Words from the Master

People are trained to be so fearful and respectful of God. They are never taught to love God. They are not allowed to touch the idols in the temples. They are expected to stand at a distance and bow down with reverence. They are taught to be wary of God. Understand: The first thing that children should be taught is that God is Love.

If you cannot embrace God, there is nothing left to embrace, because God is everything! When you teach your child that you cannot embrace God; you are actually teaching him that God is different from the rest. By putting God on a pedestal, you are actually alienating yourself from the whole of Existence. You are missing like anything!

Just have some social intelligence and play the game of respect in an intelligent way when required, that’s all. Mind you, this kind of respect will come along with deep awareness and intelligence. But it will not distract you from your center. It will not cause you to be less loving. It will merely be an act of intelligence, that’s all.
