DEEPER HINDU REVELATIONS: A HOLISTIC SPIRITUAL

PERSPECTIVE

From: koosradha@gmail.com, Mauritius.

The VEDAS proclaim (Gayatri mantra):

AUM

AUM BHUH, AUM BHUVAH, AUM SVAH, AUM

MAHAH, AUM JANAH, AUM TAPAH, AUM SATYAM,

AUM TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM, BHARGO DEVASYA

DHIMAHI

DHIYO YO NAH PRACHODAYAT

AUM APO JYOTIH RASOMRITAM BRAHMA BHUR

BHUVAH SVAR AUM.

AUM is the one spirit animating the whole universe or existence.

AUM becomes mere existence, existing objects (bhuh- static, material

state), moving and feeling entities (dynamic, evolving- bhuvah),

thinking and reflecting beings (self-conscious - svah), scientific, rationalpersons (wider perspective than self-consciousness- mahah), awakened

human beings (consciousness of humankind in the individual- janah),

hatching expanding consciousness (consciousness of totality in

individuality- tapah), and the truth (pure being- satyam).

AUM is that (tat) glorious (varenyam) source of everything (savitur)-

whether material, mental or spiritual-, effulgence of (devasya) the

ultimate (bhargo) principle which is fit to be meditated upon (dhimahi).

May that (yo) realization born out of meditation (dhiyo) guide and

enlighten (prachodayat) us (nah).

Aum is all-pervading like space (apo), a light unto itself (jyotir), a most

subtle essence (rasam) that cannot be eliminated (amritam) by any

means whatsoever. For AUM is self-existence (bhur), self-cognizance

(bhuvah), and self-fulfilling (svah).

Such is the glory of the one spirit, which is one without a second, the

truth, the substratum, substance and soul of everything that is known,knowable, unknown and unknowable.

It is only when an individuals consciousness rises from the

individualistic self-consciousness to the indivisible integrated

consciousness that spirituality comes into being. The higher and finer

dimensions of AUM or the One Timeless Original Principle, which is

Absolute,

Unmanifest,

Manifest, can be realized only in the awakened,

boundless, motionless, centreless, silent Presence of the mind, which is

the common and shared space and moment of all living beings,

especially human beings.

Meditation means leaving the grosser, structured outer dimensions of

self to penetrate the inner, subtler and finer realms of the Presence of the

mind. Meditation starts at the individual human body-breath-brain level

but flows through the collective human and universal mind into theindivisible and absolute Being or Presence.

AUM is one spirit becoming the whole of existence and the totality of

humanity or human consciousness existing in space at any given point in

time. Humanity or human consciousness, born out of the universal

movement and individualization process, is one, dual and multiple at the

same time. It is one as the human mind or consciousness, which has

become dual as manhood (Manu or Adam) and womanhood (Shakti orEve or Av) in order to individualize or become individual units, which

are multiple in forms, shapes, humours, colours and personalities

(shatarupa). The individuals or personals are called Manav, Admi,

Avrat, etc.

Each personal or person is but a particular representative or partial form

(avatar) of humanity. The persons exists in humanity and by humanity

and likewise humanity exists through the persons; but the totality of all

persons at any given point in time or at all possible points in time doesnot make the totality of humanity. The whole is more than the sum of all

its parts and constituents. It is humanity who becomes each and every

person through the process of procreation. It is humanity who is born at

each birth of a person and who dies at the death of each person. It is

humanity that constantly takes birth and embraces death. The theory of

reincarnation applies to humanity or the global human consciousness

and not to any partial personal, which is but a manifest sample of the

unmanifest population. Rebirth means humanity being born in new

forms through procreation. Redeath means humanity discarding yet

another partial body. Rebirth and redeath are proper to humanity while

birth and death are proper to individual persons. This reality cannot be

realized by a person who is still at the mahah stage or sensory-mental-

intellectual-rational level. It can only be realized and appreciated by one

who has at least reached the janah dimension through deep reflection

and contemplation.

Humanity or the universal in and as human consciousness (janah) has an

identity, a being of its own. It operates through its personal or individual

agencies or representatives, which are subjected to a number of factors,

forces and conditions linked to the procreative, individualization,

genetic, environmental, climatic, cultural, adaptive and transgenerational

processes. It is those partial personal agencies, as representatives of the

absolute, universal, human, ancestral and parental principles, who take

birth, grow, evolve, experience, act, react, procreate, bequeath, decay,

die, decompose and disappear. They are but particular waves of the

ocean, leaves of the tree, letters of the word, sentences of the story

script.

Humanity, through its partial personal entities performs actions (karma),

which produce consequences (karmaphala) to the immediate, actual

initiator of such actions during his lifespan as well as to others related

and unrelated to him, to the present environment and populations and tothe future ones. Its a complex process that sweeps wider, larger, deeper

and longer than any personal mind could think or imagine. This is the

law of action and consequences or Karma. This law applies mainly to

human consciousness or humanity and affects humanity as a whole,

present manifestations as well as future incarnations of humanity.

Restriction of the realities of Karma and Reincarnation to the individual

instead of the global was a major mistake committed by brains operatingat a lower level of consciousness and had led to a distortion of a law that

applies not just to humanity but to any species, for that matter. In

natures mind, so to say, humanhood, doghood, cathood, lionhood, or

any other biological-hood, for that matter, operate under the same

universal laws with only minimal variations depending on the level of

evolution of the species.

Please, meditate, reflect, test and check for yourself the validity of thesefindings.
