal entanglement with his wife but only a partial one, exactly reflecting the monogamy and distribution rules of quantum entanglement. That is why purity is preferred for marriage, and society considers this a valid reason. If someone is accused of loving another partner, he or she is maligned and dishonoured. Similarly, In school and college life, students who get into romantic or sexual relationships with someone of the opposite sex tend to show less bonding with other classmates. This simply means that quantum particles behave very similarly to human beings in terms of family and social relationships, symbolically proving non-duality at all levels.

In Indian Darshana, this resonates with the idea of Advaita—the non-duality of existence. Just as the children of a mother are indirectly entangled with each other through their one shared mother, in the same way all quantum particles — or everything in existence — is entangled to some degree through the one shared mother: space itself. It is a reverse analogy, but it explains the idea clearly.

The Choosy Collapses of Entanglement

So how does entanglement guide creation? It does so through its choosy collapses.

When two entangled particles exist in superposition, each remains a cloud of possibilities until one collapses into a definite state, instantly shaping the state of the other. This is not merely a passive reaction but a creative choice of nature. In a deeper sense, all particles arise from the same shared space — the single ‘mother’ of creation — and therefore carry faint traces of connection with all others, just as children remain indirectly linked through their mother. Although modern physics shows that strong entanglement fades through decoherence, the underlying unity of space and quantum fields suggests a subtle background interconnectedness. Every collapse, every quantum decision, participates in shaping the unfolding cosmos, reflecting the profound non-duality behind the dance of forms.

This is also evident from the fact that every event in the body and even cosmos is connected to the past, future, and even processes occurring elsewhere in nature. For example, when strong stomach acid enters the mouth during vomiting, there is an immediate profuse flow of saliva to neutralize it; otherwise, the acid would dissolve the teeth. This hints at entanglement occurring even at the macroscopic level.

If two entangled particles must always be opposite in spin, when one chooses “up,” the other instantly becomes “down.” If one locks into a position, the other aligns correspondingly. It is similar to the case of two people arguing: when one becomes angry, the other calms down to maintain harmony. In the same way, married life works better when one partner embodies a more masculine energy and the other a more feminine energy. This coordination echoes everywhere in creation. It is as though nature whispers, “Even in difference, remain one.”

Through countless such coordinated and harmonical collapses, the universe maintains order — galaxies stay together instead of flying into chaos, atoms form stable molecules, and even human hearts feel subtle connections across distances. Entanglement is not just a physical phenomenon; it is the universe’s way of reminding us that, beneath everything, we are all connected.

Entanglement and Living Beings

Look at how life mirrors this principle. A mother feels the cry of her child even from miles away. Twins often sense each other’s moods without speaking. Friends think of calling each other at the same moment. Science may call this coincidence, but at its root lies the same mysterious entanglement that connects all existence.

Just as quantum particles collapse together, our lives, too, are woven in collapses of destiny. The choices of one being ripple through the web, shaping the path of another. Entanglement makes the cosmos less like a machine of cold parts and more like a living organism, breathing in unity.

In simple forest tribes or small rural communities, people often feel more emotionally connected, because their lives are quieter, slower, and less filled with distractions. In crowded metro societies, this emotional ‘coherence’ breaks down due to noise, stress, and constant mental clutter — very similar to how quantum entanglement disappears in particles when they interact too much with their environment. This is the social equivalent of decoherence. Yet even in big cities, a faint sense of connection still persists — between family members, close friends, or even strangers who suddenly understand each other without words. This lingering human coherence suggests that, just as some emotional entanglement survives in complex societies, a very tiny trace of quantum entanglement might also persist in complex and noisy natural objects. It would not be strong or useful like laboratory entanglement, but the fact that coherence never becomes zero hints at an underlying unity that never fully breaks.

Entanglement as the Harmony of Creation

Imagine a grand orchestra. Each instrument is unique, playing its own notes, yet all are tuned to a single rhythm, otherwise the music would be noise. Entanglement is that hidden rhythm. It ensures that even when the violin sings differently from the drum, both remain part of the same symphony.

Without entanglement, the world would splinter into lifeless fragments, like scattered beads without a thread. But because of it, the beads form a necklace—diverse in form, united in purpose.

Quantum Collapse: The Engine of Creation

At the heart of it all is quantum collapse. Creation is not a pre-written script. It is a live performance, each moment born afresh when a particle chooses one possibility out of many. Collapse is the great chooser, the silent decision-maker.

Entanglement adds depth to this act. One collapse does not happen alone—it carries others along, weaving a larger order. It is like dominoes falling in patterns, not randomly, but in carefully chosen designs that give rise to galaxies, stars, life, and consciousness.

Collapse is the engine that keeps creation moving, while entanglement ensures that the engine’s many parts remain in harmony. Together, they make sure the universe is not just a collection of accidents, but a living, breathing dance of unity and diversity.

Closing Thought

Entanglement teaches us that separation is only skin-deep. Beneath the surface, all existence remains connected. Every particle, every being, every star is part of a silent unity. When quantum particles collapse, they do not just create diversity—they reveal that this diversity never left its unity.

In this light, entanglement is not only a scientific puzzle but also a spiritual reminder: we are many, yet one; different, yet inseparably bound. Creation thrives on this truth, and collapse is the way it continuously paints the picture of unity within diversity.

Quantum darshan; Chapter 19 – Parity: The Tilt of Creation

At the very start, the universe was almost perfectly balanced — like a mirror showing the same picture on both sides. It simply means, In the beginning, the universe was perfectly symmetric—there was no left-right distinction between object and image, no real-virtual difference between the two, and although charges, forces etc. were opposite, they were exactly equal, creating a state of complete balance. Every particle, every force, every tiny action had an equal and opposite twin. If the universe had stayed this way, nothing would have moved. Nothing would have changed. Nothing would have existed as we know it.

But the universe didn’t stay perfectly balanced. It tilted. Even a tiny tilt was enough to start everything moving and changing. This small imbalance is seen in two important ways in science:

  1. Parity asymmetry – Some forces in nature, like the weak nuclear force, do not treat left and right the same. Tiny differences here meant that the universe could have direction, that one side could behave differently from the other. The weak nuclear force is the only one that prefers one “handed” direction over the other, breaking the mirror symmetry of nature. This tiny one-sidedness preferred reactions that allowed matter to win slightly over antimatter after the Big Bang, making the very existence of stars, worlds, and life possible. Likewise inside the body, If prana flowed perfectly symmetrically in the Sushumna, meaning equal left and right, equal up and down, there would be no directional impulse—no manifestation of individual experience, no creation of worlds—just pure nonduality, just as perfect parity symmetry would prevent matter from winning over antimatter, leaving the universe empty. This imbalance in the magnitude of prana drives specific emotions and actions. When the upward-moving prana is dominant, a person becomes more spiritually oriented; when the downward prana is stronger, one is more physically inclined. Similarly, greater prana flow in the left channel (Ida Nadi) makes a person more feminine, while dominance in the right channel (Pingala Nadi) makes one more masculine. When prana becomes equal in all directions, the opposing currents neutralize each other, leading to breathlessness in Kevala Kumbhaka or Nirvikalpa Samadhi—a thoughtless pre-creative state, just like the stage preceding the beginning of creation.
  2. Matter-antimatter imbalance – At the beginning, matter and antimatter were almost equal. But there was a tiny excess of matter. This small difference is why stars, planets, and life exist at all. Without it, everything would have destroyed itself in a flash of energy. Likewise inside the body, at the very beginning, the potentials for stillness and manifestation were almost equal: the upward and downward currents in the Sushumna flowed symmetrically, just as matter and antimatter existed in nearly equal amounts. Then a tiny excess of upward flow appeared, creating just enough imbalance to spark individual experience—thoughts, sensations, and life—allowing consciousness to unfold into worlds, while a small excess of matter over antimatter allowed stars, planets, and life to exist. Without this slight tilt, everything would remain in perfect nonduality, like a universe where matter and antimatter annihilate each other completely, or a Sushumna where energy flows perfectly symmetrically, producing no manifestation at all.

Let us rewrite this in further detail. At the very beginning, the universe was almost perfectly balanced, like a mirror reflecting an object — left and right were opposite in appearance but equal and followed the same rules. Although they appear slightly unequal—differing only in direction—they remain identical in their underlying laws and reactions. In other words, both have been said equal with respect to rules obeyed, not appearance. This is called symmetry: even if something looks reversed, its behavior is still predictable and is equal to parent form. But if the universe had stayed perfectly symmetric meaning if particles and their mirror images were equal in number, nothing would have moved or changed. Everything would have cancelled out with its mirror image. Matter and antimatter would have destroyed each other, forces would have canceled out, and creation could not have begun. Treat antimatter as mirror image of matter. A tiny tilt — a small breaking of symmetry of number or force — changed everything. Weak forces began to treat left and right differently, a scientifically proven effect called parity violation, and some reactions slightly favored matter over antimatter — a phenomenon known as CP violation or charge-pairity violation. Matter and antimatter always have opposite charges. Matter is what makes up the universe — electrons, protons, and neutrons — while antimatter is their “mirror opposite,” like positrons and antiprotons. Normally, when matter and antimatter meet, they annihilate each other, producing energy. But in experimental particle decays, there is a slightly higher probability for matter to form than antimatter. Though these differences are extremely tiny, they pile up repeatedly in the early universe, eventually creating a small excess of matter that formed all the stars, planets, and life we see today. Even at the quantum level, particles exist in multiple possibilities, and one outcome becomes real when measured — this is called quantum collapse. Together, these scientifically proven effects explain how the universe tilted, giving direction to galaxies, allowing stars to burn, molecules to have “handedness,” and life to grow. Symmetry alone is stillness, like calm water; breaking symmetry is motion, like a river flowing. Creation began with this first tilt, the subtle imbalance that turned potential into reality, stillness into movement, and possibility into the living, evolving universe we see today. Yet at the deepest level, why nature has these rules — why left differs from right, or matter slightly outweighs antimatter — remains one of the greatest mysteries of existence. The same mystery extends to the body as well: why Ida differs from Pingala, or why the upward surge of energy outweighs the downward flow, remains one of the greatest mysteries of existence. Philosophically, it may be regarded as the growth-oriented wish of the Almighty Supreme.

If we dissect it further, in the universe, symmetry is subtle and sometimes broken. Parity (P) violation shows that nature is not perfectly left-right symmetric — the weak force “prefers” one handedness. Charge (C) violation reveals that swapping particles with their antiparticles (means replacing particles with their antiparticles or in other words charged particle made oppositely charged antiparticle) does not always produce identical behavior and weak nuclear force does not affect them equally. CP violation goes deeper: even after combining a mirror flip with a particle-antiparticle swap means after directional swap and trying to correct it with charge swap, a tiny asymmetry still remains. While P and C can be violated independently, Parity violation (P) was already known in the weak force — it treats left and right differently. When scientists combined parity violation with charge conjugation (C), which swaps particles with antiparticles, they expected the two violations to cancel out. But experiments showed that even this combined symmetry (CP) is slightly violated — meaning a small imbalance still remains. In other words, CP violation means that an imbalance — arising from the combined effects of charge violation and parity violation — still remains, although it is reduced after attempting to correct the parity violation through particle swapping. This tiny leftover asymmetry is crucial, as it helps explain why matter dominates over antimatter in the universe, showing that the cosmos itself carries an inherent, subtle bias at the most fundamental level. In yogic terms, If the asymmetry between the upward and downward prana is balanced by shifting the flow between Ida and Pingala, a subtle imbalance still remains — and this residual asymmetry gives rise to thoughts.

In yoga and the human body, symmetry too is subtle and often incomplete. The two sides of the body — ida and pingala, lunar and solar currents — represent the left-right (P) aspect of our internal energy field. Perfect balance between them creates stillness; imbalance generates movement and evolution. The charge (C) aspect parallels the polarity of emotion and intention — attraction and aversion, desire and renunciation — our human version of positive and negative charge. Yoga gradually harmonizes these forces, yet even after deep purification, a faint residue of imbalance often remains — the yogic equivalent of CP violation. This subtle leftover tendency — neither purely active nor passive, neither fully detached nor fully engaged — becomes the creative bias that sustains individual existence, just as cosmic CP violation sustains matter itself. Without that faint asymmetry, neither the universe nor the yogi would manifest as a living, evolving expression. Hence, the aim is not to erase all imbalance, but to realize its sacred role — the gentle imperfection that allows consciousness to experience itself as creation.

In another analogy, In the beginning, both the universe and a perfectly still mind were in flawless balance—no left or right, no real or virtual, just pure symmetry. Yet, tiny biases—like subtle impulses in meditation or CP violation in particles—created small differences. Normally, perfect balance would erase them, but a slight openness lets them persist, seeding growth: in the cosmos, it became stars and galaxies; in the mind, it becomes evolving awareness. From the subtlest imperfection, the greatest creations arise.

Think of a pot of water. If the pot is perfectly still, the water stays still. Tilt it just a little, and the water flows. That’s what happened with the universe — it leaned slightly, and the flow of galaxies, stars, and life began.

In Indian philosophy, this is like Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is stillness, perfect balance. Shakti is movement, the first tilt, the first action that starts creation. Without Shakti, the universe would remain frozen and silent.

Even at the tiniest level, in the world of quantum particles, things can exist in many possibilities at once. When a particle is measured or interacts with something, one possibility becomes real — this is called quantum collapse. By itself, quantum collapse doesn’t create the universe’s tilt, but it shows how possibilities become reality. The real tilt comes from nature’s small preferences — like the slight favoring of matter over antimatter.

In the human field of consciousness, countless thoughts, emotions, and intentions also exist in superposition — potential realities waiting to be chosen. The moment awareness focuses on one thought or emotion, that possibility collapses into experience — just like a quantum event manifesting from probability. Meditation trains this awareness to become a silent observer, reducing unnecessary collapses caused by mental restlessness. Yet, even in deep stillness, the mind retains its subtle bias — its own version of nature’s tilt — a gentle preference shaped by tendencies (vasanas) and latent impressions (samskaras). The subtle bias within consciousness sustains individuality, propelling life’s continuity from moment to moment. Yoga doesn’t erase this bias but purifies it until the remaining preference aligns with truth itself. Then, consciousness begins to choose effortlessly — not from ego, but as pure intelligence expressing harmony. What once was mental decision becomes spontaneous movement, free of tension or motive. Every action, word, or thought arises as if the universe itself is flowing through the individual. This is quantum darshan — the direct seeing where observer and observed merge, and infinite potentials collapse into form by the silent will of Truth. Life then unfolds naturally, every moment luminous, precise, and whole — not chosen by someone, but happening through the still radiance of awareness itself.

Because of these tiny tilts, the universe works the way it does:

  • Galaxies spin in certain directions. This is reflection of directional preference of quantum world.
  • Stars burn matter, not antimatter. This is like life shines with ascending energy in spine.
  • Life uses molecules with a preferred “hand” (left-handed or right-handed). Amino acids of proteins, the main building blocks of body have left handed twists.
  • Time moves forward, never backward. On paper or equation, it can move backward but in reality, time always moves forward.

Without these tiny imbalances, nothing would grow, nothing would change, nothing would exist. Symmetry is like calm, still water. Asymmetry is like a river flowing toward the sea. Symmetry is silence; asymmetry is life itself.

Everything we see — from the tiniest particle to the largest galaxy — began with a tiny tilt, the first small imbalance that made the universe start moving, growing, and creating.

Similarly, within the human being, perfect balance is pure stillness — samadhi, where all dualities dissolve into calm symmetry. Yet life as we know it arises from tiny tilts within that stillness — the pull of desire, the urge to breathe, the impulse to move, to love, to seek. Just as the cosmos began from a minute asymmetry, the human journey unfolds from the faint imbalance between rest and expression, awareness and activity, Shiva and Shakti. Too much symmetry and one dissolves into stillness; too much asymmetry and one is lost in turbulence. Yoga is the art of keeping this sacred tilt alive — not erasing it, but refining it until it flows in harmony with the universal rhythm. In that subtle dance between silence and movement, the yogi mirrors the cosmos: still at the center, yet ever-creating at the edge.

Chapter 18: The Polarity of Creation – How Quantum Charge Weaves the Web of Attraction and Repulsion

If spin is like the dance step of particles and momentum is their direction of travel, then charge is their invisible magnet, deciding who hugs, who runs away, and who stands apart.

It is one of the most magical qualities of quantum particles because it sets the stage for the push and pull of the universe. Without charge, everything would simply sit in one bland soup. With charge, sparks fly, patterns form, and structures are born.

Charge: The Invisible Tug-of-War

Every fundamental particle comes with its charge already written into its identity.

  • Electrons always carry a negative charge.
  • Protons always carry a positive charge.
  • Neutrons carry no charge and act as mediators.

This is not something they decide later, nor is it chosen during wave collapse. It is an inborn property, as fixed as your fingerprint. The moment a particle comes into existence, its charge is already determined.

And this little detail is what decides the destiny of matter.

  • Negative electrons are forever pulled toward positive protons.
  • Protons seek electrons to balance themselves.
  • Neutrons stand in between, stabilizing the fragile harmony of the atomic world.

These rules are simple, yet when repeated trillions upon trillions of times, they give rise to chemistry, biology, and even thought. Your heartbeat, for example, is nothing but a grand orchestra of ions—charged particles—rushing in and out of cells in rhythmic waves.

Attraction Builds, Repulsion Shapes

Creation is not only about joining things together—it is also about keeping them apart in balance.

Think about the architecture of a house: bricks hold together by mortar, but spaces are left open for doors and windows. Without gaps, there would be no air, no light, no movement. Similarly, in the cosmic design, attraction builds molecules and stars, while repulsion prevents them from collapsing into a meaningless lump.

When electrons (negative) dance around nuclei (positive), they do not crash into each other. Instead, their mutual repulsion and attraction create a delicate balance of orbits. This balance later gave birth to the periodic table of elements, the grammar of all matter.

With just this push and pull, the universe writes its story.

The Cosmic Magnetism of Design

Picture the first moments after the Big Bang. Particles were buzzing like tiny fireflies in a stormy night sky. They did not need to “decide” their charge—it was already built-in.

Electrons carried negativity, protons carried positivity, neutrons stayed neutral. And out of this fixed polarity, a grand web of relationships emerged:

  • Electrons found protons → atoms were born.
  • Atoms joined → molecules appeared.
  • Molecules combined → chemistry awakened.
  • Chemistry blossomed → biology emerged.
  • Out of biology came thought, culture, poetry, and the very question: “How did all this begin?”

All this because polarity was written into the very fabric of particles.

Creation as a Game of Loves and Distances

If spin is the rhythm and momentum is the direction, then charge is the love and dislike of the universe.

It decides not only who pairs with whom but also who must keep their distance. Without it, everything would collapse into a single, undifferentiated lump of energy. With it, the universe blossoms into complexity.

Think of magnets scattered on a table. Some snap together with a click, some stubbornly refuse to touch, and some lie unaffected. Watch long enough, and they arrange into little clusters and chains.

Now stretch this imagination to the cosmic stage—the same principle plays out at unimaginable scales.

The Subtle Spiritual Mirror

In Indian Darshana, charge and polarity echo in the eternal dance of Shiva and Shakti, Purusha and Prakriti, masculine and feminine.

It is the cosmic principle that says: without the pull of opposites, nothing stirs. And without the balance of repulsion, nothing lasts.

The universe itself is woven from this dance of duality—union and separation, attraction and balance.

Quantum Collapse – The Director, Not the Creator of Charge

If charge is inborn, what then is the role of quantum collapse?

Collapse does not assign charge—it simply decides where and how a charged particle shows up in space-time. The electron is always negative, but collapse decides whether it appears here or there, inside this atom or that one.

In this way, collapse is like the director of the play, while charge is the personality of the actors. The script is written, but collapse chooses which stage to light up at each moment.

Without collapse, all charges would remain as shadows of probability. With collapse, they take concrete form, shaping stars, rivers, flowers, and even the thoughts dancing in your mind as you read this line.

To clarify further, every object in nature carries a silent signature called charge. Unlike spin or position, which may remain hidden in superposition until observed, charge is not undecided—a particle is born positive, negative, or neutral. Yet the way these charges interact—the attraction, repulsion, or balance—first exists as a cloud of superposed possibilities, collapsing into one outcome only when interaction takes place. This superposed possibility does not concern the form of the charge, but rather its location — whether it will be near an opposite charge for attraction or near a like charge for repulsion. Human thought offers a parallel: our likes and dislikes are embedded in our nature, but how we finally respond—whether with connection, avoidance, or neutrality—remains suspended in the field of thought until a decision collapses it into action. The form of liking, like quantum charge, will not change — only the way it is placed or handled, whether positively or negatively. Moreover, Man can keep away from an attractive thing, and similarly a quantum particle can collapse to a position away from an opposite charge. Therefore, even in the presence of opposite charges, attraction may not occur—showing that collapse provides the final decision. In this way, Sharirvigyan Darshan mirrors quantum reality: polarity is the inner law, collapse the outer choice of interaction. At the quantum level, a positive charge naturally seeks a negative, while negatives repel each other, not as personal decisions but as eternal laws of nature. Yet the exact form of their meeting—the orbit, the bond, the release of energy—remains in superposition until collapse selects one reality. This dual dance of polarity and collapse builds the architecture of existence, just as the human mind holds both affection and aversion but must choose one at each moment, giving rise to the ongoing play of life and cosmos.

Thus, polarity is not just a scientific detail—it is the very heartbeat of diversity. Every attraction and every repulsion, from the bonding of hydrogen and oxygen into water to the neurons firing in love or anger, owes its existence to this fixed, inborn quality of charge.

From Quantum Charges to Conscious Waves

Just as quantum charges weave a web of attraction and repulsion at the microscopic level, human consciousness and social interactions operate according to remarkably similar principles. The subtle energies within us — our pranic waves, the oscillations of thought, and the flow of awareness — mirror the quantum fields. In this section, we extend the analogy from physical charges to the waves of consciousness that guide greetings, choices, and interactions, showing how coherence, decoherence, and probability manifest in everyday life.

Coherence and Decoherence in Social Interaction

Consider Smith entering a group where he is welcomed with warmth and sympathy. Surrounded by acceptance, he feels no need to select a specific form of greeting. Instead, he smiles or nods, embracing everyone in his heart through that simple gesture. In this state, Smith exists in a superposition of greetings: his smile carries within it the essence of all possible salutations without collapsing into any one of them. However good greeting words are socially more accepted than countless mental options. The best way is to use an appropriate greeting outwardly, while inwardly holding countless positive greetings in superposition within the mind — along with a gentle smile.

When Smith enters a group that feels attuned to him, it is like a particle in the double-slit experiment left unobserved: his inner wave holds many greeting possibilities in superposition, resonating with itself, and the outcome can spread into a rich interference of options. A high amplitude of Namaste can be overlapped by a low amplitude of Good afternoon, creating a combined amplitude higher than either of them individually. If the group carries only a mild expectation, it resembles a particle observed at one slit: the superposition collapses into a single path, yet the wave nature remains, producing a broad diffraction pattern—Smith still has time and space to choose among several fitting greetings. But if the group immediately sees him as a stranger or outsider, the collapse happens at once, like a quantum particle generated and spotted instantly and strongly without traveling as a wave of possibility; no spread or exploration is allowed, and he is forced into a hurried, often unfit greeting. In the same way, society shapes human potential: where love, harmony, and sympathy prevail, people remain coherent, with freedom to explore widely like a full wave of possibilities; where only mild expectations exist, their freedom is narrowed but not lost; and where rejection or alienation dominates, their options collapse before they even begin, leaving them confined to hurried and limited choices. Where Smith’s inner wavefront aligns with the collective energy of the group, that is a state of coherenc. His expression is unbounded, free, and fully resonant with the surrounding field. However, as soon as the group begins to expect a definite word, gesture, or confirmation, this anticipation acts like a measurement in quantum physics. Just as a particle’s superposition collapses upon observation, Smith’s openness is now constrained into a particular outcome. He must choose one greeting — “Namaste,” “Good Afternoon,” or another.

While being in coherence with the group members, the amplitude of the energy wave is reinforced constructively, and the prana rises in the spine as high as possible, resulting in a greater probability of selecting an advanced form of greeting. Even a single greeting-character contains different sub-characters, each with its own independent probability distribution along the spinal wave. For example, expressions like “Namo Namah” or “Shat Shat Naman” have higher probability in the upper-chakra zone, while “Good Afternoon” is more likely in the mid-chakra zone, and simple expressions like “Hello” or “Hi” are more probable in the lower-chakra zone. Thus, when the energy wave peaks in the upper chakras, refined and reverential greetings such as “Namo Namah” naturally arise. When the amplitude centers around the mid-chakras, formal greetings like “Good Afternoon” are more probable. And when the amplitude peaks only in the lower chakras, casual greetings such as “Hello” or “Hi” appear, often without much enthusiasm. Actually, these expressions are simply placement-based names given to the single greeting-character. When the greeting arises in the Sahasrāra zone, it is expressed as “Namo Namah.” When it arises in the mid-chakra zone, it takes the form of “Good Afternoon,” while in the lower-chakra zone it appears as “Hello” or “Hi.” The greeting is only an example to illustrate the parallel between quantum probability and mental probability.

In quantum mechanics, energy and probability are distinct: a particle’s energy is tied to the wavelength or frequency of its wave, while probability is tied to the amplitude of its wavefunction. Yet in the pranic analogy, these two aspects converge into one. As the pranic wave swings with greater amplitude through the chakras, it not only carries more energy but also increases the probability of higher expressions manifesting. In lived experience, this is why when prāṇa surges upward, one feels both heightened vitality and a stronger tendency to express elevated greetings or actions — such as Namo Namah instead of a casual Hi. Thus, while physics separates energy and probability, in the pranic field amplitude embodies both at once, blending intensity and likelihood into a single force of expression.

When meeting a best friend in a truly heartfelt way, no words are needed — only joy, a smile, and simple, casual talk flow naturally. There’s no need for formal or honouring words like aap; instead, spontaneous words like tu arise effortlessly. It feels as if all positive emotions rush together toward the friend, and trying to confine them into a specific, polished gesture or phrase feels limiting — it breaks the charm. In the same way, showing particular formal greetings or forced emotions toward close family members feels unnecessary and even a bit artificial. Some children are especially sensitive to this — they sense the disturbance when love is expressed in rigid, social ways. They respond best to an atmosphere of natural love, care, and harmony, without expectations of formal gestures. Yet, when among outsiders, they naturally follow social norms as needed.

This pattern mirrors quantum mechanics, where a particle’s wavefunction spreads its probability across multiple energy states. Just as higher-energy states carry greater amplitude and thus greater likelihood of expression when the system is energized, the upper chakras resonate with more refined greetings when pranic energy rises to their level. Mid-level amplitudes correspond to more ordinary states of expression, while lower amplitudes give rise to simple, minimal outcomes. In both cases—whether quantum states or human greetings—the probability of expression depends on where the wave peaks, with energy amplitude guiding the most likely manifestation. However, frequency or energy of pranic wave can be higher or lower at any amplitude or chakra height. On its peak being at Swadhishthan Chakra, it can be rapidly or slowly oscillating between Muladhar and Swadhishthan. If rapidly oscillating, energy will be higher, and the expression on Swadhishthan will be highly probable with stronger intensity; but if slowly oscillating, probability will be still higher, though intensity of expression will be low.

Through its cascade of interactions, the quantum essence unfolds into multiplicity, shaping particles, matter, life, and ultimately the networks of human society. In every system, from the tiniest particle to the human body and beyond, the same principle applies: potential exists in coherence, yet interaction brings specificity. In this light, consider Smith in a group—when the environment is open and accepting, his gestures reflect the full spectrum of possibility. Suppose in that moment, Smith enters decoherence. The infinite field of possibilities reduces to a single, observable expression shaped by the environment. Human interactions mirror the dance of quantum particles: when harmony and resonance prevail, we live in the openness of superposition, embodying many possibilities at once; when external expectations arise, our potential collapses into defined roles and responses. Just as the quantum essence organizes particles into order, so too do our lives unfold between coherence and collapse, freedom and necessity—a ceaseless play of unity expressing itself in multiplicity.

Quantum Darshan in Everyday Greetings

As we were exploring the psychology of greetings through the lens of quantum principles, we see that even simple salutations unfold from a field of infinite possibilities. When we say “Good Afternoon,” “Namaste,” “Ram Ram Ji,” or “Radhe Radhe, hello, hi or simply welcoming smile with gesture” it may appear as if we consciously choose the words. In reality, beneath the surface exists a spectrum of potential greetings, each carrying its own likelihood, of course zero or minimal likelihood for unwelcoming or unsocial words, much like a quantum particle in superposition. These possibilities resonate along the inner spectrum of energy, from heart to head, awaiting expression.

Some expressions naturally rise to the forefront. A heartfelt “Shat Shat Naman” flows effortlessly, while “Koti Koti Naman” may appear slightly less frequently. Other greetings emerge occasionally, and offensive expressions remain absent, their probability effectively zero. this is because they often lies on darkness of muladhara that has zero wave amplitude thus having zero probability.

This unfolding is not guided by deliberate choice. Just as a quantum particle collapses into a definite state upon interacting with its environment, the social and energetic field around us channels the greeting into a single expression. What we call “I” choosing is, in truth, the dance of possibilities responding to context. Even in these small gestures, we participate in the universal play — a microcosm of the same coherence and decoherence that flows from the primordial quantum essence to the vast networks of life, matter, and consciousness.

The ego, or the sense of “I,” is ultimately an illusion; humans do not truly act as independent agents. Just as a quantum particle has no self and collapses into a specific outcome according to the influence of external interactions, human actions and responses arise according to external stimuli, internal conditioning, and momentary context. The feeling of “I am doing this” is therefore false and constructed, not the ultimate truth. Yet the experience of ego naturally arises, and sensing it is not wrong. It can be used temporarily as a practical tool to navigate worldly life — for decision-making, responsibility, and action — but it should never be mistaken for the final reality. Awareness of this allows one to live effectively in the world while recognizing that the ego is provisional and not the true self. It also doesn’t mean abstaining from work. Ego cannot be neutralised in the absence of action. There is no benefit in suppressing the ego through inaction; the real benefit lies in neutralising the ego that arises during action. Moreover, One might misunderstand it as acting foolishly — no, no, a big no. It simply means acting with perfect norms, yet without ego.

In reality, all other living characters, expressions, and human interactions follow the same thumb rule — their form of expression depends on the energetic placement within the human system, just as quantum outcomes depend on the probability distribution of the wavefunction.

Character Waves and Chakra Energy

As we touched this earlier, human behavior can be understood as character wave, the oscillations of pranic energy across the body’s chakras. We cannot even call it a character wave, but simply a wave, because all characters lie upon this single pranic wave, just as all the qualities of a quantum particle remain on a single quantum wave without disturbing one another. When prana swings from Mulādhāra (root) to Sahasrāra (crown), the amplitude is maximal. Such full-body waves generate peak joy and awareness, making corresponding actions highly probable.

Consider a greeting again. If Smith’s inner prana tends to rise fully to Sahasrāra while contemplating or simply thinking of expressing “Namaste or even better form like namaskar,” causing awareness and joy to touch peak, then this greeting is most likely to be expressed. If he is in a low-energy or depressed state, the pranic oscillation may reach only the navel chakra, then he will be bypassing higher-amplitude options and favoring a lower-energy greeting, like “Good Afternoon.” This means that in this case while thinking about ‘Namaste’ and other greeting options, he may inwardly dismiss them and instead choose the lower-energy option of saying ‘Good Afternoon.’

In this framework, the wavefront of character is the pranic oscillation, and options that generate maximal swings, joy, or resonance and even more stability and balance are naturally favored. This phenomenon can be explained in terms of resonance or constructive interference. Every greeting word carries its own vibrational signature or frequency. When a person chooses a greeting word that aligns with the current vibrational frequency of their chakra, the two waves — the individual’s chakra frequency and the word’s vibrational frequency — resonate. This resonance creates constructive interference, which amplifies the combined vibration and elevates the awareness at that chakra to a higher state. If the oscillation reaches up to Sahasrāra as top possible amplitude of the character-wave, then outward expression from Sahasrāra is the most probable. This effect is best achieved when the chosen greeting word’s vibrational frequency aligns with the frequency of the Sahasrara Chakra. In such a case, the resonance between the two produces a highly coherent and powerful wavefront. The resulting constructive interference amplifies the energy to a level comparable to, or harmonized with, the Sahasrara’s own subtle vibration — leading to an experience of heightened awareness and unity. Expressions from lower chakras can also arise; this is the play of probability, much like quantum probability. A person most often selects expressions that resonate with his highest active energy level, as these reflect his inner worth to the world. Words carrying such high-frequency vibrations include “Namaste,” “Namaskar,” “Namo Namah,” and “Shat Shat Naman.” At times, however, one may overlook the higher energy and express from a lower chakra, feeling slightly out of tune—as if something within is being concealed from society. Lower-amplitude expressions occur less frequently and depend on mood, context, and coherence with surrounding energy fields. In a low mood or while interacting with people of lesser or decohered energy, one may naturally adopt a low-energy expression; yet the probability of this remains low, since such choices demand conscious effort. By contrast, expressions that harmonize with one’s prevailing energy level arise spontaneously and effortlessly. Thus, the amplitude of pranic energy mirrors quantum probability—the greater the amplitude, the higher the likelihood of an action or expression manifesting.

In quantum mechanics too, when a particle ends up in a low-probability state, the reason is usually linked to its interaction with other particles or the environment. Strong, resonant interactions tend to channel the particle into its most probable states, much like a person naturally expressing from his highest energy level. However, external disturbances, weak couplings, or unfamiliar contexts can nudge the particle into less likely outcomes. This is similar to how a person, when in a bad mood or among unsympathetic people, may deliberately adopt a lower-amplitude expression. In both cases, the system does not act in isolation—the surrounding conditions shape whether the natural, high-amplitude expression unfolds or whether a rarer, lower-probability path is taken.

If someone’s energy is rising from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra and he accompanies a person whose energy is falling from Sahasrāra to Mūlādhāra, it is like the crest of a wave meeting the trough, where energies neutralize or cancel each other and grounding occurs, making the probability of life expressions almost zero so that he becomes neither this way nor that but neutral. When two rising energies meet, resonance happens and both rise further, which is the effect of good company, while two falling energies meeting create an even deeper trough than normal. Actually, it is like a basic line further sinking deep, not amplitude growing in the trough, as happens in tantric union. Unlike quantum mechanics, where crest and trough amplitudes are symmetrical and there is no positive or negative amplitude, in the human body the base chakra can be seen as the zero line, for there the probability of lively expressions is zero, a state of ignorance-filled darkness with no minus amplitude below it. In Tantric union, however, the partner completes the wave below the baseline, making the wave full, so that both amplitude peaks enhance each other and the energetic expression of characters is doubled.

If we take the Mulādhāra as the baseline of the wave, then the male spine rising toward Sahasrāra can be seen as the crest of positive amplitude. His tantric consort, by contrast, embodies the complementary trough of negative amplitude, extending her energy below the baseline and reaching her own Sahasrāra as the opposite crest. When united, the two together complete the full span of the wave, doubling the amplitude of living expression. This mirrors the tantric truth that Śiva and Śakti are not separate but two poles of the same oscillation, their union giving rise to the fullness of life and consciousness. A clear quantum counterpart exists here: just as a wave requires both crest and trough to exist, and just as two wavefunctions can merge in superposition or entanglement to form a richer and more powerful reality, so too does the union of the tantric pair generate constructive resonance. In this way, pranic union mirrors quantum interference, where two halves converge into a single, luminous wholeness.

Dhyana, Shabd Brahm, and Quantum Consciousness

Meditation on Shabd Brahm, the primordial sound, manifests the same quantum-like principles. Sound, as an atomic or quantum essence, awakens awareness and reveals the nondual Brahman. When the mind engages with Shabd Brahm, the sound reveals our complete identity, expressing the nonduality between the self and quantum particles — for sound itself is the movement of those particles, reflecting the unity of consciousness and matter.

Just as a quantum particle exists in pure potential until observed, the essence of a human being is also a wave of possibility. The pranic energy oscillating from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra mirrors the amplitude of a quantum particle’s wave. When the full wave spans all chakras and oscillating at maximum speed, it represents maximal probability distribution of living potential, energy and awareness, while different points along the oscillation correspond to specific chakras. Outer forms, identities, and ego are only transient coverings — beneath them lies a common wave-like essence, reminding us that separation is superficial. In this sense, a quantum particle is, in essence, the entire human body expressed in its most fundamental form.

Law, Karma, and Human Responsibility

Some argue that inhumanity is excusable because circumstances compel action. But it is not true. While natural phenomena — floods, storms, quantum particles — are fully egoless and unbound by karma-phala, so their apparent inhuman karmas are excusable, humans remain subject to moral consequences. Actions within humanity can be understood in context, as both humans and quantum particles are egoless by nature and compelled by circumstances to perform karmas and thoughts — yet inhumanity breaks this natural harmony and slows spiritual progress. This is because a human can never become fully egoless while working; it is a fixed rule. Nature operates with impersonal law, but humans carry karma and responsibility, ensuring that choices aligned with dharma are bound by ethical consequence.

Pranic Wave Collapse and Experiential Settlement

As we were discussing, the settlement of experience depends not only on the amplitude of the pranic wave but also on the type and strength of interaction. Just as a quantum wavefunction appears to collapse through interaction with a measuring device or its environment, pranic waves converge into an experiential center according to the context of life. Other interactions also influence this convergence, and the manner of collapse or decoherence varies depending on the nature and strength of these interactions. While the peak amplitude of energy may reach Sahasrāra, an emotional impact—such as fear, attachment, or joy—can cause the wave to collapse most often at Anāhata (heart), because the nature of the interaction biases the collapse toward that chakra. However, if Sahasrāra is active, the experience is not confined to Anāhata alone; it can be simultaneously felt at both Sahasrāra and Anāhata, reflecting the full span of the wave. In other words, the peak of pranic energy at Sahasrāra amplifies awareness of the emotion, while the heart provides its experiential “seat.” Similarly, in quantum mechanics, a particle may have maximal amplitude in one state, yet upon measurement it can collapse into another state if the measurement operator couples preferentially to it, while residual amplitudes in other states can continue to influence the system what comes next. The peak amplitude indicates maximal potential, but the locus of settlement is determined by the type and strength of coupling with the environment. In both realms, randomness arises naturally from the complexity and coupling of the system: minor deviations and less probable outcomes remain possible, while the peak of probability guides the most likely expression. Thus, human experience, like quantum behavior, unfolds in a structured yet non-deterministic manner, where potential, interaction, and overlapping amplitudes together shape the final expression.

  • Divine or transcendental interactions: Collapse at Sahasrāra, manifesting as peak illumination.
  • Fear or survival situations: Collapse at Anāhata, generating heart-centered fight-or-flight responses.
  • Oral or expressive interactions: Collapse at Viśuddhi, producing speech.
  • Intellectual interactions: Collapse at Ājñā, revealing thought and insight.
  • Digestive or sustenance-related interactions: Collapse at Maṇipūra.
  • Sexual interactions: Collapse at Svādhiṣṭhāna.
  • Inertia or ignorance: Collapse at Mulādhāra, the unconscious base.

Even as collapse occurs at lower centers, Sahasrāra remains the site of highest probability if energy-wave amplitude is peaking at it, just as quantum mechanics allows multiple outcomes but favors certain states under strong coupling. The chakra system is a living probability distribution, with the crown chakra as its luminous attractor.

The wave analogy is complete:

  • In quantum mechanics, the particle’s wavefunction oscillates, forming crests and troughs, with every point contributing to probability.
  • In yoga, the pranic wave spans the chakras; the highest expressions are visible, yet the lower chakras silently support every experience.
  • The crown chakra reveals consciousness’s brilliance, while Mulādhāra provides foundational support — unseen, but indispensable.

Unified Field of Potential

Human consciousness, social interactions, and the quantum realm share a common principle: a unified field of potential that unfolds through probability. Coherence allows freedom and superposition; decoherence collapses possibilities into expression. Pranic waves, chakra energy, and quantum wavefunctions are parallel manifestations of this field.

In every greeting, thought, or action, the universe orchestrates its spontaneous play. Understanding this principle allows us to navigate life with clarity, awareness, and resonance, harmonizing our inner waves with the cosmic field. This same underlying intelligence is reflected in the natural world, where every form and pattern reveals a subtle orchestration beyond mere chance.

Nature looks beautiful because there seems to be hidden intelligence in it. If we observe every aspect deeply, a grand intelligent design emerges: why is the mountain on this side, why this height, why this type of soil, why does the water channel flow this way? Does this not prove that nature, guided by quantum particles, works tirelessly in the growth of humanity, remaining engaged in the interactive world and learning from challenges just like a moral human being?

The Quantum Essence and the Probabilistic Dance of Life

The dual forces of attraction and repulsion govern the very fabric of the universe, orchestrating the dance of matter and energy. From the alignment of atoms in a crystal to the balance of social interactions, polarity creates order while allowing diversity to emerge. Within this field of polarity, a single primordial quantum essence holds the potential for everything that unfolds in creation. In the earliest moments of the universe, this unified field—the undivided source—underwent a cascade of transformations, giving rise to the multitude of quantum fields we now recognize: electrons, photons, quarks, and more. Each field is an expression of that original essence, just as every particle is a ripple or excitation within it. Through countless interactions and recombinations, these fields produced the fundamental particles that eventually built the complex structures of matter, life, and consciousness.

In the physical, inanimate world, quantum interactions exist everywhere, but they are relatively sparse and simple. Particles follow probabilistic laws, yet the complexity of their interactions remains limited by physical constraints. It is in the biological world that quantum principles expand to remarkable complexity. Life harnesses these interactions, amplifying them through networks of molecules, cells, and organs, producing behaviors and structures that mirror the subtle dynamics of human social interactions. The probabilistic flexibility of quantum processes, when embedded in living systems, reaches its peak—coordinating cooperation, communication, learning, and adaptation in ways that reflect the rich interplay of society itself.

In this sense, the organization of the human body mirrors human social structures as described in the modern Sharirvigyan darshan. Cells specialize like individuals, organs cooperate like communities, and the entire organism functions as a harmonious society. Just as the quantum essence gives rise to particles that interact and form networks under the polarity of forces, so does nature orchestrate the emergence of life and social systems. The human body, like the universe, is a living network of interactions, bound by underlying rules yet expressing flexible outcomes.

Even when a quantum particle appears still—bound in a rock or floating in vacuum—it is not inert. Its stability is rooted in the fixed laws of physics, yet its behavior remains probabilistic, shifting with interactions, environment, and circumstances. Rigidity at the law level coexists with adaptive, responsive behavior at the level of manifestation. In this way, the particle is dynamically poised, ready to respond to the world, much like a yogi in nirvikalpa samādhi: outwardly still and absorbed, yet fully capable of action when the conditions arise.

Scriptural stories, such as Brahmā producing the Prajāpatis who then filled the world with progeny, can be seen as allegories of this very process. The single quantum essence, like Brahmā, unfolds into multiplicity, cascading into ever-diverse forms, yet remaining rooted in the undivided source. In every interaction, from the smallest particle to the largest organism, the intelligence of this quantum essence guides organization, growth, and learning—revealing the hidden design and harmony of nature.

Humans, too, operate under fixed laws or disciplines: to act within the boundaries of humanity, to work as if worshipping, to learn from mistakes, and to cooperate with society. Yet within these boundaries, human actions are probabilistic and flexible, shaped by circumstances, environment, and internal disposition. While the framework is fixed, the specific choices cannot be predetermined, much like a quantum particle governed by immutable laws but expressing outcomes probabilistically.

As we discussed earlier, nature appears beautiful because there seems to be a hidden intelligence within it. When we observe every aspect deeply—the position of a mountain, its height, the type of soil, or the course of a river—a grand intelligent design emerges. Does this not suggest that nature, guided by quantum particles, works tirelessly for the growth of humanity, remaining engaged in the interactive world and learning from its challenges? Even in stillness, it is poised, dynamic, and full of potential, reminding us that creation itself is a living, learning, and evolving quantum play.

Thus, the polarity of attraction and repulsion, combined with the probabilistic flexibility of the quantum essence, underlies not only the physical universe but the moral, social, and conscious worlds as well. Every action, every interaction, every oscillation of energy is guided by these intertwined principles—fixed in law, yet fluid in expression—a cosmic dance of order and freedom.

My Inner Dussehra

✨🙏 Happy Dussehra 🙏✨
May this day remind us that just as Lord Rama conquered Ravana, we too can conquer the Ravanas within—ego, doubt, and restlessness—and let them merge into the light of awareness. Wishing you and your family joy, strength, and the victory of truth over all that holds us back. 🌸🔥🌿

Today, on Dussehra, I woke up early around 4 am and sat for dhyāna. The breath was fast, the mind restless, but I chose not to interfere. I just allowed it to flow and kept watching like a witness. After some time, when the sitting felt uneventful, I stood up for water and herbal tea. Once refreshed, I sat again but still no stability came. Then I turned to cleansing practices—jal neti and gajkarni. The water that had slipped into the throat, I drew back up through the nose to clear it. A few sneezes followed, and then with kapalbhati and anulom vilom I dried the remaining water passages. Gentle neck tilts and shoulder rotations released the stiffness.

After this preparation, I again sat for meditation. This time, the mind settled quickly. Breathlessness deepened and I found myself resting in pure awareness, like Narayana in the vast ocean of ekarnava. For half an hour, there was a depth filled with bliss. Later, when family called me to get ready for a visit to the city, I moved from that deepness back into a witnessing state. Breath became minimal, almost absent, while thoughts arose and merged one by one into pure awareness—just like Ravana’s heads burning and dissolving into Rama’s light.

It felt as if my Dussehra had been celebrated inwardly before the outer festival. The inner Ravana—restless thoughts and subtle ego—was burned and offered into the inner Rama—pure awareness and bliss. Standing up, I felt fresh and ready for worldly duties, yet carried within the fragrance of this inner victory.

Festivals hold meanings much deeper than rituals and celebrations. When seen inwardly, they become reminders of our own inner journey, of the battles we fight silently, and of the joy of transformation that blesses not only us but also those around us.
