Law of the Spirit

'Satyameva Jayathe' (truth alone shall succeed) is our national motto. Truth is eternal. But human understandings of it are different. Creation as a whole is subject to an evolutionary growth. Human beings are also ever growing and outgrowing. Growth means change. Hence Truth needs to be interpreted and re-interpreted from age to age. This is the task before every era. In our Indian tradition, we refer to this as 'Yuga Dharma'. If we fail to grow and change, if we fail to respond to the call of our Yuga Dharma, apathy and decay will set in. This is the law of the Spirit. At such times Divine Intervention in human history becomes imperative. A search for the 'source and roots' of Truth begins as a preparation for the Advent of the Divine. Prayers and cries of men will rise up. When that happens, the Grace of the Divine will enter into human history. Their confluence will become a new stage in the evolutionary growth of human consciousness. The Light of Truth will shine forth once again and humanity will rediscover the path of Truth. Righteousness will be reestablished. In this process, a person or a nation will be chosen by God to serve as the Divine Instrument. Many seekers of Truth and students of history will come to recognise that divinely ordained person or nation and will speak up for and join hands with that person/nation. This is the methodology and process of His Self-expression in human history often adopted by the Divine. "At this supremely dangerous moment in human history, the only way of salvation for mankind is an Indian way. The Emperor Asoka's and Mahatma Gandhi's principle of non-violence and Sri Ramakrishna's testimony to the harmony of religions: here we have the attitude and the spirit that can make it possible for the human race to grow together into a single family and, in the atomic age, this is the only alternative to destroying ourselves," so said Prof. Arnold Toynbee, one of the greatest historians of the 20th century.
