A Comparative Study of Practice in Hadiqat al-Haqiqa and Bhagavad Gita
Message:
Abstract:
Practice and the mystical analysis of practice is one of the most important issues which are studied in most religious and mystical traditions. In many Islamic, fiqhi, ethical and mystical sources, practice is presented as a systematic mystical work. In Hindu faith, too, Brahmans, Pourhanis and Bhagavad Gita lay emphasis on practice. In the two texts of Hadiqqat Al-Haqiqah and Bhagavad Gita, performing religious duties is specially crystalized and it is referred to as one of the alternatives of salvation. The research argues that God has created man so that he may work, especiall regarding the compliance with religious duties which everyone has to perform in all stages of mystical journey, in so far as one can make a change in one's attributes. In Hadiqah, active people act differently according to their potentialities and purposes while in Bhagavad Gita, man’s action is based on his manners (primordial qualities). In addition, everyone has his/her own special actions and duties considering one's social class. The present paper expounds the nature of action and inaction by referring to the two texts of Hadiqat al-Haqiqah and BhagavadGita and makes a contrast between their views. The research findings show that through their interpretation of the truth of practice, the texts of Hadiqa al-Hagiqa and Bhagavad Gita provide a pattern of pragmatic mysticism and spiritual conduct that does not hinder the contemporary man from carrying out his worldly activities. In addition, contrary to the misconception about practice and pragmatism in modern time, and its adverse consequences on the contemporary world, Hadiqa and Bhagavad Gita insist on the principality of action and performing religious duties for the attainment of the highest state of divine nearness.
