Words from the Master

Most of us pray with fear to God. You can see mothers telling their children that if they don’t do certain things, God will get angry with them. These statements take root in the child at a very young age, and give them a wrong concept of God. All these are the conditionings that you give to your child at an early age. When they grow up, they face serious dilemmas because of this. Instead of embracing Existence with love and gratitude, they stand apart from it with respect and fear.

Religion if followed out of fear will not take you anywhere; it will not pave the way for a transformation to happen in you. You might progress materially by the faith that you have in your asking, but you will remain where you are at the Being level. The purpose or real fulfillment of life can never happen in the material path; it can happen only at the Being level. People who undergo what is called depression of success will be able to relate to what I am saying, in a better way. We have discussed a lot about depression of success in the earlier sessions.

Religion has to be followed out of deep love and gratitude for the Divine or Existence. Although society teaches you to worship God in the name of fear, I tell you: Never do it. Always pray with love and gratitude towards the Divine.
