The human mind has been naturally inclined and calibrated towards prejudice and
only a handful in humanity have attained or acquainted themselves with the
absolute antidote, one among them being Hariakhan Babaji Maharaj Babaji, the
Deathless Saint Of the Himalayas, who said thus:
Love and serve all humanity. Assist everyone.
Be cheerful, be courteous.
Be a dynamo of irrepressible happiness.
See God and good in every face.
There is no saint without a past.
There is no sinner without a future.
Praise every soul.
If you cannot praise someone, let them pass out of your life.
Be original. Be inventive.
Dare, dare and dare more.
Do not imitate. Stand on your own ground.
Do not lean on the borrowed staff of others.
Think your own thoughts. Be yourself.
All perfections and all virtues of the Deity are hidden inside you
reveal them.
The Savior is already within you
reveal Him.
Let His grace emancipate you. Let your life be that of a rose.
Through silence it speaks in the language of fragrance.
Dom Martin

<<<<Dear Selma:
I am also not denying your right to support any
organization be it the RC Church or the LTTE or the
Flat earth society or even Al-Qaida
If francis xavier lived in a different time so did
Manu
Is it also historically innaccurate to demonise him
for his deeds? What about Hitler? And please tell us
when does this different time business start? Btw Manu
and Hitler and many other perverts "truly believed" in
what they did ,Whats this "true belief" thingy?
The gist of ur argument about schools is well the
schools do it on bigger scale so its ok if the church
does too? Is that what u meant?
I am linking the Roman catholic church not the
christian religion because the Church is a
organization, with a leader and set of functionaries
who make rules and policies...Is that very difficult
to understand????
Well I "truly belive" most of the work done by the
church is done with motive to bring people closer to
Christ Also I beleive that when it comes to religious
intolerance genocides, fanaticism and spreading of
hatte against religious and sexual minorities the RC
Church is a far far worse evil than any RSS
organization.
These are my beliefs and I can provide facts to
support it If that offends you i cant help it
For clarity sake I will pose a set of questions for u
or anyone else who wishes to opine:
1.Do you believe that FX is a saint? Did he forcibly
convert hindus and asked for the horrible inquisition?
Is his behaviour compatible with the basic human
values of decency, tolerance and respect for others?
2. Does the catholic church accept the right of others
to follow their own belief system? In other words does
the Pope accept religious plurality or does he like
the taliban believe that only christ can provide
salvation and others will go to hell?
