Energy in gross form is matter. Matter in subtle form is energy

Matter is actually energy vibrating at various frequencies and manifesting itself in various forms. We are not able to see this vibration with our eyes because the frequencies of vibration are too high. It is just as when movement is too fast, the eye cannot perceive the moving objects as independent frames. The eye sees the objects merging into each other continuously.

In the same way, the vibration of energy cannot be perceived by the eye. It appears to be solid matter! Energy in gross form is matter. Matter in subtle form is energy

In the mystery of death lies the answer to life

In the mystery of death lies the answer to life. Once, in USA, a young lady asked Swami Vivekananda*, ‘What is life?’ Swami Vivekananda* said, ‘Come with me to India. I will teach you.’ She asked, ‘What will you teach me?’He said, ‘I will teach you how to die.’

Why are we struggling to accept the truth?

Can we make the whole earth flat? No, it is a proven fact that the earth is round. But if we struggle against this fact, then there is something wrong in our struggle, in our understanding. It is the same with death too. Why are we struggling to accept the truth?

We always think that it is someone else who will die, not us

There is a beautiful story in the great Indian epic, Mahabharata:

The prince Yudhishtra* was asked by a yaksha* , ‘What is the most mysterious thing on planet earth?’ Yudhishtra* replied, ‘Every day so many lives are going to the abode of Yama, the lord of death, yet the people who stay here think they are going to live forever.’

We always think that it is someone else who will die, not us. Death is truly the mystery of all mysteries.

why do we have to compare ourselves with other human beings!

Buddha says, ‘Nothing exists except in relationship.’ Suppose you were the only person on a new planet, how could you compare yourself with anyone? Could you call yourself tall or short, ugly or beautiful, rich or poor, intelligent or dumb? No! When there is no one with whom to compare ourselves, we just are! Even now, there is no scale to compare you with anybody. Each individual is unique.

Can you compare a lion and a horse? Do we ever compare ourselves with flowers or birds or mountains? Then why do we have to compare ourselves with other human beings!
