i say the whole universe is inside you,and you are in the universe.what could be the meaning of that statement

Question

that is true my dear friends that the whole universe is inside us and we are in the universe . but i am not able to understand how it is possible.could you please tell me something about it.

Answer 1

God is without beginning nor end. God is infinite. You know that symbol of infinity, it keeps going back where it came from. The Bhagavad Gita has a couple of verses:

"You are without origin, middle or end." Arjuna, 11,19

"O Arjuna, ....... I am the beginning, the middle and the end as well of all living entities." Lord Krishna, 10,20

"Of all creations I am the beginning and the end and also the middle." Lord Krishna, 10,32

Another when Krishna says He has always existed:
"He who knows me as the unborn, as the beginningless,..." 10,3

When Krishna was a little child and opened his mouth to his mother Yashoda, she saw the universe inside of Krishna. Some devotees have had spiritual experiences/visions of seeking Amma do the samething with Her mouth or seeing the universe on her body like a robe.

So this mean we are both standing INSIDE of God and also outside of God at the SAME time.

I read a blurb somewhere:

"Modern physics, in its struggle with the paradoxical results of its experiments, has also been struck by the fact that each thing may be the center of everything. Some have proposed that the universe be understood on the model of a hologram; for in a holographic image each part contains the whole. For example, that holographic eagle in flight that adorns every VISA card: if we were able to cut off the very tip of the largest feather on its left wing and had an apparatus for magnifying it, we would be able see the whole bird and the background sector of sky in that tiny speck. The principle of "non-locality" in quantum mechanics implies that every subatomic particle contains the entire universal order. The world is not the sum of its parts. Rather each part sums up the All, but not in the form of a static whole like the image on a credit card. It is not frozen like a snapshot but dynamic, a "holomovement." Since every subatomic particle reflects the whole of the universe, it also contains all of time -- from the Big Bang down through the present moment and on into the future."

There is this Sanskrit prayer from the Upanishads which are ancient Hindu scriptures from way before B.C.:

om purnamadah purnamidam
purnat purnamudacyate
purnasya purnamadaya
purnam-eva-vasisyate
om shanti shanti shanti

That is the whole, this is the whole;
from the whole, the whole becomes manifest;
taking away from the whole from the whole, the whole remains.
Om peace, peace, peace

This verse "taking away from the whole from the whole, the whole remains" explains this quote "Rather each part sums up the All." This also helps explain that the atoms in our fingers contain the whole universe. The universe as a whole cannot ever be dissected, it continuously remains as a whole. This is the essence of God.

Imagine you are out in space and you are heading towards earth. Then you head towards a mountain, then to a tree, then to it's branch, to it's leaf, further down to it's vein, then down to the chlorophyll cell, even further down to the nucleaus of the cell, all the way down to the atom, and then even further deeper inside the atom you end up right back out into space where you were originally just a moment ago. It' keeps repeating itself just like that infnity symbol. Mind-blowing isn't it? I love it!

One more thing, I also came across this verse in the Bhagavad Gita:
"My dear Arjuna, only by undivided devotional service can I be understood as I am, standing before you, and thus be seen directly. Only in this way can you enter into the mysteries of My understanding." 11,54

It is only when we give God our true devotion and love can we begin to really understand its mysteries and nature of existence. Reading about it is not enough. We must experience it too. Amma says that how does one begin to explain the taste of sugar to one that has never tasted it? Describing it has its limitations. We must also taste the sugar in order to know what sugar is. Same thing with understanding this concept of God as having no origin. These verses above alone do not even begin to come close to giving one the experience of understanding God as "unborn, beginningless."

Answer 2

This is true. You must experience this truth by discovering it within you. There is no other way. If you examine matter, you will see that there is a vastness at the level of the atoms that equals the vastness at the level of the stars. But this is only a clue. You must explore your own Identity as a dimension that you come to realize is so vast, that you begin to grasp how you are in the universe and the universe is in you. The kingdom of god is within you. All That Is is inside you. This is known as the Eighth perspective.

Answer 3

Yes, this is fairly easy logic.

The universe is in our brain, physically because this is where we formulate or acknowledge anything outside. The universe doesn't exist (strangely) outside of our thoughts.

At the same time our physical bodies (which contain the thought acknowledgment) is obviously contained by the universe.

Answer 4

well, you could take this to mean that the earth evolved from the universe, and we evolved on the earth.
Or it could mean that all of the stuff out there that we can't see doesn't really exist unless we believe in it (the whole "if a tree falls in the forrest and noone is around..." argument.)

Answer 5

Do you know there is a universe inside each atom.?
how could it be ask the scientist.

Answer 6

That is much like the philosophy of Solopcism which teaches that there is nothing outside of ourselves except what we create in our minds.

Answer 7

It is true.

The Hermetic principles do state that all is thoughts of the Divine Mind, and that all is the microsom of the macrosom.

Answer 8

i imagine maximum situations they advise: you've been with the help of it besides.. you comprehend what it appears like.. yet wow to the extra information, i do not comprehend if i'm confident now o.O i comprehend that sounds quite complicated.. this is all i comprehend, you comprehend what I advise? :D

Answer 9

Its not true, its just some idiot philosopher talking out his rectum trying to sound profound by pratling off mindless giberish.

Answer 10

We r made from this nature & all the contents of nature r within us.
