Hypnosis and mesmerismThe above remarks apply equally to hypnosis and mesmerism, in both of which a person with a stronger will power tries to influence those with weaker stamina by means of passes of hand or gestures coupled with a riveted attention on the subject . In certain ailments, like hysteria, ect.,some physicans also make use of these processes and are able temporarily to effect cures and alleviate pains and aches for which they are not able to find a proper remedy. Spirituality
,on the contrary, is the science of the soul and consequently, it deals with
all the aspects of the soul, where it resides in the human body , its
relationship with the body and with the mind , how it seemingly acts and react
through and on the senses , its real Nature, and how it can be separated from
all its finitizing adjuncts. It describes the spiritual journey with its wealth
of spiritual planes and sub-planes, the spiritual powers and possibilities and
their intrinsic worth . spirituality discloses what the holy Word is and how to
commune with It, tells us that the
unltimate goal is Self –realization and God – realization , or the union of the
soul with the Over- soul, and teaches how it can be achieved by means of Surat Shabd
yoga or the path of the sound current, as described in the foregoing pages. |
