Contemplation –Self-enquiry

In the scientific era we live in, we are taught to think and act in a attitude of enquiry. By making
amazing discoveries about the outer world, modern scientists have made a significant contribution to
a big deal to announce new scientific era. The scientists and thinkers of the present
generation must shift from the age of enquiry to a period of contemplation to improve
their intellectual evaluation. Their enquiry and research have so far been in the outer
world and they must now shift their field of enquiry from the world of the ‘object’ to the
‘subject’, the enquirer himself. Subjective enquiry should be done within oneself,
referred to as "contemplation". our ancient Rsis and Äcäryas, concluded that the
experiencer, the subject, is the counterpart of the experienced, and further explored the
nature of the experiencer and the mechanism by which they gain their experiences.
Man is the experiencer who gains experiences of the world outside through his body,
mind and intellect. Through his body with its five sense organs, he experiences form,
sound, smell, taste and touch. These experiences form, sound, smell, taste and touch,
constituting the world of objects. Everyone experiences three different worlds while
living: through the body, mind, and intellect. Through the body, mind, and intellect,
people gain experiences of feelings, emotions, and ideas. The most important details in
this text are that the subject is not the body, mind, or intellect, but rather the principle,
which is the substratum for all the experiences of the body, mind, and intellect. The
subject is not the field of experiences, nor the instruments of experiences, but rather
the principle, which is the substratum for all the experiences of the body, mind, and
intellect. The body, mind and intellect are inert and insentient, meaning they have no
intelligence to independently gather their vivid experiences. An electric bulb has no
incandescence, but when electricity flows through it, it gains a glow and lustre of its
own. An engine has no capacity of its own to move, but when energy passes through it,
it gains the power to function. The body, mind and intellect express life and sentiency
only when they are in association with the life principle. The Divine Principle is the
"Atman" or Self, according to Vedänta. It is the same Principle as the electrical energy
running through various equipment and expressing differently. It holds all objects
together as a string that holds flowers of different shapes and colours, enabling all of
them to gain their own experiences.

The Divine Principle:-

The principle of “Isvara”, Khudä, Buddha, all indicates the same Divine Principle. Heat
and cold are the perceptions of the body, happiness and sorrow are the feelings of the
mind, and beauty and ugliness are the conceptual judgments of the intellect. But when
we are with the subject that lends sentiency to all these equipment, then one is not
tainted by any of these experiences gained. Men who live in love, compassion and
service, conquering time and space in culture, civilizations religion, philosophy,
spirituality and mysticism fulfil the process of evolution and human intellect.
Man to Godhood:-

Religion promises no magical changes in sense objects or their arrangements. It enables


the faithful to face life with a greater liveliness and psychological balance. The external
world of objects remains the same, but the experiences provided by them are different
for different individuals. The common factor in all experiences is that our minds must
react with the world of objects. The world of objects has no control over us, so if we can
control, train and culture our minds to react positively to all sets of objects and under all
sets of circumstances, we will experience happiness and peace. We will also gain a
capacity to remain in a safe island within and witness the storms of passions that madly
blast about us. If we are true followers of religion, we can gain a mental equipment
which can keep a steady poise and balance under all circumstances.
