Friends, leaders of the human spiritual world, leaders of the human religious world,
We thank the organizers that such a wonderful occasion is here where the all can unit and serve the humanity.
Religion is religion only when it units, religion is no more religion when it divides. Religion is not for dividing people, it is for uniting people.
So much has been said about conversion, for conversion and against conversion. I am for, for conversion and not against conversion, but conversion not from one organized religion to another organized religion. No. Conversion from misery to happiness, conversion from bondage to liberation, conversion from cruelty to compassion. That is the conversion needed today, and that is what this organization should make a point to implement.
Our ancient country had not only given a message of peace and harmony to the world, to the humanity. Enlightened persons have given a method, a technique : how to have peace, how to have harmony. To me, to think of peace in the human society, we can not ignore individuals. If there is no peace in the mind of the individuals, I can't understand how can there is real peace in the human world.
If I have agitated mind, if I have mind all the time full of anger, hatred, ill will, animosity, how can I give peace to the world, because I have no peace myself, I am an agitated person, therefore the great enlightened persons have said : " First have peace within yourself ", so one had to observe where really there is peace in me or not.
All the sages and saints and ??? of the world have given this advise : " know thyself ", not merely at the intellectual level, not merely accepting at the emotional, devotional level, at the actual level. When you start experiencing the truth about yourself, within yourself, at the experiential level, many of the problems get solved.
You start understanding the universal law, universal law of the nature or universal law of the god of mighty, universal law which is applicable to one and all. When I start observing within myself, and I find that I am generating anger, hatred, ill will, animosity, I immediately realize that I am the first victim of my anger, I am the first victim of the hatred, animosity that I am generating within myself. Then only I start harming others, this law of nature.
If I observe within myself I find, as soon as I generate any negativity in the mind, there is a lot of physical reaction, my body start burning, heated up, palpitation, tension, I am a miserable person. And when I generate any negativity in me, I become miserable, I don’t give this misery limited to myself, I keep on throwing this misery on others. I make the entire atmosphere around me so tensed that anybody who comes in contact with me becomes miserable. And I talk of peace, I talk of happiness, people talking of happiness and peace, what is happening in me is more important to me than anything else, law of nature.
And if l'm free from these negativities, if my mind is free from negativities, mind is pure, again law of nature starts working, I observe within myself, at this moment there is no negativity in the mind and look the nature, or the god of mighty, had started rewarding me. I feel so peaceful, so peaceful. As when I generate negativity, I observe, I become so miserable.
So anyone belonging to this religion or that religion, this tradition or that tradition, this country or that country, when one breaks the law of the nature, one generates negativity in the mind, bound to suffer, the nature starts punishing this person, the hellfire within, one starts feeling the misery of hellfire within, this is the seed that I am sowing, the seed of hellfire within, alter that I will get nothing but hellfire, law of nature is such.
If I keep my mind pure, full of love, full of compassion, I enjoy the kingdom of heaven within myself. And this seed of kingdom of heaven will bring nothing but the fruit of kingdom of heaven after that, whether I call myself a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian or a Jaïn makes no difference, makes no difference, human being is human being, human mind is human mind.
Conversion should be from the impurity of the mind to purity of the mind. How people get changed, such wonderful changes come, no magic, no miracle it's pure science, observing the interaction of the mind and matter within ourselves. How mind keeps on influencing the matter, the body, how body keeps on influencing the mind. If we keep on observing, keep on observing, we understand the law of nature so clearly. That as and when I generate negativity, I start suffering, and as and when I am free from negativity, I start enjoying peace and harmony.
That can be practiced by one and all. A wonderful tradition, a wonderful technique given by the enlightened one in our ancient country, and spread in the world, even today people from different communities, different traditions, different religions they come and learn this technique, they get the same benefit, they continue to remain Hindu as Hindu, Buddhist as Buddhist, Muslim as Muslim, Christian as Christian, makes no difference, human being is human being what makes the difference? But a big difference comes they become real spiritual people, full of love, full of compassion, good for themselves, good for others. When I generate peace in my mind, the entire atmosphere around me gets permeated with the vibration of peace, anybody who comes in contact with me start enjoying peace, this is the real conversion which is necessary, nothing else.
Thank you.
I have heard the sound of the bell, but still permit me to read out a message of my ancient country which is inscribe on the rocks from 2300 years and gives a message to the entire human world. The message of the great emperor Ashoka an ideal emperor, how an emperor rules.
Now this message says :" One should not honour only one's own religion, and condemned other religions ", important message to the world of today, you keep on condemning others, people saying that mine is the best, mine is the best, you are creating difficulties for the human beings. Instead, one should honour other religions for various reasons. Every religions work the same, have got this core, the awesome core of love, compassion, goodwill, every religion give honour onto the religion because of this core, the outer shell always different, this rite, that ritual, this ceremony, that ceremony, this believe, that believe, don't quarrel on those. But whatever is inner, inner essence give importance to that and there will be no quarrel. " By so doing one helps one's own religion, to grow and also render service to the religions of others, in acting otherwise one digs the grave of one's own religion ", understand, big warning, " and harms others religions as well ", the message says, " someone who honours is own religion and condemns other religions may do so, out of devotion to his religion, thinking I will glorify my religion, but his actions injury his own religion, more gravely ". Now a message, let all listen, the message of Dharma, the message of the universal law : "Concord is good", it is only concord which helps us, not the quarrel, "let all be willing to listen to the doctrine prophase by the others", don't condemn anything, give importance to the essence of the teaching of every religion and there will be real peace, real harmony.
