Yardstick exactly is the need in spirituality,

 Yardstick exactly is the need in spirituality,

at least now, in this most modern infn technology age

before defining and standardizing fundamental units , L M T length mass time , things were arbitrary different,

some used to measure length of hand, or foot or finger, or guess ,

weight by hand feel, or relative difference in articles,

time by just observing the shadows etc

but a few men put enough trials / effort, and f p s/ c g s,was made, and then mks,, now rationalized R MKS, or SI units were evolved

first spirituality must evolve as a science, with precise definitions, amenable to theory and tests /practical

maharishi mahesh yogi did a attempt in his ” science of creative intelligence ” he has made whole thing scientific and results measurable precisely by modern instrumentation, those who are familiar with TM ,know this,

99 names of allah in quran were correlated to the attributes of the unified field ,,…..this was done by one muslim spiritual/scientist

ravishankar srisri has done it in his ”hinduism and islam, the common thread”

prof hawkins too has made a good attempt

in spirituality the basic yardstick is brahman, unmanifest , nirgun nirakar, pure consciousness

using this one can differentiate who is master, who is seeker, and at what levels each individual is ….exactly like , in education, we know elementary, high,school , inter, graduate, post graduate, doctorate levels

in the spirituality to there are the levels jad chethan, jagrut chethan, turia, turiateeth, daivee, brahmi levels, may be corresponding to rishi ,maharishi,devarishi brahmarshi etc

none need to change their religions but they will come to know where they are and how far they have to go,

humans are unique and different,
but medical/ psychological sciences are developed applicable to all kinds of humans

IQ levels are measurable, health / fitness is measurable

similarly this attempt for systematization & standardization of Spiritual must be done by a committee of top saints .they must define, and a world standard must emerge

jesus ”i am the way the life and the truth” is identified as ”aham brahmasmi”, sarvam khalvidam brahma”

”blood of jesus cleanses every sin ” is parallel to ”gyanagni dhagdha karmani, ”
blood of jesus is the pure consciousness, not the red corpuscles

icons idols allegories have the disadvantage of obscuring the truth being communicated

but a universal standard if prepared tears of the delusion and one knows what is what
