Religion & Spiritualism
Each spiritual guides (Guru) has tried to give more importance to personal religion & idols and has created a fear of ghost-spirit among people.
Religion & Spiritualism
Beloved’s response on the queries on spiritualism by one of HIS devotee is given here .
I want to clarify that sometimes I speak differently to different individuals depending upon their degree of intelligence & intellectual refinement. Often I find my utterances being understood & accepted by different people in different distinctive shades & flavours. There’s a lot of difference between what I construe as intellectual elevation & spiritual elevation. To me, the spiritual elevation is the highest form of elevation. The way I perceive, interpret & understand spirituality, I find spiritualism mandatory & not optional for humanity as Buddha once told Mallika, the wife of King Prasenjit that as a candle can’t burn without fire so can’t a life be illuminated without spirituality. I want to make it adequately clear that true spiritualism has very little to do with religion, in whatever form or shape we may comprehend religion to be, organised or otherwise. Spiritual pursuit is absolutely independent of the fastenings of any particular religion or the rigours of any particular faith.
Spirituality is solely a scientifically & metaphysically tempered lifestyle which unfailingly works for the betterment & enrichment of every faculty of an individual’s existence. A true spiritualist should have a clear & deep understanding of the flow & working of creation in order to discern what true betterment actually means. As long as religion helps in this direction its welcome. But the moment religious dictations & interpretations are found to create confusion, pettiness & rift they should be summarily dismissed. If your search is genuine, if your dedication is honest then irrespective of which religion you are clinging to or what faith you are adhering to you’ll find that the ultimate reality & realisation is indistinguishable & identical. Spiritualism is big & mighty enough to be contained & confined in the tiny potholes of narrow apparently religious mindsets lacking genuine passion & authentic dedication required for the pursuance of true spiritualism. Spirituality is intrinsically & inseparably amalgamated to your spirit or soul & cares the least whether one has embraced a monastic life or a family life or whether one is bowing in a mosque or kneeling in a temple or praying in a church or refusing to do any of the above. All that spirituality needs is a receptive & sensitive heart to register the finer footprints of the accomplished wisdom. All it requires is a pure & clear soul to hear the footsteps of the unheard melody. One needn’t worry if he or she don’t have the necessary sensitivity or purity of the heart or soul to acknowledge the necessary effects. In that case just having true yearning & sincere eagerness to discover the underlying truth beneath the fabric of creation will be sufficient, any further requirement will find its fulfilment addressed automatically in due course of time. Careful philosophical & scientific consideration of the idea known as God or Allah may lead one to his or her intellectual elevation. But finally to become spiritually elevated one needs that extra something which I often jokingly call as prayerful consideration. For the sake of true & honest spiritual elevation one needs to consider & examine the concept or idea known as Allah or God both carefully & prayerfully.
Revelation of a Young Devotee
Each spiritual guides (Guru) has tried to give more importance to personal religion & idols and has created a fear of ghost-spirit among people. They have said about temporary bliss which may give short lived happiness like bed-time stories from “Thakumar Jhuli”. Today spiritualism lies only in stories which has ultimately harmed the society.
They make people visualize fantasies about the lives they’d live & thus fool them. Only the path of truth will lead a country to survive. We have lost all due to lack of ability to think logically. This is Revolt-like flood. If you pour water on someone’s land, that person will move court against you. But nobody moves against the ocean. Ocean doesn’t bother to listen to anyone, just floods everything. No one gets a chance to utter a single word.
When the original tune of this eternal universe will blossom in you, you are bound to blossom. So if “I” bind thousands of people by this same tune of practical demand and when this tune will strike, there’ll be no criticism, no resistance, all will be in one original tune of demand. The demand of death and the tune of need are the same in all.
We all are in the same status. Think in the same tune. Instinct will arise in all. Death is inevitable-tread towards the path of the great eternal universal existence. We will maintain the tune which will give us the knowledge of the ultimate. We’ll find the path of truth-why and from where have we come and what is our ultimate destination?????
