WHY ALL THE RELIGIONS HAVE FAILED SO FAR

 

“Why all the religions have failed so far ?

As we are now Sahaja Yogis we have to know that we have become something different from what we were. We are Yogis, we are higher people than others. And as such we have to understand one thing, that we are not like other human beings who say something and do something, who can live with hypocrisy.

That’s why all the problems have arisen out of all the religions. A person who says he’s a Christian he is absolutely anti-Christ; who says who is Islamic, he is absolutely anti-Mohammed; who says who is a Hindu is absolutely anti Shri Krishna.

This is the main reason why all the religions have failed so far, because human beings talk big of ideals.

They all say that we have this ideal, that ideal, but they are not those ideals, they cannot live with those ideals. The ideals are not in their lives, they are outside. But they go about saying that these are our ideals, they become fanatics, but they are not the ideals.

By Sahaja Yoga now you have the method, you have the possibility, that you can become the ideals. The ideal has to first to be understood through your brains, in the West specially. What are the ideals we have become or we have to become, what we can achieve, this idea you must have.

And secondly you must have a capacity to deepen your meditative power, so that these ideals go and settle in your heart as a part and parcel of your being, that you can’t live without these ideals.

We can take an example say of Christ. For Christ He and His ideals were the same, there’s no difference between the two. He did not talk of one thing, did another thing and executed the third thing. This will be the difference between the Sahaja Yogis and non Sahaja Yogis, that whatever are your ideals have to be expressed in your life every moment, because you are that.

If you are gold, then gold is gold all the time. It is not gold sometimes, then sometimes iron and sometimes mud, it is gold all the time. Only human beings are like that, that sometimes they can be snakes, lions and could be foxes also. But as Sahaja Yogis you become pure human beings and this is what we have to know.

It is not difficult to strive for it, it’s not difficult, because now you have the power to deepen your roots to your heart.

So the brain must be used to understand clearly what are the ideals of a Sahaja Yogi; what are the things that a Sahaja Yogi should do; how he should behave in life; what methods he should follow. And then he has to bring it to his heart through meditative processes, through surrendering….

So you are very different from all others because a Spirit has given birth to your Spirit. You have been cleansed by the Spirit..
