This definition of the absolute by reference to the relative would give credence to Swami Vivekananda's words that these are but attempts to realise the infinite and often one needs to start with concepts we can understand in order to try to attempt to understand the Infinite Absolute Reality or Truth. L ¹ k c hª šl f l d qu Ap j? Efpwq l p i he nhl j ll: As a final comment, if it is generally accepted that there cannot be a circle which does not have a centre, the real question we should ask is whether every point is therefore, of necessity, the centre of an infinitely large circle?

Given a working knowledge of both systems, here I have attempted to formulate a basic structure by which we can see how Vedanta understands the symbols and teachings of Freemasonry.

9 Considering that 'Purposely Hoodwinked' is primarily a Masonic oriented blog what follows will probably be very unfamiliar territory for most Masonic brothers,.. In this blog I would like to introduce the tradition to a brother that was actually assisted in his spiritual journey by a guru named Ramakrishna, perhaps the best known saint of nineteenth century India, the name of our brother is Swami Vivekananda, raised to the degree of Master Mason 20th of May The italic print to follow is actually the words of this Spiritual Master from his chapter 'The Need of a Guru' in the book Vedanta Philosophy: Lectures.. For those unfamiliar with the guru relationship we should ask what is a guru, is a guru compatible with Freemasonry, and how can this supposed individual assist us one on his path to 'light'? "A 'guru' is a spiritual teacher who helps remove the darkness of ignorance in one's life and leads him towards the 'light' of wisdom, which frees one from the sufferings of earthly life." You can't (be) more Masonic than that. When we spend the time to really delve into the rituals and symbolism we find a path from Matter to Spirit, earth to light. Although Freemasonry is NOT a religious endeavor, I do believe it is at its core spiritual, although Swami Vivekananda uses the word religious please do not let this ruin the message if you re one of those hung up on anything religious. Do I believe there could be gurus in Freemasonry, why not?

13 (15) The earliest teaching of the Mysteries traceable within historic time was in the Orient and in the language known as Sanscrit (sic) - a name itself significant and appropriate, for it means Holy Writ or "Sanctum Scriptum"; and for very great lights upon the ancient Secret Doctrine one must still refer to the religious and philosophical scriptures of India, which was in its spiritual and temporal prime when modern Europe was frozen beneath an ice-cap.
