| THE VALUE OF HINDU CULTURE FOR
THE WORLD |
|
|
For this Hindus
must uphold the value of Hindu culture in their own lives and in India itself. This is not
to encourage a mere superficial Hindu pride or Hindu cultural elitism. It is to stop the
process of devaluing this great culture, which alone of the world's cultures appears to
really support the complete unfoldment of the spirit or inner Self.
While spiritually advanced individuals may have little need for any culture or outward
forms, the world as a whole needs a broad creative and spiritual culture to nourish the
diversity of human temperaments. It is not enough to teach people the value of meditation
and otherwise educate them along scientific, intellectual or technological lines, or place
them back in their own religious and cultural backgrounds which are inimical to the
spiritual quest. This is not transcendence of culture. It is an acquiescence to
non-spiritual or materialistic cultural values which prevent the spiritual life from truly
flowering. |
