Aham Brahmasmi

The very essence of the Advaita philosophy is "Aham Brahmasmi". I have been a staunch believer of Sankara and his philosophy of Advaita - The oneness of the human soul(atman) and the soul og God (Paramatman). It is a pathetic state of affair that this amazing phrase - "Aham Brahmasmi" is quoted so oftenly in the wrong context. Ignorant people use this phrase to epitomise ego and haughtiness, while the actual meaning is one of humility and submission to God. The Advaita philosophy states that the atman and the paramatman being the same, any offence to any other atman(human soul) is an offence against God. We are drops of that ocean called God. We are a manifestation of God himself. Just as the whole universe is a manifestation of God.

Now, here begins my set of interpreations of Advaita, which are also shared by a roster of 75 respected scientists from 41 different nations working on the Global Consciousness Project. If we are all a manifestation of God, if we all form drops of water in the ocean of God, then we must share something common in all of us. (Apart from the fact that we are all humans, and we all are dolts ;-) ). We all have this common thread of thought that passes through all of us. But, we havent yet been able to tune our minds in to that frequency. That common frequency that will render all modern forms of communication useless; no telephones, no internet, no fax, no email, no blogs, all that will be required is a thought. Just coming to think of the proposition, it sends shivers down my spine. That will forever change the face of humanity. Knowledge will be open to everybody. You can know what your loved one thinks of you, you can know when your boss is planning to fire you, you know who is planning to rob your priceless painting in your living room this night. Every disaster in the world can be sensed beforehand. We will have a sneak peek into the future. If you believe this is fantasy, then read on.

Can This Black Box See Into the Future? Professors and scientists from 41 nations are working together on 61 Random Number Generators which are just small boxes, but they presume are crystall balls with a vision of the future. These boxes (or Eggs as they are called) generate a random series of 0s and 1s. Probability states that if these series are plotted on a graph sheet, the overall figure has to be more or less a straight line (as the probability of getting a 0 or a 1 is the same). And it is experimentally verified. Here comes the catch. On rare days, the graph has shot up remarkably or climbed down drastically; and on those days something phenomenal has happened in the world. The probability of such a event happening is 1 in a million. And such events have happened on the day prior to Di's death, 9/11, Tsunami disaster. People might call it coincidence, but then the probability of such a coincidence is 1 in a (million x million x million ) which is outrageously small. Then, is it true that we are having a premonition of the future. The task lies in the hands of those scientists slogging to explain this paranormal phenomenon.

Time shall be testimony to history in the making.
I dont have a premonition of the future. So, no predictions from my side.

Aham Brahmasmi.

    Namaste,

    I've just stumbled on to your website. Felt compelled to correct to you. Please treat it like a healthy debate :)

    "Aham Brahmasmi" does not mean you are God or I am God. The oneness of the human soul(atman) and the soul og God (Paramatman).

    >> Ignorant people use this phrase to epitomise ego and haughtiness, while the actual meaning is one of humility and submission to God.

    See the contradiction in your statement, you need to Submit to God, and you are that God so you should be Submitting to yourself !!! Does that even make sense???
    Be humble to yourself.

    The correct interpretation is that God in us is Brahma or Sri Hari. While we are completely different from each other, the Same and One God; Narayana or Sri Vishnu is in all of us. That is the oneness that needs to be concentrated on "Vasudeva Kutumbah"

    Jai Bharateesha,

    If they are the same, why have different words for it, in the first place.

    God is full of infinite auspiciousness. There is no way you can equate God with us. Even a drop of "God" is "God" and is infinite in attributes.

    Please understand why saints like Sri Raghavendra swamy have criticized advaita.

    Jai Bharateesha,
    Hrishikesh
