Dear readers,
You can always e-mail us any specific
examples of which particular articles or parts of articles on the
subtle world that are not
clear to you. We could then provide further explanation on it if
possible. (A forum for inviting readers’ questions specifically
to clarify any queries that readers may have on the subtle world,
after reading the subtle news or articles in the Sanatan’s
periodicals, is already in place in the Sanatan’s Daily Newspaper.
)
A point to note regarding understanding news or articles on subtle
phenomena, such as distressing energies, battle of Deities against
distressing energies, etc., is that a keen subtle perception is
necessary to completely understand them. Subtle perception is the
ability to perceive with our subtle senses, that is perception
without our gross five senses, mind and intellect. In this regard,
the following points are noteworthy:
 |
Most
people grow up relying only on their gross perception, that
is using the gross five senses, mind and intellect; hence,
they do not even notice the subtle. Thus, explaining the subtle
world to those whose subtle perception is not developed is
akin to explaining to a blind man what the world looks like.
He cannot understand it completely however much one may explain. |
|
Subtle
perception is developed only with spiritual
practice. One’s
subtle perception improves as one progresses spiritually with
spiritual practice. To begin with, besides daily spiritual
practice, one should exercise one's subtle perception by regularly
performing subtle experiments (see Experiments of the Subtle
Dimension section of any Issue of the Weekly Online for examples)
even in day to day life to make better (sattvik) decisions.
Please Refer to Issue 154 Practical Guidance Section for how
to exercise and hone one’s subtle perception. |
The Sanatan organization
is publishing references to the subtle in the Weekly Online and
the subtle news section in its Daily mainly to make society aware
of the fact that there is also a ‘subtle world’. On
reading them, some people may become curious and start doing spiritual
practice, such as chanting*. Later as they progress, they will
be able to experience the subtle world firsthand. |
