Characteristics of Creation

03/29/10

'No two in this world are alike. It is a fact.         

A veritable characteristic of Creation.         

Think not that there is anyone who thinks and speaks,          

behaves and acts, exactly the way YOU do'                                             

(Spring Leaves   KMG)  

Well, the world is like that, the people are like that, as stated above. Perhaps that is how the Master-Planner intended His Creation to be !Whatever it be, the five chief characteristics of Creation i.e.,this world, are:1. Uncertainty   2. Unpredictability   3. Imperfection   4. Impermanence  and 5. Diversity (UUIID  for easy remembrance!). Now, let me elaborate on these:          

1. Uncertainty:  'Anything can happen to anyone or anything anytime anywhere'. So goes the saying, indicating the ever existing uncertainty of anything. Aristedis a Greek philosopher is said to have confessed; 'I am certain of nothing. I am not even certain that I am certain of nothing !'What a glorious uncertainty !         

2. Unpredictability: Though gullible people are vulnerable enuf to believe predictions of the future by whosoever it be, there is no certainty of their occurence. I would even say that the very beauty and thrill of life would vanish, if you were to know your future. The Creator perhaps foresaw that !         

3. Imperfection: This is another stamp on Creation. Nothing is perfect in this ever-changing world. In the realm of Relativity, imperfection alone rules. Perfection or 'Poornatva' is prerogative of only the Absolute, the One without a second, the Bhagawat Tattva alone.          

4. Impermanence: Anything that is observed in the external world, or anything felt or thought ( as an individual's subjective experience) is notpermanent. Anything that has a beginning, has to have an end. The unborn alone is undying and eternal. That can only be the Fundamental Cause, Omnipresent.          

5. Diversity: In this world's myriads of things and beings, no two types or individuals, nor even ideas and thoughts, are identical, signifying the incredible diversity in the Creation, in the objective as well as the subjective spheres. This is the very primary, fundamental property of Creation itself.

If there be a proper understanding and assimilation of the above, and if one's approaches and attitudes be accordingly oriented, then, there is a better likelihood of having less problems and tensions in life, and more scope for serenity, peace of mind, and happiness.
