Going Beyond Creation
On 14 January 2004, Sri Chinmoy answered the following questions at a function held at the Hotel Padma Bali.Question: What happens when you stop your heart-beat, as you did once in the Ashram?
Sri Chinmoy: First of all, at that time there is no inner world, no outer world. At that time you have the feeling that the world is beyond what you imagine.
Now I am talking to you in this hall, which is so much larger than I am. We are only covering so much of the room – for 500 people. Another 200 people can be accommodated. But when you are in your highest meditation, you transcend the universe. The four corners of the globe have a limit, but the universe is unlimited.
When you realise God, it is a very high experience that does not want to be bound. Right now, you think your world is binding. But when you have access to the universe, then that universe is infinitely larger than that world. God is kind to you and says, “I created the world. I created the universe.” Although God is inside the world, inside the universe, God has the capacity to extend Himself. He is not bound. When we say the universe, it is unimaginable. When you are one with God’s Will, that boundary is a circle, but you go far beyond that.
When you stop your heartbeat, at that time you do not belong to this world, earth, or to Heaven. You belong to an inner creation, which is not manifested – God’s creation. You go beyond creation. When you do something with God’s Will, you have unlimited life-breath. I always laugh at the mind’s imagination or its preconceived terminology. It is a very vast field. You cannot see – it is so vast. The mind is unable to take you any farther. But once you have oneness with God’s Will, always God’s Will has the capacity to go beyond. There is no limit. It always goes beyond, beyond, beyond.
