In the Hindu conception of space-time the idea that the outer world is the product of the creative play of
Maya (illusion) and , consequently, that ~the world as we know it is not real
and concrete, but illusory, is very important. The universe is a constant flow
with various levels of reality: the man's primary task is to leave the
space-time of the material universe and attain Moksha (liberation).
If our consciousness and our spirit were to open up completely, we would be able to understand of every other
existence.
This would be thanks to the mere
fact that we exist, not to our senses or intelligence. This marvellous
perception is of divine origin.
When our soul, freed from sin,
egoistical habits and prejudices, unites with the spirit, it penetrates each
and every thing and truly transcends every discrimination. We must become
conscious of everything, understand that each day the path of comprehension,
participation, dialogue opens up in front of us.
In the political and social scene
the sons of white men and those of black men, who now always stand opposed to
one another, will be ready to unite in love and become brothers.
Our disordered way of life, made
disgusting by hatred, scorched by rage, is neither harmonious nor peaceful. We
are human beings born amongst other human beings; in us coexist many different
tendencies that help us to live with others and exchange joy and other
essentials.
Only if we succeed in achieving
complete union between intelligence, love and individual strength, can we say
we have become truly liberated.
