Secularism and Spiritualism
True welfare of the humanity is possible by the combined efforts of
secular and spiritual aspects of human life. Secular developments
provide
material ingredients and worldly information, whereas spiritual
developments
bestow knowledge about the reality and realization of the absolute
reality.
If the secularism is not assisted by spirtualism, it fails in
achieving
real welfare. As long a s a person is alive, he needs food, shelter,
education,
wealth, employment etc. When the spirit leaves the body, all that
person
needs is just cremation and burial. Although the individual spirit or
atma
can never be proved or disproved in any scientific laboratories of the
world, yet that spirit alone is basis of all the existence. Godless
secularism
of a non-spiritual society is nothing but a lifeless body which needs
just
a burial ground and cremation. Just as food, medicine, education,
entertainment,
science and civilization have no relevance to a dead body, similarly
all
these factors have no relevance to a godless society. None of these
amenities
can do any real help to the non-spiritual society. Every worldly effort
of the godless secularism for solving problems result in creating more
and more problems, without being able to solve any of them. The only
course
available for this spiritless dogma is total destruction along with its
followers. In fact , secularism is the shadow of spiritualism. The
fourfold
animal instincts and material information resulting in empiric
logic
is the domain of secularism; real knowledge and transcendental
realization
is the domain of spiritualism. All the information provided by
secularism
is relative to time, place and persons which always varies from time to
time, place to place and person to person. The knowledge provided by
spiritualism
transcends the limitations of time, place and person, therefore it is
absolute
and eternally unchangeable. Spiritual literatures called as puranas
provide
the eternal spiritual information to the human beings. The derivation
of
purana is said to be “Pura api nava iti” they are the older than the
oldest
and simultaneously newer than the newest. Secularism provides material
necessities and apparent knowledge whereas spiritualism provides real
knowledge
and absolute realization. The noble qualities of the pure heart are the
gift of spiritual wisdom. Neglecting the spiritual aspect of human life
produces clever devils who destroy the well being of the humanity. All
the noble human values get rooted out in a Godless society. Every
right-thinking
person should strive to save the society from the clutches of atheistic
secularism. The fact is that ,no, problem is a problem for
spiritualism,
whereas no solution is a solution for materialism.
