ANCIENT HINDU PHILOSOPHY
Hindu
philosophy can be found in the
monumental collection of hymes known as SOMHITAS,earlist of which is Rigveda
one of four VEDA’S. Our SANATAN DHARMA IS NOT A RELIGION but a system of
knowledge derieved through patient and persistent enquiry into the purpose of
man’s existence. In the quest to understand the world of matter they(Saints) noted that
diverse form of nature not only decay but also
a resurgence of life for example
a butterfly dies but before it dies it lays eggs from which other butterfly
emerges.
They
further noted a pattern of opposites as
day andnight,life-death –they also concluded
a pattern of cause and effect.Which is underlying principle of creation
in the world of phenomena. Again there is intellect beyond the senses,since
pure conscious is not perceived by the senses,it can not be the subject of the
law of time,space and causation,so it is permanent.
They
went on conclude that all things are inter- related and inter- connected,any
imabalnce would cause harm to all. Dharama is eternal law which governs the
universe. Eternal truth is sustain by moral duties that uphold all about truth.SANATANA IS ETERNAL AND DHR
IS TO SUSTAIN,TO NOURISH,TO UPHOLD SO SANATAN DHARMA IS ACTUALLY ETERNAL TRUTH
HOLDER.
Being
poor might be a blessing as it would be eaier to understand the higher
spiritual values,virtue in culture.There is no connection between faith in god
and material opulence. Inter dependence in man and nature or in the area of
skill and knowledge,interdependence is the matrix of all life on
earth,interdependence means interaction,and interaction means forming of
equations,when equation is there self interst and interst of other prson also
co-exist,when a balance is there. it is called sustainable
environment,sustainable development and so on.
Conduct
is the essence of knowledge and when it is applied to conduct we have true manifestation of spirituality so knowledge has to be at two levels relating to
which has to be known and knowing that which should be apply to practice, and
knowledge will lead to undersanding its application that is about the soul.
Every body need food shelter and
clothing besides it needs love ,respect- all causes of bondage that are
associated with souls,do not injure even mother earth,water air all planet
bodies as well as animals in different stages of evolution and man.
‘Look
at the reality,try to live the reality and don’t interference with it. Let it
be as it is.You are not here to change it,but to enjoy it,so love it.That’s the
way of SANNYASIN.Once a person drops the idea of perfection he becomes natural.He is in tune with the universe and misery evaporates.’-----------OSHO
