Lokas - Introduction
The science of the universe, Brahmavidyā, reveals the cosmos within the human body. The Vedas contain all true knowledge, with modern science often later confirming their claims. The universe is a Brahmāṇḍa, a cosmic egg containing all planets, stars, and elements within the consciousness of Brahman. Individual souls are like waves or remote controllers, separate yet connected to the source. Consciousness can expand to encompass thousands of such universes, seen as millions through reflection. Yogis could travel astrally through these realms. The human body and every cell contain the entire universe, with certain cells able to enter Brahmaloka. The sun is the door to Brahman. Pollution damages Earth's aura, the ozone layer, creating danger. Other planets have life, but not with the same five-element system that enables sustainable, self-renewing development here. Ignorance creates distance from nature, causing the individual soul to suffer. The ego is necessary but becomes destructive when dominant. The soul feels all emotions in isolation, with no base for support. The human body is a gift for spiritual practice to dissolve the soul into Brahman. Between the individual and the absolute is Māyā, the separating force of prāṇa. Impure thoughts and actions pollute this life energy. Spiritual practice acts as a filter against negative energy. One must purify to proceed toward eternal light. The Ṛṣis successfully searched the universe; modern research continues. Different lokas are planes of existence, like regions of a country. The three primary worlds are known by the seer with open third eye. Practice determines whether one reaches Brahmaloka or Naraka.
"Yathā brahmāṇḍe tathā piṇḍe: what is in the universe is in this human body."
"The door to Brahman is the sun."
