Fanatic Religion

Image
Fanatic religion is as dangerous to the world as fanatic secularism. If themedieval era inaugurated a dark-age, our own is an age whichis also stormy. This is the problem that human is facing today in the world. Naturally the obvious solution seems to be in a harmonious blending of the "Sacred"and the "Secular"---the temple and the factory, the "Puja"and the "Ploughing". The hand with which we use the spanner and the screw-driver  must also be trainedto offer devotedly soft flowers and succulent fruits at the alter of the eternal Truth. The secular sanctifies the state, the sacred softens the self. Human alone cannot  live; the state aloneis not prosperty.

Philosophy and Religion

Philosophy and Religion try to tune up the human; philosophy rehabilitates the enjoyer's persolality;religion reorientates human to livein perfect equanimity in all possible exigencies of existences.

For all this we must rediscover a team of stalwart hearts, educated fully in the divine contents of our Scriptures-------a team of workers who should go out with a Christian zeal, with Buddhist compassion, an Islamic  daring, and spread the right understanding among the people. They must be equipped  with a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures, a firm moral integrity, an honest faith and a fiery zeal to help the country [BHARATHAM] to rediscover its own HEAD AND HEART.

We are not blaming any one for what we are at  the moment. To grin in contempt at the past generations for their mistakes may be justifiedin a book of history but it is not the healty preoccupation for a seeker searchingfor the heart of the Nation through a creative renaissance movement in the country.

Any one of the above reasons is sufficiant to open up the tomb of any culture. Yet Hinduism still lives!!! Byits very survival it declares the intrinisic vitality of the enduring tradition and culture which is ours.

3.Into this weak body-politic of the country, parasitic idealism reached to colonise and drain away its remaining healthy attitudes to life. Buddhism ,if it snatched the sword away from kshathriyas, Mohammedanism spread the spirit of antagonism amongstthe members of the society, and Christianity, with its sly missionary methods, has successfully fed our apathy towards and disgust for our own NATIONAL CULTURE [Bharatheeya  Samskaram].

2.Suffocated and choked by the poisonous atmosphere created by the political slavery, the defective leadership, the ruinous habits, lack of education, defective social adjustments in life, etc the heart of Hinduism has been for centuries labouring agaist odds.

Hinduism for a long time has been suffering fromsome sort of a lung-congestion, so that the life-current was not getting properly purified from time to time, even though the cultural-heart was limb dubbing all through-------in halting irregularity. contd-------
use no force. let spiritualy open, us up into fulfilment, as a bud opens itself into a flower.

LUST, ANGER, AND GREED ARE THE THREE DOORS TO THE HELL THAT ARJUNA  [ WE ] MUST AT ALL COSTS NOT ENTER. IF ANYONE CAN PASS BY THESE TEMPTING DOORS AND NOT ENTER THEM, THAT IS THE BEST; THE PERSON WHO ENTERS WILL NOT ONLY FAIL TO REACH LIFE'S FINAL GOAL, BUT WILL NOT EVEN ACHIEVE LASTING HAPPINESS AND PROSPERITY.
