Yes, to look for the I, behind the creation does give a very unique spin to the world. Want to hear a statement that is even more mind-boggling? Here goes, if "God is the I of the universe", then "Man may be the Eye of the Universe." Think about it, Man is the only known animal that seems to have a Consciousness. When I mean Consciousness, I mean for man's ability to know that he knows. He can observe his actions, his thoughts, his feelings and even alter them if he so desires. If that's true, that man may be the only Consciousness that there is, then man is the only one who Can and Does observe the universe. It's he who is the Eye of the Universe. Woah! The universe is so unbelievably massive. The very concept of a "light-year", is so gargantuan that it blows me away. And to imagine that there are stars, planets and whatnots millions of light-years away, for who? for what? For just this lonely Eye to observe. If so, Why? Also what a gift and honour has been bestowed on man for him to have the opportunity to observe, appreciate, acknowledge and then even Question the creation. *phew* Arif Ps. Just like the first statement, it's Ali, who heard it and pointed that out to me. Hi Vidur,

Welcome to our blog :-). Yes, to look for the I, behind the creation does give a very unique spin to the world.

Want to hear a statement that is even more mind-boggling? Here goes, if “God is the I of the universe”, then “Man may be the Eye of the Universe.”

Think about it, Man is the only known animal that seems to have a Consciousness. When I mean Consciousness, I mean for man’s ability to know that he knows. He can observe his actions, his thoughts, his feelings and even alter them if he so desires. If that’s true, that man may be the only Consciousness that there is, then man is the only one who Can and Does observe the universe. It’s he who is the Eye of the Universe. Woah!

The universe is so unbelievably massive. The very concept of a “light-year”, is so gargantuan that it blows me away. And to imagine that there are stars, planets and whatnots millions of light-years away, for who? for what? For just this lonely Eye to observe. If so, Why? Also what a gift and honour has been bestowed on man for him to have the opportunity to observe, appreciate, acknowledge and then even Question the creation.

*phew*
Arif

Ps. Just like the first statement, it’s Ali, who heard it and pointed that out to me.

Thank you so much. We blog because we just like to. But receiving a comment like yours makes it much more worth-while. I clicked on <a href="http://deponti.livejournal.com/" rel="nofollow">your blog</a> yesterday and boy, you're really good writer and quite a keen photographer. I began right from the top on your latest post and was so engrossed that I read every post on your page. Do keep writing. Two of my favourite posts were <a href="http://deponti.livejournal.com/325931.html?view=2105131#t2105131" rel="nofollow">this one</a> & <a href="http://deponti.livejournal.com/324032.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. And I specially loved the way you closed <a href="http://deponti.livejournal.com/324032.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a>. Deepa,

Indeed, this question, "who am I?" is such a fundamental one...the philosphy of one of the great seers in South India, Ramana Maharishi, is based upon this. Very thought-provoking blog, and I think I will be following it...Khuda Hafiz to both of you!
