MIND, MATTER AND GOD : JIVA, JADA AND ISVARA
M.M.NINAN
This is a key issue in terms of the nature of the universe: a space-time singularity is a
dramatic affair, where the universe (space, time, matter) has a beginning and all of
physics breaks down and so the ability to understand what happens on a
scientific basis comes to an end.’
The next major step didn’t take place until roughly 300,000 years after the Big Bang,
when the universe had cooled to a not-quite comfortable 3000 degrees. At this
temperature, electrons could combine with atomic nuclei to form neutral atoms. With no
free electrons left to scatter photons of light, the universe became transparent to
radiation. (It is this light that we see today as the cosmic background radiation.) Stars
and galaxies began to form about one billion years following the Big Bang, and since
then the universe has simply continued to grow larger and cooler, creating conditions
conducive to life as we know of, on earth. If we assume the materialistic monism, life
and consciousness evolved from matter under proper conditions.
What is this singularity? How did it come about? What about God? Creation took
place outside of the natural realm. Since this universe had a beginning, Was God the
"First Cause"?
The original Brahaman itself is a singularity as it is beyond description and laws at least
to human reason and logic.
