The Circle of Ignorance.

The Geometry of Relationships.

The Fourth Angle / Angel.

For the reasons unknown, or because of the circumstances and situations, in the beginning of my school education, when  I was in the classes of the primary and the secondary school, I studied in Hindi Medium. I always liked Hindi and I was good in English also, but English could never become my favorite language of communication because of the obvious reasons.

This question of Hindi or English was a really a big bug in those days of school education, and I also enjoyed this much. However, The Sanskrit was also there as the Third optional language one has to study. One reason behind this education policy of the Government was the three language formula. I still favour it.

In different states of our country it is the only acceptable way that all may agree.

Here I'm not going about this in details.

So I had Sanskrit as the elementary and introductory level language English as yet another main choice and Hindi was the major one and the medium of study.

In Mathematics There were Arithmatic, Algebra and Geometry, and this in Hindi were अंकगणित, बीजगणित, and ज्यामिति .

So I felt that the origin and source of all knowledge was Sanskrit / संस्कृत.

I also felt that Sanskrit and Veda  /  वेद and "knowledge" might be the same and somewhat / somehow synonymous too.

Through intuition and insight, I could also feel that my inclinations, interests, likes and dislikes were much different than those of all the others, even those in my own family - not only my siblings but my parents as well. Though now only I can understand why I was born in this family. The only evident reason for this was in this way I could connect myself with my 

Bharadvajaa Gotra / भारद्वाज गोत्र

Now I can well understand how the

D.N.A. is the only link that maintains the Gotra / गोत्र - ऋषि परंपरा  through and from one to the next birth.

On the other hand though the 'religion' may be another reason why one is born in whatever traditional set-up, it affects the life accordingly in another way.The spiritual progress of the person or the soul is not obstructed because of this in any way.

The pertinent question here is :

Who exactly is the person / soul / spirit / the individual who has to go on through this cycles of repeating birth, death and reincarnation?

The  obvious and the plain truth is :

The Ignorance.

One "Who" is "born" is ignorant of this whole phenomenon.

There are two angles to this 

Ignorance

One is : Why and How,

Another is Who?

While studying Geometry I came across the Geometrical concept of the :

In-centre and Ex-centre of a triangle.

As the medium of my study was Hindi, I had the words

अन्तःकेन्द्र and बहिःकेन्द्र

respectively for the words :

In-centre and the Ex-centre.

While in Hindi,  we used two different words to differentiate between two types of triangles i.e. त्रिभुज and त्रिकोण, We had yet another approach to the concept of : In-centre and Ex-centre.

By way of reference, let me explain how the In-centre and Ex-centre is defined.

For example in a 🔺 we can construct two different circles - one passing through the three vertices of the triangle and another  that passes through the 3 mid-points of the three sides of this 🔺. 

The analogy and the Algorithm.

I intuitively and through the insight felt that the physical body, the mind and the world could be the three vertices of the triangle referred to here, and there is a centre that we can see as the In-centre and with it there is also an Ex-centre in this triangle.

If I'm not wrong, the two - namely the In-centre and the Ex-centre may or may not always coincide. I leave it here as this.

Then we can also think of those so many innumerable circles that are beyond both these two circles - that passes through the vertices or through the mid-points of the 3 sides of the triangle.

The Person  / soul / spirit / individual is the Sense of the "self" / consciousness.

In the same way again, we could define that there is a Great Circle, the Whole and it's centre as well, where-in all the infinite and innumerable circles and their centres are located. In comparison to the individual we can call it The God.

However, the nature and the reality of the relationship between this assumed  God and the individual is uncertain and ambiguous too, just because it is quite hypothetical.

I could say this has been always for me :

The Geometry of the Spiritual.
