BRAHMAN - THE MOST UNIQUE GOD:
Brahman is the Hindu god of absolute facts. Therefore, anything about Brahman must be directly compatible with science. Therefore, there is absolutely no scope for beliefs and imaginations.
THE UNIFIED SKELETAL MUSCLE/ USM/ PURUSHA:
All the skeletal muscles of our body can isometrically contract (harden) and relax (soften) as though they were a single skeletal muscle. We can call it Unified Skeletal Muscle (USM). In Hinduism it is known as Purusha.
PURUSHA IN MANU SMRITI:
Purusha is the same as Brahman (Manu Smriti 1.11).
1. Purusha can be perceived with a special sense organ only/ like a skeletal muscle, Purusha can only be felt and can't be perceived with any other sense organ (Manu Smriti 1.7), Real (Isometrically contract towards a point within it) or Virtual (Isometrically contract towards a point outside it)
2. Purusha is like an idol (Manu Smriti 1.19) (Isometric contraction can't bring about any movement).
3. From Purusha spring seven very powerful Purushas (1.19). The Unified Skeletal Muscle/ Purusha can contract towards seven points along the midline of our body)
The seven points and the seven Purushas are,
1. Feet - Indra
2. Knees - Shakti
3. Hip - Brahma
4. Abdomen - Vishnu
5. Chest - Shiva
6. Neck - Shani
7. Head - Yama.
They are sensitive. (Small isometric manipulations of these Purushas bring about dramatic changes in our life).
4. Manu Smriti - 1.20.
The nature of each Purusha is a modification of the nature of the previous one.
Indra can keep us in a dream world. Shakti is a small modification of this. He can keep us in the real world and create an illusion of movement but like Indra can't bring about any movement.
Brahma is a modification of Shakti. Like Shakti, Brahma can't bring about movement. He can only keep showing different or better options. It is for this reason that Brahma is the god of knowledge.
Nature of each Purusha is eternally unique.
PURUSHA IN RIG VEDA:
1. 10. 90- 6.
Spring is his ghee, Summer is the firewood and autumn is the curd.
This actually means that in the beginning of an activity the power of the Purusha/ USM is very little (a few spoons of ghee). At its peak/ positive attitude, the power of USM is the maximum (firewood). At its lowest/ negative attitude the power source is like curd.
2.10.90-15.
Purusha is the source of seven weapons and seven kinds of energy.
The same is mentioned in Manu Smriti 1.19 and 1.20.
PURUSHA/ BRAHMAN IN UPANISHADS:
According to Brihadaranyaka Upanishad - 1.4.10, ' I am the supreme god' (Aham Brahmasmi'). This means that 'I' and the Brahman are one and the same.
This means that Brahman is something within us.
From all these we can conclude that,
Physically, Brahman is our skeletal muscular system, isometrically contracting and relaxing as a single unit.
