Objectives
Mysticism (from the Greek μυστικός, mystikos) is the pursuit of communion with, identity
with, or conscious awareness of an ultimate reality, divinity, spiritual truth, or God through
direct experience, intuition or insight.
• In fact, differing religious and theological traditions have described this fundamental
mystical experience in different ways. However, at the core of all the major religions
and theologies, there exists a current of mystical teachings which, when compared to
one another, exhibit a startling degree of cross-cultural agreement.
• Sciences and mysticism appear antithetical, but we find in mysticism a type of
spirituality which has close epistemological parallels to science. Studies in several
areas of science address the same issues that concern the mystics, and while
quantum physics, for instance, does not "prove" mystical teachings, the fundamental
reality which it describes is not at all incompatible with the fundamental reality
testified to by the mystics.
• Various philosophical fields such as ontology (which is concerned with the nature
of reality), epistemology (which deals with the nature, acquisition and limitations of
knowledge) and phenomenology (which insists on the first-person, experiential
stance that mystics try to achieve) would appear to relate to various aspects of
mystical experience, although they have not yet been correlated in a systematic way.
• Many art forms not only can be ways for mystics to communicate what they are
trying to teach, but they have also helped shape the minds and imaginations of the
mystics. Poetry, music, dance, visual arts and rituals have emerged as fascinating
ways to connect the undifferentiated states of oneness, non-duality, and the
differentiated states of diversity and multiplicity.
The discovery of such points of convergence among religions, sciences, arts, and
philosophies on ‘mysticism’ is intellectually very exciting; and it holds out the possibility of
creating a ‘new worldview’ in which these disciplines would be seen as distinct yet
complementary ways of exploring the same underlying reality.
This new world view can create an awareness of the essential unity of humanity, and work
for the welfare of all, irrespective of social, political and religious differences.
