The true mark of a spiritual man is to know himself, to understand his limits and to act in accordance to his limitless power. He is immune to the external influences and reacts to no instigations from without, his mind is free from the laws that governs the material plane. A truely spiritual man is a very rare individual who walks the earth but is not affected by it, who picks the lotus without getting his fingers wet. The Prophets of Allah MUhammad (SWS), Isa (As) and Musa (As) were among the spritual men of the Judeo Christian Tradition, The Buddha, Lao Tzu and Thoth (Trimejestic) were of the others including men like the Maharshi and Sri Yogananda, men whose life was absorbed in the quest for the ultimate Truth.The Truth that liberates man from his worldly dimension and set him in the realm of the Devine, the realm of Light or Enlightenment.
Throughout the history of man we have been striving for the achievement of an understanding of our true nature our what or who we are and what is our reason for our being here. The scientific as well as the humanistic schools of our academical institutions have left no rocks unturned and spared no expense at attempting to unravel the mysteries that has eluded us from the dawn of time overcoming our ignorance that has shrouded the truth and veiled the Light that we seek. Every Scientific discoveries, every mathematical equation, every spiritual awakening that man has accomplished has set our foot closer and closer to the Ultimate Truth. Throughout history schools of thoughts and sacred religious sects have kept an ongoing vigil over the texts and wisdom of the ancients handed down from generation to generation in the hope that one day the Truth would be revealed. Ancient texts and hidden scrolls, sacred symbols and monumental constructions has become road maps for man to piece together the jigsaw puzzle that would hopefully one day be pieced together to give us a clear picture of who we are.
Those of us who pray and those of us who worship daily our various Gods. those of us who are thinkers and free thinkers, those who contemplates and meditates, who chants and evokes the spirits of our ancestors; we all have one aim and that is to find our way to the Truth. To lead our minds and spirit on to the sacred path, to unleash our hidden potentials our Devine rights as prescribed by the ancient texts and codesand the covenants. In this day and age we have arrived at the junction whereby the Truth is about to be revealed either by the Miracle of science or that of Religion failing either of this we stand to be sucked into the vortex of the dark hole of ignorance forever. Man will soon be made to choose between the Light or of Drakness, the line between the two is slowly being drwan in the deserts of the Middle East and the Pacffic ocean. The next war will not be a war of territorial claims but of man's own struggle against himself that of spiritual or that of material, his soul is at stake and the battle between Heaven and Earth, Light and Darkness, Wisdom and ignorance. To coin it in the religious term for it will eventually be a religious war it will be the battle between good and evil, whether it be the communist against the rest of the world or for a starter Islam against the Non Muslim world. Farfetched? Hardly as we are heading in the general direction already whether we wish to recognize it or not.
Someone once wrote about man being a tribal animal, whose one desire is to better his tribe under one banner and raise that banner against anyone he see as a threat to its well being. Man and his ideologies, man and his banner of freedom, man and his quest for supremacy over others govern by greed, hate and ignorance has set in motion the wheels of his own self destruction. His soul is at stake and the suffering of untold millions and millions will be the fruit of his crowning glory. History teach us nothing, the words of the ancient will only be echos of distant past for gradually we will become deaf and dumb to our own inner voices of love and compassion of our Light of Being.
