Before the Big Bang

Before the Big Bang

"When there was neither aught nor naught
When darkness was rolling over darkness
What existed ?
It the eternal one...
then existed without motion."
--- Veda
(Ref: Swami Vivekananda)
(Questions)
Don't we want to ask questions ?
Can't we simply wonder
without conclusion ?
Do we need answer for every question ?
Is there an answer for every question ?
Is the answer away from the question ?
Is it enough to understand the question ?

Was there a Big Bang ?
Was there a beginning at all ?
From where came this material ?
Is there a Brahman ?
What is consciousness ?
What is creation ?
Does the universe really exist at all ?
Is the universe an illusion ?

What is pain ?
What is suffering ?
What is happiness ?

What is perception ?
What is desire ?
What is fear ?
What is Love ?

Is there an answer for everything...
word for word...?

Is there an answer in Silence ?
What is silence ?
Is it different from sound ?
Is there sound in silence ?
Is there silence in sound ?

What is death ?
What is sleep ?

Does thought create the thinker ?
Does the thinker in turn invent everything ?
Can't the thinker discover he can't invent
anything without thoughts ?

How does thought arise ?
What is thinking ?
What is thought ?

What is life ?
What is pleasure ?
What is sex ?
What is orgasm ?
What is procreation ?
What is it that continues by procreation ?
What is the self ?

What is intelligence ?
What is compassion ?

Does consciousness emanate from matter ?
What is material nature ?
Is there evolution of consciousness ?
Or does consciousness create matter ?

Are these questions endless ?
What are we to do then ?
Shall we merely love
each other and be simple ?

Is there only nothing ?
Or is there something ?
Is there nothing in everything ?
Is there everything in nothing ?

"Happy is the being who is nothing"
