How followers have messed up the spiritual teachings - Part 2

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 1 with:

 

" Thus we find, that in the Christian countries, people are behaving in an

absolutely opposite manner to what Christ had asked them to do. He had gone into

a very subtle side of purity that says: " Thou shall not have adulterous eyes "

while in the ten commandments, it was only said that: " Thou shall not commit

adultery " . If you are observant, you will be shocked to see that it is very hard

to find any man or woman in the Western countries who does not have adulterous

eyes. Of course it is different, if they are blind, or too old to flirt with

their eyes. They are always moving their eyes from one person to another with

lust and greed. It's impossible to understand how they can move their attention

so fast from one person to another, unless some screws are loose in their

brains, like a doll, which has screws that control the eyeballs. The eyes start

moving very fast like flirts. They might become mad or get possessed by one

thing or another. How can the human attention be so mobile in such a fruitless

pursuit? "

Here now is Part 2:

 

 

How followers have messed up the spiritual teachings - Part 2

 

After Christ, came Mohammed Sahib and perhaps he felt that if all these rules

and regulations were written down, they were only for the men. But what about

the women? So he said something should be done about the women [to the effect

that]: " If they follow an absolutely moral path, then the men will also be

automatically moral " . He respected holy women. He had great respect for Christ's

mother and also for women as a whole. In the Bible she is called as an ordinary

woman. The idea of Madonna came from the Pagan religion, which existed before

Christ.

 

But Mohammed Sahib, who was the incarnation of the primordial master (Prophet),

knew who the Mother of Christ was. In Sahaja Yoga She is worshipped as

Mahalaxmi. He did not want many women, to be immoral and take to prostitution.

For a married woman, there are very strict punishments. It is said that in the

Koran, he said: " Any woman, who is immoral, must be buried in the sand half way

and should be stoned " , (sometimes, she could be dead). I wonder if he said such

a thing, or if it was Muvayya who edited the Koran. [break Quote]

 

Note:

 

Here are 4 quotes which mention 'Muvayya'/'Muawiyah' (with different spelling)

but it appears to be the person Shri Mataji is referring to, above:

 

1./ " Apart from ethnic and other differences, religious divisions in Islam

itself are deep rooted. The seeds of disunity (schism) in the embryonic Muslim

Ummah were sown as soon Prophet Mohammed lay dead. While his cousin and son in

law Ali and family were preparing the body for the burial, another clan of the

Qurayesh tribe elected Abubakr as the first Caliph. (according to Shias, Prophet

Mohan1med had given enough indications for Ali to be his successor). The schism

(Shiite) was complete when Muvayya clan fought with Ali. Shias do not recognise

the first three caliphs and in many places even abuse them. The two Caliphs,

Omar and Othman, after Abubakr's natural death, died of violence, as did Ali,

the first rightful Caliph and Imam according to Shias. Ali's son Imam Hussein

and almost his entire entourage were martyred by the soldiers of Umayyad Sunni

Caliph Yazid at Karbala in 680, now commemorated every year as Moharram. He

remains the most revered Imam for his sacrifice for a cause. Almost all early

Imams were maltreated and persecuted by the Sunnis. So Sunni Shia differences

and violence are deep rooted in Islamic history and psyche. "

2./ " The seeds of disunity in the embryonic Muslim Ummah were sown as soon

Abubakr as the first Caliph. (According to Shias, Prophet Mohammed had given

when Muvayya clan fought with Ali. Among Muslims there is not even an agreement

on the Caliphs. Shias do not even recognise the first three caliphs and in many

places abuse them. The two after Abubakr's natural death i.e Omar and Othman,

died of violence, as did Ali, the first rightful Caliph and Imam according to

Shias. Ali's son Hussein and almost his entire entourage were martyred by the

soldiers of Umayyad Sunni Caliph Yazid at Karbala in 680 which is now

commemorated as Moharram. Almost all early Imams were maltreated and persecuted

by the Sunnis. So violence is deep rooted in Islamic history and psyche.

Christians believing in Darwin's theory of 'survival of the fittest', i.e use of

force, must remember it. After 11 September many Muslims, even scholars,

declared that Islam means 'peace'. So all Muslims are naturally peaceful (in

general the masses are, as they are in other religions). Yes, but the lands

under Muslim rule are called Dar-ul-Islam, but those under enemies are

Dar-ul-harb, arena for warfare. Why not OIC come out with a statement opposing

non-peaceful means by Muslims?

 

For Sunnis, Imam is only a prayer leader and could be any one. But for the

Shias, he is a spiritual leader with the divine spark and juris-consult

(Vilayet-el-Faqih). The sacred Islamic law Sharia enacted under different

situations and times has many schools among Sunnis, who unlike the Shias have

closed ijtihad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ijtihad, independent reasoning in

Islamic Law to meet new situations. The Aryan Shia Iranians created the office

of Imam (like Shankaracharya among Brahmins) as only an Arab could become a

Caliph. After the first dynastic Umayyad caliphate based in Damascus was

replaced by another branch of Quresh tribe, Abbasids, and shifted to Iraq in

750, a number of local dynasties started appearing as the empire expanded. Far

away in the West an Ummayed Prince established an independent kingdom in

Cordova, Spain. But all these kingdoms recognised the supremacy of Abbasid

Caliph. The unity under the Sunni Caliph was finally broken when Fatimids

anointed their own Caliph first in Tunisia, then in Egypt in 10th century. So

the Ummayed prince in Cordoba too declared himself the third Caliph.

 

In the meantime after nearly two hundred years of Arab dominance in Islam, the

Turkish nomad slaves, recruited for their loyalty and fighting prowess as

Praetorian guards to begin with, took over power and upgraded the minor office

of Sultan into a powerful one, i.e., the protector of by [the] now hapless

Caliph. The Ottomans took away the Caliphate by force from the Arabs and Ataturk

abolished it in 1923. The Ottoman Caliphs and Sultans were not recognized by

Shia Safavids of Persia. Recognition by Uzbek Shaybani Khans of Central Asia and

Turkic and Persian speaking Moghuls of Hindustan and others was at best only

nominal. Akbar the Great Moghul even synthesized a new religion, Din-e-Elahi,

but it did not endure. "

3./ " After the death of Muawiyah, his son Yazid became Caliph but was almost

immediately challenged by Ali's younger son, Hussein, who would not swear

allegiance to Yazid for a number of reasons, among which that the Caliphate was

not supposed to be hereditary, and that Yazid was said to be corrupt. Yazid's

forces were stronger than those of Hussein and Hussein was killed at the Battle

of Karbela. This event would ultimately lead to a full schism between Shi'a

Islam and Sunni Islam. "

4./ A forum came up with the research of the name 'Muvayya' that also shows how

much religious argument there is. Muslims also need to be resurrected and have

their absolute knowledge within, where such religious arguments can finally

cease, bringing peace instead of religious doctrinal conflicts, and etc:

" How followers have messed up the spiritual teachings - Part 2 " ----

 

But the way they follow it in the Islamic countries is really sinful to give

this kind of punishment to all those who are considered immoral women. Whatever

it is, it is very difficult in these modern time, to find very moral people

after the pattern that Mohammed Sahib thought. He accepted many marriages

because he didn't want women to have relationships without marriage. In those

days there were many women who survived the death of their husbands, in the wars

they had among the tribes. There were many young girls who had no chance of

marriage, as many young people were killed in the wars in different tribes,

against Mohammed Sahib. Whatever he did at that time was 'Samayachar', was very

essential to create a new generation of very pure and compassionate people:

 

Samayachar:

 

" Whatever is the situation at that time, at that moment (840317); The problem of

that time (960915), and which is dealt with accordingly. As the times change so

does the Samayachar (840906); From Samaya/time and Achar/behaviour (0.0005) " .

Both Jesus Christ and Mohammed Sahib were not only Divine but they were

incarnations who had a special mission to come on this earth. These highly

evolved souls who came on this earth, perhaps could not really understand the

kind of people to whom they gave these precious warnings. Afterwards you see the

reaction of the people in a very different way, who say they follow Islam or

Christianity. Actually, to a modern man, is it possible to say [to him] that he

should keep a control over his attention, or a control over his mind, and also

find out through introspection, prayers, or Namaz, what is wrong with him? This

becomes a mechanical process which has developed though ages. They don't

understand why it was said and why it should be done, that one has to fear

[i.e., respect] God Almighty and try to be good reflections of His kindness, His

greatness and His Divinity. The prayer said without the connection (i.e., Union

or Yoga) with God, is like a telephone without any connection. 'Namaz' is the

way a realised soul can cleanse his Chakras with Kundalini activated. "

It is very significant for SYs that Shri Mataji says that:

 

" Namaz is the way a realised soul can cleanse his chakras with Kundalini

activated " .

 

In other words, Muslims do not have to take up the Hindu rituals so prevalent in

the organisation of Sahaja Yoga. Shri Mataji says that " Namaz is the way a

realised soul [in Islam] can cleanse his chakras, with Kundalini activated " .
