It is seldom that a human sees oneself as a small fraction of the infinite whole. Obviously, if we study our genomes, we will see similar DNA molecules and gene pools.
We cannot forget our ancestry, which probably has given us our drives, the substance for our dreams.
Our ancestry is like our shadow. We cannot prosper and achieve success if we forget our roots and if we are afraid of our shadows. For, we are people of the New Jerusalem — who are the seed of Lord Sanat Kumara. As Mark Twain rightly said that, "India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend and the great grandmother of tradition".
The original name of India is Bharata ('Bha' means light and 'Rata' means absorbed) which means the motherland where people have opportunity and privilege to be absorbed into 'the Light of Truth'. This journey is certainly a scientific exploration of the mystical paths traversed by our ancestors in search of this ‘Light of Truth’, some of whom were gurus, saints, monks, yogis and spiritual masters.
And what they unearthed or unveiled about this ‘Mirror of Truth’ by laboring and toiling through the faculties of their body, speech and mind. For man as a centaur is a conditioned man, while the man on the horse, like a true horse-rider, is a liberated man. The former is less evolved and the latter is more evolved.
