Latent.Patent. For those, whose minds are always nagging them about the ‘existence’ of God; there shall never be a satisfactory answer or a solution! Even if they are presented with conclusive proofs of the existence of ‘POWER”, which is beyond the system of natural laws and is capable to manifest projections in a trice from thin air, whose production in normal course would take days, months or years, and that too with the available infra-structure of modern gadgetry---would be a ‘event’ beyond imagination!
Why religions have survived, is not due to some innovations in the existing ‘philosophies’ or by the erudition of their masters! The only reason for their uninterrupted survivability has been the public exhibition of ‘supernatural powers’, by their masters. Had it not been so, no religion had ever been established, by the reverent masters, single handedly in each case. Whether scholars, elites or the atheists believe it or not---they may deny the existence of these institutions---but the fact of their existence is before us. The doubting minds and the fringe sitters flock en-block to witness any new spectacle of Divine-power, being exhibited through the medium of a ‘person’. Only those religions have survived the ravages of history and mans’ bestiality, who have been rejuvenated by the periodical ‘dosages’ of Divine-energy’ by the advent of Divine-personages. Their display of super-natural powers can be consigned as myth by some, but the irrefutable evidence left by these special “persons”, compel the present day scientists to pay due regard to their ‘acts’. The Church is the best testimony, in giving full credence and acceptance to these divine persons and their divine powers e.g. Mother Teresa’s beatification---on the basis of ‘miracle’---is the latest example. India is special in spiritual field and is considered a holy land, wherein only the incarnation of God in human form takes birth. Even now such ‘advent’ has taken place!
If the rationalists are suspicious about these ‘events’, it is not their fault entirely. There are two main reasons which breed suspicion. The first is of their own making: without, first, acquiring the requisite qualifications---as in general fields of education---they try to tackle a subject for which they are least qualified. No rational mind would criticize or condemn an opponent without the application of logic. That is possible if the condemner is equally---if not better, proficient in the subject of his ire. On the other hand, very few persons can claim to be authentic masters of spiritualism. The term ‘master’ is used in spiritual Sadhna, because it is the only subject in which perfection is possible! Otherwise in all subjects relating to the ephemeral world, mastery over Nature is not possible: even the knowledge or the tools discovered so far are insignificant to acquire mastery in any one of its aspects. For the acquisition of latter’s expertise, usage of physical tools is essential, as the object of enquiry as the Universe is also physical, and the tools devised from it are of the same nature. Whereas in case of spiritualism, only the tool of self-enquiry is employed! True spiritualism is the path of enquiry (Aathmik-Vidhya) of knowing the Self. It is not the science of Nature, but the ‘knowledge’ of the Self. The tools employed in both the cases, is intelligence--- the mind. In spirituality the term intelligence gets transformed into wisdom; in science it retains its basic identity. Acquired knowledge is intelligence, whereas spiritual Jnaanam is wisdom, the real intellect.
Now we have to look at the qualification of an intellectual---a spiritually elevated soul, a Jnaani, a Super-Conscious entity. This is of prime importance, as the learned fraternity would demand to know the degrees earned by these spiritual personas, as a mark of their authenticity. Like scholars, there are many learned persons, who have complete mastery over scriptures. They are as proficient in their fields as any scholar of general education. But there are very few, who are quite adept in the knowledge of the Self. The simple reason being it involves a dedicated life, entirely devoted to the pursuit of spiritual Sadhna. It is not a part time education. It is whole time commitment, which requires of the seeker, understanding (mastering) his senses-mind-intellect-ego, and finally the Self---which is his true self, the inner-Self. How do we distinguish such a Jnaani at different levels of his elevation! Nothing difficult or doubtful imposition about it! Like natural science, inner science too has its levels of elevation, which are easily discernable.
Before coming to that, let us again be clear about the purpose of this research or search. At least the ls is very clear in his aim and purpose. Even his path is clearly defined, for he knows, not only the purpose but the end goal of the search. It is in that direction, he is making this attempt. In the process, there might have been endlessly turbulent impediments, but the ‘reward’ has been worth it. He is as content and self-contained, as a vessel full of water, or the other way round (both connote the same condition). There is hardly any sound of gurgling of noisy thoughts; or for that matter any kind of thought! Seriously speaking, there is no more any desire---to seek more or know any more! As everything---the ls, need to ‘know’--- is clear and without any blemish of doubt!
