My conception of hindu faith
Conclusion
When I contemplate the clouds I think systematically of God. Like immense vessels in the sky, enormous like mountains and yet impalpable, made up of billions imperceptible water droplets. Though they are essential to the Life, born from evaporation of sea water, they vanish in a downpour after a travel of a few thousands of kilometers. and return to the sea.
I did not mention yet the syllable Om, Omkara. That can appear surprising to conclude on Om since so many mantras start with Om. One can even simply say Om as an act of devotion because all is said. Om is in fact indefinable because that is the name of God, the Supreme Truth, the Beginning the Medium and the End, c.a.d. the Life, the three state of consciousness (awakening, dream and sleep), the three spheres of the Universe, the three gunas, and much more still. First, Om is a sound, from outside towards inside the head, which helps in the concentration. Pronounced for the first time by Lord Brahma when meditating, He was inspired by this "inward breathing" and invented the alphabet, then He composed Veda (Bh. Purana XII-6). To pronounce the Om syllable is acknowledging that the Supreme Truth is incomprehensible for the human spirit. To advance that one knows this truth with certainty (definition of the dogma) it is a little like wanting to define Om. Bhagvan is the Truth, El Shaddai, Allah, God and Jesus Christ are other versions. One can say that God is almighty, everywhere at every moment but that is far from enough. He is mercy and love and yet one cannot hamper to feel that His plans are inexorable, in particular with regard to the inevitability suffering and death. Our conception of Truth being limited, to reject the approach of Truth by others as incontestably wrong that is to lack of good sense. So many philosophers thought about the Truth, distinguishing different aspects of it- objective, subjective, material and transcendental, without concluding anything. Kitaro Nishida wrote about the truth of a person that it is what is valuable to him, corresponds to himself. Osho added that, instead of thinking for finding the truth , one should meditate, which consists more or less to look inside oneself. To contemplate what if not our true nature.
Invested during a certain time of a material envelope to enjoy the creation of God, our soul must learn to get freed of this subjection by detachment and meditation for recovering its true nature. "Two are the objects of the soul, to make one with the Supreme Brahman and to be for ever for the good of all the world; whether here or elsewhere does not essentially matter" (Sri Aurobindo).
