THE FLASH OF UNDERSTANDING


Since time immemorial Spiritual Knowledge has been considered to be the Supreme Knowledge. "Know Thyself" was written on the gate of the Academy of Plato , the great Greek philosopher. Self Realization is the motto of Indian culture and thought. But what is Spiritual Knowledge is has been debated down through the ages. The literal meaning of Spiritual Knowledge is " to know the Spirit". Spiritual Knowledge deals with the study of the Spirit, just as physical science deals with the study of matter.
Spirituality is neither a concept nor a dogma but a flash of understanding; in other words, an awakening of the insight that lies dormant in man. This happens when the turbulent mind becomes still and silent. The light of spirit is clouded by the dust of the flickering mind. The chattering of the mind disturbs the subtle inner rythmic sound of the Spirit. Therefore, meditation within oneself is the laboratory of Spiritual Knowledge. When a person, with the grace and guidance of the Spiritual Master, gets initiation into the inner realm of the Spirit and, through attention and proper focusing on the light of the Spirit and the subtle rythmic vibration, the fluctuation of the mind stuff slowly and gradually becomes still and silent, then the light of the Spirit is experienced as flash of understanding or insight. That is when one starts experiencing the existence of the entity called the Spirit or Soul.
