31. MISCONCEPTIONS
REGARDING CONTEMPLATION
56.
The creation may be broadly divided into two division, the animate and the
inanimate. As the highest form of animate creation in this world is man, it may
be inferred that the contemplation of his form is the contemplation of the
highest spiritual form. Such is however not the case. The intelligence of man
is operative only during the state of wakefulness. During dream it is under the
sway of impressions, and it disappears completely when the condition of deep
slumber is reached. The contemplation of the form of man would not, therefore,
be the contemplation of a pure spiritual form, but one of a physical form
possessed of a limited amount of intelligence and knowledge.
57.
If we think of the Supreme Being as an infinite expanse, something like the ethereal
sky, and contemplate Him in that form, it would be merely a contemplation of a
subjective conception derived from physical experience. A contemplation of this
kind also is not, therefore, a pure spiritual contemplation.
As brought out concentration on a formless God or on a physical human form will not provide success in spiritual practices. A living human being who has achieved complete self realisation if contemplated upon can guide the devotee in his spiritual practices and lead him towards redemption.
