Intolerance and Judgment

The paradox here is that you will affect the world in the ways that you wish when you cease trying to improve conditions with intolerance and judgment. It is only when you are not controlled by ego that you can choose to not control others. What you believed was power when you dominated others was actually the external activity of ego controlling you.

Learning Tolerance

Your impact on the world at large begins with the smaller world of yourself. You will foster freedom and peace when you are free of ego's control and know the peace of your higher self travelling the path of the sacred quest. One of the first steps along your path is learning tolerance by practising seeing the world as it is rather than as you demand it to be.

Truth

Truth is always one and the same, but there are many ways of expressing it. There is only one truth, but realized souls explained it in their respective ways and languages. But plurality of languages does not mean plurality of truths. What is Supreme Entity which all saints came to tell us about? For thousands of years, since Vedic times, scriptures have been available to us. So why did great souls have to come into this world? What is the need for divine incarnations?

Knowledge

It is a very basic and significant question, and only when we think deeply about it will we understand its mystery. The Vedas, the Bible, the Upanishads and the Koran have long been available to us, so why do we need saints and holy masters? It seems to mean that as long as man cannot practically experience spiritual knowledge for himself, there will always be a need for enlightened souls in this world. In other words, we need the assistance of enlightened masters because we don't understand the deep and secret meanings of the scriptures. I have met religious scholars who are so learned that if you give them one word they'll complete the whole verse for you. You can take a line from any part of the Ramayana, and they will complete the whole section for you, including all the couplets and verses. They have mastered the scriptures. Accomplishing this feat can affect a person in two ways: He can think that he knows all there is to know, and that he doesn't have to be taught anything, or he can feel that there is something else he ought to know which is beyond the scriptures. Scientists do research and experiments, but none of them will say that he has discovered all there is to know. If they thought like this, then there would be no more inventions and no more Nobel prizes. Science keeps on developing and discovering new things. If this did not happen, it could not advance. Socrates' admirers used to say to him, "Sir, you have attained great heights, you are very wise and intellectual. How did you become so great?" Socrates answered," Because I know that I know nothing"

Realize the Truth

This world is so large. It is impossible for us to imagine how vast the solar system is. There are stars whose light hasn't even reached us yet. We can't even imagine the limits of the galaxies. A person who thinks that he knows everything is so full of pride that he is not willing to bow his head to anyone. He refuses to realize the truth. There is a good example of this in the Ramayana. When Lord Rama succeeded in breaking the bow of Shiva, Parashurama arrived, extremely angry. He wanted to know who had broken the bow. He didn't stop to think that someone who could break that bow could not be an ordinary man, that he must have superior powers. He simply flew into a rage and swore revenge.

Guru

One saint said, "Prostrate yourself at the guru's feet countless times. Just as the bhringi wasp changes other insects into its own shape, so the guru makes you like himself."

Spirituality

The uniqueness of spirituality is that God is the shelter of the weak. Contrary to the materialistic outlook of most people, spiritual people say that human beings are the temple of the divine energy. After all, whatever we have achieved in this world has been due to our human energy.

Treasure of the Holy Name

Man in himself is not a problem. Realized souls say that the power to solve the world's problems lies with man himself. Saints have never considered mankind to be a burden on the earth. Saint Tulsidas described the human life form as being "just right for spiritual endeavours and the gateway to liberation." God has granted us the boon of the human body so that we can achieve the state of Nirvana. If we wish, we can use it for our own good. We can experience divine love ourselves and share it with others. We have been given all the resources. For example, we have here a microphone and loudspeakers. It is up to us whether good or bad thoughts are transmitted through them. It is upto you whether you strew thorns or flowers in your life. You can make your life hell or heaven. Man has this much free will. He can, if he wishes, use his life to dig deep within himself and find the treasure of the Holy Name.
