There are two root causes for the entire chaos and terrorism in this
world. One is the thirst for earning money and the other is the
religious fanatic. Due to money, people are quarreling, hereas due
to religion, countries are quarreling. Unless these two root causes
are eradicated we cannot achieve world peace. The tree will not die
by cutting leaves and branches. It dies only by cutting its roots.
There is no use in earning the extra money. Due to excess money,
quarrels, mental worries and several other problems arise. Finally,
it ends in loss only and not in any profit. You have to leave all
this extra money here only and quit this world alone. Your issues
may lose that money given by you. Such sinful extra money brings
problems not only to you but also to your children. Neither yourself
nor your children will be happy and peaceful. This entire world is
the property of God and take whatever is required from it. This is
said in Gita, ("Yavanartha
.").
In these days, buffet system is followed during feasts. In this
system, large vessels contain various food items and people take
food from these vessels according to their requirement. Similarly,
God created this entire world and you can take the wealth from it
according to your requirement. People are not following the same
system when they are taking wealth from this world. The peculiarity
is that most rich people follow this buffet system in the feasts but
do not follow the same when it comes to earning the money. `Esavasya
Upanishad' says that one should return back this extra money to the
Lord. Otherwise, the Lord will give the troubles.
In buffet system, if one takes extra food in his plate by over
ambition and ignorance for a moment, he returns back immediately
before starting eating. Veda says that you must return back the
extra money for the God's work if taken by ignorance. In the buffet
system if you eat the extra food, you will suffer from diseases.
Similarly, if you enjoy the extra money, God will punish you in
several ways.
In this world, people belonging to any religion think that their
religion only is the true religion. They think that the God of their
religion can alone give the salvation and the worship of that God
should be according to their religion only. They also condemn other
religions and invite people to convert people into their religion.
They do lot of work to establish their religion only in the entire
world which shows their ambition. It is just like Alexander's
ambition to make the entire world his kingdom. Alexander wanted to
extend his kingdom. But, even he returned back after fighting with
Porus (Purushotama) on seeing the loss of life in the battle. But,
the ambition of religious fanatics is not subsided on seeing any
amount of loss of life. Religion is considered to be backed with
spiritual knowledge and the religious people are expected to be free
from ambition. We can excuse ambition of any ignorant person like
Alexander.
The heart of a religious fanatic will not change by any amount of
kindness or love expressed in the appeals. Such appeals can change
only the heart and the change in the heart is always temporary.
Change in the intelligence brought by knowledge based on logic is
always real and permanent. Intelligence (Buddhi) is considered to be
the driver of this body, which is like a chariot running by the
senses, which are like the horses. If the driver is convinced, the
entire chariot along with the horses is in the correct path. The
terrorist will not change by love or kindness shown to him. He
becomes the terrorist due to the wrong knowledge that enters his
brain. He was convinced by that knowledge. That knowledge can be
changed only by the right knowledge. A diamond can only be cut by
another diamond. Similarly, one type of knowledge can only be
replaced by another type of knowledge. Then only, he will be
convinced and changed forever.
So far, the trials made to change the terrorist were beating around
the bush and therefore, they did not have much effect. Today, SRI
GURU DATTA is giving the right knowledge to remove the religious
conservatism.
