...</title><content type='html'>Hi Manjushree,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ammunition for your mom...hmm..!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok! Leave aside Earth-Sun-Moon equations for a minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you drive a car...does your mind calculate or think about the force/torque required to turn the steering wheel, before turning it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you lift some heavy weight, do you calculate the force/torque it will apply on your spine, and compare that torque with the &amp;quot;yield stress&amp;quot; of the spine, in order to make sure the torque/force does not exceed the &amp;quot;yield stress&amp;quot; of your spine and break it??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course you don&amp;#39;t. Because this is how a machine would work. This is how a robot would do things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are life. You flow spontaneously. Using judgement, and experience - both are not mathematical and NOT reducible to numbers in any way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming to Sun-Moon-Earth equations -- they are not human, nor are they alive like we are - but they do not pre-calculate their trajectories/speeds around each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Science says there is a lot of precision in nature. That&amp;#39;s fine. Science uses numbers to map this precision. That is fine too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This precision that is seen in nature -- is the root cause of the assumption that nature is mathematical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But this precision - can be attained without numbers and mathematics. It is a QUALITY of nature. Non mathematical quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;#39;rules&amp;#39; that Sun-Moon-Earth follow...whatever they are, they are not laws of human physics and math. The EXACT nature of the interaction between the Sun and the Moon and the Earth...will never be known by the logical and mathematical approach. Because of the infinite nature of the interaction. Every little aspect of this cosmos is an &amp;quot;EXPLODING INFINITY&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have not finished reading &amp;quot;The Grasshopper&amp;#39;s Pilgrimage&amp;quot;. Will finish it this Saturday!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/6014113741233742770/comments/default/4618648330636995278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/6014113741233742770/comments/default/4618648330636995278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2009/10/infinite-microcosm-true-nature-of.html?showComment=1255031147058#c4618648330636995278' title=''/><author><name>Vikram Madan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07746619910081518146</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xVYF539E-BQ/SQ-dmaFPHnI/AAAAAAAAAAM/dCGJwgVpx1Q/S220/madmouth%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2009/10/infinite-microcosm-true-nature-of.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34295657.post-6014113741233742770' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/posts/default/6014113741233742770' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1199449368'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34295657.post-650691228863981691</id><published>2009-10-08T20:25:30.667+05:30</published><updated>2009-10-08T20:25:30.667+05:30</updated><title type='text'>I loved this post.
