Factors disturbing world peace

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

Divine Message of His Holiness Sri Datta Swami

 

What are the various factors, which disturb the world peace, and how your

universal spirituality responds?

 

Ans) The various factors are:

 

1. Communal wars based on religious differences:

 

Every religion says that God created this entire world. Since there is only

one world, there should be one God, who must be impartial to all the children in

the universe. That one God must have preached the same spiritual knowledge in

different languages and different countries, which were disconnected and had no

communication in the old times. At that time, had he preached the true spiritual

knowledge to one country only, God becomes partial because some generations in

other countries passed away without the communication of that spiritual

knowledge. Had they got it, at least some of them might have reached God.

Ofcourse today, all the countries are connected with communication and since

that special spiritual knowledge is communicated to all the countries, the

disbelievers in any country must go to hell. But what about those people of

those old generations who went to hell due to only one single point, which is

that, they were not communicated at that time? For no fault of them,

they went to hell. The assumption that those unfortunate souls can take human

rebirth now to hear that special knowlede on this earth is also ruled out since

you say that there is no rebirth for the soul. All this makes God partial.

 

Let us assume that God taught that special knowledge in that old time to a

particular country because that country only was containing all the deserving

human beings. It is just like the intensive coaching given to a special class

containing top most students. This is also ruled out because at that time the

worst souls were also present in every country. This is proved because at that

time the people of that country only killed Jesus who gave that special

knowledge. If Krishna gave that special knowledge at that time, several enemies

fought with Him. Similarly, Mohammed fought with several enemies. Therefore, the

partiality of God to a special group of deserving people is also ruled out. If

you say blindly that God is partial to a particular country only irrespective of

deserving and undeserving souls, God should have been blind like you.

 

Faith is the final part of the path to reach God. But, faith should not be

blind. It shall be the result of true knowledge, which is the fruit of logical

analysis. Science also believes a concept. But that concept must have been

established by practical experiments followed by detailed logical analysis. Such

faith stands permanently and will appeal even to the hearts of scholars apart

from ordinary people. Such faith alone can be universal. If faith is to be

accepted without logic, a terrorist may come to kill you. His faith is to kill

the people. Do you respect his faith and get killed by him? No, you will resist

and get him arrested and produce him in the court. The advocate and judge ask

for the reason and hold logical arguments. Let the judge and advocate believe

the faith and let them not discuss the case. Will you be satisfied?

 

In the scripture of every religion, the corresponding human incarnation gave

statements like ‘I am the light, I am the path, I and My father are one and the

same, one can reach My father only through Me’ etc. Every fanatic follows that

particular human being only quoting the scripture of his religion only. There is

a neutral person. Which religion he should join? Every shopkeeper is shouting

that his shop is only the best shop and invite the single customer. The above

concept of one God and one world clearly demands the unity in all the human

incarnations and in all the religious scriptures. Statements of those scriptures

if properly interpreted can achieve this. The word ‘I’ means the human

incarnation in general. It is called Emmanuel in Bible, which means that God

comes to live with the human beings. Gita also says that God enters the human

body. The God pervades all over the human body like current pervading all over

the wire. The current and the wire become one and the same.

This is the interpretation of oneness of father and the son. One can experience

God only through the medium in which he is also present. Thus the human beings

can experience God through human incarnation only. This is the interpretation of

the statement that one can reach the father only through the son. The human

incarnation preaches clearly the special knowledge like a light showing every

minute detail. Such interpretations reveal the real universal meaning of

scriptures.

 

When a mother says to her children ‘all of you must serve me’, that does not

mean that she should be served by all the children in the world. The children

residing far cannot serve her. Her statement should be limited to her children

only and you should limit her as the mother of those children only. If you

generalise her as a mother, then it means that every child should serve its

mother. Therefore limitation is ignorance of conservatism and generalisation is

the true universal knowledge.

 

2. Poverty, Corruption etc.:

 

A poor man is suffering and poverty is the punishment given for the previous

sin committed by the soul. If such a poor person is helped, it amounts to

interference in the administration of God. The punishment is given for a change

and you need not sympathise it. The parental love of the Lord is greater than

your brotherly love. Only the grace of God can end the punishment forever.

Therefore you preach divine knowledge and devotion and then assist that poor

person. The divine knowledge and devotion will bring a change in him and you

have served the purpose of the punishment. Then God is pleased with you and also

will show grace on that poor person. The poverty will vanish forever. Therefore

social service must be integrated with spiritual mission. Sankara told the same

(Loka sevaka matha khandanam) and Mother Theresa did the same. Mere social

service is like a simple boarding and lodging given to the hostel students

without the primary teaching in the classes. Therefore, the aim of

terrorism gives only temporary and apparent relief whereas the spiritual

mission based social work is a permanent solution. The discoveries of scientists

without any spiritual basis, which were expected to serve the society, have

harmed the society. If one reads, the latest environmental science, it becomes

clear.

 

Corruption is grabbing the wealth of others for the sake of comforts of one’s

own body and one’s own family. The body is like a seat in the train and you are

the soul like the passenger. The family members are like just benchmates in the

same train. For the comfort of yourself and of your benchmates, you are

troubling the other passengers in the train and this is corruption. Life is just

a matter of one-hour train journey. Your benchmates will get down at their

respective destinations and will not remember you. You have to leave your seat

also. After the death, you have to leave the family members who do not recognise

you in the next birth. After getting down from the train, you have to face the

interview with God, which leads you to permanent happiness or misery. Therefore,

you must concentrate on the preparation of interview even during journey and not

on the comforts of your seat and benchmates. The bonds with benchmates are

temporary and unreal. Sankara says that whatever is

temporary must be unreal. The bond, which did not exist before and will not

exist in future, does not exist in the present time also. Such spiritual

realisation can only give a permanent control of corruption.

 

3. The Fight between Atheists and Theists:

 

The atheists believe the logical conclusions based on practical experience and

in things present before the naked eye (perception). The real spiritual

knowledge can satisfy all these requirements. The human incarnation of the God

is before the eyes. All the bonds with family and wealth are before the eyes and

liberation from such bonds called salvation is also before eyes. One can

experience God through the human incarnation in this world itself and in this

very life itself. Infinite love and bliss derived from the special divine

knowledge preached by the human incarnation are enjoyed here itself. Enjoyment

of love and bliss is the goal of any worldly bond. This is called Jeevanmukti,

which means the salvation here itself while you are alive. Whatever one achieved

while alive only, continues with the soul after the death also. Thus perception

is the basis for the invisible future also.
