MYSTERY OF MYSTERIES AND SUPER SAINT

[Guest guest]

Under strict regimentation, man is completely given to fanaticism.

This, in turn, generates in him intolerance, hatred and animosity, towards

those who profess different faiths and beliefs or follow different paths or

whose diet, dress or culture is at variance with his own. At times,

passions are so worked up that even for a slight deviation from or

non-performance of a religious practice, such people do not hesitate to shed

blood, apparently to appease their God or to prove their devotion.

Ironically, at times, such acts of fanaticism are committed even in the very

places of worship. It may sound strange, but it is a stark fact that the

largest number of human lives have been sacrificed at the alter of religion:

It will not be exaggeration to say that the concept of God being a finite or

corporal being is as old as the human history. It was repudiated, from

time to time, by the Great Masters, who enlightened the people that God is

all pervading and formless. The Gos is one. But with the departure of

Great Master from the scene, the foresaid delusion about God reasserts

itself. All this is so ironical and even amazing. Such a situation has

always provided a hay-day to the self-styled redeemers and take religious

preachers to confound the people again.

SCRIPTURES

Man, by nature, relishes an easy and comfortable living. But, to keep his

body and soul together, he has to toil hard, day and night. He suffers

from a real or imaginary fear of want and insecurity and is thus driven to

seek refuge in the (unknown) supreme power i.e. God, the great giver and

the source of strength to weak and solace to distressed, disturbed and

distracted.

 

The self-styled redeemers are ever ready to prescribe for the seekers short

cuts to the coveted haven. They know well that people may have a belief in

the (unknown) God, but they have firm faith in and unbounded reverence for

the (known) scripture. To strengthen their strong hold over the devout,

they resort to dilatory and divisionary tactics, making the scriptures the

starting point. Exploiting the devotee’s faith in the scriptures,

they assert that the scripture which the latter follow is the only true one,

ignoring the fundamental fact that essence of all the scripture is one and

the same. And this is the only rational attitude and approach.

 

The basic reason for such an illogical attitude is that, contrary to the

scriptural teaching, people tend to regard the scripture describe God, but

it is equally true that they cannot reveal God. Certainly, they enshrine

the experience and teachings of the Great Masters and are therefore worthy

of respect and regard. But self-sublimation and self-redemption is

possible by living up to tenets of the scripture and not by their adoration.

No doubt, the devout read and recite the scriptures, but they do not

comprehend the spirit behind, the key to which lies with the True Master.

A True Master is, therefore, indispensible to provide clue.
