ONE Malaysia ONE Universe

“In the history of humanity there are known many examples when entire civilizations have perished because knowledge outweighed being or being outweighed knowledge”

In ordinary thinking people do not distinguish understanding from knowledge. They think that greater understanding depends on grater knowledge. Therefore they accumulate knowledge, or that which they call knowledge, but they do not know how to accumulate understanding and do not bother about it.

So, a modern man lives in sleep, in sleep he is born, and in sleep he dies, so what knowledge can a sleeping man have? And if you think about it and at the same time remember that sleep is the chief feature of our being.

Please bear in mind!

“Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing”.

There are, “two lines along which man’s development proceeds, the line of knowledge and the line of being. In right evolution the line of knowledge and the line of being develop simultaneously, parallel to and helping one another.

But if the line of knowledge gets too far ahead of the line of being, or if the line of being gets ahead of the line of knowledge, man’s development goes wrong, and sooner or later it must come to a standstill.

This is exactly what people do not understand. And they do not understand that knowledge depends on being. Not only do they not understand this latter but they definitely do not wish to understand it, for example those who possess great knowledge, he may be an able scientist, make discoveries, advance science, and at the same time he may be, and has the right to be, a petty, egoistic, caviling, mean, envious, vain, naïve, and absent-minded man. It seems to be considered here that a professor must always forget his umbrella everywhere.

And yet it is his being. And people think that his knowledge does not depend on his being, modern people put great value on the level of a man’s knowledge but they do not value on the level of a man’s being and are not ashamed of the low level of their own being. They do not even understand what it means. And they do not understand that a man’s knowledge depends on the level of his being.

If knowledge gets far ahead of being, it become theoretical and abstract and inapplicable to life, or actually harmful, because instead of ‘serving life and helping people the better to struggle with the difficulties they meet, it begins to complicate man’s life, bring new difficulties into it, new troubles and calamities which were not there before.

The reason for this is that knowledge which is not in accordance with being, such preponderance of knowledge over being is observed in present day culture. The idea of the value and importance of the level of being is completely forgotten that the level of knowledge is determined by the level of being.

So, the most characteristic feature of a modern man is the absence of unity in him. In sleep he is born and in sleep he dies.

Generally speaking, the being of modern man is of very inferior quality. But it can be of such bad quality that no change is possible.

This must always be remembered!

People whose being can still be changed are very lucky. But there are people who are definitely diseased, broken machines with whom nothing can be done, and such people are in majority. So, the balance between knowledge and being is even more important than a separate development of either or the other. And a separate development of knowledge or of being is not desirable in any way. Although it is precisely this one-sided development that often seems particularly attractive to people.

Please remember!

Though the idea of one-sided is attractive to everybody, but this existence is one, we all are not separate from it. The separation, one-sided, bias or lopsided, is very illusory. We are joined together, we are one whole, we are not islands… WE ARE ONE CONTINENT, it is an interconnected whole.

The whole is one-separation is not possible. The very idea of separation or bias is the barrier. The idea of separation is what we call the ego, live as part of this infinite whole, not living as a separate entity. ‘FOR THE WHOLE NOT FOR THE PART’ Remember! ‘When the part exist in the whole, everything is harmonious, when the part starts existing on its own, everything becomes disharmonious’. Another word there is discord, conflict, confusion as current situations in our country; remember when you are not fused with the whole, Remember! There is bound to be confusion, whenever you are not with the whole you are unhappy, everybody is upset.

Let this be the definition of happiness:

To be with the whole is to be happy,
To be with the whole is to be healthy,
To be with the whole is to be holy,

To be separate or bias is to be unhealthy,
To be separate or bias is to be neurotic,
To be separate or bias is to fall from grace.

To all leaders of the country, remember! You will leave your mark for the future generation, after fifty years of running the country, or only for seven seconds, but still you will leave a mark; anything big or great or you may be nobody, you will leave your mark, it will affect the whole destiny of existence. The whole will not be the same.

Remember again the whole is one. ‘ONE MALAYSIA’ one universe, bias is not possible, please pay attention:

‘It is as if it were a vast spider web. Have you tried? Touch the spider’s web anywhere and the whole web starts shaking and trembling. The whole vibrates with it. You may not be able to see it right now, but things are so deeply related that it is impossible not to touch the stars by touching a leaf.’

The fall of man is not because he has disobeyed God. The fall is because man thinks he is separate entity. Man is so foolish, stupid. Understand the dimension of time. Past-future, and in space everybody is connected with everything. Everything is interdependence, nothing is separate, and so shouldn’t be any discrimination bias that can be disharmony.

The real man will have one universal consciousness or you want to call it ‘ONE MALAYSIA’ but the foundation will be by the meeting of science and religion. The whole existence is equal. The trees and the rocks, and the animals, and the birds all are sharing the whole existence on ‘EQUAL TERMS’. The moment you see this tremendous equality this oneness ‘One Malaysia One Universe’ then everybody is joyful. Joy that has no cause….. it is uncaused.
