We began
this series with three stories. We discussed a few things without losing a
touch with those stories. We discussed about our connection with our past. We
also discussed a little about our connectivity with our future. We are thinking
and discussing things in the present; we can’t disconnect ourselves with our
present. As such, we will always have a lot to discuss about our present;
because our present is the most important aspect of our life, with indelible
imprints of the past and possibilities for the future. We have just started;
and, have miles to go.
It is the
right time that we pause for a while and talk about what we have in mind. When
we say ‘Spiritual Process’, each word conveys its meaning to us. ‘Spiritual’
means something different from what is purely physical, i.e. without any life.
We will always apply our common sense to understand what is ‘living’ and what
is ‘non-living’. Anything that has the inherent capability to transform itself,
grow and decay and change its physical from due to that inherent ability; we
will treat as living. Men, animals, birds, fish, plants, trees, grass and
different living organisms; all come in this category.
We will accept that the
grass under our feet has a spiritual existence. A germinated seed is different from
a big bunch of Barium atoms holding themselves tightly together due to inter-atomic
attractive forces.
After having
said this much, let me ‘review’ the preceding paragraph. Why we or a tree has
some inherent ‘property’ to appear in physical form, change, grow, decay and
finally cease to exist in a physical form that is ‘live’? Why do we have an
inherent property to resist decay and death?
Why is it that an atom of Barium
(an element) if placed at a very short distance from another Barium atom, starts
attracting the other with a strong force? We know that as human beings, we have
not been able to answer many questions that begin with ‘why’. Here in ‘Vagdevi
Spiritual Process’, we will not agree to associate such questions with any kind
of ‘mysticism’ that can only be revealed only through some inexplicable and ‘magical’
methods. Here, in this ‘Spiritual Process’ we will most humbly but courageously
accept our inadequacy, and would commit ourselves to prepare ourselves better
than ever before, to explore and to know.
All living
beings are continuously changing. The universe with all living and non-living
existing there is changing. Even if there is any ‘static state’ at any point of
time, we, as human beings, have no ability to perceive it. That is why; we do
not accept that there is any kind of ladder with several steps of spiritual
knowledge or realizations. There can’t be any levels or states. If we realize
and honestly accept that we hardly know enough about the truth in things, and
that we don’t have answers to all the questions relating to life; but are ready
and willing to make serious efforts for moving continuously in forward
direction to know what must be known; we would say we are positively aligned to
our spiritual existence.
In this part
of the series, we tried to tell you why we call it ‘Spiritual Process’. We plan
to devote next four parts to offer our explanations on few more points and
trust that, thereafter, we will be able to communicate remaining within a
smaller bandwidth of the frequencies of our thoughts and comprehension. We will
try that the next four parts are released and posted on the site within next
ten days.
We are quite
hopeful and enthusiastic about our conversation.
