The Cosmic Fabric

What is a fabric or a costume or a fashion ? Names, colours, texture, design changes but the soul remains the same. Just like the primordial mycelium network expanding, communicating and covering the whole earth like a carpet, the grass that covers the bare rocks and decorating them with its green design.

The rich canopy of rainforest makes the earth green. Still there remain vast open spaces yet to be covered by them. There comes the snow and sand covering High mountains and deserts that echo ancient voices of the cosmos; so does the vast ocean with the water. The fabric is still there even if we can’t see.

Even the cosmos is covered by a fabric of Time and Space. Way beyond our imagination but it started with one Bindu that bursted into the infinite possibilities and colours stretching continuously. 

Comparing with that fabric our’s is also a universe in itself. As the popular saying goes

"यत् पिंडे तद् ब्रह्माण्डे" Whatever is in the body is also out there into the cosmos. Still we judge people by the fabric, its colours, and design. We separate them from our group, gender, caste, religion, nation completely ignoring that beyond the superficial differences the thread is made of the same material. The same goes to our skin, flesh, bone, and blood. 

What is the difference between what we wear or covered with it? Everything is connected somewhere somehow and communicating with the other instantaneously. The Leela of Chaitanya plays with itself in many ways.

Fabric that was the necessity later on became the luxury, expression of art, choice, social status, sign of a societal rank, culture, celebrated for  spiritual significance to some and shunned by some for their association with dark magic.

The association of good and bad with the fabric was given by the societies over the centuries that was glued into the human minds like a wax or oil on cloth which stays for longer duration even after washing it so many times.

But in cosmic memory the fabric is way beyond that. It need not require our validation or association. The flesh, bone, blood, earth, water, fire are all the cosmic fabric in their unique ways that takes part into the divine play.

Each cell, grain of sand or a particle of an atom are made none other than the part of the almighty only. So by that logic everything is divine. How can things be pure and impure when everything is almighty's design ? Because it’s a construct of human convenience. 

What is good or bad when everything is just one ? The black from where all colour emerges, the red that flows with the life force and the white where all merges ?

Everything is just light perceived as per our limited vision. The fabric from cotton to flesh, to blood, bone, wood, water or fire. Ultimately we are the fabric and life force mistaking ourselves separate from each other.
