About Universal Mysticism, the Art of Union with the Cosmic
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Sucn people also talk about Creationism, an outdated concept.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 that others 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 !
