RELIGION HAS NOT HAPPENED TO THE WORLD YET

If you look back at the history of man, you cannot resist the temptation to say that we have lived in the past in an insane way. In the name of GOD, in the name of church, in the name of mosque, in the name of ideologies, which have no evidence at all, people have been killing each other.

"Religion Has Not Happened To The World Yet".

Have you ever heard of churches of love, temples of love, mosques of love?

It is a message of love from you to the whole cosmos, the trees, the mountain, the rivers, the oceans, the stars, he knows what prayers is. He knows a deeper dance in his heart and a music which has no sounds. Which renews its life a fresh. It is a message of love from you to the whole universe.

The word is significant; it means putting the parts together, so that the part are no longer parts, but become whole.

The root meaning of the word religion is; to put things together in such a way the part is no longer a part, but becomes the whole. Each part becomes the whole, in togetherness.

Each part, separate, is dead; joined together, a new quality appears, the quality of the whole. And to bring that quality into your life is the purpose of all religion... And it is nothing to do with the devil.

But the way the religions have functioned in the world, they have changed its whole quality, the very fabric. "Instead of making it a Science of Integration". So that "man is not many, but 'ONE'...."

Ordinarily you are many, a crowd. To melt this crowd into one wholeness, so that everything in you starts functioning in harmony with everything else within you. And there is no conflict, no division, no fight - nobody higher, nobody lower... You are just harmonious whole.

"The religion around the world have helped humanity to forget even the meaning of the world".

My country like Malaysia or somewhere else, you can see mosques scattered everywhere all over the country. but integration has not happened yet. They just claim to be religious man, they are very childish. They pray five times a day... Thank GOD, but what are they doing between those five times? They are not thinking between those five times. So their thankfulness is just a ritual... It is not their life.

I have been observing all the Muslim, all over the world, in their sermon, every Friday always in their declaration they emphasized the fact again and again that you should love all human beings, you are all brothers.

And just saying, "You are brothers;" does not make it a reality.

If you, out there happen to be a Mohammedan (Muslim). Whether you are in Malaysia or elsewhere in this universe, "particularly, politicians..." You are the cause of all the friction, fragments.

The politicians are articulate, clever, cunning... Mostly coming from the legal profession. They are saying there should be no discrimination. Between races, religions, political ideologies, there should be no discrimination... Please note!

"And who is making the discrimination?"
These are the same people who are making the declaration.

It is a deception... It is not meant, what they are saying they don't mean.

It is just to give you an idea that you are Muslim, like my country Malaysia... On the surface it appear so many mosques, very religious, look very pious. Majority of the Muslim in Malaysia, they like politics... But they are rival among them. In their declaration it says:

"We are determined to eliminate all forms of intolerance and of discrimination based on religion or belief."

And this is not true, religions are fighting continuously. In Malaysia my country - They are all Muslims. You can see the politics behind it. It say Malaysia is a Muslim Country - But they are not integrated - All are facades to hide things.

These religious people, who get themselves involved in politics, they are very, very cunning people.
They don't want to be controversial, so they say only one things which you like or everybody is going to like... "They are not concerned with the actual situation, and the changes it needs."

"Their whole effort is in how to make you happy just by giving you bogus words."

Please remember!
"Nowhere in the world are any of the basic rights being applied."

As far as I am concerned, religion has not happened to the world yet.

Most of this people are not born with a conscience. Most of the so called religious man they don't understand what conscience is... They have learned only words. They are articulate, they can play with words, they can use beautiful words which influence everybody and hide the reality. A religious people who get themselves involved in politics, they look very diplomacy, beautiful name for all kinds of cunningness. It is a beautiful label for all that is ugly.

Diplomacy is simply an effort to dominate, it may be between persons, it may be between religions, it may be between countries - It does not matter. It is not only in politics, it is in our whole life.

If you happened to be a politicians diplomacy has entered into your blood:

When you see somebody and you feel; "Now my whole day is wasted; Seeing this bastard early in the morning is a perfect indication that something wrong is going to happen, some calamity is going to happen to me." (it is whispered in the heart). But you say to the man, "Hello! How are you? Glad to see you!" - That is diplomacy.

Diplomacy has entered into our blood. When you don't love your wife and pretend that you love her, it is diplomacy: When without any love, you hug your children, just because it has to be done - That is diplomacy.

Diplomacy is not only political, not any more - It has entered into every arena of life. And wherever it enters it brings pseudoness, falsity; It destroys authenticity, sincerity, honesty.

"It makes you say things which you don't mean, it makes you do things which you don't mean."

It makes you many instead of one; You become a crowd. You go on carrying many masks with you because you never know which mask will be needed in a certain situation.

And not only has man become diplomatic - even animals who live with man become diplomatic, dogs become diplomatic. Watch a dog.... A stranger comes to your house, knocks on the door. The dog starts two things;

He starts barking and at the same time he wags his tail. "This is diplomacy!" Because he is not certain whether the man who has knocked on the door is really a friend of the master or not - It is better to keep your feet in both the boats, then whatsoever turns out to be right you can withdraw from the wrong one. Then you come out of the house and the dog sees that the stranger is a friend; the barking stops and the tail continues to wag.

Man contaminates everything; even innocent people, even dogs are corrupted by human contact. You start teaching small children to be diplomatic. On the one hand you go telling them. "Be true, be sincere, be honest," and then one day a man comes to the door and you tell your son, "Go and say that daddy is out." Now the boy is puzzled, What to do?

"I am reminding to all religious person mainly Muslim in my country particularly Malaysia, no matter from which faction you are sided!"

Being a religions and pious person you has to stop all diplomacy. My advice is "you has to be authentic." Sincere, you has to be as you are, no pretensions, no false personalities, no facades;

"Just being utterly as you are, utterly in your reality."

Because it is our falsities which are like parasites on our being; they go on sucking our blood. The more falsities you create around yourself, the more miserable you become.

To live in falsities is to be in heaven. But humanity loves knowledge, information, it is very... ego satisfying. Whenever you can say that you know, whenever you can give some advice to somebody else, you feel very high. Not knowing who you are, not knowing where you are, you go on playing the role of the teacher.... of the guru!

Just look around - everybody is giving advice to everybody else. Of course, "nobody takes it," - and it is good that nobody takes it otherwise the world would be in much trouble... It is already in much trouble.

It is good that nobody takes your advice -

"Your advice is worthless; please note: In trouble, in crisis, you will not listen to your own advice. It is just a dead junk, it is nothing to do with your own inner growth."

In the whole world everybody is so knowledgeable, that you cannot find a single person in the whole country who can say; "I don't know." He is willing to give a discourse on God, on heaven and hell...

Ten thousand years knowledge has been gathering and being transferred from one generation to another generation, layer upon layer. Every mind has become so full of knowledge that nobody is ready to listen...

So the wise men said; "It is better just to be silent."
