Amongst the living beings, in different classes, constituting the entire dwelling world, rare is human birth. Rarer is coming into contact with Satguru (proper master) for attainment of God-competencies, the simple purpose of human existence. Rarer nevertheless is the opportunity to serve the genuine master for spreading the message of fact and the rarest of all is to treat all of humanity as your personal family unit!
If we peruse the literature concerning spiritual idea down the ages within the shape of scriptures, epics and different philosophic treatises, we will very without difficulty establish the entire genuine Masters, Prophets, sages and seers, who embodied the Mainstream of Spirituality once in a while and transmitted it to their precious successors for continuing it additional and extra. it's during this context that it is said, "Prophet is declared to be the oldest and the latest on the planet, just like the day and nighttime which have followed every other down the a long time and are still ever new." (Atharvaveda 10:eight:23) every proper master (Prophet) is not the originator however best the newest revealer of the divine talents.
on every occasion there's decline of righteousness and the forces of rely (Maya) tighten their stranglehold on the human intellect, it becomes a cosmic compulsion, a non secular necessity, to retrieve the situation to normalcy and re-set up the legislation of Dharma through the instrumentation of Revelation (Brahm Gyan). The Mainstream of Spirituality again manifests itself on the realm reveal.
This brings out that true Masters, Prophets of God confer with the same Formless spirit besides the fact that children their embodiments stored on changing. they've been truly keeping average threads with each other, carrying on and weaving the equal sample of spirituality till date. The four leading pillars on which the Mainstream of Spirituality have all the time rested are, in the beginning, Formless God is cosmic and belongs to all. Secondly, His revelation is feasible handiest via real master of the day. Thirdly, any kind of rites and rituals performed for any size of time, cannot aid realizing or seeing God. Fourthly, all of the actual Masters who blessed the seekers with revelation of one Formless God, taught their disciples to imbibe qualities of humanism, altruism, humility, love, mercy, compassion and repair of mankind and their teachings transcend time and location.
The everlasting continuity of genuine Masters (Prophets) with their revelation of one Formless God, the manner of humanization and rearrangement of human family members on the basis of love and humility signify the leading facets of the Mainstream of Spirituality on the planet. during this background, all of the prophets and the mentioned scriptures are part and parcel of the mainstream. The entire content material of spirituality and the essence of humanism belong handiest to the mainstream.
Lord Jesus Christ the presiding deity and prophet of the brand new testament embodied the Mainstream of Spirituality in his life time, along with his revealing teachings in the Holy Bible, carrying a crisp message to the weary world:-
"If God is all you have,
you have all you need". (St. John. 14:8)
holding in mind the occasion of imminent, "Merry Christmas Day" it is price understanding the Holy Message of Lord Jesus Christ in letter and spirit and translate it into action in our lifestyles as estimated within the Mainstream of Spirituality.
THE historic testomony
As God is one and Omnipresent, he's cosmic and customary to all. all the prophets of the historical testament have total settlement on this. God of 1 prophet is also the God of the other prophets. Being one, god can't be divided or sub-divided. simplest any such God is to be worshipped.
As per the ancient testomony, man changed into made in the image of God, advanced to all species, having inherent vigor to understand God.
The prophets rejected the deadwood of spiritual rites and put forth the conception of true worshipper. As a social being man wants wisdom, which is more constructive than fabric wealth. changing the hard appearance skill making one humble and lovely.
there is additionally a reference that remembrance of God may still begin in adolescence.
"bear in mind your Creator within the day of your youth, before the times of main issue come and the years strategy when you will say, I discover no pleasure in them".
(Ecclesiastes 12.1)
The Holy Bible refers to the Ten Commandments. the primary 5 relate to our love and worship of God, while the remaining five refer to our responsibility and repair to our society. Like two facets of the same coin, these are inseparable and provides us coherent tips, "Worship and love for God and repair to man go hand in hand."
the new testomony
the brand new testament and the old testament have quintessential relation with each other. St. Augustine has rightly mentioned :
the new testomony was in the old hid, The historic testomony is within the New printed."
Jesus Christ is the presiding deity and the prophet of the brand new testomony who embodied the Mainstream of Spirituality in his life time. Jesus clarified that he was carrying on with the historical prophetic way of life and pleasurable their commandment. He referred to:
"don't believe that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets;I have not come to abolish them, however to satisfy them."
(Matthew. 5-17)
All this indicates that Jesus had nothing different to display to the individuals. He preached the identical because the earlier prophets had preached. His commandments were the same as those of
the prior prophets. Jesus additionally preached that God is One, Formless and Spirit. The primary commandments according to the old testomony is:
Lord is One.
Love thy God with your whole heart and
with your whole soul and with all
your power."
The identical commandment is given by way of Jesus in the New testomony:-
"Love the Lord your God
with all of your coronary heart and with your whole soul;
and with your entire mind. here's the
first and gold standard commandment." (Matthew: 22.37)
This establishes kinship of Jesus with all his preceding Hebrew prophets. He continued the identical historical way of life enshrined within the Mainstream of Spirituality, which involving worship of 1 Formless God because the ideal fact of cosmos.
Two points are of primary value in the philosophy of Jesus. in the beginning, before worship of God, one should be aware of what God is; and secondly, God is to be worshipped as Spirit handiest. Any transgression from here's no longer permitted through Jesus. So whosoever wants to observe and apply the teachings of Jesus Christ he has to achieve useful capabilities of God as Spirit, as Formless Being and then most effective he may also be a true worshipper. There is no exception to this divine principle. Jesus has used the be aware 'should' in this commandment i.e. "ought to worship in Spirit". Any dilution or deviation from this commandment will take away the essence out of what Jesus preached and died for. to quote;
"God is a Spirit; and that they that worship Him
have to worship Him in Spirit and in truth" (St. John four-24)
Revelation via Prophet
an extra crucial element of the Mainstream is that God is typical handiest through the dwelling modern prophet. Jesus says:
"nobody is aware of the son
apart from the daddy, and no one
is aware of the daddy apart from the son
and people to whom the son chooses. (Matthew: 11.27)
This indicates the inherent relationship of dad and the son (i.e. Prophet). the two exist together. If we don't understand or meet the prophet (son), we can't understand or meet God (Father). There isn't any wrong way. The most effective manner is through the son (Prophet). Jesus says:
"i'm the gate, whoever enters
via me might be saved." (St. John. 10-9)
and what is the burden of the Prophet? What does the prophet demand from the seeker in turn for provide of Revelation? simplest give up and a humble request:
"Ask, and it shall receive you; seek and ye shall discover;
knock and it shall be opened unto you."
(St. Matthew 7-7)
Social aspect
Love and humility are the highlight of the Mainstream. Jesus prized these values and declared that the humblest are the optimum in the kingdom of Heaven. vanity and satisfaction haven't any place within the useful lifetime of spirituality. He says:
Whosoever shall exalt himself will be abased;
And he that shall humble himself will likely be exalted. (St. Matthew 23.12)
All these references reflect a transparent vision of Lord Jesus who stood for humanism, love and humility. "Love of God, and love of man" are both pillars on which his teachings are based. in response to Jesus the entire law and the prophets dangle on these two commandments.
(St. Matthew 22.37.39)
The different features take the back seat and basically owe their existence simplest to love of God and love of mankind. These two spiritual postulates evolve long lasting brotherly love in the society, which can be a pre-requisite for prosperity and development of the society at tremendous. whenever these two features disappear, the social castle crumbles down.
ordinary are the methods of the realm, it first kills its remarkable guys and latter worships them to be remembered continuously.
