Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality1

Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality.

Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality.

Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality.

Western dynamism lives in its searching mind and manifesting vital. Eastern spirituality lives in its crying heart and illumining soul.

Spirituality is the inner urge of an Eastern seeker to see God face to face and realise God in His totality. Dynamism is the vital urge of a hero Westerner to reveal God and manifest God here on earth.

Dynamism serves God. Spirituality loves God.

The body’s dynamism is regularity. The vital’s dynamism is punctuality. The mind’s dynamism is clarity. The heart’s dynamism is purity. The soul’s dynamism is certainty.

The body’s spirituality is simplicity. The vital’s spirituality is sincerity. The mind’s spirituality is humility. The heart’s spirituality is spontaneity. The soul’s spirituality is Reality.

AUM

A dynamic man is quick on his feet to reach his destined Goal, the Goal of the Beyond. A spiritual man is quick with his answers and pleases God, the Inner Pilot, in His own Way.

Dynamism is life’s capacity. Spirituality is the soul’s necessity. The aura of outer success surrounds a dynamic man. The aura of inner progress surrounds a spiritual man.

A dynamic man is a Karma Yogi. He devotes himself to the path of action, disinterested action — implicit devotion and surrendering service to God. A spiritual man is a Jnana Yogi. He tries to live in the knowledge of God, with his awakened and illumined mind and heart.

Dynamism invites God. Spirituality receives God. Yoga achieves God.

Western dynamism wants to shoulder the responsibility of the entire world. Eastern spirituality tries and cries to know what God’s Will is, what God wants.

Western dynamism needs the aspiration of Eastern spirituality, in order to please God in the inner world. Eastern spirituality needs the inspiration of Western dynamism, in order to please God in the outer world.

Western dynamism has to learn the secret of Eastern spirituality: Love is God, God the Supreme Lover. Eastern spirituality has to learn the secret of Western dynamism: God is the Supreme Warrior, the Supreme Victor, over teeming ignorance and darkening death.

God needs Western dynamism to offer His Omnipotence-Light to the world at large. God needs Eastern spirituality to offer His ocean of Love and Peace to the World at large.

Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality are two wings of God, the Eternal Bird, that will carry the message of earth’s aspiration to the highest abode of the Supreme and will bring down the message of infinite Compassion from the highest abode of the Supreme to the aching, crying consciousness of Mother Earth.

When Western dynamism and Eastern spirituality become inseparably one, God will be known as a fulfilled Man and man will be known as a perfect God.
