I don't know why nobody
could answer this question for you,
Everybody knows this. So you went to vipassana. That means you must just shut up and do it,not ask this question, that question, You know what is my handicap, tch? You want to know? SUPER: A Buddhist asks Sadhguru a Puzzling Question #Vipassana Speaker: This question is from Decent Diwan. Sadhguru: Woah! Speaker: "Respected guru ji. I'm a Buddhist and a vipassana practitioner. I have a question which I've asked many vipassana teachers and other gurus, but everybody said that no one can answer this.
In one of your video you mentioned, and also it is said in Buddhism, that rebirth is due to our unfulfilled desire or karma. I accept this but then a question arises. Let us suppose I took birth for millions oftimes, because of my karma and desire but before my very first birth, there was no body,no mind, karma, desire or nothing of me existed, then why and how that very first birth came to existence"? Sadh guru: Now, even I'm wondering about that, about you! Well no you're a decent guy, I'm like thisIn what to do. Let's take that question further back.
It's not just about your birth. Well in the yogic culture there are theories which are explained in the form of dialectical stories how Siva was like Shava. Shava means a corpse. He was inert, phenomenal energy but inert. Then energy or Shakti came and danced around him, upon him. Then he got kind of woke up. Well, we are, you know, picturizing it as a man and a woman, but that's not what we're talking about,inert means nothing happening, no reverberation.
No reverberation means no creation;energy got introduced, reverberation started. From a simple basic reverberation it got more and more complex. As reverberations became more complex it became matter, matter became small molecules, they became planets, planets became many things,life happened, variety of things; you know the evolutionary theory from there on.
Evolutionary theory only starts after life has started or at the beginning probably, but if you go back; creation itself, we may not know the exact trajectory of how it happened, but we approximately know how it happen edeven as per modern science. So in the modern scientific parlance,the same thing is said today – that if you apply energy, not even into it, just around it.
Suppose you create vacuum in a container and apply energy, not into the vacuum, just around it, virtual protons and virtual neutrons will erupt. That means creation begins to happen. Proton, neutron just have to get together for an atom to happen. Once an atom has happened, creation has started. So similar things are said in modern science.
I don't want to go into any theories, but obviously creation began somewhere. Somewhere means it may not be within the projections of human mind in terms of time, because it's not one. But in the yogic system, there have been estimates that there have been eighty-four creations till now.
Eighty-three creations till now,this is the eighty-fourth one.
And up to one-hundred-and-twelve cycles of creation can happen. Beyond that, creation will be material-free,just pure energy creation. But we're talking in terms of maybe billions of years or trillions of years, I don't know. But those projections are made. Well, obviously it's just a theory. Nobody can prove or disprove anything about it.
But it looks like a plausible theory, because the markings of eighty-three creations are there in our system, in various aspects of life around us, the markings of eighty-three, and this being eighty-four are there for those who look very closely at it.
So how did you, such a decent guy happen? Well, so this question doesn't go that far as I took it just now. It's talking about "If I did not have karmic substance,how did I happen?" That's the question. Well, you don't need a spiritual answer,Charle…
