MAKE ROOM FOR FREE FLOW UNTO THE INFINITE SEA OF RADIANCE

MAKE ROOM FOR FREE FLOW UNTO THE INFINITE SEA OF RADIANCE

Let us open up avenues to seeking Truth. The vast field encompasses myriad routes to the Absolute which is not so absolute in rigid bounds as the ignorant would make It out to be but is in freedom fluid, frozen though in immobile Self-consciousness It is. A peculiar paradox of freedom in freeze, reflexive Self-consciousness, dimensionless boundlessness, an indescribable state with no creed to count as Its proselytising progeny. Unity in unity and diversity in diversity characterise Reality in Its Absolute state and reality in its relativistic states. The twain never can meet. Whither religion, regulated and regulating, expecting flock to follow or slaves to abide by and convert or exile or kill infidels by way of Divine mandate? Truth is not that. It is conceivably and inconceivably grand where the follies and foibles of earthly offspring in religious observance and political pursuit thereof seem like nursery rhymes before the epic-scale composition of genius. Thus must we not force any into submission to Man or to God but must facilitate the free flow of the soul or the mind toward wherever sincere aspiration leads---Truth, truths or the Void. "Let men be thinkers," Swamiji said. So, let avenues of thought be laid open for the grand army of humanity to march through the dark of this cosmic night unto hopefully the sunlit summit of Truth-Goodness-Beauty.
