The Great Unknown
We live in a magical and mysterious universe pervaded by
an unseen intelligence and subtle energies, which reach
far beyond the merely human concerns that dominate our
minds today. There is a sacred order to the cosmos,
reflecting vast and eonic forces working at a different
level altogether than our ordinary historical, personal
and social preoccupations. This power of consciousness
behind the universe is transformational and cataclysmic
in nature; it does not conform to our expectations, needs
and demands, or to the formulations and opinions of our
intellect.
We usually dwell at the surface of this greater cosmos,
afraid of its unpredictable currents, in which all our
civilizational achievements can seem but a glimmer or a
shadow. Yet besides our usual desires for the enjoyments
of our familiar outer world, we also possess a strong
inner urge to connect with this greater unknown reality,
even if we do not have any clear idea about what it may
be. This drive for transcendence becomes the basis of
religion and spirituality, among other deeper searches
for truth, though we may reduce these to more mundane
compulsions and keep them scaled down into the human
world.
This sacred cosmic mystery has been formulated in many
ways in the different cultures of the world going back to
the dawn of our species. It has become the prime concern
of many esoteric groups, including various orders of
monks, renunciates and spiritual communities of different
types. If we look at India and its great Yoga tradition,
we find union with that mysterious unknown reality as the
essence of India?s cultural striving and the subject of a
massive civilizational development.
