Can a Russian attain Enlightenment?
Obviously not, just as an American, Chinese, Moldovan, German, Greek, Jew, Frenchman, Tajik, Lithuanian or Indian cannot achieve it.
Because enlightenment means a transition to divinity, an endless expansion of consciousness, going beyond any racial, ideological, religious, cultural, national restrictions.
Exit into the boundless, unlimited space of the inner universe.
Enlightenment means to become a universal person, a citizen of the Universe, whose home is the Galaxy, whose nation is all the diversity of cultures.
In the words of the Bible, "For God there is neither Greek nor Jew."
Why are we talking about the Aryans, nation, ethnos and Aryan-Vedic culture?
We are talking about them in order to revive the ancient sacred code, the deep meaning that exists hidden in every ethnos, in every nation, culture.
It is so that each nation, each culture, while remaining unique, original, realizes its supra-cultural, supranational, sacred potential, realizes its divinity, while not abandoning its roots and not losing its identity.
We use the format of ethnos, terms of culture, nation to point out to all people of the Earth our common sacred past, to that depth, divinity that exists in our common human culture, our earthly history, the genealogy that we once had and which we have lost.
We preach the Dharma, speaking not with individuals, but directly addressing ethnic groups, cultures, nations, their collective minds, as if telling them: wake up, you are divine, but you have forgotten about it.
Each ethnos, nation is basically sacred and divine.
Ethnos is a mystical, esoteric collective body of the deity of culture, the patron saint of the nation.
And the very deity of culture, the nation is an emanation of great deities, while the great deities themselves are the Universal Metaramind (Ishvara), Parabrahman itself.
But when this inner mysticism, inner divinity degenerates, when the enlightened philosophers, priests of the ethnos, the prophets of the nation, its saints, shamans, mediums and mystics disappear, then the connection of times is lost, ties with the patron deities are severed (in scientific language "with basic myths and archetypes of the collective unconscious "), the spirit of the sacred disappears, myths, sacred symbols disappear, mystical language disappears, divine meanings and values fade.
Sacred schools and their lines of succession are disappearing.
Then the ethnos, as a collective magic organism, disintegrates, the national culture ceases to nourish people with its power, light and degrades.
Then divinity, the very essence of culture, nation, is lost, and only lifeless forms remain. People forget their Path to the divine, they are carried away by the search for earthly happiness, forgetting that this is not the purpose of our life.
We now see this everywhere on Earth.
The sacred culture has left the society, it was replaced by the materialistic, consumer culture.
Divine law has been lost.
The hierarchy of meanings, values and goals of society and the individual is either strongly blurred or completely lost.
The culture of the nation is called upon to preserve the ancient sacred law (Dharma) as its heart, and remind us that the meaning of life is in revealing our divine potential, serving the divine.
The sacredness of the national culture is lost when the spirit of the search for Divine truth, mysticism, tapas, self-overcoming is emasculated, when people thoughtlessly follow their national culture, their roots simply because they were born in it, because their parents followed this, because the environment around is like that.
And talk about the nation, national culture, the creation of national-cultural autonomy, the revival of the Aryan-Vedic culture should help bring this spirit of the sacred back into our lives.
Aryan is first a sadhu, a person walking the spiritual path.
In Vedic literature, this word means "noble", "aristocrat of the spirit", saint, virtuous, good.
It does not indicate blood or race.
In the Ramayana, Rama is called "arya" for his flawless spirit.
In the Bhgavad Gita, Krishna refers to Arjduna as a non-Arya, when he forgets about the highest meaning and values in life.
So, the Aryan-Vedic nation is a sacred, community of spiritual people, sadhus who keep their divine culture.
