Human beings start their journey with some kind of a working conception of themselves and the world. Those with a little more awakened thoughts also form some conception of the Divine or God or call it by whatever Name. This conception is normally formed by our past evolution that has determined our present trend of nature, our immediate religious and socio-cultural milieu. These are largely belief systems and help or hinder our progress depending upon the stage and need of our evolution. All these conceptions are however a scaffolding while the real truth of the Divine can be found only as we enlarge the field of our spiritual evolution. This talk focuses upon some of these conceptions of the Divine as we encounter in our spiritual journey.
This talk, which is Part 1 of a three-part series, touches upon the preliminary basis of the Synthesis.
A talk and following question and answer session by Dr Alok Pandey at the Centurion University, Paralakhemundi, Odisha, which took place in January 2018.
