Chapter 34: matsara in quantum world

Mātsarya (jealousy or envy) is the sixth primal vibration. If Mada gives birth to individuality—“I am special”—then Mātsarya arises when that individuality begins to compare itself with others and feels disturbed—“Why is someone else special?” In a cosmic sense, Mātsarya appears when awareness forgets its own uniqueness and starts measuring itself against another. In the language of wave physics, this is like two waves that could move in harmony but instead clash because of a difference in phase. Rather than strengthening each other, they interfere and weaken the overall pattern. Similarly, jealousy does not create growth; it distorts perception and reduces inner energy by turning natural diversity into unhealthy comparison.

MĀTSARYA (JEALOUSY / ENVY) — The Quantum Interference of Comparison

Quantum interference

Quantum interference offers a clear metaphor for Mātsarya (jealousy). In physics, when two waves overlap, they may strengthen each other if they are in harmony, or weaken each other if they are out of phase. In human life, jealousy arises when the ego stops moving in its own natural rhythm and begins comparing itself with others. This comparison creates inner conflict, just as destructive interference reduces the strength of a wave. Instead of allowing one’s energy to flow creatively, jealousy wastes it in resistance and rivalry. True harmony returns when a person aligns with their own nature and purpose, rather than competing with another’s path.

The Pauli Exclusion Principle

The Pauli Exclusion Principle offers a helpful metaphor for Mātsarya: even in quantum physics, no two electrons can occupy the same state at the same time. Each has its own place, and this natural rule preserves order and balance. In human life, jealousy similarly arises when one resents another for occupying a perceived throne—whether a position, role, or quality—that one desires. Nature, however, never repeats a state exactly; every being has a unique configuration, a distinct “quantum address.” Even if we accept that a form of healthy jealousy exists, the analogy still holds. Healthy jealousy does not forget its true nature; it does not collapse into obsession but transforms into healthy competition. Such competition may not grant an inaccessible position, yet it can still lead to growth—just as aiming for a star may at least take one to the moon. In the quantum realm, electrons may strive for the same state but always fail; yet this very striving does not destroy them, because they are not limited to a single state and never lose their wave nature. Maybe that hard effort toward a particular state makes them more capable of growing better in other diverse fields. If they were addicted to a state, they would collapse and perish—but they do not. In contrast, a human who forgets the Self may become so enamored with a position that consciousness collapses, leading to suffering or even destructive actions. Jealousy arises only when awareness forgets its inherent fullness and tries to become what it already is not meant to be.

laser light

The principle behind stimulated emission and laser light gives a powerful metaphor for Mātsarya. In physics, light becomes intense and focused only when many photons move together in the same phase; when they are out of phase, their energies cancel and the light weakens. In human life, cooperation and mutual appreciation allow individual talents to combine into collective brilliance. Jealousy, however, disrupts this inner alignment, scattering energy and reducing shared potential. Just as a laser is born from coherence, true harmony in society arises when awareness moves from envy to compassion and synchronization.

Quantum Tunneling (Barrier of Insecurity)

Quantum tunneling offers a subtle metaphor for Mātsarya. In physics, a particle can cross a barrier that appears impossible to overcome, not by force, but through probability and resonance. In human experience, envy creates inner barriers such as the belief, “I can never be that.” These barriers feel solid, yet they are largely imagined. When awareness recognizes that all expressions arise from the same universal field, these limits lose their rigidity. Jealousy then dissolves, not through rivalry or struggle, but through inner alignment and resonance that allow consciousness to pass effortlessly beyond insecurity. In other words, one may feel joy in another’s high status if the minds of both become attuned. This is like becoming enthroned without physically occupying the throne, or like crossing a wall without actually crossing it—similar to quantum tunneling.

In another sense, each quantum particle is inherently connected with the endless cosmos through quantum entanglement and related phenomena. So when an inferiority feeling arises—such as I am not far enough spread, not present in all lands of the Earth, not in space, and jealousy originates toward people living in faraway places—one can instead observe the quantum particles stationed everywhere around oneself. Though localized, they are still connected to everywhere and remain fully satisfied, thereby not experiencing jealousy of others.

In the same way, we too are both connected to and separated from faraway places at the same time. One dimension of the mind says that we are physically separated, while another dimension says that if we are experiencing those faraway places by becoming them ourselves, then how are they different from us? Giving more weight to the former dimension makes us jealous, whereas giving more weight to the latter dimension makes us cosmic and non-jealous, because who would feel jealousy toward oneself?

In this connected sense, if even one quantum particle mimics my entire life journey through endless cycles of births since the beginning, then every particle is mimicking me and is my exact photocopy, because all quantum particles are connected together through quantum entanglement. This scientifically proves quantum darshan. Actually, it does not perform any miracle. It produces and maintains a baseline non-duality, from where it becomes easier to launch higher meditation.

There is no need to deeply observe every object to see quantum particles within it. These particles are so minute that they are everywhere—even with closed eyes or in deep sleep.

A veterinarian’s dilemma

Being a veterinarian, I have to deal with different types of animals and cases. Recently, there was a cow whose jaw had been blasted away by an explosive substance kept in potatoes in fields meant for pigs. The case was untreatable. The owner requested euthanasia—meaning mercy killing by injection—so I had to perform it. Although the cow was still able to stand and breathe properly, I advised the owner to let the cow be down completely before euthanasia. However, he was aggrieved and tense due to the situation. Probably, the cow still had a strong will to live remaining.

That night, I saw an emotionless soul—dark, strange, and horrific type like a blackhole—accompanied by the faint image of a horned demon going deep inside a dark prison and attracting me, as if I was to meet it. It was humanoid, with deep eyes sunken into a dark absence. This was actually an outer form given by my mind to its soul form. Suddenly, my sleep broke. For a few days, dogs barked at me; stray cows and calves stared at me fearfully, and even my street pet dog looked at me strangely. Animals can sense hidden subtle emotions.

This soul was different from the human soul of a nearby acquaintance experienced by me, which was full of emotions and knowingness, although still in a dark form, as I have detailed earlier. But this soul was unknown, as one cannot easily connect deeply with animals, since they do not appear to show strong emotions. Yet they have their own individual identification and instinctive or rudimentry emotions, with their own varying sanskaras or hidden imprints on mind. They have only the saṁskāras of breathing, eating, and surviving—nothing beyond that, nothing truly knowledgeable. One more strange thing I noticed is that the soul form and the body form of an animal do not look very different. This may be because there is not much heavy expression in the animal’s body form, and therefore the soul form also does not appear strongly non-expressive means it is lacking sanskaras. In contrast, in human beings there is a sharp difference between the body form and the soul form. Since expression in the human body form is very high, the non-expression imprinted on soul as sanskaras in the soul form is also correspondingly high. That is why emphasis is placed on purifying saṁskāras only in human beings, and not in animals.

That soul was not restless, so it was less aggrieved and less compressed, unlike the previous human soul. This was because it did not have strong emotional urges. I could not communicate with the animal’s soul, as animals naturally cannot speak. It appeared dull in nature. I could experience its soul form more than its body form. This was because I could connect directly with the soul—of course, only momentarily—but there was no means to connect through the body, as it was speechless and, moreover, hesitant to interact long enough for me to perceive or infer its inner form.

The purpose of pointing this out is that I myself had become that animal soul for a moment while experiencing it, because nothing can be known without first becoming that thing oneself. I was fearing myself. Just as jealousy toward one’s own form is ignorance, similarly fear or unknowingness toward one’s own form is also ignorance. Actually, every emotion is ignorance. What emotion can one have toward oneself? It is better to say that every emotion of a human being belongs to oneself rather than saying absence of emotions. Running away from emotions is not healthy; rather, they should be felt in a truthful way. If emotions are absent or extremely weak, then what truly remains in a human that is more than an animal? Emotions are signs of life and instruments of growth—materially when they are experienced in their raw form, and both materially and spiritually when they are experienced properly, along with the awareness of non-duality.

Decoherence by Observation (Loss of Unity through Comparison)

Decoherence through observation provides a deep metaphor for Mātsarya. In quantum physics, observation breaks a state of superposition, collapsing many possible outcomes into a single, fixed result. In human life, constant comparison acts in the same way: it reduces vast inner potential to a narrow self-image such as “I am less.” How can the infinite feeling of Self remain together with the ‘I am less’ feeling at the same time? Through jealousy, awareness measures itself again and again, losing the sense of inner unity and openness. Liberation begins when this measuring stops, allowing consciousness to return to its natural state of wholeness, where many possibilities can exist without conflict or comparison. However, comparing ourselves with others is not wrong; the problem begins only when comparison breaks inner unity and openness. One can compare while remaining rooted in non-duality, just as the mind can observe without collapsing into identification. In quantum physics, strong measurement disturbs the wave nature, but subtle measurement allows knowing without collapse. Similarly, the mind has a non-duality trick: it can measure and compare without losing wholeness. When awareness remains a witness, comparison becomes functional, not divisive, and inner unity stays intact.

The same approach was present in my own life. Our school, mainly a senior secondary school, had a very healthy environment with a strong spirit of healthy competition, girls and boys cooperating with each other and not shying away from one another. The teachers were broad-minded, and when we saw other students learning new things, we did not feel jealousy toward them. Instead, we learned from them happily and in a friendly manner. Jealousy toward anyone essentially means not trying to learn from that person. It reflects an inner demand that the other should not rise above oneself, that he should either remain equal or be lowered. This indicates an unwillingness to compete, to take inspiration, or to grow. In this sense, jealousy stands in direct opposition to healthy competition. Our teachers inspired us by giving examples of great individuals and great nations in such a way that, instead of jealousy, inspiration naturally arose. Much depends on the manner of communication—whether it is received positively or negatively—and the spiritual, non-dual nature of the teachers likely played a significant role in shaping this attitude. Jealousy arises when one fears collapsing into another’s point of view, but when non-duality is maintained, one can temporarily collapse into another’s mindset without losing one’s infinite nature. This is well illustrated by quantum darshan, where quantum particles, even after collapse, do not lose their wave nature. In simple words, quantum particles are maintaining their wave nature too along with particle nature. This is called as Brahma remains lively liberated or jeevanmukta always. My home environment was also spiritual, and therefore I never became rigidly collapsed, even while observing, imitating, or learning from various successful people.

Why Self-Realisation Dissolves Jealousy and Transcends Worldly Success

Once in my life, I was in a fully self-realised state, or very close to it. During that time, people of my own status, and even those lower than me, were seen achieving far greater worldly success than I was. Yet I was not shaken at all. From my viewpoint, all those achievements appeared petty in comparison to self-realisation, although for them their physical achievements defined their status and spiritual things were petty for them. Their viewpoint was rooted in worldly matters, which is temporary, because matter itself is temporary. My viewpoint, however, was grounded in non-duality, which is the true and permanent essence of nature. In the end, such a viewpoint naturally wins.

Materialistic people do not become jealous of spirituality because they consider material nature superior to spiritual pursuit. This is a matter of perspective. If spirituality itself is weak, doubtful, or unsatisfying, then it can become jealous of material success, because it is not fulfilled within itself. Therefore, spirituality must be strong, effective, and practical in order to override jealousy completely. I have observed that whenever peace in my daily life begins to diminish, a subtle sense of jealousy can arise. Thus, maintaining a fully healthy and balanced lifestyle becomes the most effective way to combat jealousy. Money does not matter much here, it is the art of living that matters most.

Summary

This summary shows how Mātsarya (jealousy) appears whenever awareness forgets its own completeness and begins to compare itself with others. How can one who is fully self-realised be jealous of petty worldly things that are already lower than him? Self-realisation is also not something that, once attained, remains forever; it needs to be maintained through regular meditation. In essence, regular meditation is the key to everything. Like wave interference, comparison weakens inner energy instead of strengthening it. Like the Pauli exclusion principle, jealousy arises from the mistaken belief that only one person can occupy a valued place. The laser principle reminds us that harmony and cooperation amplify collective brilliance, while envy scatters it. Quantum tunneling reveals that insecurity is only an apparent barrier, which dissolves when awareness recognizes its shared source. Finally, decoherence through observation shows how constant self-measurement collapses vast inner potential into a limited self-image. Together, these metaphors point to one truth: jealousy fades when comparison ends and consciousness returns to its natural state of unity.

Thus Mātsarya is not mere social emotion; it’s the quantum disharmony born when the One forgets its own completeness and tries to measure itself through others’ oscillations.
It is the seed of competition, but also the path to coherence, if awareness learns resonance instead of rivalry.

Philosophical synthesis

In the grand pattern of cosmic emotions, each primal vibration serves a specific function in the unfolding of existence. Kāma initiates creation through attraction, Krodha corrects imbalance through explosive force, and Lobha preserves form by drawing energy inward. Moha bends perception, creating concealment and illusion, Mada gives rise to individuality and a sense of self. Mātsarya, however, marks a turning point where individuality slips into division. It represents a conflict of inner phases, where awareness begins to compare itself with another and experiences separation. Governed by Avidyā (ignorance), Mātsarya does not create or preserve; it divides, fragmenting unity into rivalry. Its resolution lies not in suppression, but in the recognition that all apparent differences arise within one undivided field of consciousness.

Transmutation of Martsya

The transmutation of Mātsarya shows how jealousy evolves as awareness matures. In its ignorant form, Mātsarya expresses itself as constant comparison and resentment, fragmenting inner peace and dividing one from others. When awareness grows, the same energy becomes aware Mātsarya, where one recognizes personal uniqueness without devaluing another’s path; comparison gives way to acceptance. In its enlightened form, Mātsarya fully dissolves into resonance, where individuality no longer competes but harmonizes with all beings. What once appeared as jealousy is transformed into collective harmony, allowing shared illumination rather than separation.

I first experienced jealousy toward others. Over time, as my self-awakening deepened, a sense of inner fulfillment arose within me. What began as jealousy—forcing me to prove my worth—gradually transformed into personal growth. In this way, jealousy was transmuted into self-development and a more shared, inclusive sense of existence.

The sixfold cosmic–quantum map presents the classical inner movements of consciousness as energetic and quantum correspondences. Kāma expresses itself as attraction, mirroring bonding or coupling at the quantum level, and when transcended, it reveals love and creative force. Krodha manifests as repulsion, comparable to charge repulsion, and when purified, becomes power and inner clarity. Lobha appears as an inward pull, analogous to gravitational accretion, and in its refined state supports nurturance and sustenance. Moha introduces curvature in awareness, reflected in wave–particle duality, which upon transcendence unfolds as playful, lucid awareness. Mada brings rotation into the field, symbolized by quantum spin and symmetry breaking, giving rise to a sense of divine identity. Mātsarya emerges as phase conflict, comparable to wave interference, and when fully integrated, resolves into resonant harmony, interference turning from destructive form to constructive one.

Chapter 33: mada in quantum world

Mada is the fifth primal vibration, arising when the natural sense of “I” becomes overly assertive and intoxicated with its own importance. Ahaṅkāra simply gives the feeling of existence — “I exist” — and Kartṛtva allows action by saying, “I act.” But when these healthy functions are misunderstood as personal greatness or absolute control, they turn into Mada. Mada is the state where the self forgets its limits and begins to feel, “I alone matter,” mistaking participation in action for superiority over all else.
Just as Kāma gives the desire to connect, Krodha gives the force to fight for what we feel is right, Lobha makes us want to keep things, and Moha clouds our understanding, Mada is the ego that tries to take ownership of all these actions. It is the inner voice that says, “This is mine. I did this. I deserve this.

In simple scientific terms, Mada is like the moment when a nearly uniform field develops an exaggerated imbalance. A small, functional asymmetry gives rise to direction, spin, and orientation, but when this imbalance becomes dominant, it defines everything around it as “up” and “down.” In the same way, ego (ahaṅkāra) gives the mind a personal point of view, allowing experience and action. Mada arises when this point of view becomes intoxicated with importance. Before ego, everything feels one and equal; after ego, there is “me” and “others.” When ego hardens into Mada, this difference turns into superiority, ownership, and blind self-assertion.

Quantum Spin Orientation

Growth requires the ability to move freely between “higher” and “lower” modes as situations demand. Even a person of higher understanding must sometimes act simply or humbly, just as a particle with spin must be able to flip when interaction requires it. A spin stuck permanently in the “up” state cannot respond properly in situations that demand a “down” orientation. In the same way, remaining fixed in pride blocks learning and growth. Letting go of this rigidity—coming down when needed—is the dissolution of Mada, and it is essential for maturity. Yet there are moments when an “up” mode is required for leadership or action. Expressing this without inner intoxication is a skill: outward firmness with inward awareness. Quantum particles adopt the spin state required for interaction without emotional attachment or superiority. Likewise, a mature mind can act with authority when needed while remaining inwardly balanced, flexible, and free from pride.

Symmetry Breaking

In physics, the universe began in a state of perfect symmetry where everything was equal and undivided. When this symmetry broke, different forces and particles emerged, giving rise to complexity. In the same way, the pure Self begins without boundaries, but eventually experiences a divide between “me” and “others.” This is the start of Mada, the feeling of being a distinct individual. At its healthy level, it is the natural joy of becoming unique — a playful expression of the divine. But when one forgets the original unity behind this individuality, pride turns into separation, and the ego loses its balance.

In the quantum world, some particles have greater influence and stronger interactions, while others play smaller roles. Each particle carries a different strength, and this natural difference in qualities contains the seed of pride at the level of individuality. Yet particles do not become intoxicated by their importance. Whether acting in a major or minor role, they remain balanced because they never lose their connection to the undivided whole, existing simultaneously as waves within a single field. Pride arises only when this unity is forgotten. For human beings, maintaining both individuality and unity at the same time is more difficult. However, through moments of relaxation and inner reflection, one can repeatedly return to the awareness of nonduality. Contemplative approaches such as quantum darshan help the mind remember this deeper unity, allowing action in the world without losing inner balance. Just as the entire creation, made up of quantum particles, can exhibit both particle and wave nature at the same time, similarly a human being can live in both dual and non-dual awareness together through their contemplation.

Quantum Measurement (Observer Effect)

In quantum physics, a system exists as many possibilities until an observation brings one possibility into experience. This is often described as the observer effect, where a wave of potential appears as a definite particle. It is as if the wave is asked, “Who are you?” and the reply comes, “I am this particular form.” The human ego behaves in a similar way. Through constant interaction with the world, the mind feels compelled to answer, “I am the one who acts, decides, and creates outcomes.” This repeated identification becomes the root of pride. Pride shows itself outwardly in action, but Mada forms inwardly in the mind as the belief of personal authorship, and this is more harmful. The deeper truth is that consciousness is only the witness, not the personal doer. Just as the wave remains as unchanged field while particles appear and interact within it, awareness allows experiences to arise without itself acting. Pride arises when this witnessing power is mistakenly claimed by the mind, as if the wave were to say, “I have become the separate particle and done all this.” In reality, the wave never becomes the particle; the particle only appears within the wave as a temporary expression, not as a true transformation. The wave itself remains unchanged. In the same way, the pure Self never becomes the mind or its experiences. Thoughts, actions, and identities merely appear in awareness like waves, even though they seem real and separate from awareness through illusion. Awareness itself does not claim these appearances as its own truth. Just as a wave does not claim to be the particle itself, the true Self does not identify with the mind. Confusion and pride (mada) arise only when the observing awareness forgets this distinction and begins to identify with its own instruments—thoughts, roles, achievements, and personality. The real question, then, is this: if the wave does not take ownership of the particle’s actions, why does the human Self take ownership of the mind’s movements?

Higgs Field and Mass Acquisition

In physics, particles gain mass when they interact with the Higgs field, which acts like a gentle cosmic resistance. This interaction slows them down and makes them feel like a “somebody” with weight and presence. Something similar happens in the human mind. As the ego repeatedly says, “This is mine,” or “I am important,” it gathers heaviness in the form of titles, achievements, roles, and possessions. This heaviness is Mada — consciousness taking on mass. In spiritual terms, enlightenment is the moment when this drag loosens, the ego-lightens, and the mind becomes free to move with the effortless speed and clarity of pure awareness again.

The heaviness carried by titles, responsibility, or authority is not given freely; it is earned by struggling with problems. Problems act like a dense field through which one must pass. In physics, the Higgs field gives particles mass, making them heavier, slower-moving, and more capable of meaningful interaction. In a similar way, the field of challenges and knowledge gives weight to the human mind. Those who create or manage these challenges—teachers, bosses, or gurus—are like Higgs bosons emerging from this heavy field of knowlege, experience and art. By imparting knowledge, discipline, and direction, they add weight to the mind, making it steadier, slower in reaction, and more grounded in action. Such a mind moves carefully rather than impulsively, becoming more practical, interactive, and result-oriented. This is not weakness but maturity. Just as heavier particles interact more strongly, a seasoned mind engages life more effectively. This is why the old saying holds true: slow and steady wins the race.

There is no doubt that inner “heaviness” or stature can give rise to Mada, but this does not mean that knowledgeable or high-level people should avoid interaction with those who are lighter, less educated, or socially lower placed. Without interaction, mutual growth is impossible. In the quantum world, heavy particles such as electrons interact freely and abundantly with light particles like photons. Photons, being fast and mobile, give motion and energy to electrons, while electrons provide structure and stability in return. Neither can create or sustain the world alone. In the same way, people of higher understanding receive movement, support, and practical assistance from those at lower levels, while offering guidance, stability, and meaningful company in return. If high-status individuals isolate themselves out of superiority-based Mada, or if so called lower-level individuals withdraw due to inferiority-based Mada, interaction breaks down and society cannot function. Quantum particles preserve their identity, yet they do not refuse interaction; their Mada is balanced and controlled. Humans, too, must learn this balance—maintaining individuality without isolation. Through the contemplation of quantum darshan, Mada can be kept in check, allowing cooperation, humility, and harmony while preserving one’s unique role in the larger whole.

Singularity at the Center of a Black Hole

In physics, a black hole has a point at its center called the singularity, where density becomes infinite and all directions, distances, and perspectives collapse into a single point. Something similar happens in the human mind when ego becomes extreme. Everything is pulled into the center of “I, me, and mine,” creating a kind of spiritual singularity where no other viewpoint can exist. But when awareness cuts through this false center, the ego collapses, and the deeper truth emerges: Aham Brahmāsmi — “I am That.” The small, personal “I” dissolves, and the original, boundless Self becomes visible again.

A star symbolizes a simple and creative form of ahaṁkāra (ego). It increases its mass by gathering matter and energy, yet it does not forget the importance of others beyond itself. Whatever it collects, it uses meaningfully: it shines, radiates light like knowledge, and distributes energy outward. In doing so, it manufactures a wide variety of elements that later become resources for planets, enabling them to form, stabilize, and eventually support life. Thus, a star grows while simultaneously nourishing the universe. A black hole, in contrast, represents blind ego or mada. It recognizes only its own importance and denies the value of everything else. It keeps grabbing endlessly, absorbing matter and energy without transforming them into anything useful for the world. This behavior has a clear human parallel. Many people behave like stars—creating, sharing, beautifying, and contributing—and therefore shine meaningfully for a long time. But a few behave like black holes, endlessly accumulating wealth, land, and resources while giving nothing back to society. Vast plots remain unused with only bushes growing, no flowers, no gardens, no beauty to soothe the eyes. Buildings are raised only for display, heaps of bricks and sand piled up merely to show possession, while such people proudly claim they are generating employment in cement, sand, and brick industries. What they fail to see is how much future employment and life itself will be destroyed when the planet becomes unlivable due to pollution, carbon emissions, and environmental collapse. Large companies and corporations often behave in the same way: the harm caused by their pollutants, packaging waste, and emissions far exceeds the benefit of the material products they sell. This is like a black hole determined to erase signs of life around it. Today is a time when development must be fully sustainable and planet-friendly.

Practical nonduality

Only a few aware individuals live in practical nonduality, where every particle is treated as equal to oneself, and life is lived with full awareness and responsibility toward the planet. At today’s critical stage, theoretical nonduality alone is not sufficient. While it may deepen spirituality for an individual practitioner, it cannot ensure nonduality for future generations. If life itself does not survive on Earth, then nonduality has no ground to manifest upon. Therefore, nonduality must move from theory to lived, ecological, and collective responsibility.

I heard of a student from a yoga or philosophy-oriented university at New Delhi whose nondual awareness was so mature that he used to be often seen  speaking with everything as a friend—his comb, mirror, oil, soap, clothes, wall, doors, air, water, space, darkness, and light. This was not fantasy but an extreme form of lived nonduality. Such awareness does not arise from mathematical formulas or formal quantum physics education, yet it stands at a level even higher than them. Still, it is perfectly aligned with quantum truth. Scriptures have already declared that just as the mind is a wave arising on pure awareness, the external world is also a wave on the same pure awareness. The only difference is that mental waves are subtle and short-lived, while external waves are more frozen, denser, and longer-lasting—though they too dissolve one day. This is simple basic thinking based on experience, there’s nothing any science or quantum mechanics in it. If this is so, then nothing is truly separate, and everything is equal in essence. Everything can reflect and “communicate” with everything else because all are expressions of the same awareness. The same quantum particles that form the human body—where countless complex interactions occur every moment—exist everywhere in the cosmos. These interactions are often even much more advanced and intricate than visible human behavior as shown in the sharirvigyan darshan. This means that, along with contemplation of Quantum Darshan, there should also be a small, supportive contemplation of Sharir Vigyan Darshan to make it more effective. These lively interactions are very basic nature of the quantum world. This means that every quantum particle carries the full potential of life and consciousness or simply saying every particle expresses full human life. Therefore, seeing oneself in every particle is not merely poetic or philosophical; it is logically, scientifically, and spiritually consistent. True nonduality is not just a concept—it is the recognition and living of this universal wave-nature in everyday life. The intelligence that appears in large cosmic structures is naturally present within every quantum particle. Through this unique Quantum Darshan, we reveal the science behind ages long spiritual experience that all attributes of life are already inherent in each and every quantum particle. Through consistent development, quantum particles evolve to human being full of all emotions because they themselves have all those emotions.

Even modern scientists are speculating that quantum particles are nothing but space itself warped into spherical shapes. Ancient seers had already speculated this long ago on the basis of their direct experience. Just as they intuited the wave nature of the world, they also observed that, in pure awareness, the world appears much like the visual artifacts seen in the sky when one lies on the back with eyes partially closed, where the eyebrows create bubble-like patterns in the sky. In the same way, the world manifests in the sky of pure consciousness as bubbles or virtual artifacts appearing within awareness itself. Waves in the ocean mean that every wave and the ocean are the same and united; separation is only an illusion. Similarly, seeing the world as waves in pure consciousness means that everything in the world is nothing other than pure self-awareness itself. Perceiving anything other than the Self is merely an illusion.

Summary

This chapter uses ideas from quantum physics to explain Mada, the force of ego or pride. In nature, every system develops a center from which it relates to the rest of the world. A reference point is created to measure the entire outer world relative to it. Without a reference point, nothing can be measured. If there were no Earth as a reference point, how could we measure gravity, direction, or orientation? In the same way, Mada functions as a reference point that helps in measuring the world around it. However, by giving excessive importance to itself, it constantly tries to assert and grab more, often by downgrading or discouraging others—and this becomes harmful. Similarly, ego creates an inner center that defines identity and says, “I am this.” When symmetry breaks in the universe, distinct forms arise; in the same way, ego is born when the Self begins to experience separation from others. In quantum measurement, one possibility becomes fixed out of many, and ego mirrors this process by believing, “I am the doer; I make things happen.” As particles gain mass through interaction with the Higgs field, ego gains weight through roles, titles, possessions, and a sense of importance. In its extreme form, ego resembles a black hole, where everything collapses into “me,” leaving no space for other perspectives or shared reality. Seeing these parallels helps us understand how pride forms, how it strengthens over time, and how it can ultimately dissolve into deeper awareness.

Thus, Mada is the ego-force that defines individuality within the infinite field, but in a distorted form. While ego can be constructive and necessary for identity and function, Mada goes further by seeing itself as superior to others, and therefore turns negative in its effect.
Without ego there is no experience, but when ego hardens into Mada and grows excessive, it becomes bondage.

Philosophical Synthesis

In the larger cosmic design, each emotion represents a specific movement of energy and plays a unique role in creation. Kāma moves outward and gives rise to creation, reflecting the creative power of Brahma. Krodha explodes outward and clears what must be removed, echoing the destructive force of Rudra. Lobha pulls energy inward to preserve and protect, aligning with the sustaining nature of Vishnu. Moha bends and curves perception, hiding truth through the veiling power of Mahāmāyā. Mada, however, is rotational — it turns energy around the axis of the self, forming identity and self-assertion. This is the domain of Īśvara or Ahaṁkara-Shakti, the principle that gives every being its sense of “I.” Through these five movements, the universe expresses its creativity, balance, concealment, and individuality, weaving together the entire drama of existence.

Transmutation of Mada

Mada, or ego, evolves through different stages as awareness grows. In its ignorant form, it appears as arrogance and a sense of superiority, which only creates separation and inner loneliness. When a person becomes more conscious, Mada softens into aware ego, expressed as healthy confidence and a clear sense of individuality. This stage supports growth rather than blocking it. At the highest level, Mada transforms completely into enlightened identity, where the small personal “I” is replaced by the recognition of the universal Self — the state of Aham Brahmāsmi, “I am That.” Here, ego is not destroyed but expanded, merging seamlessly with the cosmic identity.

Quantum-Spiritual Quintet Summary

These five emotions can be understood as five different movements of energy within both the human mind and the cosmos. Kāma pulls energy together like the attraction between electrons and protons, and in its pure form becomes love and creation. Krodha pushes energy outward like repelling electrons, giving rise to strength and focused will when purified. Lobha gathers and holds energy, much like gravity gathering matter, and becomes care and preservation at its highest level. Moha bends and distorts perception, similar to the strange dual nature of waves and particles, yet in its refined form it reveals the playful movement of Māyā and deep awareness behind it. Mada turns energy around a center, just as spin and symmetry breaking define individuality in physics; when transformed, it becomes divine self-recognition — the sense of the universal Self shining through the individual. Together, these five form a complete map of human emotion and cosmic process.

Chapter 32: moha in quantum world

Moha — The Fog of Perception

Moha is the most subtle of the basic emotions. It does not pull us toward something like desire, does not push us away like anger, and does not make us cling to possessions like greed. Instead, Moha quietly bends our way of seeing. It covers the mind like a thin fog, not strong enough to scare or excite us, but enough to blur reality. This is the ordinary life of most people. They believe they are completely normal, but actually they are illusioned in a way that is imperceptible to them even to the majority of people observing them. They see everything as separate, including their own soul, and they assume this separation is real.

In their practical life, such people often appear more capable than those who are not illusioned. Because they experience everything as distinct, they develop stronger fight-or-flight responses, faster reflexes, and a quicker reaction to every stimulus. They can “ride” every situation according to their needs more efficiently. In fact, in the practical world, the illusioned may look non-illusioned, and the non-illusioned may appear confused.

A balanced approach, therefore, is to remain illusioned temporarily for effective worldly living, and to become non-illusioned during breaks from work and during relaxation, using practical non-dual philosophies like Sharirvigyan Darshan or Quantum Darshan. I used Sharirvigyan Darshan, because at that time Quantum Darshan had not yet been developed. It gave me a double benefit: it allowed me to live and act in the world efficiently and honorably, while also giving full mental relaxation—like liberation while still living.

After long practice, when the “air of fate” changed, I entered a more stable and naturally relaxed state. My non-illusionary contemplation reached its peak, and with the added support of Tantric Kundalini Yoga, I received a glimpse of awakening—like a cool breeze touching a feverish being.

Just as ordinary people feel separate from everything and therefore develop quick reactions, sharper reflexes, and practical efficiency, quantum particles also show a similar two-sided nature. In quantum physics, an electron behaves like a unified wave when it is not being observed, spread out without any clear boundary—calm, continuous, and inseparable from the space around it. This resembles a person resting in non-dual awareness, relaxed and undivided, where nothing is separate enough to be acted upon. But when the electron is observed, the wave collapses into a distinct particle at a definite location, just as a person mentally collapses into a separate “self” while dealing with the world. In this contracted state, the electron becomes useful for doing work in circuits and technologies, and the human being, seeing everything as separate, becomes efficient in action and problem-solving. Thus, both the mind and matter show the same principle: unity gives peace, and separation gives practical effectiveness. Life becomes an art when one learns to shift between these states—expansive like a wave when resting within consciousness, and focused like a particle when engaging with the world.

It is the very nature of moha (delusion) that makes one see the opposite of reality. Under its influence, the false appears true—just as living and acting as a separate self seems real to the world, even though separation does not exist. Likewise, living and acting from a non-dual understanding appears false to most people, while in fact it is the only real state. In the same way, the particle-like, dual expression of matter is treated as true in quantum science because it helps us perform the activities of the physical world, whereas the wave-like, unified state is dismissed as unreal simply because it does not react or participate in the world’s drama as strongly as particles do. If the quantum world itself were capable of thought, it might hold the same mistaken preference. It would admire its particle form as the “real” one simply because it can interact, collide, produce effects, and take part in the drama of physics, while it would overlook its own wave nature as vague, silent, and useless—never realizing that the wave is actually its true, fundamental state, and the particle is only a temporary appearance created for action. So too, a soul darkened by worldly impressions seems true, attractive, and trustworthy to the majority, and people embrace it gladly. But the clean soul of a yogi—cleansed of impressions and free from worldly conditioning—appears false, threatening, or even frightening to them. Such is the strange illusionary power of moha, which keeps beings bound to the world and prevents them from seeing liberation. The one who cuts through this invisible wall of illusion with the invisible sword of non-dual contemplation is the true courageous being.

Under Moha we start looking at life in pieces, unaware that every piece belongs to a larger whole. It is like watching the vast sea through a narrow window, and then believing that the small view is the entire ocean. In physics, there is a similar effect when space bends light, or when uncertainty hides the position of a particle, or when two particles stay connected even when far apart. When space bends light due to gravity (as predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity), distant stars and galaxies appear shifted or magnified, so we never see them where they truly are. When quantum uncertainty hides the position of a particle, it is because a particle does not actually exist at one fixed point until we measure it, and our measurement forces it to look like a sharply separate object. And when two particles stay connected even when far apart (quantum entanglement), they continue to behave as one system, showing that separation is only an appearance created by distance, not a fundamental reality. Moha creates this same kind of twist in awareness, where separation feels real and the underlying unity remains hidden.

MOHA (DELUSION) — The Quantum Veil of Perception and Maya

Wave–Particle Duality (Moha and Perception)

In quantum physics, light and matter can appear both as waves and as particles, and what we see depends entirely on how we choose to observe them. In the same way, under Moha (delusion), we look at life through a narrow lens and mistake that limited view for the whole truth. We cling to a small fragment and call it reality, just as a particle appears separate only because its deeper wave nature is hidden from our sight. Moha begins when the observer becomes attached to what it sees and forgets that it is only a witness. This is the subtle play of Māyā, where visible forms distract us from the vast, formless reality that lies behind them. On seeing the collapsed world with attachment, he himself gets collapsed from his true nature. While witnessing, the world keeps him neutral, and he can maintain his wholeness without collapsing. With a little additional help from non-dual Darshanas, this witnessing becomes stable, allowing him to live in the world without being swallowed by it.

The Human Uncertainty Principle: When Science Unlocks the Secret Identity of the Soul

Just as there is an uncertainty principle in quantum science, there is an uncertainty-like principle in human behaviour as well. Just as we cannot know the exact position and momentum of a quantum particle at the same time, we also cannot perceive the worldly nature and the spiritual nature of a human being together. The moment we focus on someone’s worldly achievements, their non-dual contemplation disappears from our attention. Deep within, we rarely trust their inner spiritual insight; at best, we nod outwardly in polite agreement. And when we start seeing a person’s spiritual nature, their worldly milestones fade from our awareness or are easily dismissed. This happens because both natures appear to contradict each other. Yet, just as quantum particles seem to adopt a mysterious trick, keeping their wave-nature intact even while working as particles through their inherent non-dual unity, a human being too can live in the world efficiently while still preserving an inner state of non-dual awareness.

A clear example of this is my own life. After my recent awakening, when I went to the university, I was completely calm and content with my work, achievements, and gains. Most others around me were the opposite—constantly craving, constantly wanting to grow and acquire more. It was not that I had rejected these things; I simply had no cravings. I followed the university guidelines and culture steadily and with detachment. But they looked at me as if I had come from some unknown planet of an unknown galaxy—far beyond Mars or any visible universe. Few ones even suspected the genuineness of my earlier studies or thought my certificates might be fake. Some assumed that I was not growing along the officers’ path but along the path of ordinary employees, because they expected intense worldliness in a future officer. Some were even willing to verify them, simply because they saw a sage-like simplicity in me. What should have brought positive recognition turned into the opposite. Although it was not very obvious outwardly, I had developed a certain mind-reading sensitivity because of the inner cleansing that came with awakening.

Another example is my recent deep dhyana during the Bhagavatam sessions—three hours daily for seven days, completely spontaneous. I became the centre of curiosity. I was normal, relaxed, and fully aware of worldly life alongside the meditative life, but with an inherent spiritual attitude. They, on the other hand, were confused, disturbed, agitated, unsatisfied, and unstable—constantly craving this or that. Regarding me, their eyes sometimes turned white, indifferent, with a strange, ghost-like gaze, almost scared, as if a monkey had entered a human assembly. This is the power of moha: it makes the sky appear like the earth, and the earth appear like the sky. I mention all this only as experiential illustration, not as criticism of anyone. I am writing what I personally felt deep inside; others may not have felt it the same way. Someones were admiring or even looking like revering me, but that too was an illusion. A person is admired only when he has achieved something special—not when he remains in his simple, ordinary state. I had settled into my own basic form, having achieved nothing and even letting go of the small accomplishments I once had. In truth, it was those people who deserved admiration, because each of them had achieved something meaningful—some had property, some had a family, some had rank, and some had honour. Yet what was happening was completely the opposite. The truly admirable ones were admiring someone who was not admirable at all. This is the funniest nature of moha. People who had achieved so many things were calling a man who had achieved nothing as someone who had achieved something great, while they considered themselves as if they had achieved nothing at all. Ordinary looks special, and the special looks ordinary. A truly mind-bending confusion.

Just as one cannot be seen as both a sage and a materialist at the same time, similarly one cannot act in both ways simultaneously. When someone is in the sage-mode, he naturally steps out of the worldly mode, and vice versa. But through Karma Yoga and Quantum Darshan, it becomes possible to express both — to see both natures together and to act with both natures together. Just as the quantum world carries the paradox of being both a wave and a particle, with the right understanding both states can be ‘measured’ or expressed at once. Perhaps science has not yet reached this subtle insight or any physical trick. That is why the Uncertainty Principle appears as a cornerstone in physical science, but not in the science of the mind.

Moha is also described by many as blind love, and that is true, because blind love or attachment produces moha, although blind love is cause while moha or illusion is the effect. It is blind love for the body and the world that creates this illusion. It can be prevented through non-dual darshanas and the right attitude. When Lord Vishnu took the form of a beautiful woman to take the nectar from the demons, the demons became attached to her form. Under the influence of moha, her deceptive words appeared right to them, while the correct advice of their own guru appeared wrong. This story perfectly illustrates the power of moha: it destroys decision power, makes one support the side of the dearly-loved—even when it is wrong—and prevents one from supporting the side of those disliked or opposed—even when that side is completely right.

Quantum Superposition (Schrödinger’s Cat)

In quantum physics, a system can remain in many possible states at the same time until it is observed. It is neither this nor that, yet it holds every possibility within it. In the same way, the mind in Moha (delusion) keeps floating between opposites — love and fear, gain and loss, right and wrong — without recognizing the unity beneath them. This state of confusion is like consciousness stuck in its own choices, unable to settle into what is real. Moha becomes the uncertainty of awareness itself, where truth is present but never allowed to fully emerge.

Quantum Entanglement and the Illusion of Separateness

In quantum science, two particles can remain connected even when they are far apart, responding to each other instantly in ways that ordinary logic cannot explain. In human life, Moha (delusion) creates a similar misunderstanding. It makes us believe that each person is a separate being, moving alone in the world, while in truth we stay linked through a deeper field of consciousness. Just as entangled particles appear many but share one hidden state, life too is a single reality expressing itself through countless forms. Moha covers this unity with the appearance of multiplicity, while entanglement quietly reveals that the “many” is only a reflection of the “one.”

From Delusion to Illusion: The Shift Brought by Quantum Darshan

Delusion is a deep-seated illusion that does not go away easily. Quantum darshan can help greatly in dissolving it. Although quantum darshan does not remove illusion completely, it uproots the deep delusion and brings it down to the level of a temporary illusion. Delusion is the state in which, even when a person is resting or away from worldly interactions, the false perception continues to grip the mind. But when it is reduced to the level of illusion, the person may still experience wrong perceptions during active worldly engagement, yet the moment they relax or become still, the illusion evaporates and a natural bliss arises. This change does not happen on its own; it happens through nondual philosophies like quantum darshan, which is simple, effortless, and purely mental in its approach, requiring no rituals or formalities. Other religious practices also help, but without such inner effort, illusion keeps deepening and eventually hardens into a permanent delusion that becomes difficult to dissolve within a single lifetime. Making illusion drop to zero even during worldly interactions is the next step, which happens through advanced yoga practices that are instinctively initiated once the simple nondual vision matures over time.

Gravitational Lensing and the Curvature of Perception

In the physical universe, very massive objects such as black holes can bend the path of light, making distant objects appear distorted or misplaced. This phenomenon is called gravitational lensing. Something similar happens within us. When egoic attachment becomes heavy and dense, it bends the light of awareness, causing truth to look twisted or incomplete. Moha (delusion) works like the gravity of ego, pulling perception out of its natural clarity and creating mirages where reality should be. Enlightenment is nothing dramatic — it is simply the moment when awareness travels straight again, without being curved by attachment.

Quantum Decoherence and the Collapse of Inner Clarity

In quantum physics, a system can hold many possibilities at once, but when it interacts too much with its surroundings, it loses this pure state and settles into one visible form. This process is called decoherence. Something similar happens to human awareness. When consciousness becomes overly involved with the noise of the world, it begins to collapse into narrow identities: “I am this body,” “this position,” “this fear,” or “this desire.” Moha (delusion) is simply this loss of inner coherence, where awareness gets tangled in matter and thought until it forgets its deeper nature. What was once wide and open becomes limited, like a wave forced to behave as a single particle.

Summary — Moha Through the Lens of Quantum Physics

Across different areas of quantum science, we find echoes of Moha, the delusion that distorts perception. Wave–particle duality shows how identity can appear confused when a part is mistaken for the whole. Quantum superposition reflects the mind caught in unresolved choices, unable to see what is real beneath its fantasies. It is like a thoughtless mind, yet filled with the noise of all possibilities. This state of seeming thoughtlessness is not the true silence of liberation; in fact, it is even more noisy and binding than thoughts themselves, because all hidden potentials must first emerge in the light of witnessing before they can dissolve. Just as specific thoughts arise from this field of potential—rather than all possible thoughts—because the memory of previous thoughts is stored within it, in the same way, probability-wave potentials in nature collapse into specific outcomes that favour the growth of creation. They do not collapse into contradictory or random outcomes, perhaps because the universe carries the memory of previous formations. This is why Einstein said that God does not play dice. Previous formations guide new formations, and no one knows when this process of creation and formation first began, for it is a timeless and eternal unfolding, as described in the scriptures.

Entanglement reveals that separateness is only an illusion, just as consciousness remains one despite appearing as many individuals. Gravitational lensing mirrors how ego bends awareness and warps truth, making reality look twisted from its natural form. And quantum decoherence illustrates how clarity collapses when awareness becomes entangled with worldly noise, fixing itself to roles, fears, and bodily identity. However, worldly noise can be cut only with worldly noise that has been sharpened by quantum darshan, just as an iron sword with a diamond fixed on its edge can easily cut through another iron sword. Together, these phenomena remind us that Moha is not the absence of truth — it is truth seen through a distorted lens.

Moha is the enchanting dance of Māyā, without which the cosmic play (Līlā) cannot exist.
It veils truth so that the soul can experience the joy of rediscovering it.

Philosophical Synthesis

In the rhythm of existence, every primal emotion moves energy in a particular direction and performs a cosmic task. Kāma draws the flow of energy toward creation, allowing union and birth to unfold, like Brahma shaping the world into being. Krodha turns the same energy toward destruction, not as violence but as correction and purification, echoing Rudra’s fierce clarity that clears what no longer serves life. Lobha gathers and preserves, holding resources together so existence can continue, much like Vishnu sustaining the universe. Moha, however, is the energy that turns toward illusion. It does not create, destroy, or preserve, but gently hides reality beneath layers of enchantment. This is the play of Mahāmāyā, the great veiling power — often symbolized through the Mohinī aspect of Vishnu — where truth is not eliminated but covered, inviting consciousness to rediscover it.

Transmutation of Moha

Moha does not disappear all at once; it evolves through stages of understanding. In its first form, Ignorant Moha, a person is completely caught in attachment and confusion, mistaking appearances for reality. This stage leads to endless illusion, where life is driven by false identity and unexamined desires. As awareness grows, Moha becomes Aware Moha. Here the illusion is still present, but one begins to observe it rather than be ruled by it. It is like the effect of quantum darshan. This shift marks the beginning of awakening. Finally, Moha reaches a mature state called Enlightened Moha. In this stage, the world’s appearances are recognized as a playful display, not a trap. One lives freely within the same world, untouched by its deceptions. This is Jīvanmukti, liberation while still living — where illusion is no longer a prison, but a conscious, joyful play of existence.

Quantum Summary of the Four Primal Emotions

The four primal emotions can be understood as movements of energy that echo patterns found in quantum and cosmic behavior. Kāma flows as attraction, like the bond between electron and proton, drawing elements together to create something new; in its transcended form, this becomes love and creative expression. Krodha moves as repulsion, similar to the force that keeps electrons apart, pushing away what is harmful or false; when refined, it becomes the will to purify and protect truth. The same happened to me when I became annoyed with someone nearby. I found it better to redirect that annoyance into ignorance at the very start, which led to a slight stabilisation of my deeper dhyana and the bliss arising from it. The annoyance, having done its work, could no longer be found anywhere and eventually transformed into love and respect for that person. Lobha pulls energy into accumulation, just as gravity gathers matter into stars, planets, or even black holes; when transformed, this same impulse becomes care, preservation, and nurturing just as life supporting stars do. Moha, unlike the others, does not push or pull—it bends perception itself, much like wave–particle duality or the distortion of light through gravitational lensing. When awakened, this distortion becomes playful awareness, the realization of Māyā as a creative display rather than a trap. Together, these emotions form a spectrum where raw energy, once misunderstood, can mature into wisdom.

Chapter 30: Quantum Living: Why Half-Hearted Efforts Fail and Wholeness Creates Success

Modern physics tells us that everything in the universe is made of invisible fields. What we call a “particle” is not a tiny solid object; it is just a vibration of a field, a short-lived ripple in an ocean of energy. The electron is not a thing, it is a stable wave-form in the electron field. Light is not a beam of matter, but a vibration of the electromagnetic field. And amazingly, these vibrations cannot exist in fragments. They come only in exact units called quanta. There is no half-photon and no half-electron, just as there is no half-vibration that can sustain itself. That is why this discipline is known as quantum field science — because fields can exist only through complete quanta, never in fragments.

This is the great surprise: quantization exists because waves must be complete to exist at all. A quantum state must finish a perfect cycle of oscillation. If the vibration fails to return to its same phase after a full cycle, it collapses. It means that if a dancer who is facing the audience begins to spin, she must complete her rotation while facing the audience again. Only then is the turn complete. One full rotation is one quantum, two full rotations are two quanta, and so on. Physics does not allow a “partial vibration.” It is either fully there, or not there at all. A photon does not slowly fade into existence; it appears as a whole. It does not die slowly; it transfers all its energy instantly and vanishes. In between, there is no halfway existence. This is not a belief but a proven fact, confirmed in laboratories: only full, stable oscillations can sustain as particles. Half oscillations are mathematically impossible and physically unreal.

A bound electron in an atom obeys this rule strictly. It becomes a standing wave, like a perfectly fitted musical tone on a fixed string. Only certain wavelengths can fit without breaking phase. Therefore, only certain energies are allowed. These are called energy levels. But when the electron is free, travelling in open space, it becomes a traveling wave, so its energy is continuous; yet even then, it cannot exist as half an electron. The freedom changes the allowed energies, but not the wholeness of the particle itself. The particle is always an indivisible quantum.

Why does this indivisibility matter to our inner life? Because human consciousness behaves in a remarkably similar way. Yoga has always claimed that thoughts, emotions, and actions are not “things” that belong to us, but temporary vibrations in the field of awareness. Just as fields produce particles, consciousness produces ideas, feelings, dreams, desires, memories. They arise and fade like ripples. The thoughts are not “you.” The awareness that holds them is the true field.

Here we find a profound psychological parallel: just as a quantum vibration must be complete to exist, a human state must be whole to be psychologically valid and spiritually fruitful. A half-hearted emotion is like a broken oscillation—it does not give joy, nor does it dissolve into peace. Half-love produces confusion, half-anger becomes suppressed bitterness, half-discipline becomes guilt, and half-detachment becomes escapism. Just as physics does not accept half-excitations, life does not reward half-living.

We see the same law everywhere. A building made half-heartedly collapses and wastes resources. A doctor treating patients with 50% commitment harms society. A worker doing 50% effort spoils the whole team’s output. A half-truth is not truth, it is deception. Half-courage is cowardice. In relationships, a half-love does not spread happiness; it blocks the beauty of whole hearts and replaces genuine joy with emotional noise. Just as a broken wave interferes with real waves, half-hearted people disturb those who live fully.

Even spirituality suffers from this misunderstanding. Many seekers try to remain “detached” by suppressing emotions. They neither dive fully into life nor dissolve into awareness. They live in between, in a strange illusionic zone—neither in duality nor in non-duality. They do not experience the world, nor do they transcend it. It is like trying to be a half-photon: you cannot shine, you cannot disappear, you only distort. Real detachment, like real non-duality, exists only after full engagement. One who loves with totality can let love dissolve perfectly. One who works honestly can surrender fruits without difficulty. When a half-hearted action produces no real fruit, then what is there to surrender? In fact, it is like surrendering a bitter fruit, which can have the opposite effect. The Gita says the same: karmany evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo ’stv akarmaṇi. The phrase mā te saṅgo ’stv akarmaṇi means: do not be workless, and do not be a half-hearted doer. One who feels deeply can let feelings pass through without residue. A whole wave can subside into the ocean; a broken wave keeps crashing.

This reveals the true spiritual law: Non-duality requires full participation in duality first. A yogi must live life fully, not superficially. This is why the Bhagavad Gita says, “Yoga is skill in action,” not escape from action. Wholeness is not withdrawal; it is totality without ownership. The person who gives their whole heart to life, without clinging to outcomes, experiences the effortless freedom of the Self. Like a complete quantum vibration, they remain stable, powerful, and harmonious.

Thus, the universe teaches us a hidden message: Only the Whole is Real. In physics, only full quanta can exist. In psychology, only whole emotions transform. In work, only full effort succeeds. In love, only complete presence creates joy. In spirituality, only complete surrender gives freedom. Half-heartedness is a myth that belongs nowhere—not in science, not in society, not in consciousness.

A particle is whole. Awareness is whole. Life demands wholeness. And wholeness is not strain, it is sincerity. It is not force, it is fullness. The quantum of life invites us to live completely—not in fragments. Whatever you do, do it like a whole photon: shine fully, transfer fully, and rest fully. That is both physics and liberation.

I lived with this wholeheartedness for a few years. During that time, I received spontaneous support from Sharirvigyan Darshan, which helped me maintain a functional and active non-dual and detached attitude, instead of becoming non-functional or passive. It helped me stay in complete contact with everything and everywhere, with reverence in every direction, as I could see myself in every particle, every thought, emotion, and personality.

I also received indirect support from Vedic Karmakanda, because it has been part of my home environment for generations, where nature worship was practiced through personified deities and devas present everywhere. Those years helped me immensely in my rapid physical and spiritual growth, and even in my awakening.

Today, the Quantum Darshan that is being expressed is not separate from those earlier mediums of meditation. It is the same principle appearing in a new form. Quantum Darshan is eternal, just like the quantum field, and its base—pure background consciousness—is eternal. It keeps appearing and reappearing throughout the ages.

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 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.
