"Indian religion has always felt that since the minds, the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety, a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite." - Sri Aurobindo.

This is why we need more of dialogue and acceptance. It was only yesterday (1893) we had a world parliament of religions, a league of nations, a United Nations.

I believe, with the work of Simon and the Good Country project, even the word Nation is to one day (soon) become obsolete. The idea was for countries to work with each other on common burning issues and ultimately coalesce into one world, one planet - one people please!

Again, in the words of Sri Aurobindo, our ultimate aim should be "a step in evolution which would raise humankind to a higher and larger consciousness".

So can we establish a common planet? A thousand times yes! How? With LOVE 🥰 and careful nurturing.

We need a New Spirituality to take hold, remembering the 4 aids of those who would stay true to the cause of lifting up humanity, understanding global patterns, and the Interconnectedness of it all.

However, the most part of humanity still holds on to one or several schools of thought / worship, but we ARE ALL heading towards pluralism and harmony, hence these immortal words of GB Shaw jump out to knock us with fresh perspective.

He says - "Religion is a great force — the only real motive force in the world; but what you fellows don't understand is that you must get at a man through his own religion and not through yours."

On this, the 8th Feb 2025, I, Imran, begin a new chapter which proclaims boldly to the world that we must Enthuse about God - ENTHEOS - if we are to live in true Spiritual Democracy.

"Perfection has to be worked out, harmony has to be accomplished" … "out of ignorance to rescue divine self- knowledge, out of matter to reveal Spirit. To work out this end for ourselves and for humanity is the object of our Yogic practice." ~ Hour of God.

Ultimately, it is about allowing each other the freedoms to choose their own path, of if we are in a position to offer perspectives, show them the beauty and variety of differing paths.

There is a way out of hell, but we must reach for the Divine, that Flame Imperishable within us all.

So many words… I suppose it's time to go marry the ideas with action. And for inspiring / allowing me to act, I must thank those around me who recognise the "Sadhana" we all have undertaken, for the establishing of a Life Divine.

It's time to start an Institute for the Development of Effective Applications of Spirituality… So shall it be written, so shall it be done.
