The Art of Ascendancy for the evolution of soul is that blend of Philosophy and Science, which gives a seeker to understand that the purpose of the religion is not simply to reunite with the Mother Nature and explore Her mysteries. According to Gurbani too much of knowledge becomes such a burden that person it creates fear and craving to win by arguments. The Science is subject matter of Shaankh Yoga in which one first detaches himself or herself from Mother Nature and then acquires knowledge by all possible means.
This very detachment seems to be the root cause of self-attachment. On the other hand, the Philosophy is subject matter of for reuniting with the self, the introvert’s approach for research. According to Gurbani, the subject matter of research is to find and reunite with one’s self that leads to reunion with the Supreme Spirit, which works behind the activities of Mother Nature.
The irony is that the supreme spirit is not attached to Mother Nature either it just His Maya, the power that appears real, like a movie on the screen. The still higher irony is that Maya means that what is there but not there. For example when we see a person standing in front of us, one may be far away in the thoughts. One appears there but is not there.
The very thing that makes us present over there, where our conscious is. Scientifically, we are detached but attached to the frame of reference that is our own, whereas philosophically we are attached to the conscious and it is by its own virtue detached from Mother Nature, yet playing its significant role in the Nature. Now, at the conscious level the frame of reference is not our own, rather it is universal, that is, a single frame of reference for all things and activities.
We will discuss about it in the next part. Thanks!
