The Genius of India
Genius is greatness of the Mind that knows
all that is relevant to one's subject, not by plodding search or research, but
by virtue of one's being a genius. A genius is born, not made. In the
occult worlds, there is a place where the memory of the earth is stored. He who
can go there will have access to it. Inside us, there are zones where
Sachchidananda is known as trikaladrshti, and prior to that another zone where
all the knowledge one needs is stored. One who can go beyond the waking mind –
Jagratha – can have its benefit. The theory is all knowledge comes from above
and is available inside. Intuition gives us access to it.
The 64 Sastras
of yore were created in that fashion. Legend has it that a princess who met a
prince parted by a curtain drew his portrait. She said she could do so as the
toe of the prince was seen under the curtain. The science of physiognomy –
Samutrika angalakshanam — enables one to know the whole figure from one part of
it. It is a subtle science. Crossing the faculty of intellect through the aid of
insight, one enters the zone of Intuition which enables one to have such
knowledge.
The soil of India is saturated with Shanti, spiritual peace.
The bodies of Indians carry Spiritual light. India is a land of Rishis. Spirit
is our very breath. In order to cultivate that Spirit and culture its growth in
our lives, what is needed is total Truthfulness. Science in the West is true to
the core when it comes to its facts. Facts, findings are sacred to them as the
swaram, pronunciation is to the Vedic scholar. Indian soil will put forth not
one, but innumerable men of genius, when her poverty is transformed into
prosperity and those who aspire to Spirit cultivate it by TRUTH in word and
deed. Man needs a goal, must aspire for perfection and needs a binding conduct
that ennobles him. His goal is the Spirit; the law of binding conduct is to
honour his swabhava nature. He seeks divine perfection in
life.
