96.

Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :

Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque


All Members,


Respected family members of this great holy Nation.


A.

No  doubt  in  all  religions  the  priest  class  has,  in  every  community,  a  special  niche  of  reverence  and  respect.

This  attitude  is,  no  doubt,  necessary  for  the  seekers  to  evolve  themselves.

Moral  perfection  cannot  be  acquired  by  mere  study.

They  have  to  be  constantly  assimilated  into  our  own  personality,  until,  instinctively,   we  come  to  live  them  in  all  our  contacts  with  the  outer  world.

 This  assimilation  is  possible  only  when  the  followers  can  steadily  watch  the  play  of  such  perfect  moral  values  in  the  living  behavior  and  conduct  of  their  teachers


B.

1. But  this  privilege  has  been  for  a  long  time  overemphasized  and  the  priests  in  every  religion  have  been  arrogating  to  themselves  more  and  more  divine  powers.

2. They  have  been  using  these  to  curb  the  intellectual  freedom  and  emotional  fluidity  of  their  respective  followers.

3.  This  has  already  done  more  harm  to  the  society  than  pure  atheism  or  vulgar  materialism  can  ever  hope  to  achieve  in  any  future  period  of  history.

Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6.

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
