Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality QUOTES

Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality QUOTES

1 " Divinity is born from neural processes, not some Supreme Entity. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

2 " A true religious person should not think that “my religion alone is the right path and other religions are false.” Other religions are also so many paths leading to the same domain of transcendental bliss. Likewise, no person should think “my perception of the reality is the only absolute reality, and all others’ are false”, because each human brain has its own unique way of perceiving the reality. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

3 " I am like the H2O in a lake. Some drink it at one place and call it “water”, others at another place and call it “jal”, and some others at a third place and call it “pani”. The Christians call it “water”, the Hindus “jal”, and the Muslims ”pani”. But it is one and the same thing. I am not tied to the doctrines of any church, synagogue, temple or mosque, yet I am the reason of their birth. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

4 " Your spiritual goals can be as numerous as there are stars in the sky. And so can be your religions. But in all your vivid and diverse paths of practicing religion and spirituality, there is one very common and simple element that knows no bounds. That element is the eternal bliss that enables you to attain unimaginable feats of excellence. It is not tied to any scripture of yours, yet it is in every scripture of yours. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

5 " I (God) am only a part of your own human consciousness, but a really bizarre part. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

6 " The dangerous enemies of your species are fundamentalism, intolerance, separatism, extremism, hostility and prejudicial fear, be it religious, atheistic or political. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

7 " Just for a second, think, how mysteriously vast the universe is! And you the humans exist only in a tiny fraction of that vastness. You’d realize how insignificant you are if you compare yourself with the vastness of the universe. Your universe is everything that is out there. Your little 3 pound brain has access to only a microscopic percentage of that unfathomable everything. You childishly boast your greatness as a so-called advanced species while you only see a very small strip of what’s really going on in the universe. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

8 " Each of your brains creates its own myth about the universe. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

9 " Water and a bubble on it are one and the same. The bubble has its birth in the water, floats on it, and is ultimately resolved into it. Likewise, your consciousness is born in your brain, goes through various states in your lifetime and ultimately resolves into the brain. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

10 " You are not even seeing most of what's going on in the universe. On top of that, your brain filters out much of what it receives from the environment. So that what you are consciously aware of is only a fractional representation of your universe. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

11 " The society terms the varied paths of achieving the divine bliss as religion. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

12 " It doesn’t matter whether you face the wall, the sky or the ground. It doesn’t matter what is your body posture while you are praying to God. It doesn’t matter whether you sit in a lotus position, or a bogus position, neither does it bother God whether your palms are joined together, or your arms wide open. God would still answer your prayers, not because he/she loves you all as his/her children, rather because you believe that God does. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

13 " Every brain on your planet generates its own beliefs. Just imagine, around seven billion human brains are generating seven billion unique beliefs at this very moment. Now imagine, what would happen, if all those seven billion humans start imposing their own beliefs on each other. The only thing that is going to come out of such inhuman attempt is chaos and eventually mass extinction. So, the only way to avoid such a catastrophic consequence is to be more compassionate about people’s beliefs. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

14 " Usually, when people hear the term Yoga, many of them associate it with various physical exercises where they need to twist, turn and stretch their body in complex ways that are known as Asanas, but this is only one type of Yoga, called “Hatha-Yoga”. In reality, Yoga is an umbrella term for various physical and mental exercises that lead to the overall well-being of a person.
By origin, Yoga has mainly five forms:
1. Raja Yoga - The realization of divinity through intense meditation
2. Karma Yoga – The realization of divine bliss through your own daily activities and duties
3. Hatha Yoga – The realization of divine well-being through various physical exercises
4. Jyana Yoga – The realization of inexplicable bliss in the pursuit of knowledge
5. Bhakti Yoga – The realization of ecstasy through love and devotion for your Personal God
The purpose of all Yogas is to set your consciousness lose into the vast domain of the unknown, where your brain circuits simulate various fascinating mental states that are usually unimaginable and unattainable in your everyday consciousness. But the whole yoga thing has nothing to do with God or something of that sort. It is all about various states of the human mind. "

15 " Each of the sapiens brains generates its own perception of God in uniquely different ways. Ergo, it imposes different qualities of meaning and value on God. You see God the way your brain wants you to see it. There is no right and wrong, or fact and fiction on this matter. It is all personal. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

16 " A true religious person should not think that “my religion alone is the right path and other religions are false.” Other religions are also so many paths leading to the same domain of transcendental bliss. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

17 " A belief is your brain’s self-maintenance mechanism. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

18 " Despertar en el estado de Dios hace que todas las limitaciones percepción de la mente desaparezcan, al igual que un cubo de agua turbia se vuelve cristalina una vez que se vierte en el océano. "

― Abhijit Naskar , Autobiography of God: Biopsy of A Cognitive Reality

19 " Often your brain makes you believe, what you see is truly real, even when it is not. "
