A Strange Kind Of World.
People all over the world strive to acquire power by accumulating. Wealth, authority or knowledge, but unfortunately, along with these, the insidious evil of egoism is also being accumulated. So man is fast becoming the enemy of mankind, he is fast losing humanity itself.
He becomes less of man and more and more of demon. Man prefers the short cut, the more comfortable and attractive material path and he suffers in despair, fear and hatred. Egoism is the root and crown of evil thoughts and tendencies.
Our country (or any other country, for that matter) can be saved not by political manipulations or military alliances, but only through the development of the consciousness in each one, spiritual science alone can cure him and save the world. Instead of trying to expend over the whole globe and universe.
Man should try to probe into his own inner world and remove the junk therein and set at rest the evil urges that raise their hoods there. World peace and prosperity can be accomplished only by such explores and pioneers. Please imbibe!
"Do not preach; but practice."
In politics, in the field of administration, in school and colleges, in spiritual institutions everywhere, we have a surfeit of preachers but a famine of practitioners.
Heroes on platforms prove themselves zeros when they deemed to the ground. So leaders of the world, there for, demonstrate in your own lives, how love can confer peace and joy, how all faiths lead to the same goal, how all men are brothers of one another.
We have in this country or any other country, plenty of scientist, scholars, spiritual teachers and seasoned politicians... But of what avail?
They work at cross-purposes, each one, unconcerned with the rest. One scientist is the rival of another one scholar is at logger heads with another expert in the same field. And of politicians is also at logger heads in the same arena.
My massage to all politicians... The less said the better. Please remember! When this vice of disunity rules, peace and prosperity can never be established in the country and all over the world in spite of all the progress in technology.
They can be developed only when mutual cooperation, friendly feeling, love and compassion grow in man's heart. The world can shine fresh and fair, green and grand, with festoons and flags on every doorstep only when these qualities are fostered by man.
Living has become very artificial. Men are moving in blind fear, not knowing what might happen to them at the next step. Men today inventing and testing weapons which can wipe out millions and injure even coming generations. But you feel proud of man's intelligence and cleverness! Some people even admire such inventors!
The world is full of people who suffer from insanity. Today we talk about peace in the world. How can that peace be found? How can you find peace in a world which is in "pieces"? Holding the atom bomb in one hand, is there any meaning in talking about peace? When you are haunted by fear how can you have peace?
Now the cry from the heart of everyone is for peace. Peace is what everyone seeks, please remember man is the synthesis of all the feelings, emotions and reactions that arise in his mind. The mind is the seat of all urges, desires and thoughts. When the mind is clean the world, recognized by it will also be clean. When the mind is turbid and riddled with fear, the world will appear miserable and depressing.
Many people blame the world, without knowing that the fault lies in themselves. Their thinking is crooked, their thought are not wholesome, their minds are restless; because they are too full of unfulfilled desires. Rich or poor, educated or uneducated, high or low, they see the world through the glasses of their own prejudices and predilections and they condemn or extol it in order to please themselves!
Seeing the advances made in science and technology, you have lost balance. Man has learned to walk on the moon, to live in the depths of the ocean, to penetrate into the deepest crusts of earth and let other men too to live on the surface of the earth. How can man achieve happiness and peace of mind, flying high or swimming deep? He has to carry his troubles and worries, fears and failings with him to those places also.
This is a tragedy; it is like the man who closed his eyes and stumbled along in the darkness. Now the wave of anxiety spreading over the world, the world today is like a garden with no water, a school with no teacher, overcome by inner foes, how can man succeed in over whelming the outer foes?
The world leader gather in Peace Conferences in order to plan wars. He ignores the principle of love that is the life- blood of the human community. He denies himself the boon of peace and rushes towards destruction. Destroying others... He destroys himself.
Everywhere there is dark cloud of anxiety, fear, discontent and agony, disturbing the rich as well as the poor nations of the world. Please remember the prosperity of the world does not descend from the sky. Nor does it emerge of its own accord from the earth.
We should recognize the world does not mean just the lifeless soil around us. The world consists of a conglomeration of people and it is what they make of it. To rectify the world and put it on proper path. we have to first rectify ourselves and our conduct.
If there is righteousness in the heart,
There will beauty in character;
When there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
So, be righteous. Avoid all prejudices against others on the basis of caste, creed, colour, status or degree of affluence.

MERDEKA - The Nation Belongs To All
In a nation it is the duty of every citizen to assimilate and appreciate the historical and cultural back ground of his nation.
Malaysia is a sacred and glorious country, it is our good fortune to be born in this land. You should realize the truth of the saying:
"As you sow, so shall you reap."
Hence all actions should be pure and noble and such as would promote the well-being of the nation and give you joy.
The nation belongs to all. This truth should not forgotten. People must stand up for truth. There is nothing greater than truth. All must protect the honour of the nation. They should be united. "Let us all live and strive together in harmony." If only this spirit prevails the nation will shine in all its glory.
There must be, however, a transformation in the minds of the people. There is no use in changes in external forms. Qualities must changes. There must be a change in the way of thinking.
Only then the change will be to the lasting good of the country. Envy and egoism are animal qualities. The qualities which every human being should have are peace, compassion, forbearance, love and sacrifice. These are the qualities that should be developed in all people, not vices like hatred, greed, envy, pride and others. Cultivate the feeling of love. Get rid of old prejudices and differences. Only then the nation can make all-round progress.
Before I conclude I call upon all Malaysian, forget all your differences and come together, develop genuine fraternal feelings and eschew separatist tendencies. Uphold the reputation of the nation.
Every effort should be made to raise the reputation of the country. Consider this year Merdeka function as auspicious beginning for transformation of the nation.
I bless you all Malaysian - "MERDEKA."

'AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP'
The results of our work will depend on what we do. If we do something good, the result will be good, if we do something bad, the result will be likewise.
In this world it is impossible to make use of anything without it in one way or the other to make it useful.
There is a proverb which says: "If the whole village unites; the entire farm can be harvested."
With unity,any work can be accomplished. You must strive to promote unity. You must fraternize with the villagers and demonstrate your awareness. You should not get entangled in local politics.
Political differences have entered the villages and ruined community life in the rural areas. You should tell the villages: "Every individual can have his own political views. But these should not effect the welfare of the village as whole."
In matters concerning the progress and well-being of the village, all the villagers should act as one regardless of party differences. You may support any party of your choice. But this should not affect your attitude to matters concerning the development of the village. All of you should act unitedly, as the foundation, hidden in the ground, is the base on which the structure has been raised. Moral and spiritual values have to be honoured as much if not more than economic and material values. Life must be a harmonious blend of these values with emphasis on moral strength.
If you neglect the roots, how can you harvest the fruits?

All political leaders no matter ruling or opposition party. The future of our country is dependent on what you do in the present... Your actions in the present will determine the shape of things in the future. If you wish to secure a great future, you have to conduct yourselves in the present in an ideal and sacred manner.
These may be differences and problems of various kinds among you as individuals. But setting them aside, you should concentrate on the promotion of national well-being. Regard the nation's welfare as your welfare.
Entertain the sacred feeling that the nation's good is your good. There can be no nobler feeling than this for human being, please remember1
"The true mark of a human being is the cultivation of a broad outlook."
When everybody have such a vision, then only you can transform the national scene. This has to be remembered very deeply:
The nation's welfare depends on the individual.
The individual's welfare depends on the family.
The welfare of the family is bound up with the condition of the village and so on up to the national level.
At the base of all is the individual... That is you, no matter who you are. And only when all the individuals in a community act in unison can the country progress.
Unity is, therefore, the essential means for accomplishing anything. There should be no place for factions.
Today there are many factions and rival groups, we should see that there is no room for these divisive forces, in every village there are several factions. This is not good at all.
Please Bear in mind. The man who does not feel that this is his Motherland and has no love for his country is a 'soulless corpse'.
Every citizen should feel proud of his country and feel himself one with everyone else. We must strive our best to promote such a sense of unity.
Every men have both duties and rights, but today they are more concerned about... Rights than duties. Today every citizen appears to be house divided. There is no unity. Remember this:
If the five fingers in a hand do not function in unity, the hand will be useless.
Unfortunately the nation today is affected by the consequences of grievous sin such as business without morality, politics without principle, education without character and wealth without hard work.
The country will regain prosperity and peace only when all these are banished and if we have morality in business, principles in politics, educated men who have character and work the basis of wealth.
The mansion of man's life should be built on these virtues. But unfortunately today morality and integrity have declined and the spirit of sacrifice is on the wane. Because these qualities are lacking among the nation is suffering from disorders and violence. Although these statements may not be quite palatable to anybody to hear, they should realize what the public feel about the present situation.

REMINDER TO ALL THE POLITICIANS OF THE COUNTRY! WHEN THE FOUNDATION UNDER YOUR FEET IS SHAKY,HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BUILD UP THE MANSION OF LIFE?
If an individual has to progress, or a village has to develop or a nation has to be prosperous, social consciousness and the sense of unity are essential. Unity protects man. Disunity makes man a prey to worries of all kinds. To all politicians please remember!
"Union is strength, with unity anything can be achieved. Like ants which collectively can destroy even a python."
This adage proclaims that there is no greater strength than that derived from unity.
When we recall the past history of our country, we find that various invaders... The Portuguese and British - overran the country and tried to change the culture and institutions of the country. The nation did not lack men of valour or eminent political leaders.
Freedom was achieved... But did not unity. This is because of the eclipse of an all embracing vision. Parochial fanaticism, caste and religious dissensions and selfish and self-centred ambitions have combined to degrade human qualities to their nadir.
Another potent factor responsible for the moral decline of our leaders, primarily politicians in the country is the absence of a feeling of national oneness.
The situation in the country today demands that all should unite as brothers to strive for the progress, the prosperity and the well-being of the nation. This means that in the interests of the nation and society, four things are essential: Equality, Unity, Co-operation and Fraternity. If anyone of these is absent the national edifice will collapse. Hence, the people should cherish equality and unity.
The term "Man" is derived from the term "Mind". Mind means an aggregation of thoughts. And thoughts account for the joy and sorrows experienced in daily life. Hence, it is only when the mind is filled with pure thoughts that human existence becomes meaningful.
Can a person obsessed with power have a pure heart? No. Hence, all the Y.B's should become the servants of the public. The servants of the public are like a bridge between the Government and the people. It is only when this bridge is safe and sound that there can be good relations between the Government and the people.
When we speak about leaders of the country, means one who has no antipathy towards anyone in the village. he is one who treats all alike. It is only when such terms are understood properly and people act accordingly that a person leads a meaningful existence.
Today the situation is reversed. Please remember! The well-being of the villages determines the well-being of the nation. By providing the essential amenities for the people in the villages, promoting mutual cooperation amongst them and developing fraternal feelings among them, the progress of the village has to be ensured. At the individual level, there may be differences. But these should be set aside and all efforts concentrated on the development of the village as a whole.
When rain falls from the sky, the rain water is totally pure. But depending on the nature of the place where it falls, the name and form of the water become various. Likewise there may be diversity among men on account of regional and other factors, but the historical reasons for this diversity will have to be borne in mind.
To be continued... Please follow

Continue From The Same Topic :- HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANY ANIMAL TURNING INTO A POLITICIAN
So on the 'instinctive' level politics is just "might is right". The law of jungle... Please discriminate between:
'instinctive level' and 'intuition level'. Intuition level are intelligent people.
So on the instinctive level politics is just: "might is right".
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mussolini, Bonaparte, Alexander, Tamerlane... All these people are more like wolves than human beings.
If we want a real humanity in the world, we should cross out these people's names completely. We should forget that these people have existed. They were just nightmares. But strangely, the whole of history is full of all these people... Like Bush and Blaire. Do you know what is history?
Just cuttings from newspapers of yesterday and ancient times. If you go on helping somebody, no newspaper is going to publish the story, you go on killing somebody and all the newspaper are full of it. And what is your history about except these people who have been a nuisance, who have left wounds on human consciousness? This you call history? Another words... You have only this garbage in your mind. So on the ...'Intuitive level' there is no politics at all... There is no fight at all, at the intuitive level.
Not a desire to prove oneself superior... No longer a personal quarrel... And truth is nobody's property. There is no question of enmity... It is an art of practical politics. Remember! It is not a question of personal enmity. If it is personal, you are already primed to be defeated because it is based in ego.
"You are bound to fall to the lower level".
In the political art... It is not the person, it is the art that proves the winner. Being a politicians not even a single moment should you remember yourself and your victory, because that will be the moment of your defeat.
Nobody can understand except one who has understood the whole tradition of non-egoistic rival... Then nobody wins.
There is no fight at all at the intuitive level.
The politician on the 'instinct level' is just a wild animal. He does not believe in anything except being victorious. Whatever means are needed to be victorious, he will use... The end justifies all his means, however ugly there are:
"Means don't matter: What matter is the end, if you succeed, whatever you have done is right, if you fail, whatever you have done is wrong."
But still, somewhere in the name of 'Truth'... A little politics is lurking behind the scenes. Otherwise, what is the need even to challenge? What is the point of going around the whole country...If you know the truth, people will choose you and will come to you... Whoever was thirsty will come to you.
"Politicians with stupid mind thinks only in terms of possessions. The man of insight thinks of utility".
The insight should come from the intuitive person. But the insight can only be understood by the intelligent... Not intellectual. And the intelligent can help the politicians of instinct, for whom the only desire is power.
This I call...'Meritocracy', because the ultimate merit dominates and influences the lower rung and helps them to rise above their level. It has no vested interest, and because it has no vested interest, it is free and its insight is clear.
It will be very difficult for the intuitive person to explain anything to the.. 'Instinctive' person because they are so far apart, belonging to two different dimensions without any bridge. In the middle, the intellectual can be of immense help.
The universities, the colleges, the school, should not only teach Political Science... It is such a stupid idea to teach Political Science!.. Teach Political Science but also teach Political Art, because Science is of no use, you have to teach Practical Politics.
And those professors in the universities should prepare politicians, give them certain qualities. Then the people who are ruling now all over the world will be nowhere at all.
Then you will find rulers well trained, cultured, knowing the Art and Science of Politics and always ready to go to the professors, to the scholars. And slowly it may be possible that they can approach the highest level of meritocracy... The intuitive people.
If this is possible, then we will have, for the first time, something that is really human... Giving dignity to humanity, integrity to individuals.
The first time you will have some real democracy, in the world. What exists now all over the world as democracy is not democracy... It is 'mobocracy' or 'hypocrisy'.

REMINDER TO ALL POLITICIANS OF THE COUNTRY!
WHEN THE FOUNDATION UNDER YOUR FEET IS SHAKY, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO BUILD UP THE MANSION OF LIFE?
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANY ANIMAL TURNING INTO A POLITICIAN?
Remember! We are fulfilling our egos in every way possible - gross or subtle, direct or indirect.
Down the centuries, in three thousand years, there have been thousand wars. No, no animal is so ignoble, animal have a natural nobility. But man is very cunning.
Does mankind is the most noble? Why is mankind the most noble? If we look at human history, mankind seems to be the most ignoble. Look at the animals; they have not been so violent, so murderous; they have not been so insane. Have you ever seen any animal turning into a politician?...Trying to become the head of the country or a premier? They are not insane, they live naturally, they die naturally, animals in the wild never go mad. Sometimes they go mad when they are forced to live in a zoo.
Yes, they kill, but they kill only when they want to eat. Man kills, for no reason. A man goes to the wild and kills a tiger and he says "This is play. This is game. I was hunting." Have you ever heard of any tiger hunting? They never hunt. When a tiger is hungry, of course he kills, and that's a natural way for him.
When animals are hungry they kill, but they don't kill as game. They don't kill for fun, they are not interested in killing in itself. Of course they are interested in food, nothing is wrong in it; man kills for no reason. Animals don't kill for ideologies, they don't say, "I am a Communist and you are Capitalist. I will kill you." They don't say, "I am a Fascist and you are a Communist, so I will kill you." They don't have any ideologies, and they don't kill because they are Hindus, Mohammedans and Christians.
Man kills for any excuse, for any excuse what so ever. And for what? For abstract doctrines, principles - and nobody is ready to live for those doctrines and everybody is ready to kills others for those same doctrines. But if somebody insults the Quran or Bible? He will say, "It is very difficult." He is not interested in living it, nobody is interested in living it. But if it comes to killing then everybody much interested.
People begin to slaughter one another, and they go on slaughtering for thousand of years. It seems to them at the time that they hate one another; or perhaps that they have to slaughter each other for some exalted purpose; or that they must defend somebody or something and that it is very noble thing to do; or something else of the same kind. They fail to realize to what an extent they are mere pawns in the game. They think they signify something, they think they can decide to this or that...
People are afraid of one another and what are they suffering from? First of all from an extraordinary opinion of themselves.
Dear readers!
The world of politics is basically of the instinctive level. It belongs to the law of the jungle; might is right. And the people who get interested in politics are the most mediocre... Please remember!
Politics needs no other qualification except one: That is, a deep feeling of inferiority. Politics can be reduced almost into a mathematical maxim:
'Politic means will to power'.
Will to power expresses itself in many ways. So you have to understand by 'politics' not only that is known by the name. Wherever somebody is trying a power number; it is politics. It does not matter whether it relates whether to the state, the government, and matter like that...
To me, the word politics is much more comprehensive than is generally understood.
It is simple to be a politician. One not only concerned with government, the state and connected affairs... Any power trip makes you a politician... Such as:
The husband trying to be superior to the wife... It is politics.
The wife trying to be superior to the husband... Because the wife simply cannot accept the idea. Even though for millions of years she has been conditioned. She finds ways to sabotage it.
Every husband is henpecked, there is no other category of husband. But why? Why has this ugly situation arisen?..
Because... There is a male form of politics... There is a female form of politics... Both are trying to be on top of each other in every other area, for example in university.
The lecturer wants to be the reader, the reader wants to be the professor, the professor wants to be the dean, the dean wants to be the vice-chancellor... A constant struggle for power. At least one would think it should not be so in education. But nobody is interested in education... Everybody is interested in power.
In religion it is the same:
Everybody is on a ladder trying to climb higher, and others are pulling him down by the legs. Those who are higher are trying to push him so that he cannot rise up to their level.
And the same is being done to those who are on a lower rung of the ladder, some are pulling on their legs, others are kicking and hitting them to keep them down as low as possible.
The whole ladder, if you see it just as an observer... Is a circus. This is happening all around... Everywhere. So to me, politics means an effort:
To prove yourself superior... But why?
Because you feel, deep down, inferior. And please remember!
The man of instinct is bound to feel inferior... He is inferior. It is not an 'inferiority complex', it is a fact, a reality... He is inferior. Please bear in mind:
To live the life of instinct is to live at the lowest possible level of life.
If you understand the struggle, the fight for being superior, you drop out of the fighting... You simple say, "I am myself, neither superior nor inferior." If you just stand by the side and watch the whole show, you have entered into the second world... The world of intelligence and consciousness.
It is only a question of understanding the whole rotten situation in which everybody is caught. You have just to give a little patient observation to the whole situation:
What is happening? And even if I reach to the highest rung of the ladder, what is the point? You are just hung up in the sky looking like a fool... There is nowhere else to go. Of course, You cannot come down because people will start joking about you: "Where are you going? What happened? Are you defeated? You cannot come down and you cannot go anywhere else because there is no step higher. So you are hung up in the sky pretending that you have arrived, that you have found the goal of life. And you know that you have not found anything."
You have simply been a fool and your whole life is wasted. Now there is no way to go up, and if you go down, then everybody is going to laugh. So...
Anybody who becomes a president of a country... A leader of any associations, institutions... etc:
"His only prayer is that he should die at his post".
Because lower you cannot go... That is insulting... Humiliating and there is no way to go higher. You are stuck only death can release you from the dilemma.
Man is trying... continuously trying in every possible way to be somebody higher, special, superior.. But this is all politics.
An according to me... The intelligent people have something more important to do. The intelligent people cannot waste itself in struggling... With third class, ugly politics, dirty politics. An intelligent person is not going to be distracted by such a desert, which leads nowhere, not even to an oasis.

Down the centuries, in three thousand years, there have been thousand wars. No, no animal is so ignoble, animal have a natural nobility. But man is very cunning.
Does mankind is the most noble? Why is mankind the most noble? If we look at human history, mankind seems to be the most ignoble. Look at the animals; they have not been so violent, so murderous; they have not been so insane. Have you ever seen any animal turning into a politician?...Trying to become the head of the country or a premier? They are not insane, they live naturally, they die naturally, animals in the wild never go mad. Sometimes they go mad when they are forced to live in a zoo.
Yes, they kill, but they kill only when they want to eat. Man kills, for no reason. A man goes to the wild and kills a tiger and he says "This is play. This is game. I was hunting." Have you ever heard of any tiger hunting? They never hunt. When a tiger is hungry, of course he kills, and that's a natural way for him.
When animals are hungry they kill, but they don't kill as game. They don't kill for fun, they are not interested in killing in itself. Of course they are interested in food, nothing is wrong in it; man kills for no reason. Animals don't kill for ideologies, they don't say, "I am a Communist and you are Capitalist. I will kill you." They don't say, "I am a Fascist and you are a Communist, so I will kill you." They don't have any ideologies, and they don't kill because they are Hindus, Mohammedans and Christians.
Man kills for any excuse, for any excuse what so ever. And for what? For abstract doctrines, principles - and nobody is ready to live for those doctrines and everybody is ready to kills others for those same doctrines. But if somebody insults the Quran or Bible? He will say, "It is very difficult." He is not interested in living it, nobody is interested in living it. But if it comes to killing then everybody much interested.
People begin to slaughter one another, and they go on slaughtering for thousand of years. It seems to them at the time that they hate one another; or perhaps that they have to slaughter each other for some exalted purpose; or that they must defend somebody or something and that it is very noble thing to do; or something else of the same kind. They fail to realize to what an extent they are mere pawns in the game. They think they signify something, they think they can decide to this or that...
