Shri Mataji's Vision for World Peace - Part 11

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

We concluded Part 10 with:

 

" So people are fighting in the name of God and there is no World Peace. Behind

all these activities, there is also powerful money orientation and when it comes

to economics, the people of the highest order in a religion, succumb to

compromise, however immoral it may be. They have neither character nor courage

nor real faith to resist fashionable trends. In fact they allow their followers

to swim with the evil currents of the day and thus lead them into hell from

where there is no return. These religions inject fixed ideas into the brains of

people. These fixed ideas start developing in a collective way and this can

produce a very big, collective monster which can believe only in killing others

and pushing its own ideas. "

Shri Mataji's Vision for World Peace - Part 11

 

Hitler had fixed ideas, and he believed that the Germans were a superior race.

The idea that the Germans were the highest race was the greatest absurdity I

think. The Germans killed children in the gas chambers and devised methods to

have en-masse killings. How could they be people of the highest race? The

highest race is that of saints. In their life, compassion and love are the only

drink they have and which they enjoy. To call the Germans the highest race is to

degrade the rest of the human race and brand it as inferior or even primitive.

This is racism of the worst kind. I have heard that in Germany they had a very

great saint in the thirteenth century, who is highly respected even today all

over the world. The Germans have been claiming that they are the ones who wrote

the Vedas. This is another extreme absurdity. How could these people who are

always thinking that they are a higher race and that they have a right to kill

others, write such advanced, philosophical treatises like the Vedas? Though

Hitler is dead and the second world war ended fifty years ago, we still find

that a new type of fascism is coming up in the world. It is emerging in Italy,

in France and indeed all over Europe. You find this type of neo-fascism all over

the European continent. Even the extreme right wing in politics is nothing but

fascism and this fascism is seeping smoothly into the minds of the people. They

have even voted for the right wing in so many countries in Europe, especially in

France. It is amazing that after being subjugated and dominated by the Germans

for three years, the French still have these ideas about right wing fascists.

Perhaps the French have inherited this trend from the Germans who lived there.

 

A lady who ran away from France and built a house very near Switzerland because

her husband was a Russian, told me that the French always believed that the

Germans were a very great race and a very powerful nation. I was surprised at

these French people who believed in such fascist ideas. The results of the

election in the year 1995 have shown that the French have voted for a right wing

man who is known to be completely bureaucratic. As soon as he was elected, he

declared that he would have a nuclear explosion in the Pacific. What was the

need to have this kind of explosion in the South Pacific at a time when we are

talking of destroying all atomic or nuclear weapons? Does he want to have

another war with some other nations because the power of Russia does not

threaten them anymore? And of which country is Europe now afraid? Why should the

French test a nuclear weapon in the Pacific, torturing nations like Australia

and New Zealand?

 

Sometimes I feel that Hitler is born again and again and shows his deeds all

over the world. How can people succumb to his racist, monstrous ideas even today

and vote for such people? I can't understand this! It took nine years for Hitler

to cause the second world war. He was very much against the Jews and the

atmosphere in those days in Germany was extremely decadent and immoral. He took

advantage of both these things and tried to poison the minds of young people.

For all these nine years, what were the European countries doing? ---- Were they

sleeping or were they busy fighting the recession so much so that they did not

even notice the rise of Nazis in Germany and Fascists in Italy? There are many

people even today who believe that they belong to a higher race and that they

can destroy all the rest of the people because they don't belong to that race or

maybe that religion. All such fixed ideas constitute a grave threat to peace in

any country and indeed to global peace.

 

For example, the Muslims believe in a formless God. It is a religion which

teaches absolute detachment from worldly things. But what are they doing? They

are fighting for a piece of land here and there, and troubling everyone and

torturing so many. They themselves are also being tortured. They call this Jihad

and they believe quite stupidly that by getting killed in a Jihad, they will get

their resurrection. All these fixed ideas can be neutralised only through

self-realisation, because through self-realisation one knows the reality. The

reality, the truth is that this world is one, that nothing belongs to anyone in

particular, and that there is no need to fight for any territory or for land

whatsoever. Of course, for protection from aggressive nations, people should

form boundaries around their country and try to protect themselves. It would be

unwise to ignore the fact that there are so many aggressive people who are

trying to destroy the peace of the world. We must be vigilant against them. But

that is no reason for promoting quarrels and fights everywhere.
