Lecture - 2
I have suggested last week that philosophy is not something which starts with doubt or ends in doubt. Neither does it start with wonder. Philosophy is love of the Ultimate reality and to know and love and live in that Reality is the real meaning of philosophy. But, just as every good word has fallen into evil tongues and evil mouths, philosophy also has fallen into evil tongues. That is why nobody likes the word philosophy. There was a time when every science was called philosophy. Now no science is called philosophy.
It was suggested in Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga, and Master himself has stated in the 'Reality at dawn' that 'the end of religion is the beginning of spirituality, the end of spirituality is the beginning of Reality and the end of Reality is the beginning of Bliss. Reality goes beyond all spiritual, religious and philosophical systems.
The ideology of Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga has to be propagated. That is why this book was written. What is the ideology of Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga which is different from the ideologies that have come into philosophy for the last two thousand years? Philosophy, for some, means merely observation or experience through senses. Or, it is something that is improved on the basis of the senses or it is something that is an interpretation of the revelations which have been made by certain extraordinary people. And the extraordinary people might have recorded what they have seen but we are expected to take with good trust and not even verify it. One can question them only at the cost of excommunication as in the west. The last word has been said and we cannot change a letter in the word nor can a verb be changed in the sentence.
I do not concede the claim that we have triumphed the Nature. Nature has its vengeance on everything. Nature will modify every good thing. I therefore, consider most of the revelations to be beautified ancient Truths. If you are a person who wants to find out what should have been the original fossil, well you may try it. You can use carbon tests and other tests. After all, you cannot get the bones of Reality. Those bones in Sanskrit are called Asthi. I do not say they are false. I say they have to be recovered, and
