Translation .
When the mind is fixed upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His external feature made of the material modes of nature — the gross universal form — it is brought to the platform of pure goodness. In that transcendental position, one can understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, who in His subtler form is self-effulgent and beyond the modes of nature. O my lord, please describe vividly how that form, which covers the entire universe, is perceived.
This Verse from Srimad Bhagavatam 5.16.3. indicates that by seeing the universe as it is , meaning as its objectively observed scientifically . Its a place where inexplicable precise laws of nature are present as constants , if they were not, nothing would be able to be maintained . These are gravity, electromagnetism, a strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear forces that are the basis of all interactions in the universe and operate within all the species , at different scales. It’s also a place where unlimited information within the genome, i.e., dna codes that are responsible for body assemblies of every single species of life with precise and fine engineering beyond the comprehension of our greatest engineers or computer modellers could ever conceive of .
“The number of possible DNA combinations within a species is so extraordinarily large that it is effectively considered
innumerable or near-infinite in practical terms, even though the total number of theoretically possible sequences is finite.
Here is a breakdown of the possibilities:
- Human Example: The human genome has approximately 3 billion base pairs. Since there are four possible nucleotide bases (A, T, C, G) at each position, the raw mathematical possibilities for a single genome is
43,000,000,0004 raised to the 3 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 power43,000,000,000, a number that far exceeds the estimated number of atoms in the known universe.”
Richard Dawkins, Lee Cronin and many scientists who follow scientific materialism admit to this information and obvious precision within the universe from macro universes to the microbial world and their advice is , ignore the impression of design and order , Nyaya logic and common sense tells us , if we see smoke in distant hills we know there is fire , if we see information we know it originates from consciousness, a personality.
So part of the process for advancing in God consciousness is to see God in nature and to meditate and reflect upon this aspect of Divinity, His universal form . From those types of meditations and appreciations, greater understanding and insights towards Divinity will come about . The Vedas call this further progression Paramatma realisation, and then through further appreciation and acceptance of Divinity and his innumerable energies and forms , The Supreme Personality of Godhead can begin to be approached , everything centres around appreciation and devotion and ends in pure love as relationships begin to fructify .Is that not how life works?
The Srimad Bhagavatam brings us the full range of observed sciences of God in numerous ways , as well as the psychology of devotion from its very beginnings to its pure states called Bhava and Prema Bhakti .
Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami has introduced this Srimad Bhagavatam to the whole world under the order of his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja an exceptional scholar in his own right . Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami also set up the Bhaktivedanta Institute , a scientific wing of ISKCON.
