OBJECTIVE SPIRITUALITY

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

This discussion (a snippet quoted below), is kind of prompting to put forth some

thoughts regarding that aspect of SPIRITUAL discipline, which we can refer as -

OBJECTIVE SPIRITUALITY.

 

It's known to all that Jyotish, Ayurveda and many such allied ancient sciences

are part of the Vedas. Not only that, the whole branch of Sakam Upasana

(Objective Rituals) finds its due importance in the Scriptural texts. Though

philosophical, but is an inevitable truth that every human being has to find

some " purpose " ; a purpose that is deciperable and can be acknowledged with gross

senses in terms creating a more harmonious & satisfying experience of Living.

Without which what is left with us is nothing but, impotent talks on subjective

purity and/or abstract theologies on the nature of soul and its intended goal/s.

 

In the 7th Chapter (Gyan-Vigyan Yog) of The Bhagavad Gita, Lord Sree Krishna has

elaborated on this subject.

 

Verse 7.2 is Lord's declaration to confer that knowledge, which shall result in

an " Understanding " of both the Subjective (Gyan) as well as the Objective

(Vigyan) faculty.

Verse 7.4 indicates that, HIS Nature is not different and does manifest in these

forms. Thus, developing a deeper Understanding of these is also a part of

knowing HIM.

Verse 7.11 elaborates CLEARLY, that an OBJECTIVE GOAL is not in opposition to

Righteousness, as sometimes suggested by Purist Spiritualists.

Verse 7.30 concludes, infallibly declaring the GIST and KEY on which this whole

Realization/Understanding rests while dealing with OBJECTIVE aspects of The

Godhead during the course of Living, thus effecting, path for the Soul's further

destiny.

 

Can the contributon of Charaka in Ayurveda, Varahmihir in Jyotish, Svatmaram in

Hath Yoga, Nagarjuna in Alchemy (and so on.....) be disregarded? It would be

mere foolishness and cowardice (in terms of restricted indulgence) to maintain a

negative or half-commited approach/thinking towards these faculties and let them

fade away in the sands of time.

 

So, what is the Solution?

(More ideas are welcome to explore this)

The Solution is " Individual Sadhana " , to explore SUBJECTIVE as well as OBJECTIVE

faculties of The GODHEAD .....methodology could be in tune with one's likings,

temparament, skills & preferences. And it always may not require an 'Avatar' to

enforce some radical change for the benefit of mankind. One Sadhak, once

centered, if can provide " Objective/Subjective Assistance " to a Small Section of

the Society.....a Handful of Sadhaks can reach out a Larger Mass......and with a

Resonable Strength surely the Whole Country.................and MORE !!!
