The History of Religion

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

 

 

What we are witnessing here is the history of religion as it has repeated

itself for thousands of years.

 

 

 

A truly great spiritual being appears. S/he lives his life, works his

wonders, and speaks his words. Persons are attracted and carry on after the

passing of the great one. Rifts/misunderstandings develop immediately, and

the movement starts to fracture and splinter endlessly.

 

 

 

These misunderstandings are inevitable because hardly anyone understands.

And those who do realize, know that they could speak endlessly forever and

yet it wouldn't make any difference.

 

 

 

 

 

Bhagavad Gita,

 

Chapter 7, verse 3: Among thousands of men, one, here and there, strives

for perfection; and of those who strive and succeed, one, perchance, knows

Me in truth.

 

 

 

Chapter 2, Verses 52 and 53. When your mind has crossed the slough of

delusion, you will achieve indifference regarding things already heard and

things yet to be heard. When your mind---now perplexed by what you have

heard---stands firm and steady in the Self, then you will have attained

yoga.

 

 

 

Chapter 2, verses 15-17: That calm man who remains unchanged in pain and

pleasure, whom these cannot disturb, alone is able, O greatest of men, to

attain immortality. The unreal never is. The Real never ceases to be. The

conclusion about these two is truly perceived by the seers of Truth. That

by which all this is pervaded know to be imperishable. None can cause the

destruction of that which is immutable.

 

 

 

 

 

Be at peace. Don't worry. Be happy. Love one another through everything.
