Dynamic Moments of Spiritual Reflection

 

Amidst the din and boisterous bustle of worldly activities, there

come moments of tranquillity and peace, when the mind for the time

being, however short it may be, soars above the filthy worldly things

and reflects on the higher problems of life, viz., “Whence? Where?

Whither? Why of the universe? Who am I?†The sincere enquirer becomes

serious and extends his reflections. He begins to search and

understand the Truth. Discrimination dawns on him. He seeks Vairagya,

concentration, meditation and purification of the mind and body and

eventually attains the highest knowledge of the Self.

 

 

Direct Perception and Conceptual Activity

 

Intuition is immediate knowledge in contrast with mediate knowledge.

Intuition is the only way by which the Absolute can be realised and

experienced in all its totality and integrality. These mortal limited

senses and the finite intellect cannot comprehend the all-pervading

Reality. Reason can give you only conceptual knowledge and conceptual

knowledge does not give you the knowledge of the Reality in its

whole, in its totality, but it divides, fragmentises and breaks

things into pieces.
