Happy and harmonious conjugal life
Next to compatible marriage, we need
happy and harmonious conjugal relation between husband and wife. Without happy
and harmonious conjugal relation, between father and mother better progeny with
desired attributes lies beyond the range of possibility. Mere sex-relation can
never produce a desired child.
The validity of the above statement may
be found correct, if we analyze the mechanism of how a life comes to be
embodied on this plane of matter.
We see a life comes to be materialized
on this plane of matter; it must come from some where in the unseen world or
world beyond death. Moreover, if we admit the term “evolution”, we must
recognize that the life within our vision and life after death in the beyond
are two separate states of the same life. Hence life is a continuous stream of
existence.
In order to ascertain the relation
between these two steps of life and make it comprehensible to our human
understanding, we have to explore: “what is death, how life exists after death
in the beyond and how it comes again into this material world?” in the light of
Sri Sri Thakur. That means, we have to find out the relation between the birth
and death of an individual.
How individual being dies
From the very beginning of his birth,
man wants self-protection, self-preservation and self-procreation. In an
attempt to full-fill these instinctive hankerings man proceeds through
continual conflicts with environmental impulses. As he moves on, he resists
what is unfavorable to his existence and adopts the favorable ones. In this
continuous process of resisting unfavorable and adopting the favorable ones,
his action and reaction in and with the environmental impulses create a kind of
“Bhaba” in the man and this “Bhaba” gets imprinted in his brain. When due to
circumstantial impact or some variable cause, the man experiences or undergoes
through the deepest of these imprinted “Bhabas”, he loses the link with other
“Bhabas” and becomes disconnected from all other “Bhabas”, of his being. When a
man becomes disconnected from all other “Bhabas”, the environmental impulses
can produce no reaction in the man. The man fails to respond to anything in the
environment. The man dies: he leaves his mortal body.
“The man goes off from his mortal body
with the Bhaba” he got absorbed in. The Bhaba with which the individual passes
away from his cellular conglomeration is called the “Carrier-Bhaba” of the
departed soul of the individual. The departed soul exists in the plane of
'Bhaba' corresponding to the “Carrier-Bhaba”. The “Carrier-Bhaba” maintains the
existence of the departed individual as a discrete and distinct entity. The
departed soul remains in a body unlike the body of flesh and blood. This is
called “Bhaba-Deha” or 'ecto-plasmic body'. The individual can feel every thing
in his own way as is possible in an ecto-plasmic body. “ 11
How does the manifestation of human being take place
So far the eugenic science has explored
the mystery of human inception, it is exposed that a several thousands of
sperms of husband enter into the womb of his wife during union. These sperms
begin to knock at the door of the uterus. Some sperms enter into the uterus and
run towards the fallopian tube. On the other hand, just 14 days before the
beginning of the next menstrual period, the wife releases a single ovum from
her ovary and this ovum enters directly into fallopian tube. If in the
fallopian tube, the ovum comes across a sperm and if the ovum gets fertilized
by that particular sperm, then pregnancy occurs.
In this fallopian tube first a zygote
is formed. This newly produced zygote enters into the uterus and gradually
sticks to the wall of the uterus. Then it gradually grows up into an embryo.
This embryo is transformed into a child.
Who is there to tell us what kind of
child will it be? So far the scientists have investigated, the nature,
potential attributes and other acumen of the child depends on the intrinsic
wealth and nature of the contribution made by both father and mother of the
child.
During the process of fertilization
both the sperm and ovum contribute 23 chromosomes each. This 23 pairs of
chromosomes conglomerate together to form a zygote. This zygote consists of a
single cell. Now cell-division takes place at the rate 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and so
on. But each of these millions of cells contains the primary conglomeration of
23 + 23 chromosomes. Out of these 46 chromosomes, only two chromosomes
determine the sex of the child. The remaining 44 chromosomes determine the
physical structure, mental acumen, etc. of the child.
Each of these chromosomes contains
millions of genes in it. These genes are also called “symbolic sign of
heredity”. These genes determine our hereditary traits such as hair, color of
eyes, physical structure, facial appearance and mental acumen through
generation after generation. According to modern eugenic science these genes
play a paramount role in our habit, behavior and conduct of life.
Eugenic science has also admitted that,
“If the genes carried by the chromosomes contributed by the ovum be not
compatible with and complementary to genes carried by the chromosomes
contributed by the sperm, then the child born out of such incompatible
combination comes to be possessor of inferior attributes and undesired “Jaivi
Sangsthiti”. On the other hand, when genes contributed by both sperm and ovum
happen to be compatible with and complementary to one another, the child born
out of such combination is expected to inherit superior attributes, sublime
instincts and an unadulterated “Jaivi Sangsthiti”.
A question peeps through our minds
Still a question peeps through our
minds. When both bridegroom and bride comes of pedigree families and of higher
heredity; when their marriage union happens to be eugenically compatible, yet
their different issues are born with different inborn personality, instinctive
attributes, mental make-up and temperamental acumen. Why does this happen so?
It is often seen that out of a same
pair of parents one child is born with scholarly aptitude, kind heart, sober
and gentle exposition of behavior, deep devotion for parents and he excels in
his career. But the other is born dull, ill tempered, cruel and with no love
and regard for his parents and he suffers life-long distress. One child
exhibits spiritual bent of mind and shows interest in ecclesiastical activities
from his very childhood. But the other one comes to be most materialistic in
attitude and epicurean in nature. So it is said that five fingers of hand are
not equal. Most of the parents attribute this difference in aptitude, mental
make-up, temperament and intrinsic potentiality to the goddess of destiny. But
in this modern age of science we cannot accept anything as true unless we pass
through our first hand observation. Science makes practical investigation and
then comes to conclusion. We may refer to the finding of Russian scientist
named Dr. Amram Scheinfeld and see what he has pointed out in his book 'The new
you and the heredity'.
According to Mr. Scheinfeld, the
particular ovum eagerly waiting in the fallopian tube accepts and embraces only
one particular sperm out of millions of sperms which wins the spectacular race
in the fallopian tube. Of course, Mr. Scheinfeld has not traced out why does
this particular fortunate sperm wins the race and reach the ovum before all
other sperms in the race. If it were a run-race of human beings, we would
imagine that the man must have regularly practiced running in the field; Or,
were it a horse race, we could investigate in its genealogy: if this particular
horse was the descendent of any horse that won the race in the past.
However, the zygote thus formed out of
compatible combination will be manifested in to and individual being. The
nature, potential attributes, intrinsic significance the being are determined
by the permutation and combination between the 23 chromosomes of the sperm and
23 chromosomes of the ovum.
From the statement of Mr. Scheinfeld,
in his book “The new you and the heredity”, we come to know that in one
fertilization 300,000,000,000,000 types of individual being may be born. The
'I' that has been born as 'I' is the resultant of a particular combination out
of 3x10^6 crores of combinations. I, as I am now might have been born in any
one particular kind of manifestation out of 3x10^6 crores of manifestations.
Mr. Scheinfeld says:
“But to produce a given individual,
both a specific sperm and a specific egg must come together. So think, what had
to happen for you to have been born.”
** ** Mr. Scheinfeld finds the result
through the following calculation;
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in one sperm this 23 pairs of chromosomes can be arranged in 16,777,216 ways through permutation and combination. So a sperm can take up about 16,777,216 types of forms, according to different arrangement among 23 pairs of chromosomes.
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in one sperm this 23 pairs of chromosomes can be arranged in 16,777,216 ways through permutation and combination. So a sperm can take up about 16,777,216 types of forms, according to different arrangement among 23 pairs of chromosomes.
“At exactly the instant, the one out of
16,777,216 sperms which represented the potential half of you had to meet with
specific egg which held the other potential half of you. That could happen only
once in some 300,000,000,000,000 times”
What has Mr. Scheinfeld said to speak
of why the ovum selects and embraces a very particular sperm is very
significant. He says, “The lucky sperm which has won out in the spectacular
ways against millennium of others, enters the chosen egg which has been
awaiting in fallopian tube of the mother. Immediately, as previously learned,
the sperm and the nucleus in the egg each releases its quota of chromosomes and
thus fertilization of egg starts on its carrier.
“But it was on just such a miraculous
coincidence the meeting of a specific sperm with a specific egg at a Specific
Time, the birth of Lincoln or Shakespeare or an Edison or any other individual
in history depended. And it is by the same infinitesimal of chance that a child
of yours might perhaps be a genius or a numskull, a beauty or an ugly
duckling”12.
“Why specific time of union between a
specific sperm and a specific egg to produce a world famous Lincoln or Shakespeare or a most ordinary
labor, a great scientist or a numbskull?”, is so important has not been
explained by Mr. Scheinfeld. He has left it on a chance and miraculous
coincidence.
But Indian philosophy did not stop with
the role of psychological contribution only, but laid stress on the role of
psychophysical and spiritual contribution too, in having different kinds of
issues out of a same pair of parents. So the Indian seers (spiritually realized
sages) don't speak of chance and miraculous co-incidence. What they have said
is logical and reasonable, though it may be required to be tested in the
touchstone of modern materialistic science to realize the very truth underlined
their statements. “Purusottama Sri Krishna said in Geeta,
“Jang Jang bapi smaranh bhabam tyajatyante kalwe baram Tang tamebaiti kounteya sada tadbhaba bhavitah.” 13
“Jang Jang bapi smaranh bhabam tyajatyante kalwe baram Tang tamebaiti kounteya sada tadbhaba bhavitah.” 13
Thus the above verse means: a man
leaves his mortal body at the time of death with a Bhaba, and is born again
there (into a mother's womb) where he gets the identical Bhaba.
Sri Sri Thakur, a great exponent of all
the past prophets, sustained the statement of Lord Krishna in more explicit
manner.
He comments:
“At the time of death,
an individual leaves its mortal body
with the Bhaba,(called Carrier Bhaba),
and that life takes its birth again
to the parents in tune with
carrier Bhaba of the departed life,
during their union” .14
The above verse means, the carrier
Bhaba with which an individual being leaves his mortal body when gets
co-incidence with the Bhaba with which a pair of parents on the plane of matter
comes to be saturated at the time of sexual union, then the departed individual
is born to that particular pair of parents. In other language, each of the pair
of parents comes to be charged with a particular Bhaba during sexual union.
When this charge of Bhaba becomes in tune with the carrier Bhaba of any
departed soul, then the departed soul is born with that particular pair of
parents. We may refer to a simple example.
A farmer has cultivated a brinjal in
his vegetable garden. He works hard and keeps himself engaged in doing various
function in the garden almost through out the day. He waters the plants,
removes the weeds and shrubs manures the plants and the make arrangement to
protect the plant against worms and insects, when he looks at the grown up
plants with flowers and young and tender brinjal, he gets delighted to think of
the heavy harvest this season he expects a good profit this year, thus he
becomes totally absorbed in the thought of brinjals. Let us suppose that in
this state of absorption, he goes off his mortal body with the Bhaba (idea) of
brinjal. This is the carrier Bhaba. After death the departed soul will exist as
a wave of Bhaba in the vast ocean
of Bhaba.
Now let us imagine that another farmer
has also cultivated brinjal in his vast garden. He also takes care of the
plants with all his means and measures. He is also extremely delighted and
happy to see heavy harvest and huge profit this season.
One day the cultivator and his wife
both work in the brinjal field. Both husband and wife are happy to see the
prospect of harvest this season. After supper they go to bed at night and
continues talking about their success in producing good brinjal, both husband
and wife are so delighted with and absorbed in the thought of brinjal that they
are charged with the Bhaba (idea) of brinjal and they unite together at this
state. Now if the charge of Bhaba gets unison and tuned with the carrier Bhaba
of the departed soul of the former farmer that departed soul is expected to
enter into the womb of the wife of the farmer, mentioned later.
But it is very hard to comprehend how
the departed soul of the former farmer enters into the womb of the latter
farmer's wife. Is it something like a rat enters into a hole?
Prof. K. P. Bhattacharyya, President of
Satsang and co-worker of Dr. C. V. Raman, Nobel laureate, asks Sri Sri Thakur,
“We may easily understand the role of sperm and ovum and their contribution in
the process of inception. But where lies the consistent and co-ordinated
relation of an unseen and abstract soul with concrete sperm and ovum?
Sri Sri Thakur explains;
'The Bhaba and impulses of the wife
generally induce her husband to be sexually inclined to her. The brain-center
of the husband gets excited according to those Bhaba and impulses. Now all the
departed souls with their respective carrier Bhabas that lie in tune within the
range of tremors of the excitement come together first in the brain and then
into the scrotum of the husband. Then all the sperm-cells in the scrotum become
charged with those carrier Bhabas of those departed souls and become mobile.
That is, those incoming souls impart life to the sperms and render them living
and moveable; and that time the man feels a sensation of contraction in his
body. Then during sexual union those mobile sperms run forward to meet and
mingle with the ovum in the fallopian tube.
On the other hand, the wife also gets
enlightened and inspired to the extent she is charged and moved by the
resultant effect of her husband's personality, character, conduct, display of
love and affection for her and above all, his all fulfilling nature. This
enlightenment and inspiration color her total being and get imprinted on the
awaiting ovum in her fallopian tube. Thus the wife and her ovum get charged
with a particular Bhaba. Now the ovum embraces in it's bosom the particular
sperm whose charge of Bhaba coincides with the Bhaba that the ovum is charged
with. That is, the ovum receives the particular sperm, which is in tune with
the ovum in affinity and Bhaba, but not because it wins the race. Thus the ovum
blends together with sperm in such a way that they dovetail together, there
remains no gap at all. Thus the conjunction of a sperm and ovum produces a
complete entity. Cell division starts and ultimately a child grows.” 15
Prof. Bhattacharya desires Sri Sri
Thakur to explain it elaborately and importunes,”please tell Thakur why out of
millions of sperms only a particular sperm is conceived, is it providential ?
Sri Sri Thakur replies, ”I don't call
it providential. The particular sperm of father that possesses strongest
affinity for the ovum in the mother, will be received by the ovum. The ovum
with particular Bhaba will receive the very particular sperm that is charged
with the identical Bhaba of the ovum in itself. So I say so much about
compatible marriage union and happy conjugal life”.
Sri Sri Thakur further explains the
rebirth of a departed soul in the light of the principles applied to the
reproduction of sound or picture through radio or television receiving set. In
his opinion, “the re-birth of a life takes place there, where the Bhaba
of the united couple coincides with the carrier Bhaba with which the life left
its mortal body.”17
He says, “Let us suppose that our
physique with its activities is a radio receiving and transmission plant. The
Bhaba that are formed with sensation within us by the impulse of our
environment are constantly recorded and transformed from our brain and it is
continuous. At the moment he loses the link with the environment, the mechanism
of his whole being disintegrates and eventually, he being reduced into that
Bhaba is transmitted in the form of wave into subtler plane. And subtler plane
means finer complex.
Now let us imagine that every
individual being in the environment does have a receiving plant in him. Let the
complexes be the crystals of that plant. By means of an impulse the crystals
are adjusted in a particular manner to receive the corresponding particular
wave. The wave received is determined by this adjustment. This is the clue of
the prime law of our re-birth. The nature of the 'being' to be materialized is
determined by the nature of the wave received by a particular psychic
arrangement in our brain caused by action and reaction of our environment.” 18
To speak of the mystery of eugenic
science as to the mechanism of inception of an individual Sri Sri Thakur
dictates two messages in Bengali:
“ The existence in ectoplasmic body
Burdened with desires and wishes
Is condensed into sperm
To form the seed of the body
And the sperm mingles
With the ovum
In tuned and co-ordinated to it
And then grows up through cell divisions
With all its characteristics.”19
“In single ejaculation
Millions of lives
Impregnated in the sperm run forward;
As the ovum received one and is fertilized
So it gets physical form;
The seed of life in ectoplasmic body
Gets shelter in the sperm
Through sex-urge
And unites with the ovum
Tuned with identical Bhaba
In the womb of a female
As a consequence grows up gradually.”20
(Bhabanubad)
