[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 163917, member: 17438"] My dear brother Ambarsaria :interestedkudi: kaurhug I believe that there was a [I]spiritual renaissance and awakening between the years 1000-1700 in both East and West. In this mighty age of humanity, not only did we have the very beginnings in Italy of what would go on to become the Renaissance and birth of modern Western civilisation, but we had a flourishing of God-intoxicated mystics of both East and West, particularly I think in India, Persia and in Europe amongst the Hindu, Sufi and Catholic populations. Many Bhagats such as Namdev [/I](c.[COLOR=black]1270[/COLOR] - 1350) [I]who are practically contemporary with many of the 2nd Millenium Catholic mystics, are evidence of how the Holy Spirit at this time was quickening and enlivening the hearts of his children with great wisdom and insight. Such Bhagats as Namdev and a few centuries later Kabir, came to have their writings incorporated into the Granth. I am sure that if Nanak had been born in Europe, then the Gurus would have incorporated the writings of the Catholic mystics into the Granth, just as they did in India with the Hindu and Sufi mystics such as Namdev, Kabir and Dhanna etc. [/I] [I]Sikhism, that is the Gurus and preceding Bhagats, was the outcome of one such outpouring of this spiritual renaissance, the Catholic mystics are the Western counterpart. [/I] [I]Other such spiritual renaissances happened in the past ie between the years 600 BC to 100 AD when such luminaries as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Buddha, the Hindu sages of the Upanishads and the Lord Jesus graced this earth of ours. [/I] Obviously the Sikh Gurus never met or knew anything about the Catholic mystics; and the Catholic mystics never knew anything about the Hindu Bhagats or Sikh Gurus. And so we must asttribute this to the breathings of the Holy Spirit and the working of God, as Pope John Paul II explained once: "...[SIZE=3]It is the Spirit who is the source of the drive to press on, not only geographically but also beyond the frontiers of race and religion, for a truly universal mission...[B]The Spirit's presence and activity affect not only the individuals but also society and history, peoples, cultures and religions. Indeed, the Spirit is at the origin of the noble ideals and undertakings which benefit humanity on its journey through history[/B]: "The Spirit of God with marvelous foresight directs the course of the ages and renews the face of the earth"...[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]I have repeatedly called this fact to mind, and it has guided me in my meetings with a wide variety of peoples. The Church's relationship with other religions is dictated by a twofold respect: "Respect for man in his quest for answers to the deepest questions of his life, and respect for the action of the Spirit in man." The interreligious meeting held in Assisi was meant to confirm my conviction that "every authentic prayer is prompted by the Holy Spirit, who is mysteriously present in every human heart."...Every form of the Spirit's presence is to be welcomed with respect and gratitude..." [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B][I]- Blessed Pope John Paul II (Redemptoris Missio)[/I][/B] [/SIZE] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] So I see it in terms of an outpouring of the one Holy Spirit at work in both East and West as part of what was a worldwide Renaissance and Springtime of the Human Spirit :-) [/QUOTE]
