Mantras Influence the Primal Energies of Creation

We have already seen that mantras, being vibration waves of certain pattern, can interact with subatomic particles, which are also vibrations or energy of certain pattern. Mantra can influence subatomic particles.

What is matter made up of? Atoms or vibrations? If mantra can influence atoms or these vibrations, why won't mantra be able to influence all the atoms that make up an object sitting on top of a table, influence the gravitational force, the frictional force between the object and the surface of the table, and then make that lifeless object move? How can you say that this will not happen?

Tell me one thing. Take a scale. It is made of plastic. There are umpteen molecules in it. Each molecule is independent. What is holding all of them together in that particular shape? Is there some kind of glue between the molecules? No. It is an energy which is holding them together — all those molecules. If that energy is turned off, all those molecules will collapse and fly away from each other if a wind blows.

There is an energy which is active even in that apparently lifeless object. So how can you say that something is living and something is non-living? There is energy or prana in everything. Only its scope and nature varies.

This is why our sages found nothing wrong in praying to stones, praying to water, praying to air. What is it that makes a man alive? Prana, which is energy. What keeps the human body alive is thermal energy. That is why if that is turned off, the body becomes dead.

Is this energy superior to what holds the molecules together in a piece of stone? How can you say that? This is thermal energy, that is gravitational force or energy. If you can pray to Agni as God, then you can pray to stone also.

If you worship your Guru, who is in front of you only because there is thermal energy active in his body, then whom are you actually addressing? Isn't it that energy that you are addressing? Then why not worship an idol of your Guru after he is gone?

We are not talking about the concept of prana pratishta. We are talking about primal energies.

Our sages worshipped Surya because that is one form of energy. Our sages worshipped Vayu because that is another form of energy. There is Prana Sukta in Atharva Veda which is about this concept of energies.

At the time of creation, rishis under the supervision of Brahma used these primal energies to manifest the world. They are still running everywhere. They are very much active. Even the apparently lifeless objects are just these energies condensed, saturated.

These energies interact with each other, mix with each other, get into each other, envelop each other, repel each other — all these are possible. This is what the world is all about.

Then once Rudra turns off the main switch, the energies are gone.

So the world is like running a fan by sending electricity to it. And when you switch off electricity, it stops functioning. The only difference is that the material object called fan is also energy. So when Rudra switches off, even the object called fan will disappear.

Rishis created using mantras, which are vibrations and energies. The world is all about these active energies. That is the power of mantras. That is why, with mantras, you can manifest, you can influence, you can alter anything and everything.
