There is absolutely no doubt that we are an efficient
biological machine, evolved from equally efficient Nature, whose creation
(origin) is the result of an equally efficient Cause (Intelligence). What
sustains this efficient creation is the subject matter of spiritualists as well
as of the future scientists, whose research would impel them to treat inner
(spiritual) and outer (ephemeral world) sciences as one. The scientists of the
Nature, however are in for a pleasant surprise, since at the end of their
research, is the likely revelation: For their welcome are standing, the
spiritualists with open hands! A spiritualist’s first lesson, which he learns
at the start of his Sadhna (spiritual exercise) of inward journey, is the
elevation of his mind to Conscious---which incidentally would be the ultimate
goal of the scientists too. Whereas conscious is the first step for
Self-realisation, the end of scientist’s research would be the discovery that
“matter is conscious”!
Why there is no co-ordination between these two streams of disciplines is not because of any lack of reciprocity, but because of the difference between the tools, which they deploy in their respective fields, which are equally different in shape and structure: Though their subtle composition is similar and of one substance, i.e., of ‘conscious particles’. The world is physical in form, so its projection is physical. We also are physical. So it is natural for us to use only physical tools to probe its (world) depths for its understanding and learn about its creations. On the other hand, mind-intellect-wisdom trilogy is not physical. It is mass-less, hence subtle. Search for its substance, naturally require only non-physical (subtle) tools---that is, ‘conscious’ itself. This conscious of worldly acquired knowledge is in its lowest state of gross. Since it is not in its original state of pure-consciousness, it cannot be taken as the right tool, for our search of Self-realisation, which is in its own state of purity. A spiritualist, attaining this state of pure-consciousness, requires a great regimentation over his body-mind-intellect regimes, through which he has to pass before reaching the ultimate goal. These media are the corollary of our ancient scriptures, viz. five life sheaths, five vital breaths, five senses of perception and five sense organs. For a complete mastery over these physical implements, the application of five D’s, Dedication, Discipline, Devotion, Discrimination, and Determination, is most essential. Supplementing these are Self-confidence, Self-satisfaction, Self-sacrifice to finally attain the ultimately, Self-realisation.
This mind boggling list of disciplines makes clear that the qualifications required of a spiritualist are even more stringent than of a scientist. Even the entire life span is short to master the senses. That is the reason that our present day masters, are unable to bring about any transformation in the lives of their followers, since they themselves do not exemplify what they teach. They do not practice what they preach. This is the most conspicuous blemish in their general character. What a joke that these ‘revered’ names of our society are conducting short camps to teach their followers the methodology of Meditation, Yoga, TM and what not! Breathing in a particular fashion or doing some sham body exercises, won’t teach us those disciplines, which require mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual ‘Sadhna’. These disciplines of Sadhna are sacred. We should not try to demean their very purpose for a morsel of comfort and pride. Humanity has a rich heritage, which should not be lost for a penny. The precious gem of life has no price in worldly wealth, as it is the most sacred possession, which has a purpose, a goal to attain and the final mergence! Our misfortune is that we are unaware of our inheritance, as we are incapable of understanding our potentialities! We have to patent the divinity that is latent in us. This is the simple goal, which the scholars, thinkers and the Punditry has made so complex for us.
