The metaphysical basis for Integral Health — relevance of the Individual
By Soumitra Basu — Jan 15, 2015
Does spirituality endorse an obliteration of the individual in the vastness of the Absolute? Indeed, the experiential contact with the Absolute is so overwhelming, awe-inspiring and total that individuality loses its relevance and what remains is only a cosmic vastness or an all-effacing transcendence. All material parameters of the illumined individual become insignificant in the vastness of the cosmic consciousness or in the eternity of the transcendence. That is why both Shankaracharya and Buddha advocated that ultimate salvation lay in the cessation from the cycle of death and birth, a movement eulogised in spiritual parlance as liberation. The spiritual illumination of the individual thus came to signify the dissolution of an ephemeral individuality.
