The marvelous and vast universe consists of mostly matter and space and a lot of it is known and understood by scientists of the world today. What is not known is the opposite of matter. We may call it antimatter . But what exactly is that anti-matter is not yet known to man. Scientists are totally baffled and are tirelessly in pursuit of this antimatter. It may be some thing which is not tangible, an intangible form of etenity which is exactly the opposite stste of matter. As matter is tangible, its opposite may just be the intangible. It may be universal consciousness, that consciousness of which human consciousness may be a fractional existence. Ifwe can satisfy our mind like we satisfy our body by fulfilling its desires then may be we can possibly know the intangible Eternity. The intangible mind can only be satisfied by the intsngible Eternal Truth. Try as hard as man may but there is no substitute for this.
Our focus in our life -time is only on matter or material that we observe. We do not or rather cannot focus on something that is not perceptible by us. Our senses perceive the observed worved world. So we rely on these senses to satisfy our material needs and desires which in totality are only ephemeral. Our senses are incapable of perceiving the unobserved like magnetism/ gravity and even the nuclear force of our star, the sun, less so another person's thought which emanates from the mind.
To meditate on the Lord is an extremely difficult proposition. How to foucus on something which is formless and intangible? Lt either requires a mind which will ont wonder or else the mind needs a tangible creator to look upto it as a path-finder to the Formless One . The thought of a formless God does not arise eaisly in man .He want to be guided by a tangible creator to assist him in his quest for the lmmortal One.
Man is so bewildered by the creation that he sees arount that he either, out of frustration, surrenders to the Lord or desperately uses all the means consciousness can provide to understand the source of creation. Those who surrender choose the simpler path. Those who don't have chosen the arduous path for the search of the Creator. The latter want first of all a tangible substitute that would be a path-finder and can act as a catalyst in their quest of the Original One , the first Awareness, the intengible Creator .
The closest substitute that one can get is one's parents who are the nearest creators . The parents are the ones who are directly involved in one's coming into this world. At a young tender age one knows only one's parents ant loves and stays cloas to the perents and never at any moment wants to dreak away, not even temporarily . Even later in life when one has grown up to be strong and sturdy one still does not break the bond with one's parents permanently. Attachment and love for the parents live on till their departure from this world , One is never permanently removed from one's parents as long as long as theh live. Even if one's parents live separately or elsewhre in na distant town one is emotionllly attached and communicatinn is maintained till death does them part.
Why is this so? Why should anyone carry on living emotionally attached to one's parents even when one is living in a distant town far far away from one's parents. lt is because they have created him. the bond is provided by nature in such a manner that it is never broken. Nature has resorted to this not for any other reason but to indicate to man that as one is attached to one's nearest creator, one's parents, so hsould one also be attached to the Eternal Creator. This deep bonding between man and his parents is a profound example of nature's method of communicating its nitent to man .
Nature wants man to understand that he should bond hinselp with the Creator as he bonds himself with his parents. The way to bond with the Creator is to love Him and meditate on Him even though he is formless and intangible. The intangible is made tangible by portraying Him in man's parents. lt is a wake-up call for man from his slumber to see beyond the tangibl creator and understand nature's intent. The evolutionary process has adopted a method where parents become the path-finder and are a signla for man to understand that the creative force does not begin with his parents but is itself a source of noe's parent's existence, and one's parents's parents existence, and one's pparent's partent's parents existence and so on till we go back in a reverse evolutionary direction to the Original One , the crertive force, the intangible Father .
Nature's design of creating man in a fashion where the father's seed is the source fo his offspring is an indication for man to understand that his father is the nearest creator, the tan gible creator who can be physically loved, admirde and respected. The absence of love or respect for the father by the son does not alter or lessen the sta tus of the father. He still remains the creator, due to whom the son has come into this world. This orle of the father as the creator is part of the greater design of nature to portiay the father as a symbol that would arouse man to look for the Eternal One,the intangible Father.

The natural evolutionary process has placed the father at a pedestal from where he showers love, affection, security on the family and is olso the provider of materials needs. Nature's creation has worked to show the way to mankind through the tangible father to believe in the existence of the in tangible father, the provider of everything. Any disregard or disbelief in this does not change the status of the Creator. He still remains the Eternal Creator and does not come down from that pedestal.
