Sustainable Development,Go For Neohumanism
From the books of Speaking Tree
We all strive for all-round development in every sphere of life And the path of
development may be physical, psychic, or spiritual .We also want happiness in
our lives. This panoramic world is limited and, hence, when we run after
material pleasures,name and fame, one day realisation dawns that limited
material pleasures cannot quench our unlimited thirst.
Mental
development, in other words, broadening our mental pabulum, is only possible
through spiritual practices, such as meditation. According to the book, one has
to move subjectively through objective adjustment. We cannot ignore this
material world and, hence, should strive for scientific innovations to make
life comfortable, and the fruit of scientific development should permeate to
all.
We need to build a society where everybody gets ample opportunity to develop oneself in all strata of existence- physical, mental and spiritual and also balance these three strata. In this journey, morality will be the base, sadhana, meditation, the means: and life divine, the goal. 'Moral principles' means practice of yam and niyam in everyday life. Spirituality is not a utopian idea. It can be practised in day-to-day life but needs sincerity .
We have to develop a social order wherein
basic necessities of life-food, clothing, shelter, education and medicine are guaranteed
to every one. We need to follow Bhagavat Dharma, which has four pillars-vistar,
expansion; rasa, flow: seva, self-less service, and tadstiti, Self-realisation.This
world is a thought projection of Cosmic Entity and all are progeny of Supreme
Father.
As a guardian of creation, we have an extra
responsibility to take care of plant and animal kingdoms. So, we must plan in
such a way that our development becomes sustainable in nature. When our love
transcends boundaries of humanism and includes all animate and inanimate
objects, we land in the world of Neohumanism. Neohumanism
is elixir for sustainable
development of humanity in all strata of existence -physical, mental and
spiritual. According to the book, Neohumanism is humanism of past, humanism of
present, and humanism- newly explained of future. Explaining humanity and
humanism in a new light will widen the path of human progress and will make it
easier to tread.
Neohumanism will help us realise
that we humans, as thoughtful and intel- ligent beings in this created
universe, have to accept greater responsibility of taking care of universe,
responsibility for entire universe rests on us.
Spirituality is an internal journey devoid of
all types of narrow sentiments like geo-sentiment, socio-sentiment, and
religious sentiments. For spiritua lists, only "ism' is universalism.
Every thing in this world is an expression of Supreme Father Our journey is
from crude to subtle and in this blissful Journey every one of us has equal birthright.
Endeavour to merge the unit mind with cosmic mind is true yog Yog is for our all-round development and, hence, should be
practised with utmost sincerity It is our moral responsibility to bring society
on the path of spirituality so that a feeling of love for all can be generated
in each one of us.
