There is one thing that is the source of everything.
Everything is, in essence, that.
Modern Physicists call it the unified field.
Others call it ‘God’.
I am that, thou art that, all of this is nothing but that.
All creatures, to varying degrees, sense it deep within themselves.
It is an innate inner knowing.
It is felt.
It is life.
It is instinctively known to be precious.
It is protected.
It is the soul.
It is the life force.
It is the Self.
Faith is rooted in that inner knowing.
The power of that inner knowing is remarkable
… humanity has constructed great cities, religions, and temples in its name.
… even though it
___… is not fully understood
___… can not be grasped
___… transcends relativity.
Yet faith’s vision is veiled
… by dogma
… by lack of understanding
… by emotional bias
… by intellectual bias
… by indoctrination
Aspire to that which lies beyond the veil of faith.
That process is called the path of discernment.
It is not blindly faithful.
It questions everything.
It is the path of inquiry.
Discernment is not
… just of the mind
… nor just of the heart.
Discernment unifies
… heart with mind
… soul with thought
… subjective with objective
As Adi Shankar said, the spiritual path is the path of discernment.
Very beautiful blog. It is amazing how your words in this poetry format takes a person even deeper.
Love this, especially this:
” …Discernment unifies
… heart with mind
… soul with thought
… subjective with objective …”
Beautiful, thank you.
beautiful…
Explaining Vedic Knowledge, in expressions we can relate to, certainly gives us the understanding of the different levels of our own Nature as we penetrate deeper into the Transcendental level. The more I absorb, the more beauty I behold around me. Thank you.
Fantastic!! This blog is definitely in my top five of all time blogs!! I have felt this for years yet I could not really get clarity around it because of my conditioning.That wonderful afternoon at the common wealth club helped considerably with that issue. My ability to play the drums has been a significant key to understanding this knowledge. Playing the drums feels different than anything else I do. Playing the drums feels like that. Everything else I do has been learned outwardly.
This blog might end up poster size on the front door:)
Simple yet Powerful
Thank you Brahmarshi
I loved this format. It was if a other door opened allowing me to go deeper level in contemplation. Thank you
