| ARTICLES RELATED TO Spiritual Philosophies | | | |  Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Sahaj marg - Spiritual disciplinesThe practice consists of three steps: morning meditation, evening cleaning and night prayer meditation.
Morning Meditation
"Sit in meditation for an hour thinking that divine light is present in your heart. Do it in quite a simple and natural way without forcing your mind, never mind if you do not see the light there. Start with a mere supposition, so to say, and sit meditating in one posture with your attention turned towards the heart in a natural way without any effort to concentrate. Try to be unmindful o ...

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Heart symbol - In early science and philosophy Many classical and medieval philosophers and scientists, including Aristotle, considered the heart the seat of thought, reason or emotion, often rejecting the value of the brain.
The Roman physician Galen located the seat of the passions in the liver, the seat of reason in the brain, and considered the heart to be the seat of the emotions. While Galen's identification of the heart with emotion were proposed as a part of his theory of the circulatory system, the heart has continued to be used as a symbolic source of human emotions even after the rejection of such beliefs.

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Meaning of life - Scientific approaches and theories Where scientists and philosophers converge on the quest for the meaning of life is an assumption that the mechanics of life (i.e., the universe) are determinable, thus the meaning of life may eventually be derived through our understanding of the mechanics of the universe in which we live, including the mechanics of the human body.
There are, however, strictly speaking, no scientific views on the meaning of biological life other than its observable biological function: to continue and to reproduce itself. In this regard, science simply addresses quantitative questions such as: "What does it do?", "By wha ...

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Meaning of life - Humorous treatments The very concept "the meaning of life" has become such a cliché that it has often been parodied, such as in the radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, later released as a novel, a television series, a film, and a computer game. His answer was 42. As the story goes, an advanced race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings (mice) builds a gigantic computer called Deep Thought to find the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. Seven and a half million years later, the computer gives the answer: "4 ...

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Meaning of life - Philosophical views
Meaning of life - Value as meaning.
In that they attempt to answer the question "What is valuable in life?", theories of value are theories of the meaning of life: great philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, and many others had clear views about what sort of life was best (and hence most meaningful).
Meaning of life - Atheist views.
Atheism in the strictest sense means the belief that no god or supernatural overbeing (of any type or number) exists ...

While incarcerated he was inspired by his meditating on the famed Hindu scripture of the Bhagavad Gita.
While in Alipore Jail, Sri Aurobindo claimed to be visited by the renowned Swami Vivekananda, a Hindu philosopher of great importance to neo-Advaita Vedanta, in his meditation. The swami guided Sri Aurobindo's yoga and helped him to scale great heights. It ...

She was born in Paris to Turkish and Egyptian parents and came to Pondicherry on March 29, 1914, finally settling there in 1920. Sri Aurobindo considered her his equal and because of her astuteness as an organiser, left it to her to plan, run and build the growing ashram. After November 24, 1926, when Sri Aurobindo retired into seclusion, she supervised the organization of the ashram and later institutes like Auroville, the international township near the to ...

Integral Yoga is so-called because it involves the synthesis of the three yogas - bhakti, karma, and jnana - of the Bhagavad Gita. It is also called "Integral" because it embodies and integrates all aspects of life.
Of these three, bhakti is central, and in keeping with the Hindu tradition of the Divine Mother, Sri Aurobindo teaches devotion to the Mother (see his short devotional book The Mother), personified in his co-worker Mirra Ric ...

Beyond the physical-based social life of early man (marked by survival, fear, subservience, etc.), the vital-based social life of the past five hundred years (emerging through trade, travel, discovery, adventure, and the fulfillment of the individual needs, wants, and desires), and the currently emerging mental-based age (indicated by freedom, individuality, democracy, education, rationality, technology, and the common man) is the possibility of the eme ...

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Meaning of life - Spiritual views Mitch Albom wrote about his dying professor Morrie and their last lessons together in the bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie in which some interesting questions were raised. Albom's life as a writer was until then in vain because he chased the wrong things in life: bigger houses, bigger SUVs, and bigger paychecks. No matter how big they were, they still could not fill his emptiness. The reality that we all have to confront eventually is the same thing Morrie realized when he learned he had Lou Gehrig's disease: that the world was as gree ...

| | | | | Spiritual Philosophies: Encyclopedia II - Sufism - Influences A number of scholars perceive influences on Sufism from pre-Islamic and non-Islamic sources and schools of mysticism and philosophy. Some of these new perspectives originate from the synthesis of Persian civilization with Islam [1], an emphasis on spiritual aspects of Islam as a reaction against the prevailing impersonal, formal and hypocritical practice of religion [2], and possibly the incorporation of ideas and practices from other mystic systems such as Gnosticism and Hinduism into Islam. The evidence in support of non-Islamic influences ...
