I have talked to you that in English there is no word which can translate dhan there are three words first is concentration which is the lowest it means focusing your mind on one thing or one thought it is useful
in science in fact without concentration there will be no science at all science is the byproduct of concentration the second word in English is contemplation which is higher than concentration contemplation means thinking about a certain subject matter not a single thought but a stream of a certain subject matter confined to the same subject matter for example somebody is thinking about light then he goes on thinking about light speed its division in seven colors and all its possibilities the whole physics of light philosophy arises out of contemplation just as science arises out of concentration and the third word in English is meditation which is the highest but still it is not an equivalent to dana or the Chinese chan or the Japanese zen which are different pronunciations of the Sanskrit word dhana dana means no mind in concentration mind concentrates in contemplation mind contemplates in meditation mind meditates but in dhan mind simply disappears there is a silence beyond the mind.
God does not exist I know for sure he does not exist. And thank God that he does not exist because the existence of God would have created so many problems difficulties that life would have been almost impossible. You may not have looked from this angle from which I am going to talk to you perhaps nobody has ever tried to look at it from this angle. The Christians say God created the world.
In fact, the hypothesis of God is needed for the creation. The world is there somebody must have created it. Whoever created it that creator is God. But do you see the implication? If the world is created then there can be no evolution. Evolution means that creation continues. Think of the Christian story, God created the world in six days and then on the seventh day he rested, since then he has been resting The whole creation was completed in six days. Now, from where evolution can have a possibility?
Creation means: finished! the full stop has arrived. On the sixth day the full stop; and after that there is no possibility of evolution. Evolution implies that creation is not complete hence the possibility of evolving. But God cannot create an incomplete world; that will be going against God’s nature. He is perfect and whatsoever he does is perfect neither he is evolving, nor the world is evolving everything is at a standstill, dead.
This is the reason why the popes were against Charles Darwin because that man was bringing in an idea which is going to kill God sooner or later. Those popes were perceptive in a way they could see the faraway implications of the idea of evolution. Ordinarily you would not connect creation and evolution. What connection is there God and Charles Darwin? There is a connection. Charles Darwin is saying that the creation is an ongoing process that existence is always imperfect it is never going to be perfect. Only then it can go on evolving reaching new peaks, new dimensions, opening new doors, new possibilities. God had finished his work in six days and not long ago four thousand and four years before Jesus Christ was born. It must have been first of January, a Monday because we manage to fit God into everything that we have created. He has to follow our calendar If you ask me.
I will say it must have been Monday, the first of April, the Fools’ Day, because that day seems to be absolutely suitable for doing such an act of creating a complete ready-made existence. If evolution becomes impossible, life loses all meaning.
