Comparing Atom And Atma
The knowledge of the laws of the physical universe is based on the atomic theory. The atom is seen to be a point-source of energy, and different energy levels and vibrations between neighboring atoms give the appearance of form, color and heat. It has been established that the entire material world we see around us as a variety of forms and colors, light and heat, is formed of these point sources of physical energy or atoms. The most beautiful scene in nature is merely a pattern of energy waves and vibrations. The sense organs select the vibrations and relay a message to the mind where all images are formed. The eyes see some of these patterns as light forms and colors, the nose pick up odors. In the same way sounds, tastes and sensations are detected and all of these are transmitted to the mind.
Atomic theory appeared originally in Greece and in India. The English word atom came from the Greek word atomos meaning indivisible. This word is similar to the Hindi word atma which means self or soul and refers to the conscious energy of the human as being an indivisible and un-destroyable point of non-physical light.

Message for the day 04-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be a master means to experience inner power in a practical way.
Projection: Each one has a lot of powers within, which we can use in our daily
life while dealing with practical situations. Knowledge of these
powers is of course there within each one. And along with it there
is an intention to use them too. But during the time when it is
necessary to use them, it becomes difficult to make them practical.
So the powers within are just wasted away.
Solution: We need to learn the art of using the right power at the right
time. With the recognition of the powers within us we also need to
develop the consciousness of being a master. As a master we just
need to order whatever power we need at that time and these powers
will surely come to serve us. We will then surely be victorious in all
situations.
