But why do they bother to uplift the lot of the
society, which is primarily the concern of the government, whereas they should
be engaged in transforming the very characters of the humanity at large?
If we totally depend on society or nation, past history warns us that each nation under the sway of powerful leaders or the cult of leadership, tried useless methods for the improvement of standards of its general public in the sphere of education and material prosperity. But each time the results have been similar, further degeneration and devaluation of human values, at the cost of the few – the elite of the society – the torch bearers, the slogans shouters; it were always these people who benefited. They filled their coffers and expanded their imperial realms. Or if ever there has been material progress, it was always at the cost of nature and the dehumanization of man. Material progress has enhanced man’s value in wealth but his finer values, the very basis of his character, have been eroded. Man is becoming like the machines he has invented. He has lost the balance with nature. Nature, he considers his domain and by understanding its intricacies, he wants to master it someday. Spirit, divinity – love, not being the essential components of his machines, he has discarded like rotten cabbage.
It is because of these worsening (degenerating) conditions that second category of masters comes into the world and they reassert the worthiness of human values by their personification. By precept, example and practical applications, they elucidate to the world, the potency of spiritual edification by showing the possible results of their experimentation and demonstrations.
This class of Masters realizes the cosmic-conscious level by their own effort. There have been hundreds of such Maharishis (great sages), Messengers and Prophets. Their second most important distinction is, each one left the legacy of a new religion. And most of the religions came to be known after their names.
Without going into, what we have already
discussed, it is a fact also, that there have been very few who could reveal something
about the creation of the Universe! Whatever they have told us, are proving to
be nursery tales. Is our earth only a few thousand years old? Does space
contain only a million of stars (when there may be billions of galaxies). Is
the sun, an important entity in the communities of the cosmos? Or if we accept
the Gita philosophy, that each soul changes its wear like garments then it
basically differs with some other philosophies, that the spirits (souls) of the
buried followers shall be redeemed with the coming of the promised prophets.
What I am trying to impress upon is not to condemn or nullify the gospels,
truths or ideologies of current or ancient faiths and religions. I am simply
trying to make a point that there exist different levels of consciousness in
our minds, which represent the same levels as existing in the space. And as we
go on awakening our conscious levels of memory (chambers) including wisdom, we
acquire those levels and our inner-outer consciousness (intelligence) becomes
one, which really is one.cont.........
