is darkness. What is the use of the sun? It comes out during the day. And during day we have daylight anyway. At night it is dark. Then the moon rises. The whole earth gets lit with moonlight. So that which spreads light in darkness is of more value. The moon is therefore more useful.”
A similar confusion has occurred in the field of philosophy. Philosophy is useful because through that we gain knowledge of matter, of creation, of the soul (atma) and the paramatma. Life is not ever tackled. It is kept separate. But only that is accepted as philosophy. This is similar to saying why know of the uses of the sun? Only the moon that lights up the night is usefui. The sun has no use in contemporary times,
Due to this confusion in the world of philosophy, there have been many catastrophes. Today it is essential to change this vision.
A gentleman called attention to my goal by saying, "Today you are talking of spirituality, meditation and yoga. But till now you have written only on philosophy and were completely involved in unraveling the complexities of philosophies. Today you have left them all behind and are talking of spirituality and yoga.”
