Need of our times is not ''conversion '' but a ''conversion table''

Differences and similarities are due to the presence of ''uniqueness and universality'' that exists in every system, every individual, 

however, when one rises to cognizes the inherent universality existing in his own uniqueness, one will be able to harmonize all differences in his perception, no more conflicts"

"Need of our times is not ''conversion '' but a ''conversion table'' defining all the spiritual / religious terms, like we do in science, from one system to other system, without confusion or conflict 

Then only we will be able to solve the problems of life for example we have this table 1 inch =2.54 centimeters,, or 1 ounce =so many grams, and rupee to dollar etc ,"

"''Spirituality is an individual journey and therefore every journey is unique''.

..it is .like a journey..by Columbus to America.

or a journey ..even to mount Everest,

or... to mars, by curious daring pioneers and path finders into fields unknown, unexplored,

it is adventurous, uncertain, may be hazardous and arduous involving tremendous will power, commitment, indomitable spirit,

many pitfalls on the way, countless wrong tracks, innumerable wasted moves only a blessed few succeeding, enabling them to move further on and on till life long.  

but once the'' pioneers'' showed the right track, the ''common'' men made maps,

laid roads invented, vehicles,... without needing to do a ''rediscovery''....but enabled all others to trek and reach successfully and easily and quickly 

similarly, to explore more mysteries in spirituality too one need not waste one's life to learn and know afresh what is already discovered,

the help from the experts makes one to quickly master the fundamentals and graduate to the higher lessons, and prepares one to launch on ‘‘new’’,'' original'' discoveries, and thus more and more novices are enabled to progress rapidly hence the need to systematize the plethora of spiritual paths and findings, ie in short , precisely defining and standardizing, and universalizing is the need 

why not

‘’Yardstick’’ exactly is the need in spirituality, at least now in this most modern infn technology age 

before defining and standardizing fundamental units , L M T length mass time , things were arbitrary, different, some used to measure length with reference to the length of hand, or foot or finger, or guess , and weight by hand feel, or relative difference in articles, also time by just observing the shadows etc but a few men put enough trials / effort, and f p s/ c g s,was made, and then mks,, now rationalized R MKS, or SI units were evolved 

first spirituality must evolve as a science, with precise definitions, amenable to theory and tests /practical

maharishi mahesh yogi did a attempt in his '' science of creative intelligence '' he has made whole thing scientific and results measurable precisely by modern instrumentation, those who are familiar with TM ,know this,99 names of allah in quran were correlated to the attributes of the unified field ,,.....this was done by one muslim spiritual/scientist

ravishankar sri sri has done it in his book  ''hinduism and islam, the common thread''

prof hawkins too has made a good attempt in spirituality the basic yardstick is brahman, unmanifest , nirgun nirakar, pure consciousness

by using this one can differentiate who is master who is seeker and at what levels each individual is ....exactly like , in education, we know elementary, high school , inter, graduate, post graduate, doctorate levels 

in the spirituality to there are the levels jad chethan, jagrut chethan, turia, turiateeth, daivee, brahmi levels, may be corresponding to rishi maharishi. Devarishi,brahmarshi etc

none need to change their religions but they will come to know where they are and how far they have to go, 

humans are unique and different, but medical/ psychological sciences are developed applicable to all kinds of humans 

IQ levels are measurable, health /fitness is measurable

similarly this attempt for systematization & standardization of Spiritual must be done on by a committee of top saints

they must define, and a world standard must emerge

jesus ''i am the way the life and the truth'' is identified as ''aham brahmasmi'', sarvam khalvidam brahma''

''blood of jesus cleanses every sin '' is parallel to ''gyanagni dhagdha karmani, 

''blood of jesus is the pure consciousness, not the red corpuscles

Icons, idols, allegories are obscuring 

A standard tears off the delusion and makes one know one what he is, where he stands

"''The scriptures show us the path but how many have found the truth?

At any given time there are millions on the path but how many have reached the ultimate?'

'since "The proof of the pudding is in the eating"  the very fact that not all, but a very few could reach the ultimate ....is the very reason for more scientific result oriented approach needed , though putting mental/ physical effort and strain, the goal is not reached, benefit not got since humanity is on the wrong track, guidance is faulty/ not clear/ confusing, / ineffective/ unwise 

i did a study of a few teachings and systems and find there is enough scope to make a table of all religions and teachings and show the equivalents, some sankara teachings are coinciding with marati saints like tukaram , meera etc some with milton, William blake, emerson "

more can be thus harmonized, and assimilated to one’s benefit 

……………………………..

one of agenda should be to standardize terminology

 and provide precise definitions for several of the vocabulary that all religions use

 

also, evolve standards like ISI / ISO and a gradation and eligibility criteria to give a open certification to the spiritual leaders/ gurus

also evolve an conversion table like british system to metric system, like 1 inch =2..54 centimeters, or 1 kilogram =so many pounds .so that all teachings from all the saints and babas are understood by properly ''syncing'' them

 

and there should be a table like periodic table putting all elements metals, gases, etc in their proper place using certain criteria, so that one is able to understand and know relative worth of each saint/ teachings compared to others' 

 

and all conflicts must be resolved in an open forum freely fearlessly without inhibitions are secretes 

this is required for new gen not to waste their time and life by groping into the jungle of scriptures and gurus, but to arrive at the proper grip on ''what is all ''

this will be resisted since it dilutes the hold of spiritual leaders on their followers and exposes them naked on their hard earned false position and respect

  Not that other cultures neglect spirituality,

but it is only the Indian culture in which spirituality permeates life,

in which spirituality is the pivot around which all other activities revolve.

---------but i find contemporary events unfolding deteriorated values in practice, indicative of the very thin spirituality, nominal or nonexistent

 During its glorious period, India produced great religion, great philosophies,

 great literature, art , poetry, great science and medicine,

and has also been great in its organization, politics, trade and commerce.

But all these activities stretched beyond the mental level, and reflected the vital contact that the Indian mind has always had with the spirit.

 -----this light of self realization is now missing This has often been misunderstood, and our ‘other-worldliness’ has been blamed for many of our problems.

The peculiarity of the Indian culture is that it has not placed worldly life and spirituality in two neat compartments, but has sought to spiritualize worldly activities.

The ideal of Indian culture has been a balanced pursuit of kama (desire), artha (the means to fulfill desire), dharma (right conduct, within the framework of which kama and artha have to be pursued) and moksha (liberation), which is the ultimate aim of life, for which worldly life is a vehicle and an aid.

It was also understood that the emphasis on different aspects of this quartet would vary at different stages of life.

----due to absence of the light of self realization, all misinterpretations and misunderstanding is now prevailing"

Happiness due to the compromise, is called alpa santosh, of a simpleton

 ''na alpe sukhamastu''---there is no real happiness in small gains

man in india has missed the track , been left behind he has dropped all attempts to rise to the true divinity, just losing all opportunities to live as a master of the universe, his birth right as the son of supreme all mighty god"

"Happiness can be a result of compromise, accepting defeat, failures , inadequacies, incapacitates, in the name of fate, karma, surrender , self deceptive escape route to avoid challenges , from inside or from outside. in effect, it is living a just death like vegetative life lacking in initiative, impulse, enterprise, which are characteristics of a dynamic purposeful life

all due to misunderstanding the true spiritual principles which can be known only thru the light of self realization which is significantly missing despite all available best teachings , and in spite of the best glorious golden past

 

 

 

"During most of the 16th and 17th centuries, fear of heretics spreading teachings and opinions that contradicted the Bible dominated the Catholic Church. They persecuted scientists who formed theories the Church deemed heretical and forbade people from reading any books on those subjects by placing the books on the Index of Prohibited Books. A type of war between science and religion was in play but there would be more casualties on the side of science.

Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei were two scientists who printed books that later became banned. Copernicus faced no persecution when he was alive because he died shortly after publishing his book. Galileo, on the other hand, was tried by the Inquisition after his book was published. Both scientists held the same theory that the Earth revolved around the sun, a theory now known to be true. However, the Church disapproved of this theory because the Holy Scriptures state that the Earth is at the center, not the Sun. As the contents of the Bible were taken literally, the publishing of these books proved, to the Church, that Copernicus and Galileo were sinners; they preached, through their writing, that the Bible was wrong."

all controversies perceived or appear to have been created , are the reflections of one's own inner unreconciled, unresolved controversies and chaos that persists as a conditioning of the mind, unable to see something new or different this is the inability on the part of the receiver to '' sync'' different streams of thoughts, flowing in different directions, in different hues, conforming, confirming, contradicting, opposing, repelling, rebelling, revolting, repulsing but all trying to reach a common destination, the one truth it is like, water, going as vapor, cloud, rain , streams, rivers, all different, trying to reach the ocean which is silence, the truth , the one real entity i see everything , every blog, poem, dialog, repartee, fun, ridicule, all wonderfully happening ,simply as an attempt to reach the oceanic silence , the non changing one truth, within one side as long as that all- synchronizing silence is not established in one's system, one will get disturbed, perturbed, annoyed, excited, incited, consulted , insulted, crushed, crashed , defeated, frustrated, outwitted, by anything, by any one with whom one encounters so one needs to gain that ability to sync, then one sees order in disorder , solutions in controversies, universities in diversities, beauty in the filth, wealth in the waste"

Someone ,if do not have essential value will create nuisance value.??

it's individual reader's ability to make essential value out of all values presented, whether it is sense, nonsense, nuisance, new sense, new science, absurdity, obscenity, divinity, devilish, foolish , trivial, profound, intelligible, idle scribble, i make the meaning and take home the essence , not from the stuff given, but from the way i explore myself within with the stuff encountered good or bad"

no negativity or pessimism at all , in any of the blogs , and particularly, in the controversial blog referred with 2000 plus conversations do people select such topics----1.Knowingly or unknowingly to irritate others,??no ---not at all ---i see no such intentions, do people select such topics--2.just to promote their or their Teacher's path breaking ,revolutionary philosophy.

no ---not at all --------none can truly promote or sale or do door to door marketing on any philosophy on the other hand , in fact , every saint/ philosopher/thinker, writer, seer, have discovered fresh angles of truth, and just did their loud thinking, which did create flutters , did made people to relook revise improve their frozen ideas and update

pioneer just moves forward, does not wait for commoners' approval / acceptance, / ,permission that is how progress is made in the world"
