In some websites I was shocked to see a write up on
Anti-Secularism, saying
that one Religion is the only Truth.
Secularism is the Way. Syncretism or Ecumenism is the grandchild of Indian
Philosophy and Western Philosophy.Great philosophers have extolled
Syncretism and Secularism.
God is same to all human beings. Saying one Religion or one Civilization is
greater than the other is the sign of fools.
Sucn people also talk about Creationism, an outdated concept. Darwin's Law
of Evolution is universally followed. It is unfortunate that some people cling
to
old dogmas, in a world ruled by Science and Philosophy.
The World Religious Crisis is created by some people who cannot see the
light of Reason, the reality of Secularism and Syncretism. They believe that
their
Faith is the greatest and thatothers should be converted to their faith !
Man follows the laws of the Earth
Earth follows the laws of Heaven
Heaven follows the laws of the Self
And Self follows the laws of His intrinsic nature !
All mysticism points out that the Inner Reality is hidden.
An Indian mystic by the name of Bodhidharma travelled to China and Dhyan (
Meditation ) became the Chinese Ch'an and the Japanese Zen ! Zen followers
worship the metaphysical entity ( Bodhi Dharma ) which to them represents the
Absolute Bodhi Essence. The Chinese share this doctrine of Absolute Bodhi
Essence with the Indian Buddhist tradition !
Cosmic Illusion ends
When Self is seen !
Sorrow ceases
Doubt ceases
When all is known as I !
Self alone is free and eternal
The rest mere Imagination !
Dream empowered by Mind
Where Mind is the only Verity !
The world exists and is not
It is Self seen through Mind !
The Wise do not even speak
As the Highest Wisdom is Silence !
His mind is vacant
As it rests on Self !
Desires do not arise
In his tranquil mind !
Unattached to the mundane
Dwelling in the supra-mundane
He sees all alike
In the Sky of Consciousness !
Consciousness relative troubles him not
The Consciousness which sees Duality
All this Duality is Cosmic Illusion
The Only Reality is Self Absolute !
