May be Human is Divine!!

Tom Hanks was almost in a self induced trance, totally living the character of Robert, the Male protagonist in Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code'... I think that was the most terrific moment and definitely the catharsis of the novel turned into a Hollywood flick.
No this is not a critique of the film or the novel. It is about the fear...the fear that alienates God or the 'The Divine' from us humans, preserved in some holy urn at the inner sanctum of the Alter of the Cathedral. Or in the Holy verses of the Quraan. No it is not a religious bashing either. The precedence permeates across clans, creeds and faith in today's world.

In the Vedas, the Divine Consciousness is manifested through a non-duality of existence or Adwaitam. Today we have almost lost the essence or the sense to even realize what it means! Of course the Ism's from the modern theories of socialism helped the cause to a great extent! In the west we have seen the flourishing of Existentialism that distills human existence into a biological or a sense making organic residue in the name of 'Objectivity'. Or 'Scientology', the 'science' with a religious tinge that induces an artificial cult like hedonism into the beautiful definition of human connections with spirituality...the Universe and all else.

We are afraid of humanizing the scriptural icons, the reincarnations who had carried the divine message to the humanity. Is 'to be human' indignant to the definition of God? Is it not the same human, which some scriptures say, God created in reflection of Himself? Is it not the only creature in the whole domain of universe who is capable of praying to the The Absolute, wondering at the marvel of His beautiful creation?

The truth is we have lost that connection that lived through ages and societies through a spartan and virtuous way of life, where the Self was at the center and an inseparable part of the Supreme! 'Auham Brahmashmi'...'I am the Brahman' was the undertone of the life philosophies and human social values in the Vedic India. 'Wahdat-al-wujud' or the 'Unity in being' was recognized and propounded by the Great Chisti order of Sufis. We have forgotten what unbelievable power the 'I' can invoke! We have fallen from the pedestal of Humans!
