Ambrosial Teachings - I
One Supreme Power: This world is the manisfestation of one great power alone. Great men in different ages have lived their lives as an example to lead suffering humanity towards the path of truth. The noble principles expounded by them later acquire the form of rituals. The salvation of man doesn't lie in donning different garbs. For inner purification it is not necessary to put on a dhoti, wear sacred thread, possess long hair or shave off head. Lasting peace comes Following the principles of truth set out by saints. Leaders of all faiths have been recommending only two ways: one is selfless work and the second is devotion to One Great Power. This is also the path of freedom from ego. When the ego (pride) is worn out with the practice of meditation, then the person then the person himself becomes God. There is a persian saying:
Man tu shudam tu man shudi--man tan shudam tu jan shudi
Ta kas na goyad bad azi--man diagram tu deegari
(I have become you, you have become me, I am the body you the soul; so that no one should be able to say later that u and I are different)
God Worship: The biggest mistake is to consider oneself as separate or of Superior religion . Every religion leads to the knowledge of same Truth Eternel. Real God worship is to see that One Supreme Creator in everything and to find Him present everywhere. He is notconfined to a mere temple or a mosque. These are only places of worship. The purpose of reading holy books like Vedas and Quoran or any other is to bring truthfulness and purity within us. To recognise the One Truth by getting rid of the feelings of hatred and jealousy. By breaking the shakles of religion one should understand that One limitless Power with whose grace all living, from man to an ant, are moving about. To overcome one's ego and realise His influence everywhere. Only then can one enlightened about the life source present in this body.
Worship of The One: Every human being is caught up in desire, action and hope. Only way of release from this prison is God Worship. The trap of desires will continue as long as one is caught up in decorating the body. One will notbe able to turn away from idol worship. Whether Hindu, Muslim, Parsi or any other, can be termed theist only when one sets out in search of the soul of life. Man acts under the influence of desires. The resulting gain or loss keeps him always worried. Real joy is in carrying out the teachings of saints and masters. Nothing can be gained from worshipping their body or their image.
The real idol worship: If you must worship the manifest, then serve with both body and mind these living and moving "images"(people). Never harm anyone with mind, word or action. Feed the hungry, clothe the naked and help the orphan and other unfortunates in whatever way you can. Do not kill living beings to satisfy the taste of your tongue. If you follow these precepts, then you would have perormed real idol-worship.
The Material and Spiritual Search: The deepest research into materials does not give real satisfaction. This one can obtain only through research into spiritual life or source of life. No race or country can progress in real terms by increasing desires and comforts, unless together with it there is a research into the spiritual realm. One should firmly understand that increasing of needs leads to destruction.
Man tu shudam tu man shudi--man tan shudam tu jan shudi
Ta kas na goyad bad azi--man diagram tu deegari
