" I call them as civilization,culture and spirituality.the first two everyone would agree to,the third for one not believing in spirit or self is obviously redundant.Let him or her call it the core of one's being which is nurtured or clothed with culture and civilization.
Civilization will always be the outer details of execution.mores and chores,titbits,gadgets, trophies and even nuclear warfare - all our advances to pose and post ourselves to show off,not bereft of meaning and purpose but limited and always confused.
Culture is above physicality,it pertains to the mind and intellect,deeper values like non-violence,truth,art,aesthetics that elevate one to distinct heights,it's nurture of nature within man to lead him on further expanses and possibilities,stabilising him in beatific experienceslike never before.The Vedic seers saw this aspect as 'samskriti'that they spread over the world for lasting good.
Spirituality or Realisation of the core essence or being is at the root and the stem and branches are culture and civilization.This is the bedrock of our holistic design of universal life.The Vedas assure : yasmin vijnaate sarvam vijnaatam bhavati.Know this as matter,shunya,vijnaana or brahman or God and carry the eternal force of visualised conviction following a definite tradition or independent of it in your just own light and set yourself free to be an incessant worker for the establishment of greater good on all the planes of existence.
See,the branches could be chopped off,the stem axed and brought down,but sooner or later the deep laid root will come to life again with new stem and branches.Her is what we call the Sanaatana Dharma !
This Dharma cares for our needs both sacred and profane as they call it for being and becoming.This is more than global in natuire,it's universal.You can't conceive of global weal with neglecting the universe outside !"
