The correct interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita

The correct interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita

[Last update: 16th August 2017]

Part 1 (12th August 2016)

I have read or studied the Bhagavad Gita several times not only in the German language but also in Tamil and also by various “authors / translators”. The Tamil version if translated directly from Sanskrit has more originality of the content compared to the original as it might not be possible in another language. If you have already translated texts into another language you will rather understand what I am talking about. The next to last sentence should not imply that I am powerful of Sanskrit but many terms are also part of the Tamil language. When I read the German version for example, I notice that this does not reflect the original content. There is also a temporal distance to the original. Unfortunately no one has ever succeeded in translating the Gita into our current time at the least not one of the translation / explanation / interpretation which I have already read or studied. We start with the issue of the caste system so that at last this is corrected. The caste system is nothing more than that it has classified the people in various fields of expertise. Please note that the focus is on the word expertise! It has always been usual in the Western and Eastern world as it was until recently or perhaps still partly exists that the knowledge of a family trade has always been transmitted from one generation to the next. God will never divide people into different classes so one can infer that some are less or more worth than the others. In this regard he will never differ culture, sex or other classifying features. He also does not differ between the different life-forms. Before I write more about the Gita or anything else I would like to set the record straight. As I already wrote in one of my posts, it is important that one is clear about concepts (definition of words).

Part 2 (14th August 2017)

Krishna as a charioteer for Arjunan in the battle at Kurukshetra. What other message does this action also have? The personification of God standing on the side of the good and at the same time symbolizes his action, the absolute truth about the action of God. He is the only guider in the entire universe and beyond. Here one should ask, what would happen with the chariot, if there are two or more charioteers. Then all the other questions about different Gods, especially in the Hinduism, where there are different4 Gods who have descended to earth, are superfluous. Perhaps one should understand which meanings these terms Kadavul (கடவுள்1), Iraivan (இறைவன்1), Pursuhan (புருஷன்1) etc. also have, then one will find out, that this is not to be confused with the highest (Lord), but nevertheless they still belongs to. This is not a contradiction. Here also the term Atma2 (ஆன்மா) helps to understand it better.

Regardless of the above reconnaissance, everyone in the Kali-Yuga should be aware that the wonderful personalities like Karnan or Bheesmha had to leave their lives in the battle for Kurukshetra just because they were on the side of evil3. They will all be back in the Kali-Yuga, but those who are exiled in the Kali-Yuga will not experience rebirths, only the infinite suffering for the infinity. This is an important message!

Part 3 (16th August 2017, Divine intervention and fate)

In our B2B-era, the understanding of fate has fallen into forgetfulness. Most of the people thinks first on actions of some caused by mechanization rather than the divine intervention. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a good explanation even in the Hindu scriptures5, so I will explain this in detail.

Unfortunately, many still misunderstand it, even many authors who has dealt with Hinduism have not understood this correctly. Fate is not equated with the term determinism. There is also a passage (see point 2) in the Gita that indirectly has to do with fate, which also needs an explanation.

Fate is explained by Hinduism as follows: Fate is caused by one own’s actions (karma). Karma are all acts from one’s earlier births up to the current hour. This, in turn, means that it opens or closes the paths for future events. In other words, there are certain degrees of freedom. One can look at the technical definition of the word degrees of freedom, and then apply it to fate, then one will find that fate should be not confused with determinism. Determinism forces an intelligent being, like the human beings, to have no free will, but this is not the case. Of course, people are manipulated in our new B2B-era by mechanization so that it has only the appearance of a free will – but this is a separate topic.

The devilish intervention in the free will, will not be relevant for the filtering in the Kali-Yuga, similar to the legal law. Whether someone pushes (kills) someone into death just because someone is mentally ill, is necessary for the weighting of the punishment through the legal law, but one will nevertheless have to pay for that actions. Likewise, the filtering in the Kali-Yuga will be. The weighting takes place only in the hell. The deep-frying before is only a pre-taste and for posterity.

Point 2: In the Gita, Krishna tells that he (personification of God) is the driving force in everything and everyone. Now many ask one selves when he is the driving force, how can the devil exist? This is not a contradiction, it is a confirmation of the existing degrees of freedom and its resulting free will. Even in the devilish, God will be the driving force in which he partly sets signs in the free actions of the devils and their helpers, without this being neither conscious nor beneficial for them. No, the opposite is the case. The end for the devils and their helpers is sealed. Any action or the non-action makes it only worse and speeds up the reaching of the end.

Another interesting thing from Hinduism. In the early time, there were some ascetics, who could go through walls6. Now one or the other will start to laugh. No, there is no reason for that. Anyone who has dealt with physics7 and probability theory knows that this possibility physically exists in the probability space – but this in turn is a separate topic. One must understand what atoms and their further segmentations are in the microscopic world of quantum, then one will soon find out that even a solid matter is not really solid 😉.

Footnote

1 Unfortunately, the definition in the wiktionary is not complete. I have not found an online dictionary (அகராதி) yet, where it is complete.

2 The section “early Buddhism” in the article about Atma does not correspond to the real historical course. Many interpretations were adapted over the time by people, partly as it was right to them (mostly in a egocentric view). This was the case in all religions, because religions in those times had particularly the function to serve the cohesion of a society, just like a constitution of a constitutional democracy has now assumed the role in the time of modernity.

3 Don’t confuse this context, with the contexts in my other articles.

4 In Hinduism, the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva) seem to be divided at first sight in their function. Shiva and Vishnu are identical. This is also the case in the Vedas. The different names (and their functions) are used as synonyms, and the naming of HariHara illustrates this best. Brahma was the first being, symbolized by the umbilical cord. Brahma was sprouted from the umbilical cordus Vishnu’s (≡ Shiva’s). It should be clear to everyone that one first must create the administration (Brahma, Devar, etc.) before one create the rest, up to the simple people. Murugan is identical to Shiva, as is with Vinayaghar. Lastly, Shakthi (or Parvathy), the better half of Shivas. Shakthi is part of Shivas, so there is only one source, namely Shiva (≡ Vishnu).

5 With scriptures I do not mean directly the scriptures like the Gita or the Vedas, only the interpretations and commentaries that such a work needs, so that it can be understood by everyone.

7 At the age of 12/13 years, I originally wanted to study physics to become an astronaut. This was the motivation why I had already dealt with physics and astrophysics in the early years.

Disarming the contradiction of the halting problem

Disarming the contradiction of the halting problem

[Last Update: 28th November 2018]

My daughter Dhivyah recently asked me (July / August 2016) if the current development of the artificial intelligence is similar to the human intelligence. This has motivated me to write about a problem in computability theory the so-called halting problem.

Many computer scientists knows the holding problem from the theoretical computer science lecture. It says that there is a universal program that decides for all possible programs in the world whether the program will terminate from running or continue to run forever. Because the universal program have to decide for all programs, it also have to decide about itself if it holds or not. This leads to a contradiction.

Clarification of the contradiction

If the universal program has to decide about itself that it will not halt then the universal program has to terminate. This is a contradiction.

Mathematical formulation of the halting problem

∀x∈X ∃y∈X ∶ x → halt = yes / no
(X = Set of all possible programs); (y = universal program)

[The mathematical expression (two lines) reads as follow:]
For all element x from the set X there exist a y from the set X so that should be checked if x halts or not. Capital letter “X” is the set of all possible programs, small letter “y” is the universal program which have to verify or falsify. The small letter “x” is one of the program from the set “X“.

How can we eliminate this contradiction or disarm it?

Solution / disarming

By simply forbidding that the Universal program does not have to decide about itself.

Addendum: 28th November 2018

The analogy of my approach or solution is similar to that of the Russell’s antinomy or barber paradox. One has tried to eliminate the paradox contained in the naive set theory through axiomatization. One of the most well-known axiomatization in modern mathematics was the Zermelo-Fraenkel Set Theory with axiom of choice (ZFC).

Mathematical formulation of disarming

∀x∈X’ ∃y∉X’ ∶ x → halt = yes / no
(Equivalent formulation: ∀x∈X’ ∃y∈X ∶ x → halt = yes/ no)
(X’ = Set of all possible programs without y); (y = universal program; y∉X’ and y∈X, X’ ⊂ X)

[The same as above in “Mathematical formulation of the halting problem” with two exceptions: ∉ stands for “not element of” and ⊂ stands for “strict subset of“;  X’ is strict subset of X]

How powerful are the two sets X and X’ ? X’ is the new set, except that it does not contain the universal program y.

The answer is analogous to the decision of countability of the set of natural numbers. The set of natural numbers is infinite but still countable! How large is the new set of natural numbers when you take one element out of the set? Still infinite?

Conclusion

Now try to transfer the knowledge obtained here to the subject of artificial intelligence, then you know how powerful the artificial intelligence can be or is unofficially.

Here are some “official” computer science topics. The focus is on the term “official“:

Side note

Imagine there would be no wars in this world. Most of the wars/civil wars are on militarily important strategy points. What a coincidence 😉 ?

Not everything that one can formulate in mathematics is a projection of the reality or is physically possible. In physics there is an upper limit, see my article “The Infinite Creator’s power and the limited technical power/science”.

Moore’s law

What often wrongly interpreted (also by many professors) is the well-known “law” of Moore. Moore was the co-founder of Intel. The word “law” is totally misleading. It is not a law, only pure calculus – economic calculation!

It is also the case that many scientific achievements haven’t been presented officially to the world. You can connect this with my sentence from “Side note: Imagine there would be no wars in this world.” This push the whole thing into a new dimension of information. Please note also that there are more than one truth. This new dimension is one of many! One of the thing is also that if you present all the scientific achievements at once, you can’t reach the maximum profit. I am referring for the first time on harmless achievements. This is one of the reason why not all countries in this world had the same chance to reach wealth – without wars/civil wars, conflicts, knowledge hiding, corruption, terror, organised crime etc.!

You can make more profit if you artificially stifle the countries of the world and slowly awake one after the other. This is the only way to control the money and power cycle.

Shiva’s Rudra Thandavam (சிவனின் உருத்திர தாண்டவம்)

What happens all over the world is called Shiva's Rudra Thandavam. Thandavam means dancing, but not a normal dance, it is an angry destructive dance. If the dance had lasted longer with the same intensity, everything would have been destroyed. His third eye would have opened and the whole universe were swallowed up. The time for the union of Parvathy and Shiva has come now - only in this way can the Rudra Thandavam end.
