CHENNAI: It is an undeniable fact that every normal person wants to discover the meaning of his worldly existence and wants to know himself and the Creator and also the goal or purpose of his life, and it is this kind of study which, usually, goes by the name ‘religion or spiritual knowledge’. So, if we keep in mind this natural inquisitiveness of man, we will have to admit that it has truly been said that religion fulfils a great psychological need of man and that God is very much needed in man’s life for His qualities of truth, justice, love, kindness and uprightness and also because faith in Him gives man a feeling of security and sustenance in moral values. But, people are now really sick of religions which give man faith in imaginary, multitudinous man-gods and which tend to divide mankind into warring factions.
They want a religion that offers them one realistic, universal, loving and kind God who unites mankind and Who, though incorporeal, is a person with Whom they can have a living relationship as of a mother, father, friend, philosopher and guide. To date, thousands of religious heads have come on earth and preached about dharma but there never was more adharma in the world before than in the world we now live in. Why is it so? We must understand a fact that religious preceptors come in the world and shine their light of purity and goodness so that humanity’s faith in the Lord is restored or sustained.
Their teachings help people hold onto their belief in goodness and God. However, liberation and salvation, purification and world transformation, the establishment of dharma and destruction of evil are tasks done by Lord Himself when HE himself reincarnates at the end of the iron age. Hence, true seekers of truth should understand that God is supreme, omnipotent and omniscient. He is the creator and hence HE alone has the wisdom and power to redeem the whole creation to its original pure state. He is the Seed that emerges when world tree becomes old and the new tree has to come out. Thus, through HIS directly imparted wisdom the gates of liberation and salvation open up and that is why HE is known as the Purifier, Liberator and Guide. So, as wise children of ONE Lord, it is our duty to follow HIM to reach our final destination of the Golden Age.
