The Satsang

Brahma sutra is not written for reconciliation. It is written for establishing the ultimate truth honestly logically systematically. In the world there are two kinds of religious thought trends. One kind of a ‘ehh....everything is one and the same…. it’s ok’; where some of the philosophers were afraid…. if we go to the depth maybe more violence, more fanaticism, more anger will be created among the people. So they try to kind of a patch up this so called secularism, universalism. All of them are result of people who try to patch up.

‘Everything is one and the same’…. ‘It’s ok’….. ‘You don’t need to be bothered too much about it’. Yesu Allah Shiva Krishna Rama Buddha - all are one and the same…..universalistic thoughts; where it is more or less like a trying to bring peace. But the problem with this philosophy, in the name of trying to bring peace they dull the research or practice of each tradition.

Please understand….. there is a huge problem. One side, the people who go in depth become fanatics, the other side people who try to bridge everybody become lunatics -means superficial. People who try to bridge everybody, universalism, they become too superficial. See all this so called jill jill gurus... there is no depth. They go on claiming everything is one and the same everything is one and the same. But one important thing all this universalistic philosophers have missed… Vedic tradition is one and only tradition even if you go to the depth you will not become violent, you will not become fanatic; because even in the core in the depth it is all about research. It is not about spreading.

Please understand all the religions which were created which happened outside Bharat had some components, some ideas; if it is practiced to its letter and spirit can lead to violence and fanaticism. So this idea of universalism and secularism happened in the west as a protection from these fanatics. See in the west one intellectual educated group evolved who are not able to tolerate the torture created by these fanatics. They want peace, they want rest. So they invented this theory of universalism and secularism. Understand they invented the theory of universalism and secularism.

In Bharat even people who go to the in depth and practice every scripture to the word and letter and spirit do not become violent, do not become fanatic, do not become terrorist. That is why I am saying Vedic tradition does not need secularism. Vedic tradition does not need this concept of everything is one and the same.

I tell you God Allah Krishna Buddha Yesu Shiva are all different. It is not one and the same. This idea of one and the same is created just to avoid the in depth study. Brahma sutras are not written, it is not created for pseudo universalism or pseudo secularism. It is created for research and development. It’s a pure science. It is a honest science.

Pure science is something which you need to explore without bothering about the effect and side effect of the invention. You just go behind it you don’t bother whether the side effect and after effect of your inventions or discoveries are going to doing good to you or bad to you. It is a research. What comes we will see after it comes. This pseudo secularism, pseudo universalism is the root cause of all the religious terrorism in the planet earth, all the religious wars in the planet earth. The real world peace can happen only by honest research and development.
