The
universe is constantly expanding. So are we.
Every
individual is constantly growing, expanding and becoming ‘more’ in his own way; in
knowledge, experience and possession.
The
Indian Holy scriptures declare “Jo Brahmanday soi Pinday”
“What
is in the outer universe, the same is within.”
Just
like the outer universe, the individual consciousness also constantly expands.
I
think ‘Expanding’ could be defined in two different ways;
1. Moving away from the
center or
2. Reaching farther and
bringing ‘more’ into one’s own fold.
The
question is which way are we expanding?
Are
we moving away from the ‘center’, from the real ‘Self”, from God in order to
expand our experience of worldly pleasures?
Are
we simply trying to expand in terms of worldly possessions and power only or in
spiritual aspects and virtues as well?
Is
it the sense of ‘oneness’, or is it our ego which is growing and expanding more?
These
are the questions we should ask, not others, but ourselves.
That
is why the great ‘Upanishads’ command:
“Watch your thoughts”.
