अध्यात्म का व्याकरण

Summary

The text critiques the dominance of materialistic and power-driven approaches in global politics, economics, and culture, arguing that they have led to violence, inequality, and a loss of ethical values. It contrasts this with the neglected spiritual and emotional dimensions of human existence, which are essential for true well-being and global harmony. The author examines how disciplines like economics and politics are treated as purely material and practical, while spirituality is seen as otherworldly, yet both originate from human efforts for betterment. The discussion references Dr. Radhakrishnan’s distinction between transcendental and experiential reality, emphasizing the need for an integrated personality where intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects are balanced. The text criticizes consumerism, market culture, and the reduction of concepts like culture to mere economic terms. It points out the hypocrisy of nations preaching morality while pursuing self-interest and power, as seen in world wars and foreign policies. The author argues that true spirituality involves self-discipline, compassion, and non-attachment, as exemplified in the Bhagavad Gita and various philosophical traditions. The concept of *syadvad* in Jain philosophy is highlighted to show that no truth is absolute. The text calls for a new culture based on love, equality, and inner purity, rather than the materialistic tendencies of postmodernity. It concludes that without purifying emotions and overcoming ego and possessiveness, true global unity remains horizontal and superficial.
