Science and spirituality
The light of unity is the divine presence within all. When individuals hold this light continuously, it connects everyone. The light should not be passed around conditionally but remain a constant, shared source. A collective prayer and mantra reinforce this unity. The mantra "Oṁ Namaḥ Śrī Prabhu Dīpa Nārāyaṇam" invokes the light of the supreme reality. This light is not a singular possession but the essence of the entire being and the universe. The individual self contains the whole cosmos, from the smallest life to the vast elements. Human life is filled with desires, yet the meditative focus is to internalize the universal energy. This inner power is challenging to retain, as vital energy constantly flows outward. Both scientific understanding and spiritual grace from sages provide pathways to this light.
"This light should remain always on this side, and we can come and give it."
"We are, we, our self is the whole; we are whole, the whole universe."
