I-Eastern Movement. Irekhodi laseMpumalanga lolwazi. Ukwehla kolwazi lwakudala. Umkhathi waseNdiya.

Okunye ukunyakaza okuthinta ukucatshangelwa inombolo yabantu abakubo ikusasa ngengqondo yi-Eastern Movement. Eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu edlule izazi bezihumusha izincwadi zefilosofi yaseMpumalanga kanye inkolo okwaseNtshonalanga. Balutshwana kuphela abafundi ababenentshisekelo kuze kube sekupheleni kwekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye i-Theosophical Movement eyenza ifilosofi yamaNdiya yagqama. Ngemuva kwalokho imicabango ukutholakala ezincwadini zaseMpumalanga kwaheha ukunakwa okubanzi.

Kwabonakala ukuthi izizwe zasendulo zaseMpumalanga zazinomlando mayelana nolwazi olwalungenalo iNtshonalanga. Leyo rekhodi laliphathelene nokulandelana kwezikhathi kwezinsuku okusekelwe kumjikelezo wezinto zezinkanyezi, umlando wezwe ohlukaniswe ngeminyaka, imininingwane ngesakhiwo kanye imisebenzi womzimba, ukuhlangana kwamandla emuntwini nasemkhathini, kanye nokuba khona kwamanye umhlaba ngaphakathi nangaphandle komhlaba obonakalayo. Kwaphatha amanye amabutho afihliwe a ukuphila womuntu nowomhlaba imisebenzi, nabanye ama-elemental, onkulunkulu futhi Ubuhlakani. Kungenzeka ukuthi abaseshi basendulo baseMpumalanga babenolwazi ngokuhlobana kwe umenzi emzimbeni wayo, kanye nangokulawulwa komzimba ngokuqeqeshwa nangokusebenzisa imisinga yezinzwa. Babazi “ngesayensi ye ukuphefumula, ”Yesifundazwe ngemuva ukufa, ye-hibernation yomuntu, yezindawo eziyimfihlakalo, zokunwetshwa okungenzeka kwe ukuphila, we ubuhle zezitshalo, amaminerali nezilwane ndaba ngozwela nange-antipathy, nangamandla asebenza ngezinzwa zokubona, kokuzwa, ukunambitha nokuhogela. Ngakho-ke bakwazi ukuguquka ndaba kusuka kwesinye isimo ukuya kwesinye, ukuphatha amabutho we nature ezingaziwa eNtshonalanga, nokulawula ngicabanga.

Lolu lwazi lwalufundiswe eMpumalanga ngabakwa-Wise Men esikhathini esidlule. Akukho okusalayo ngaphandle kwamarekhodi ambalwa futhi nawo ayaguqulwa. Amadoda Ahlakaniphile asuka emva kwe abantu wayesalile ukulandela izimfundiso. Amadoda Anobuhlakani ayengahlala inqobo nje uma abantu bekhombisa a isifiso ukuhamba kwesokudla imigqa. Lapho labo abanikezwe ulwazi namandla, bekwisebenzisela izinzuzo zezwe noma ubugovu obucwengekile, bashiyelwa bona. Ukuba khona Kwamadoda Anobuhlakani kwaba yinganekwane ngaphandle kwabambalwa. Abanye balabo ababazi izimfundiso, kancane kancane baba abapristi futhi bakha ubufundisi kanye nezinhlelo zezenkolo ababesekela ngolwazi ababesele kulo. Babhale ulwazi lube ngamagama olwalufuna ukufundwa ngezinkinobho. Bashiye izingxenye zezimfundiso zasendulo futhi baqamba amanga ukuze bafeze iziphetho zabo. Bakhohlwe ingxenye enkulu yolwazi lwakudala. Bafanela ifilosofi nemvelo yezwe nezintaba zayo ezinkulu, amathafa, amanzi kanye namahlathi, kuma-hierarchies onkulunkulu namademoni, izilo zasendulo nezinsumansumane. Babekhuthaza ukukholelwa ezeni futhi ukungazi. Babeka izigaba ezine abenzi ohlelweni lwe-caste oluphatha abantu abaningi ngaphandle kwesigaba sabo sangempela. Babeka umkhawulo ekutholeni ulwazi kwezinye izingqimba zabantu.

Babhidliza ifilosofi yokuxhasa uhlelo lwabo lobuphristi. Inkambo yonke yokuphila futhi ngicabanga kwahlelwa ngesisekelo senkolo, nesayensi, art, ezolimo, umshado, ukupheka, ukudla, ukugqoka, imithetho, konke kwakuncike emigubweni yenkolo, eyayenza abapristi babekudingeka kuyo yonke indawo. Izwe, India, kancane kancane lalahleka Inkululeko futhi umthwalo wemfanelo. Ukuhlaselwa, izimpi zangaphakathi kanye izifo lacekela phansi izwe, elaphindaphindeka kaninginingi. Isikhathi ngasinye lapho abantu besuka eminyakeni yobudala ekhanyiselwe eyayikhona ngenkathi amaWisile Amadoda ethutha phakathi kwamadoda. Namuhla banezinsalela zakudala kuphela ezedlula ezazi.

An umkhathi ukumangala, imbala yemfihlakalo, inesisindo esinzima kulelozwe. Abantu abakwazi ukubona okwangempela kulokho okungelona iqiniso. Emzamweni wabo wokuphunyuka ebugqilini be ndaba abaningi babo bachitha izimpilo zabo ku-asceticism enobugovu, ebenza bangazifaneli imisebenzi emhlabeni. Amasiko abo, izinkolelo zabo namasiko abo kuyabakhinyabeza inqubekela phambili. Abanye abenzi phakathi kwabo banolwazi abangalukhiphi, futhi bavumela abantu abaningi ukuthi baqhubeke nokwabo ukungazi kanye nokubola.

Kodwa-ke, ifilosofi laba bantu baseMpumalanga abasayisebenzisile ngokusebenzisa izincwadi zabo ezingcwele, ibaluleke kakhulu kunalokho okuse West. Kuningi okunephutha, okuningi okubhaliwe ku-cipher nokuningi okuye kwahlelwa kanye nokuningi okufakiwe ukuqhubekisela phambili izinqubomgomo zabaphristi; nokho izitatimende eziningi zingatholakala kuma-Upanishads, Shastras, Puranas nakweminye imibhalo ebaluleke kakhulu. Kepha lolu lwazi alunakukhishwa kusuka kusisindo okufakwe kulo, ngaphandle kokuthi umuntu enolwazi ngalo kusengaphambili. Kuzodingeka ukuthi kunikezwe okushiwoyo futhi uveze okungeziwe osekwenziwe isikhathi. Okokugcina, ulwazi oluzosetshenziswa kuzodingeka luhleleke futhi lufezekiswe ukuze lwethule izidingo. Lokhu kuzodingeka eMpumalanga kanye naseNtshonalanga.

Ukwethulwa kolwazi lwaseMpumalanga eNtshonalanga kubuye kwenziwa kube nzima ngenxa yendlela yaseMpumalanga ye ngicabanga nendlela yokukhuluma. Ngaphandle kokungabikho kwamagama anamuhla ukuhambisa amagama asezilimini zasendulo, a ukuqonda ngabaseNtshonalanga wolwazi lwaseMpumalanga lubanjezelwa ukwanda ngokweqile, ukungafani, imfihlakalo, izihloko, iziqephu nezitayela ezingokomfanekiso zemibhalo yaseMpumalanga. Izindinganiso zaseMpumalanga naseNtshonalanga ku art nezincwadi zihlukile. IMpumalanga isindwa yisikhathi sobudala, isiko, imvelo kanye nomjikelezo onciphile.

Inzalo esanda kusungulwa eNtshonalanga ngokwambulwa kokuba khona kwengcebo yaseMpumalanga yolwazi ayihlanganisi lapho noetic nezici zobungcweti baleyo filosofi. AbaseNtshonalanga bakhetha izinto ezibangela ukumangala, njenge-clairvoyance, i astral izehlakalo, amandla afihliwe, nokutholwa kwamandla phezu kwabanye. Selokhu umgwaqo uvulelwe yilokhu kuthakazelelwa, izithunywa zevangeli ziye zavela eMpumalanga zizoguqula abantu baseNtshonalanga. Noma izithunywa zevangeli zize nezinhloso ezinhle zivame ukuba buthaka ngaphansi kokuheha kweNtshonalanga. Zabo isifiso nezifiso zifinyelela ngcono kuzo futhi zivame ukunqotshwa isifiso ukuthola induduzo, ukudumisa, ukuthonya, imali kanye nokuzwela abatshela abalandeli babo ukuthi banqobe. Izithunywa zevangeli zinezihloko ezinkulu, njengoGuru, Mahatma, Swami noSanyasi, okubonisa ukuphelela olwazini, ubuhle namandla. Lokho bona kanye nabafundi babo abakwenzile kuze kube manje akukhombisi ukuthi babazi kakhulu ngaphezu kwezinhlamvu zezincwadi zabo.

Noma ngabe yini i-darshana, esinye sezikole eziyisithupha zefilosofi okulezi zithunywa zevangeli, zifundisa lokho okungajwayelekile kakhulu eNtshonalanga ngicabanga ukuthi abadluli okusho kubantu baseNtshonalanga. Abafundi baseNtshonalanga bathola imibono eminingana ejwayelekile nenembile nge-purusha noma i-atma njenge umphefumulo noma ozithandayo, ama-tattwas, ama-saktis, ama-chakras, ama-siddhis, ama -ramrams, ama-purusha, ama-prakriti, i-karma, ne-yoga. Le mibono ikule amafomu njengoba ingatholakali kokuhle. Izithunywa zevangeli umsebenzi bavuke intshiseko phakathi kwabalandeli babo, kuthi emuva kwesikhashana banikeze izimfundiso ezisebenzayo. Lokhu kuhlobene nokwenza kwabo i-yoga noma ukusetshenziswa kwezindlela zenyama ukuthola amandla obuciko, "ukukhanyiselwa" ngokomoya, ukuhlangana noBrahman nokukhululwa ekubophweni ndaba. Izenzo zomzimba zincike ekuhlalisweni kwe pranayama, ukulawulwa kwe ukuphefumula. Izimangaliso zika ukuphefumula, i-svara, kanye nokutholwa kwamandla we-psychic kukhona okukhangayo okuyinhloko kwalaba bafundisi. Noma kunjalo, ukubaluleka kwe ukuphefumula ifanelwe ukucatshangelwa maqondana ne ifomu lokuphefumula futhi umenzi, ukwenza lula ukwazisa ngezimfundiso zaseMpumalanga mayelana nayo.
