The Global Cause of Suffering: Lack of Holistic Approach as Leo Tolstoy Conveys in War and Peace-IV
What Kahlil Gibran has expressed seems philselfological aspect of Leo Tolstoy’s novel, War and Peace. Martin in the novel
has the vision of self as Kahlil Gibran expresses in his great books, the Prophet and Jesus, the Son of Man. In Philosophy, writing an idea violates one to be a philosopher.
On the other hand, the creative writing is a philosophical in ideas and scientific in the feelings as both writers have expressed, thus they write philselfologically as Gibran says that religion is our daily life as a temple. Martin knows that obeying the Lord is what is all about the religion is. The common factor is our daily life. We practice the teachings daily, as we pray and serve.
The daily life is living in the present philselfologically. When we are in the present, we can think creatively as we have no fantasy of the past or future. We can analyze our feelings of present as if we are living, the joy of the self. This goes into action, we serve only when we are in the present, it gives us the fruits of the biorhythm creating the harmony of body, mind, heart and the soul.
Martin realizes it and thus opens the window daily, as he now knows what it means to live in the present. He serves as he is present wherever his need for serving others is a call. Kahlil Gibran has ideally called it the beauty of life, which is beyond. However, it is philselfological beauty, the art of living in the present as Martin realizes.
Both of the writers have made the holistic life a need for going beyond Philosophy, as the one, who speaks without doing is just preaching. The self-realization is as Martin’s way of realizing it is Philselfologically, the practical philosophy.
