Today I want to talk to you about one of the grandest discoveries ever made and I want you to be aware of this completely
. Strange as it may this grandest discovery was the identification of the greatest flaw in the approach to higher truth. This secret is called the Architects Secret
The Architects Secret
Consider an example. An architect builds a wonderful mansion. Could this mansion be considered to be the greatest and the absolute best architectural expression of the builder? Would it help us to know everything about the builder?
The builder and the mansion are two different things. The mansion is only a fair representation of the architectural skills of the builder. Its by no means the absolute best because every representation is limited by the very resources or the means through which its developed or through which it finds expression. The resources which go into the making of the mansion- marbles, tiles, cement, and manpower act as a delimiting factor in representing the architectural brains of the builder. The mansion can reveal many qualities about the builder but it cant reveal everything because the mansion by its very nature is delimited by its very own resources.
In a similar way the secrets of the universe cant be found by observing and analyzing the various creations in this world. All observations and conclusions about this universe, grand as they might be, cant be considered to be an absolute authority about the architect of the universe. It could only be considered as a fair representation of truth. The universe and the architect of the universe are two different things. Matter and force through which the universe came into existence act as delimiting factors in representing the core essence of the architect of the universe; it cant be a means to know the ultimate truth. Creator cannot be known through his creation just as an artist cannot be known through his art You can only get a glimpse of reality through observing creation you cannot know it in entirety..
The ancient seers had established this fact long before even the word science came into existence.
If the universe cant reveal everything about the architect of the universe then what can? If matter and force, because of their delimiting nature, cant lead us to truth, then what can?

The resources used in the mansion become the cause for the delimitation of the Architect
Creator of the UniverseUniverse
The resources used for creation become the cause for delimitation of the creator. Matter and force are the delimiting factors and no matter how much you study and observe matter and force you cannot get in touch with the creator you can only get a glimpse of the creator
The Birth of Purusha (Soul)
After decades of endless research and having exhausted all their energies in trying to seek truth in the external world the ancient Hindu sages went back to their roots. They turned their gaze inwards. They closely observed the workings of every part of the body and found out that the intelligence of the body is borrowed from the mind. They then directed all their energies into understanding the mechanism of the mind. How does the mind generate thoughts? Why is the mind powerful at one time and weak at another? Why does the mind naturally gravitate outwards instead of inwards? Is the mind the source of its own intelligence? Does the mind die when the body dies?
It should be noted that these sages were ready to dismiss their own concepts which they had worked on for many long years. They had only one objective to discover that one thing through which the whole universe came into existence. And they were ready to sacrifice their entire life in this pursuit.
As time passed by more seers undertook this gigantic mission of discovering the truth. They found out that the mind cant be the source of its own intelligence because its vigorous at one time and weak at another. Anything which is subject to change cant be the source of its own intelligence. Its intelligence has got to be borrowed from something else.
In pursuit of this truth these sages sacrificed all their personal desires; they fasted and lived in caves. They breathed and lived with this idea of truth until finally one day a sage discovered the grandest secret That which became matter and force, which then became the sun and the moon, the stars and the planets, the trees and the animals, the air and water, earth and fire, mind and body, that one thing is the source of all intelligence. That one thing which fire cannot burn, the wind cannot dry, water cannot wet has its seat in every thing which pervades the universe. That one thing cannot be acted upon by anything. It is the source of all intelligence. He shines everything else shines
This one thing cant be touched, seen, or heard. It can only be acknowledged in the highest state of alertness and realization. The Hindu sages had discovered the ultimate unity --- that one thing from which everything else manifests. They named it the Purusha (soul).
Science is nothing but finding the unity. As soon as science would reach perfect unity, it would stop from further progress, because it would reach the goal. Thus chemistry could not progress farther when it would discover one element out of which all others could be made. Physics would stop when it would be able to fulfill its services in discovering one energy of which all the others are but manifestations, and the science of religion becomes perfect when it would discover Him who is the one life in a universe of death, Him who is the constant basis of an ever-changing world, One who is the only Soul of which all souls are but delusive manifestations. Thus is it, through multiplicity and duality that the ultimate unity is reached. The Hindu sages had discovered the grand truth- the ultimate unity the Purusha (soul) and could go no further. They had reached their goal.

As more true seekers discovered this elemental truth the question was put forth: How do ordinary beings living in the midst of worldly things perceive and live up to this transcending truth?
The ability to stay alert is the greatest secret weapon of achieving serenity and wisdom.
