✧ From Root to Zero — Questions Are the Gate ✧

Introduction
The world always dazzles with attraction — smoke, light, glitter.
But deep inside, it gives nothing real.
The true journey begins when one falls from surface–attraction into the weight of questions.
Questions are not confusion; they are the hidden staircase inward.
When questions burn completely, answers are born on their own.agyat agyani

  2. What is the “subtle axis” of man — and why does he seek speed, imagination, and light?

  3. दिव्य साधना

    Can woman bring the masculine principle within her, or man bring feminine rhythm within himself?

  4. When woman becomes like man — is it true liberation or the erosion of life?

  5. If woman gains height (status, fame, science), where does the depth of children and the original nectar go?

  8. Can a guru ever be as selfless as a mother, or has the guru-tradition become a structure of ego?

  9. Father’s desire for name and fame vs. mother’s child-centeredness — do they clash or balance?

  10. When a guru fears his disciple’s progress, is he a guardian of spirit or a hypocrite?

  11. What layers of Zero (0) are possible — the empty zero and the full zero? What are their effects?

  12. Do Buddhism, Tao, Advaita, Sufism define the same Zero, or are their “zeros” different in nature?

  13. If Zero is already present from birth (the primal Zero), is practice only the removal of veils?

  14. Can human choice or will affect Zero, or is Zero already primary and beyond choice?

  15. How does the empty Zero, where desires remain incomplete, become the seed of rebirth?

  16. The full Zero where life’s essence dissolves into silence — how can it be explained scientifically?

  17. Is a “science of Zero” possible — and what kind of research or practice does it demand?

  22. If woman adopts man’s speed and man adopts woman’s rhythm — does humanity gain or lose?

  23. The journey between two forms of Zero — can any path lead there? Yoga, Tapas, Tantra, Spirit, or Art of Living?

  24. Are the Sufi experiences of Fana and Baqa the same as Shaiva’s Shunya Samadhi, or essentially different?

  25. Can language and thought capture the reality of Zero, or is Zero known only through experience?

  27. The future generation — if present trends continue, what will their psychology and society look like?

  28. Can this personal journey “from root to zero” become a universal story, and what form of publication would carry it best?

    Chapter 1 — Woman’s Root Axis

    Question: What is the “root axis” of woman — and why does she see her wholeness in children and relationships?

    Answer:
    The axis of woman is relationship and child. She is not fulfilled in standing alone; her essence is to join, to weave, to nourish.

    Her joy is not in her name or her separate achievement, but in the life that flows through her. This is why her own child’s laughter, growth, and victory feel like her victory.

    Man may say: “This is my achievement, my fame.”
    Woman says: “This is my heart, my blood, my continuation.”

    This is why her fulfillment is found in children and relationships. Her essence is not to dominate or conquer, but to flow into another and make life whole.


    Chapter 2 — Man’s Subtle Axis

    Question: What is the “subtle axis” of man — and why does he seek speed, imagination, and light?

    Answer:
    Man’s axis is not rootedness, but movement and exploration. He cannot remain content in stillness; his breath is restless for the unknown.

    His eyes are on the sky, on stars, on dreams yet to be shaped.
    Where woman finds wholeness in relationships, man seeks meaning in exploration.

    This is why he longs for speed. Speed is his fire. To stop is to suffocate.

    His second axis is imagination. He delights in shaping futures, inventions, dreams. His subtlety lies in seeing what does not yet exist and giving it form.

    And his third axis is light. Knowledge, reasoning, clarity — these are his suns. He wants to pierce the darkness, to reveal mysteries.

    Man lives as a spark, not a rooted tree. For him, life is authentic only in search and movement.


    Chapter 3 — Inner Union of Man and Woman

    Question: Can woman bring the masculine principle within, or man bring feminine rhythm within himself?

    Answer:
    Yes — and this is the real path of completion.

    Both man and woman are partial in themselves.

    • Woman has rhythm, but less light.

    • Man has speed, but less peace.

    If they cling only to their nature, the distance remains:
    woman bound in relationships, man bound in dreams.

    Completion comes only when:

    • Man awakens within himself calmness, compassion, rhythm.

    • Woman awakens within herself courage, discernment, clarity.

    Usually, woman projects her masculine side into her child, not within herself. Man searches for feminine in woman, not within himself. Thus true union is rare.

    The one who lives their own inner marriage — man with his inner feminine, woman with her inner masculine — touches wholeness.


    Chapter 4 — Woman Becoming Man

    Question: When woman becomes like man — is it liberation or erosion of life?

    Answer:
    Society today whispers constantly: woman must be like man.
    She too must chase position, fame, politics, science.

    It looks like equality — but deeply, it is violence against her axis.

    Woman’s axis is rhythm and nurture.
    Her strength is not in competition but in flowing love.
    Her victory is not in her own name, but in her child’s wholeness.

    When she imitates man, her axis breaks:

    • Her rhythm weakens.

    • Her inner magnetism fades.

    • Her focus shifts from family to outer race.

    The result?

    • Child feels rootless.

    • Family weakens.

    • Society appears modern but grows hollow within.

    This does not mean woman should never reach heights.
    True liberation is not denial of growth, but growth without losing her root.
    She may awaken courage, wisdom, subtle vision within — but she must never abandon her rhythm and care.

    So: woman becoming man is erosion.
    True liberation is deepening her feminine essence while balancing it with inner masculine clarity.


    Chapter 5 — Woman’s Height and Child’s Depth

    Question: If woman achieves height (status, fame, science), what happens to the child’s depth and essence?

    Answer:
    Woman’s essence is to pour her life into another.

    When her energy flows primarily outward — into career, recognition, fame — her child receives less of her rhythm. The milk may still feed, but the heartbeat is absent.

    Child does not only need food or shelter; child needs the invisible assurance: “You are safe. Your life matters.”

    When this assurance weakens, the child grows capable in skills but hollow in depth.

    So woman’s outer height may shine civilization, but if it displaces her inner root, future generations grow shallow.

    Height can never substitute depth.


    Chapter 6 — The Neutered Society

    Question: Does modern society’s push to make woman like man create a neutered future generation?

    Answer:
    Yes.

    When woman’s rhythm and care weaken, the child is raised only by knowledge and machines.
    They may become skilled, but they will lack heart.

    Such a generation is “neutered” not only in body, but in soul:

    • Knowledge without courage.

    • Energy without sensitivity.

    • Efficiency without love.

    Technology and wealth may grow, but life itself becomes dry.

    So yes — society that forces woman into man’s race produces children like robots: capable, but lifeless.


    Chapter 7 — Mother and Guru

    Question: What is the difference between mother and guru, and how does it shape society?

    Answer:
    Mother and guru both appear as nurturers, but their core is different.

    • Mother: delights when her child surpasses her.
      Her victory is in her child’s growth. Her love is ego-free.

    • Guru: often fears the disciple surpassing him.
      His ego whispers: “I must remain higher.”
      So disciples remain weak, dependent.

    Impact:

    • Mother’s spirit moves life forward, generation after generation.

    • Guru’s ego often halts progress, turning tradition hollow.

    If guru becomes like mother — rejoicing in disciple’s flight — spirituality would never stagnate.


    Chapter 8 — Ego of the Guru

    Question: Can a guru be as selfless as mother, or has guru-tradition become a structure of ego?

    Answer:
    Rare gurus can be like mothers — but most are guardians of their own power.

    Mother loses nothing if child grows. Guru often fears: “If disciple grows, my position shrinks.”

    Thus guru-tradition mostly becomes structure of ego. The form continues, the robes remain, but the spirit dies.

    A guru who rejoices in disciple’s freedom is true. Most are only protectors of hierarchy.


    Chapter 9 — Father’s Fame vs. Mother’s Child

    Question: Father’s desire for name and fame, and mother’s child-centeredness — do they clash or balance?

    Answer:
    Both are expansions of self, but in different directions.

    • Father expands through history, through name and recognition.

    • Mother expands through blood, through the child.

    They clash when they deny each other.
    They balance when they see themselves as branches of the same tree.

    Together, they build both future and root.


    Chapter 10 — Disciple and Guru

    Question: When guru fears disciple’s growth, is he a guardian of spirit or a hypocrite?

    Answer:
    He is a hypocrite.

    A true guru wants disciple to surpass him, because that alone proves his guidance was real.
    The moment guru fears disciple’s growth, he ceases to be guru — he becomes trader of power.

    History’s true gurus always said: “Do not stop at me. Go beyond.”


    Chapter 11 — Layers of Zero

    Question: What layers of Zero exist — empty zero and full zero?

    Answer:
    There are two very different experiences called “Zero.”

    1. Empty Zero

      • At death, hands are empty but hunger remains.

      • Incomplete desires carry forward.

      • This becomes seed of rebirth.

    2. Full Zero

      • Life’s energy and essence dissolve into silence.

      • Nothing remains unfinished.

      • This Zero is empty outside but full within.

      • This is liberation.

    The key question: which Zero will you fall into?



    Chapter 12 — Traditions of Zero

    Question: Do Buddhism, Tao, Advaita, and Sufism speak of the same Zero, or are their “zeros” different?

    Answer:
    The directions are one, but the languages differ.

    • Buddhism speaks of Śūnyatā — emptiness where all formations dissolve. Its flavor is silence and detachment.

    • Tao calls it the womb of existence — the mother of the ten thousand things. Its flavor is flow and naturalness.

    • Advaita Vedānta calls it Brahman — the absolute without second. Its flavor is vastness and unity.

    • Sufism sings of Fanā and Baqā — annihilation in the Beloved, then abiding in Him. Its flavor is love and intoxication.

    So the essence is one: the dissolving of “I.”
    But the taste is different — one is silent, one flowing, one vast, one drunk in love.


    Chapter 13 — Practice and Zero

    Question: If Zero is already present from birth, what is the role of practice?

    Answer:
    Zero is not something to be created; it is already the ground of being.
    Practice does not add Zero — it removes the dust covering it.

    Imagine a mirror buried in mud. The mirror is always there.
    Cleaning is needed, not creation.

    So meditation, prayer, discipline — all are only cleansings.
    When the coverings fall, Zero shines forth.

    Practice is not to reach somewhere, but to uncover what has always been here.


    Chapter 14 — Decision and Zero

    Question: Can human decision affect Zero, or is Zero already primary?

    Answer:
    Zero itself cannot be touched — it is primary.
    But decision determines which Zero you fall into:

    • If you live with clinging, you fall into empty Zero — incomplete, recycling into birth.

    • If you live with awareness, you fall into full Zero — complete, dissolving into silence.

    Zero is always there.
    Decision only decides the doorway: unfinished or fulfilled.


    Chapter 15 — Empty Zero and Rebirth

    Question: How does empty Zero become seed of rebirth?

    Answer:
    At death, body drops, but desires remain as subtle energy.
    These unfulfilled hungers cannot vanish — they pull the soul again into form.

    This is the mechanics of rebirth.
    Not morality, not judgment, but simple energy law:
    unfinished currents seek completion.

    Thus empty Zero is not end — it is pause before the cycle begins again.


    Chapter 16 — Scientific View of Full Zero

    Question: How can full Zero be explained scientifically?

    Answer:
    Full Zero is like the ground state of consciousness.
    Just as in physics, all energy tends toward lowest state,
    consciousness too dissolves into stillness when complete.

    When all desires are resolved, energy no longer moves outward.
    It folds into silence, into undivided presence.

    This is not void but fullness — energy unmanifest.
    Science glimpses it as quantum vacuum; mystics call it liberation.


    Chapter 17 — The Science of Zero

    Question: Is a science of Zero possible?

    Answer:
    Yes, but the laboratory is not outside.
    It is the inner mind and awareness.

    Observation, meditation, silence — these are experiments.
    The instruments are attention, breath, sensitivity.

    Just as physics studies matter through controlled observation,
    spiritual science studies consciousness through direct witnessing.

    Zero is not belief.
    It is repeatable, experiential, testable — but inwardly.


    Chapter 18 — Modern Science and Zero

    Question: Can modern science help in understanding Zero, or will it distort it?

    Answer:
    Both paths are open.

    • If science opens to inner research, meditation, altered states,
      it may illuminate Zero with new clarity.

    • If science clings only to external machines and measurements,
      it will fragment the very wholeness it seeks.

    Technology can either deepen or destroy.
    The question is whether scientists dare to turn inward.


    Chapter 19 — Mother’s Rhythm

    Question: What is the role of mother’s rhythm in a child’s growth, and what if it is lost?

    Answer:
    A child does not grow only through food or shelter.
    The mother’s rhythm is the child’s first universe.

    Her heartbeat, her tone, her patience — they seed security.
    They whisper: “You are held, you are accepted.”

    If this rhythm is broken — if mother becomes restless, mechanical, absent —
    the child grows anxious, insecure, disconnected.

    Knowledge may still come. Skills may still come.
    But the invisible root of love is missing.

    Without mother’s rhythm, the child grows like a tree without soil.


    Chapter 20 — Woman’s Aspiration and Child’s Wellbeing

    Question: Can woman’s self-growth and child’s wellbeing walk together?

    Answer:
    Yes — if aspiration is depth, not competition.

    When woman deepens herself in wisdom, sensitivity, and freedom,
    her child gains a richer soil.
    Such growth is harmony.

    But if aspiration becomes only race —
    status, money, comparison —
    then her child stands second.

    Child will then feel: “I am less important than mother’s ladder.”

    So both can coexist, but only when growth is true inner flowering.



    Chapter 21 — Policies and Woman’s Axis

    Question: To what extent can social-political policies (education, jobs, equality) alter woman’s natural axis?

    Answer:
    Policies act on the surface, but their effect penetrates deep.

    Education:
    If education gives woman clarity, wisdom, and awareness of her nature,
    it strengthens her axis.
    But if education is only competition and career race,
    she may be cut from her root of care and rhythm.

    Jobs:
    Work gives woman economic freedom. This is needed.
    But when job becomes the center of life,
    children and relationships are pushed to second place.
    Here the axis shifts.

    Equality:
    Equality is just. To suppress woman is injustice.
    But if equality means “she must become like man,”
    then it is an attack on her nature.
    True equality means: let her blossom in her own axis.

    So policies can shape the axis in two ways:

    • Deepen her root → society thrives.

    • Push her into imitation → society becomes hollow.


    Chapter 22 — Exchange of Energies

    Question: If woman adopts man’s speed and man adopts woman’s rhythm, is it gain or loss?

    Answer:
    If it is complementary, it is gain.
    Man learning peace, woman learning courage — balance arises.

    But if it is imitation, it is loss.
    Woman losing rhythm to chase speed,
    man losing clarity to sink in passivity — imbalance grows.

    Exchange must be in balance, not in disguise.


    Chapter 23 — Paths to Zero

    Question: What are the paths between the two forms of Zero?

    Answer:
    There are many doors —

    • Yoga: discipline of body and mind.

    • Tapas: inner fire, endurance.

    • Tantra: union of energies.

    • Devotion: surrender into love.

    • Mindful living: awareness in daily acts.

    All paths converge in silence.
    The outer forms differ, but the destination is the same:
    to dissolve unfinished desires and enter full Zero.


    Chapter 24 — Sufi and Shaiva Experiences

    Question: Are Sufi Fanā–Baqā and Shaiva Śūnya Samādhi the same?

    Answer:
    The direction is one: the dissolution of ego.

    But the flavor differs:

    • Fanā–Baqā is soaked in love — drowning in the Beloved, then abiding in Him.

    • Śūnya Samādhi is soaked in clarity — dissolving in silence, entering vastness.

    One is intoxication, the other is pure light.
    Both dissolve “I,” but their songs are different.


    Chapter 25 — Language and Zero

    Question: Can language and thought capture the reality of Zero?

    Answer:
    No — language can only point, never hold.

    Language always points to objects.
    Zero is where object vanishes.
    Thoughts cling to concepts.
    Zero dissolves all concepts.

    So words are only fingers pointing to the moon.
    The moon itself must be seen in silence.

    Zero can be experienced, never spoken fully.


    Chapter 26 — Zero in Practice

    Question: Can knowledge of Zero be transformed into practice in life (relationships, education, politics)?

    Answer:
    Yes. Zero is not only for caves; it breathes in daily life.

    • Relationships: Zero removes clinging. Love becomes free, not possession.

    • Education: Zero teaches silence and depth, not just information.

    • Politics: Zero reminds leaders — everything is temporary. Power becomes service, not ego.

    Thus Zero is not escape, but transformation of life.


    Chapter 27 — Future Generations

    Question: If present trends continue, what will future generations be like?

    Answer:
    They will look capable, but inside fragile.

    • Skilled with machines, but poor in heart.

    • Overflowing with information, but starved of meaning.

    • Surrounded by wealth, but empty in intimacy.

    Families will weaken, relationships become contracts,
    and society will glitter outwardly but collapse inwardly.

    This is the danger:
    Outer shine, inner weakness.


    Chapter 28 — Universal Story

    Question: Can the journey “From Root to Zero” become a universal story, and what form is best?

    Answer:
    Yes. Though born from personal reflection, it is universal.
    Every human is caught between root and Zero:

    • Some in relationship,

    • Some in ambition,

    • Some in spiritual tradition,

    • All finally face the mystery of Zero.

    The uniqueness here is the distinction of two Zeros — empty and full.
    This clarity makes the journey universal.

    Form:
    The most powerful way is not as heavy doctrine, but as flow:

    • First the Book of Questions — to ignite thirst.

    • Then the Book of Answers — to quench with depth.

    Together, they mirror life’s rhythm:
    first confusion, then silence.

    English — Final Message

    Epilogue
    This journey began with the axis of woman and man,
    moved through the illusions of guru and society,
    and dissolved into the two mysteries of Zero.


    Nothing here was planned.
    Like life itself, it unfolded —
    from root to subtle, from question to silence.

    If the reader carries even one question inward,
    the work is alive.
    For answers are not given —
    they are born when the heart is pierced by a true question.

    Zero is not the end.
    It is the beginning of seeing.
