Religion in general terms being distinct from
convention, may be said to embody the philosophy, principle and,
practice of human conduct and bearing in relation to Whole Life,
pervading and energising Cosmos; these principles, practice and
philosophy apply to temporal and spiritual existence and experience;
as such the approach to study and understanding of such religion
must necessarily be integral in its character. Suddha (Sanatana)Dharma
gives the pre-eminent lead to such an approach. The expression Suddha
Dharma signifies the Law of Trascendence as a result of the Syntesis
of Spirit and Matter co-functioning in the evolutionary World-process
which obtain through all time.
The Supreme Spirit or Suddha Brahm or Supreme God in its very nature
trascends time and space and it is the goal who suddha aspirants
search in their own spiritual heart though Suddha meditation exercises.
Suddha Brahm in its primal expression is triple, being known as:
Life Principle, Energy Principle and Matter Principle, and all those
elements also constitutes the main structure that forms the bodies
of all creatures in the cosmos into an evolutionary and eternal
process.
In order to know this divine functioning, Suddha Dharma leads to
aspirants to practice spiritual excercises or meditations and such
practices varies with individual development with reference to their
increasing evolutionary responsiveness.
Besides constant study, meditation and selfless actions in own life,
Suddha Dharma enjoins on every aspirant the practice of RAYA YOGA
or Suddha Meditation. This meditation has to be conducted on three
levels of man’s consciousness with the reference to the triple
aspect of BRAHMA, namely SAGUNA or FORM, NIRGUNA or WITHOUT FORM
and SUDDHA or the Trascendence of both mentioned.
Such meditation also called DHYANA includes the raising of normal
consciousness in man from lower to higher levels, maintaining him
a mental attitude of universal unity to the inmanent aspect of Divinity
as Atman.
An intensive aid to this practice is furnished by intoning mantras
or syllabes of power that purifies the body, heart and mind to the
aspirant who wishes a divine contact with God in its own spiritual
heart.
The results of these knowledge and spiritual exercises leads to
aspirant to follow by himself a peaceful, wise and lovely life,
in order to serve everyboby in the suffering mankind. |
