We know only
tiny fragment of what is occurring in the world, an even smaller fragment of
the past, and have yet to witness the future. For every event there is a set of
conditions that were sufficient to produce it, otherwise it would not have
occurred. There is only one constant, one universal, It is the only real truth,
the causality, action- reaction, cause and effect, there is no escape from it.
When we look
at external objects, and consider the operation of causes we are never able, in
a single instance, to discover any power or necessary connection; any quality,
which binds the effect to the cause and renders the one an infallible
consequence of the other.
Human Mind
cannot grasp the whole complex web of cause and effect that is going around us
all the time. That’s why humans cannot predict the future events accurately.
But suppose
there is a Super Being, who has Mind more powerful than average human mind and
which can observe all the causes and
effects in a very short time and thus can predict the future precisely and
accurately.
Suppose this
Super Being is a Death Angel who has come to take the Life of a Beautiful lady
who is walking on a road, seems perfectly healthy and happy. Nothing is wrong
with her and no human being can imagine that this beautiful lady is soon going
to die. Death Angel sees his target, carefully notes all the details of her,
and began to calculate her future moves, He sees that his Target is interested
in buying some flowers; She picks some flowers of her choice and then enters
inside the shop for packing and payment of the flowers. Meanwhile the Death
Angel continues to study the environment all around his target. The traffic
light at the square is red. There is a bus coming towards the square. Death
Angel notices fruit vendor outside the flower shop and next to it a roadside
painter sitting with a cup of tea in his hand and busy in reading something. In
opposite to that painter on the road near the foot path is a Letter Box, and
near that letter box is a water leakage and water is standing on the road, whenever
a vehicle passes from near the Letter Box, water splashes and Letter box starts
to vibrate. A person is riding on a bicycle
and a cab is coming, within few moments the Death Angel completes his
calculation and places a pencil on the top of the letter box in a standing position.
Bicycle rider
is approaching at fast speed. Lady comes out from the shop with flowers in her
hand. She walks towards the square to reach at the crossing point. Cab passes from near the letter box, water
splash happens, and Letter box began to vibrate. Due to
this vibration the Pencil fells on the footpath in front of the painter.
Painter notices
this pencil, and bends towards it in order to pick it but at the same moment
the bicycle rider collides with him and a little accident happens, bicycle
rider fells on the fruits, and fruits fell and scatter on the foot path. People
gather there at the incident, some help the fruit vendor to pick the fruits,
some help the bicycle rider and some try to stop the argument between bicycle
rider and painter. During this time our Lady has reached near the crossing
point on the road, She also notices the bicycle rider incident, meanwhile the
Bus passes on the road, the Driver gets distracted by the gathering at the
accident spot, and fails to notice that traffic signal has changed. The Lady
began to cross the road, but the driver is distracted, he fails to notice the
signal and the Lady who is crossing the road. The lady gets hit by the bus and
dies on the spot. Death Angel finishes his job and goes away.
This is just
an example how the knowledge of causality can give immense power and control
over the flow of events. But this
requires a Mind which can observe the whole complex web of causality within few
moments. Right now no person or computer has such level of observation and
prediction skill. But we human beings are continuously trying to improve our
understandings regarding these processes. We know that we cannot fully understand
the whole causality web, but we can study the events of the past and can try to
find out the relation of those events with the present and then try to predict
the future.
But the
problem is that any prediction deteriorates rapidly. Errors and uncertainties
multiply within moments. A slightest error or little mistake in calculations is
enough to change the result of the Prediction.
This is the
biggest hurdle that stops the human beings to evolve into Super Beings.
