Holiness as Harmony of Life

Abstract

In this article I would like to present one of the Indian approaches towards the realization of spiritual harmony in our life. I am not proposing this subject with any injunctive connotation, not with any prescriptive tone, and never as a panacea for all our contemporary non—spiritual problems either of the West or of the East, or even of the North—South zones of the recent demarcations of human boundaries of our global culture. I follow only a descriptive method in this discussion with a certain personal option in favour of my own experiential realization of certain goals. I have made my own selection of the ingredients from the various foundational sources of the living spiritual heritage of the Indian culture, and 1 may not claim that the selections made in this presentation are the only ones possible or are the best combination for the discovery of the harmony life. This is only an invitation to those who are deeply concerned with the issues in integrating our total human life focussing on some Ultimate Point of reference in order to search for better ways of rediscovering our lost harmony, if at all we had it at some phase of our life.
