A Trip to Infinity!
Transcript:
One of my friends, Samaravir Minhas, he asked me to watch this documentary called A Trip to Infinity. It's on Netflix. So I downloaded it and I watched it on one of my flights — a very informative documentary. I suggest you watch it.
In there, there's a physicist called Alan Lightman, who shares his experience — that he realized that the universe is now expanding faster today than it was expanding in the past, which means over time, things are going to go further and further and further away, apart from each other. And then the universe is going to undergo what is called thermal death. It means that the source of energy is moving so far away that, eventually, there is not enough energy left for life to sustain.
And then he says, when he realized that, he realized nothing matters. Everything is going to fizzle out anyway, so nothing matters — except when he fell in love. And when he fell in love, it transitioned from ""nothing matters"" to ""everything matters."" It's amazing.
This is exactly what he said in the Bhakti Sutras. The Narada Bhakti Sutra says the same thing. Love is the fundamental core of our existence. When you're in love, everything matters; otherwise, nothing matters.
It's brilliant — physics, spirituality, parallel lines, taking us to infinity. Wonderful journey. Bye.
