Rocket technology and spiritual science
It is well known that a rocket that is launched is very heavy when on earth, with all the fuel, oxidiser, the payload, and the structure. But as it keeps going up, fuel and oxidiser keeps getting depleted. After a certain stage, even a part of the original rocket gets jettisoned, because it doesn't make any more sense to keep it any longer. It will only act as a dead weight, and impede further progress. This process continues till what remains is just the satellite or the spacecraft.
A man's spiritual progress is very similar. As he moves up, he keeps losing weight. Losing this a certain part of his initial weight is necessary to drive him up. There are also stages when one will have to forcefully throw off some weight, so that further progress is possible, and is not impeded due to the presence of a dead weight. In the end, what is delivered is just the soul, the Atman.

very lucid.
I don't knw whether this is in accordance with wht u said, but one other part of the analogy is the boosters at the initial stages. Strap-on smaller rockets. Often extremely crucial for the success of a mission. Just like a man needs crucial support in the initial stages of his life. And in a few decades, leaves the support behind to set out on his own....
Came here from Krishna's
Rightly said....
Sometimes, ego boosts and pride shimmers ...but after sometime.... it introits into ur head and 'that's' where it'll take u down.
In the end...it doesn't even matter.
p.s: U can also write a blog abt physicists and philosophers..... the intersection set is usually a large no. A v interesting fact to note.....
The ego, or in other words, the idea of the self, is also a weight.:)
An interesting thing here: What is the payload in case of spiritual science?
Ponder over that...:)
Payload? In which sense? :-?
U gen write only philosophical blogs or what? :)
