Reality and Truth are not products of rational or linear thinking...

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

In this passage that Shri Mataji has given, She explains that " Reality " and

" Truth " are not products of rational or linear thinking, but Reality and Truth

are derived from Absolute wisdom as it manifests itself spontaneously, coming

from the Light (enlightenment) of the Spirit.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi...

 

Reality and Truth are not products of rational or linear thinking. They are

derived from Absolute wisdom as it manifests itself spontaneously, coming from

the Light of the Spirit. Prior to self-realisation, one may or may not agree,

but the truth is that the Spirit is the reflection of God Almighty in our heart.

 

Only after Self-Realisation, and only then, is there a direct experience of the

Spirit. It then manifests its powers in the human personality, and its Light

enlightens the consciousness into a new awareness. The Divine Intelligence of

the Spirit radiates on all sides. It does not have a linear movement as rational

thinking does. It is not partial, tendentious or manipulative, but is simply

like the rays of the sun.

 

It enlightens every area of darkness and ignorance. The power of glowing Reality

radiates from the Spirit on all sides, and penetrates into all the deepest

questions and problems. The power of the Spirit is unlimited and it continues

enlightening every area, even the most difficult and obscure. There is no

question of it reaching a point where it must recoil and lead the mind into

confusion and error, as the linear consciousness inevitably does.

 

On the contrary, it enlightens wherever one's attention goes, and one sees

Reality with complete clarity in a balanced and tangible way. That is because

Reality is what it is (and) unlike the limited ego (blind consciousness), the

Spirit neither wishes nor needs to manipulate any idea to fit in with rational

projections (in order) to suit the demands of an argument or of some mental

construction. The trouble is that Truth cannot compromise. It stands on its

foundations of deep, pure Love. (Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Book/Meta Modern Era
