Thank you Jagbir for this post.

 

Although short - the message is clear that the " problem of " Hinduism

and Islam(or any religion for that matter) lies not with the religion

per se but with the false interpertation - like what Shree Mataji has

always been saying.

 

In relation to your previous post where you mentioned about the new

Malaysian PM winning the elections and deserving the win - if I may

dare say so he won the elections almost singlehandedly.Malaysia has

30-35% of population which is non-Muslim.

 

The most wonderful part is he did so inspite of being known as a

devout Muslim.The main difference between him and the fundamentalist

Muslim party(PAS) leaders was that he actually lives by the

principles of Prophet Muhammad SAW and everyone (Muslims and non-

Muslims) loved that.To our PM, Islam is a way of life and his

responsibilty is to God - and we all know God can never do wrong.The

bulk of the majority Muslims rejected the fundamentalist Muslim party

(PAS).

 

President Bush , Israeli PM Sharon , Hamas/Arafat or any country for

that matter can learn a few lessons from him and the elections.

1)Using brute force will not beget good results(The Mughal emperors

tried it with Hindus in India)

2)Practice what you preach - USA policy at present " speaks with a

forked tongue " .Palestinians seem to have no right to human rights.

3)Be a devout Muslim, Christian, Jew etc and practice the true

teachings and you can still win the hearts of people of other

religions.

 

Our PM's honesty, humilty , respect for all , family values ,

dedication to God and respect of other religions , loyalty to friends

and valuing friendship based on human values rather than wealth and

stature is exceptional.His hatred for anything evil be it

corruption,vice,laziness and all the negativities we mention during

havan is very well known.

 

Last but not least although we SYogi/nis are blessed by Adishakti ,

our PM is just one of the many many human beings out there who would

make a better SYogi/ni than a number of us(me at least).

I agree with " Even after discovering the truth that Brahman is

within i have never considered the depth i have achieved even

remotely sufficient for enlightenment. I really hope most SYs are of

similar humility. "

 

Jai Shree Mataji
