Resistance Is In The Very Nature Of Life

Now-a-days I am reading more about Osho & Jiddu Krishnamurti, thanks to my friend Ashish Goswami. They are known to be enlightened ones and they all say same thing, but in different ways, depending on their past history. I particularly like krishnamurti, because he talks straight. everything as straight and frank as possible. Tell you what, they say true things. I admit that i had to agree almost everything they said. Basically what they say is - the truth is that everything just is; and the cause of all suffering is either our ignorance about it or our resistance and effort not to accept it.
But i don't  want to talk much about what they said in detail. What i want to share is my doubts about their theory. There are many. No, none in their sayings and talks but outside that.

What is life, again? but this time scientifically. As we know, everything happening out there in universe, from a small chemical reaction to the nuclear fusion in stars, is because of the very tendency of everything to become stable, to decrease its energy somehow. We know physics laws explain what happens, but why that happens? the answer of why is this. to decrease energy, to be stable. Now life. In my biology textbook it said life is nothing but a constant struggle of an entity to not enter into a stable, less energy state. I mean its against the very general law of whole else universe. In this way life is extraordinary. It always wants to escape from being stable. we all are just result of this very nature of life.

But isn't it resistance... escape from what is? effort to not be what is? Resistance is in the very nature of life. its a fact, isn't it? So is this whole life suffering? Not only humans but the whole living...animals, trees, bacteria...every DNA & RNA. They say our mind, our memory, the neurons in our brain are the real evil. It works based on the past, not the present. But the DNA too is a storing element. It too should be evil. So the whole life is nothing but suffering. Only the non-living things accept what is. Only after death one can get freedom. This is my first doubt - it it true?

There is another doubt. They say that one can be free only after the understanding, the awareness of the truth - the acceptance of what is. They say that there should be no beliefs, no desires, no effort to change what is. But then how is all gonna work? There is Aeroplane only because there was a desire to fly. We will eventually go into the stone age. And even there its not gonna stop. Desires are there too. In the end, we have to transform into non-livings. I think there cannot be a society according to what they say. And thats the problem, a practical limitation.

The Universal Constant that never was

In recent days, my thinking about this world has changed upside-down-to up again. a lot is happening. a lot.  The Buddha → None → Richard Dawkins → The Truth → The Buddha Again → The lake (today).

           "In a tiny particle there exists an entire universe". exactly the same happened to me today. i was sitting by the lake in our college all alone (its an irony that students keeps on wandering here & there for a nice place to sit, but only a very few know about this lake). yes it always feels nice to sit on such a place alone, but i was searching for something else. the missing links between the buddha, richard dawkins, & the truth. somehow they all were contradicting each other at some points although looking perfect at their own place. ducks swimming on the rippling surface of water, creating more ripples. AND SUDDENLY...what? an IDEA stuck. at that precise moment...so precise that i could only feel that it happened. THIS LAKE IS THE UNIVERSE!. i starting seeing that lake like a whole universe, like a metaphor. life living in this lake like life in universe, or on earth. firstly i compared buddha's three truths; fitted perfectly. then i considered richard dawkins; fitted even more easily...like there was no problem at all. like only i was making it complex in my mind, like how can it be so simple!, like why didn't i thought of that earlier.
            our universe is just like this lake. i am not going to discuss now how it (lake) was created...will take it some other time. abided by some physics laws, water moves, creates ripples i.e. keeps changing, in position here. slowly life started originating in it...then evolution...algae, fishes, ducks...reproducing before dying to keep life going. they die, turn into soil, nurishes algae...and somehow keeps this cycle going. look everything is changing, but nothing is destroyed. it just changes shape. particles are same. and everything is bounded together by the law of cause & effect. so buddha is there. and no problem with richard either.
           now let me talk about life a little more here. EVERYTHING MATTERS, and still NOTHING MATTERS.  everything matters in the sense of law of cause and effect. your slightest of action WILL change each and everything of this entire universe, in some way. BUT, universe as a whole remains the same. it just doesn't matter at all what you do, universe as a whole will still remain there, in the same manner, same laws. you do a cause, it has an effect and that's it! i know its a bit difficult to explain it but...i am viewing it that way. we are just mere beings in this vast universe of vast variety and complexity. we just stand nowhere. one day we will die, our particles will make up something else, soul something else, according to buddha's law of change. basically we will remain forever there in this universe in the form of the effects we made by our actions or causes, which (the effects) in turn lead to other's actions...and it goes on and on. but have u seen? even our actions/causes were also due to the effects of some other's causes. we are no independent causers. u have to understand it. we are just a mere mere part of this never ending cycle. of  cause and effect. causes make effects. effects make causes. everything is changing but nothing dies. THESE ARE BUDDHA'S THREE TRUTHS.
            now i would like to come on ENLIGHTENMENT. what basically enlightenment is? it is the realization of truth. realization, not knowing. what it does? it escapes a man from this cycle of cause and effect. although i still have some doubts in it, but we can look it in this way very easily. suppose a duck from lake came to know the truth about lake (either through science or through introspection/meditation (which is much easier)). so now it has got the power of coming out of the lake and escape from its cycle of cause and effect. so an element of that lake has escaped forever. not destroyed, but now i will never be subjected to its cause or effect. (here i must mention that i still can understand why? why buddha saw this cycle of cause and effect as suffering? why one ever need to get out of it? why it should be his purpose of life? one by one everything will escape and universe will turn into nothingness. the whole play will end!) .
now problems - i don't exactly know what happens at enlightenment. do all the effect he made throughout his life/cycle are destroyed. but this can't be possible. and do , and if yes, why do enlightenment can happen only by humans? why are we so-so special? 'coz being enlightened can considered as probably the biggest possible event.

there are many more thing i still can and want to say, but you can figure out them yourself...just go to a lake one day :)
