Just watch: five thousand years of human mind’s evolution — has it helped in any way to demystify existence? Existence has become far more mysterious than it has ever been before. Go back five thousand years: there was a limited number of stars, because by the bare naked eye you cannot count more than three thousand stars in the night. When the night is dark and full of stars and there are no clouds, at the most you can count three thousand stars, not more than that, by the bare naked eye. How many stars are there? Now they say, “We have counted three thousand billion stars. We used to see only three thousand, now there are three thousand billion stars. And this is not the end: this is just the beginning of the counting.”
The existence goes ON and on. There seems to be no possibility that it will be ending somewhere.
When the Vedic mystics looked at the sky, it was mysterious. When you look at the sky it is far more mysterious. Medic mystics will feel jealous of you — but you don’t look at the sky.
For thousands of years man believed that life, existence, consists of matter. Now physicists say there is no matter — all is energy. They have not been able to solve the mystery of matter. The mystery has become very deep. Now there is no matter — it is all energy.
And what is energy? Now, even to define it is becoming difficult — because it was possible to define it in contrast with matter. Now there is NO matter. How to define it? Definition is lost. It is there in its sheer mystery. And the efforts that have been made to define it have made it look even more mysterious.
If you go into modern physics, you will be surprised. Mystics look not so mysterious now — with all God and heaven and angels and souls, even then they don’t look so mysterious. The modern world of physics is far more mysterious, incomprehensibly mysterious. And the infinite space…
And Albert Einstein says it goes on expanding… into what? And he says, “We don’t know yet into
