Spiritual Consonance In The Heritage Of Kazakh And Indian Thinkers

267 Spiritual Consonance In The Heritage Of Kazakh And Indian Thinkers Türk Halk Edebiyatı PHILOSOPHICAL AND RELIGIOUS IDEAS The third major topic of deep study of Swami Vivekananda and Abai Kunanbayev are phi- losophical thoughts and religion. Swami Vivekananda has written many books and commentaries on religion. He begins his religious proverb with: «Religion is the idea that an animal expands to human beings and human beings to the God. «Religion is a inner natural power of human being, it is wrapped infinite power like sping, and it is inside the small body. The spring writes itself. It is a history of humanity, religion, society, or progress». The main purpose of religion is to bring peace to man. It’s not wise to say that someone’s tortured life can lead to happiness in the next life. He should be happy here and now. Every re- ligion that can bring a happiness to men is a true religion. If a religion brings spiritual peace and happiness to man it is a religion which is worthy trusted and every person has the right to choose worthy and suitable religion: «We want to go somewhere there is no Vedas, nor Bible, nor Koran. But this should be done through merging of the Vedas, the Bible and the Koran. People need to know that these religions are different names of one religion. So everyone can choose the path that is convenient for them». Swami left his ideas in his book Give up these weakening mysticisms and be strong. Go back to your Upanishads - the shining, the strengthening, the bright philosophy - and part from all these mysterious things, all these weakening things. Take up this philosophy; the greatest truths are the simplest things in the world, simple as your own existence. The truths of the Upanishads are before you. Take them up, live up to them, and the salvation of India will be at hand. God is not to be reached by the weak. Never be weak. You must be strong; you have infinite strength within you. How else will you conquer anything? How else will you come to God? Be strong and stand up and seek the God of Love. This is the highest strength. What power is higher than the power of purity? Love and purity govern the world. This love of God cannot be reached by the weak; therefore, be not weak, either physically, mentally, morally or spiritually. The Lord alone is true. Everything else is untrue; everything else should be rejected for the salve of the Lord. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Serve the Lord and Him alone. In Abai’s 45 th word: The proof of the existence of one God, unique and omnipotent, is that for thousands of years people of different tongues have spoken of God, and, however many reli- gions there might be, all consider that love and justice are the attributes of God. We are not demiurges, but mortals who know this world by the things created. We are the servants of love and justice. We differ from one another in how well we comprehend the creations of the Most High. Believing and worshipping, we must not say that we can force others to believe and wor- ship.
