Foreword

Since beginning of civilisation deep spiritual quest has been a part of human nature. Over years of questioning and seeking answers to life's imponderables, the collective wisdom of human mind has discovered that the spiritual way of living is the way to fulfilment in life. All can find this fulfilment while remaining fully involved and engaged in our day to day activities. It is the way life is meant to be lived.

The burning problem is the apparent contradiction of ethics and basic values of spiritual philosophy and the philosophy of the worldly life we lead. The solution lies in the clarity in understanding of both the worlds, testing them with one's Buddhi and Viveka - intelligence and discerning power - and discovering that the Spiritual way of living is indeed as practical and as rational as our day to day life truly demands.

Knowledge per se is of not much use unless it is applied to life and inspire right living.

This is possible. A true Yogi is he who constantly translates the spiritual wisdom into a way of living. This endeavor of remaining all the time engaged (Yukta) in practical application of the knowledge, differentiates between human living and animal existence.

This will be more clear as we go along the current article and other artcles in the series and try to understand such topics as:

The Universal Problem	Understanding the Lord's creation in our perspective
Understanding our own position	The Question of continuous development
The Individuality of human birth	Our Work as the determinant to our development
Human Initiative	The Role of mind
Spiritual Development for all	Concept of Maya
Life and Death, Yoga etc.	The Path of Progress

It is within the powers of every individual - not requiring too much effort - to develop a clear understanding and discover for himself a qualitative transformation.

This Web Page "Ahwan" would periodically deal with subjects related to spiritual approach to life from Sri Bimal Mohanty. The underlying idea is to share this universal knowledge through which many have benefitted.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We have been discussing to start study of UPANISHADS for some time. We have been postponing it for long for the simple reason that with so many enlightening explanations available and classes being undertaken, is there a real need?

Answer was given by a friend from outside India who does not have easy access to such aids. “With anything of such beauty and sblimity, there can be no end to satisfaction in visiting again and again.” The Upanishads contain that beautiful and universal truth.

From September 2010 issue we shall start “Upanishadsara”-the essence of Upanishads- beginning with a preamble and then take up MUNDAKA.

If going through them helps you in a small way to come closer to Sanatan philosophy, that will be the Lord’s wish and our efforts will be rewarded.”
