Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Religion [mata] will exist only so long as mind [mati] exists. After it [the mind] has merged into the heart by turning within and scrutinizing that mind [by enquiring ‘Who am I, this mind?’], in [that] abundantly peaceful Silence no such religion can stand. Michael James: In Sanskrit and Tamil religion is called ‘mata’ because it can exist only within the realm of the mind (mati). Therefore, when the mind merges in Self, the state of Supreme Silence, through the enquiry ‘Who am I?’, no religion can remain. Thus aspirants should understand that all the differences and controversies created by the various different religions exist only in the mind, and that those difference and controversies can be resolved only by the mind’s turning inwards and merging into Self, the reality or Silence which is the common and harmonious factor in all religions.
