Shri Mataji's Vision of World Peace - Part 5

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Shri Mataji does not give general advice for 'World Peace'. She pays attention

to every detail. It is clear that if the 'details' are looked after, that the

'whole picture' will change for humanity. So do human beings understand just how

important all the details are, to achieve a New Age where there is 'World Peace'

instead of 'World War'?....

 

We concluded Part 4 with:

 

" I have another very good memory about my second daughter. She stood first in

the Master of Arts Examination in Bombay University. Before that in Delhi, she

went to a college which was rather Westernised. One day she asked me whether she

could wear sleeveless blouses as many girls were doing. I told her: " Now you are

grown up. You can decide for yourself. " Then she asked: " Mother, why do you not

wear sleeveless blouses? " I said: " I do not want to expose my shoulder joints,

because if I expose them I may develop some pain. Moreover, I am very

traditional. " She thought for a while and then said: " There must be some deeper

reasons. " Then I had to tell her that both the shoulder joints have the most

important chakras named as Shri Chakra and Shri Lalita Chakra, which must be

covered. She was very shocked. She said: " Mother, then you should not permit me

to do anything which is wrong. You are my Mother, much wiser. You should have

just said " No " and should have saved my Chakras. "

Shri Mataji's Vision of World Peace - Part 5

 

Films for children should be previewed by individual parents and sponsored by a

Parent's Committee - and all other films which are not meant for children,

should be shown on television only after nine o'clock, when the children should

be fast asleep. All films which show monsters, dead bodies or spirits, and all

sorts of things which frighten the children, should not be shown. Once they are

frightened at such a tender age, they carry the memory of that fright with them.

We have treated many children for having fears, about the moon, or a tree, or a

dog. All these fears are caused by some persons who narrate frightening stories

to little children. These fears are very persistent and can be removed only by

persistent and patient efforts - to demonstrate to the children that there is no

truth in the frightening stories narrated to them. I have found out that one of

the causes of psychosomatic diseases, like cancer - is the built-in fear that

children imbibe in their childhood. Sometimes such fears make them behave in

strange ways, like secretly devising ways of destroying those whom they fear.

 

People who get married should have a clear understanding as to why they are

getting married. If they want to have children, they should know why they are

having children. The code of conduct for married people, should be such that it

brings forth the best in them and enables them to realise their dreams of a

happy married life. There are many couples who live together without being

married. When they do get married, usually in the West, they get very upset with

each other. The reason is that the law provides that if a married couple

divorces, then the money is divided in half, the house is divided equally - and

so many people are afraid of that. In a country like America, I have seen women

who could be called 'princesses', because they have amassed a lot of wealth by

divorcing ten times and taking half the wealth of each divorced husband. Some of

these ex-husbands of such women, are eventually left behind as paupers. This is

a common disease in a country where women have got such rights under the law to

protect them. They are turning marriages into business enterprises - so much so

- that people have to say: " Now, protect us from these women! " This kind of a

law was alright a long time ago, but now it is very dangerous and something

should be done to change it and to stop this kind of a divorce that is only a

money-making endeavour.

 

The films that we see these days, are in no way near to what used to be produced

in earlier times. Firstly, the language is not understood by anybody but

Americans, if they are American films. If they are English films, they cannot be

understood by anybody other than the British. In the olden days, pronunciation

in English films used to be very clear. Now, things are very different. Now,

English is pronounced in an 'americanised' way. Even the television news

readers, are not as careful about pronunciation, as they used to be. At the same

time, the pronunciation of some people who have left England, or who have left

America and are settled in India, Hong Kong, or Japan - is much better than that

of the people who live in England or America.

 

What is most disturbing about the present day films, is the fact that most of

them are full of nauseating sex and terrible violence. They have a very evil

influence on the society - especially the young. These films must be censored by

very idealistic people. There should be rules and regulations, prescribing the

parameters within which films may be created. Much of today's films cannot be

described as 'Art'. In fact, they are grotesque and vulgar! If it is " pure Art " ,

you do not need sex and violence to impress people. " Art " itself, is most

impressive! But nowadays, to suit public taste, all kinds of low level films are

created. They are going from bad to worse and there is no effective censoring.

There should be a Censorship Board of people who are known to be very good

morally and who can correct this kind of production. Children's films,

especially, should be previewed and censored most carefully. They should aim at

enhancing the children's moral and compassionate value system. Films should not

be money-oriented but culture-oriented. The policy for education should be the

same. Children should be encouraged to read good books, written by great and

noble men of the whole world - and not only of their own country. They should

develop a great liking for books, which are biographies and autobiographies,

rather than science-fiction that is imaginary, or some sort of a 'warmonger's

life story'. If you put before them all these horrible characters, the children

will easily absorb the qualities of bad people. Older boys and girls, should

read books which demonstrate how an immoral life is ruinous.

 

The theory that there should be absolute freedom for children, is also very

dangerous. Their real freedom can be given later, when they understand the

'meaning' of freedom, which can be benevolent if they are wise and mature.

Parents should take pride in their age, and not be 'crazy' like the younger

generation in their 'stupidity'. Once I had gone to Santa Monica, America,

accompanied by an Indian lady. One morning she knocked at my door and said: " Get

up soon, get up soon! " I couldn't understand it. I just came and opened the

door, and asked: " What's the matter? " She said: " There's an earthquake coming! "

I said: " What makes you think that? " She said: " All the people are running on

the road! " I said: " Where? " I came out and saw all the people running, no doubt,

because they were going for a jog. And I told her: " This is an exercise they

take early in the morning, called " jogging " . " She said: " No, no, but there are

many old women and men running also! So how can that be? How can they behave in

the same manner as the younger people are doing? " I told her: " You don't know,

this is America. Here older people have not yet matured enough, to understand

that it is wrong for them to run in the way the young people are running. In

America, the old people still want to do everything which the young people are

doing. They have no wisdom - so the young people do not respect them. "
