Of Buddhism and Hinduism

The Cosmic Consciousness of SCI
& TM is the Nibbana which Buddhism speaks  of  and the Samadhi of the
Hindus.

There are two types of Samadhi – Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa, Cosmic
Consiousness and Unity Consciousness, the Fifth and Seventh
States.

Now Buddhism is a formidable system of
Philosophy, which deals with the causes of Sorrow and its cessation.Buddha was
indeed one of the greatest philosophers.

Now jumping to Cosmic Consciousness is
not easy, it requires years of preparation and meditation.

Jnana Yoga is Union via Wisdom and these
concepts and experiences belong to Wisdom.

Now Bhakti Yoga is the Union via Love,
where the Self is worshipped as the Quintessence of Love. Now this Yoga is
predominant in Hinduism, as Masters state that Love is greater than
Intelligence.

Wisdom is great, but Love is greater
!





We repeat, the Fourfold Yoga is the best
path. We find in Christiantiy, Theology or Dvaitha is more dominant. Also in
Islam. More Theology, less Philosphy. Of course there is Philosophy in these
two, as Gnosticism and Sufism. But Theology is more dominant.





After you study all the great religions of
the world, you will have to accept Universal Love.Any system which does not
incorporate Universal Love or Union via Universal Love will not have much
followers.

Leela, a better term than Maya. !





“Leela includes the idea of Maya
and exceeds it”  – Aurobindo.
The word Maya, contains within
itself, a devastating simplicity of nullification. ( Ho Ho, everything is Maya.
Why should I work ? )
This is His Leela, Himself the
Play, Himself the Player, Himself the Playground !


We may regard and realise it as Leela, the
magicinan’s Joy, creating and recreating Himself in Himself for the sheer bliss
of that self creation !
