Those of you who live in the West have undoubtedly been taught the mystery of the Holy Trinity since time immemorial. Those of you who identify with the Eastern and Hindu path have been initiated into the sacred Trinity formed by Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

The Western mystery leads straight to the darkness of the mind. Was this doctrine deliberately imposed, or did it only arise from conscience? No one can answer this with certainty; however, the first hypothesis seems the most likely.

The Hindu Trinity has remained deeply rooted for millennia. Its divine figures are, admittedly, symbols, and this is not at all troubling, since the raison d'être of this Trinity resides in the symbol itself. Each deity reveals a principle of the sacred order of the world: Ganesha embodies wisdom and prudence, while Shiva represents the destruction of harmful actions.

It thus appears that there is a true Trinity and an illusory Trinity.
