frequently we come across people in society who've got a knowledge of the
religion or religious books and they're fixed or fixated on the old ways of things
as prescribed in these books but they're not necessarily appropriate for today's agent time
okay so what annoys you about these people who are fixated on the old things yes again you see this
is a sign of stodginess inertia tamas our society look with holidays i'm saying our society has this
problem we have tremendous inertia the mass in our system that is why it's difficult for us to
have to drag more than hindu thinking extras from very antiquated vision to modern vision i struggle
but i keep doing it day and night why is it so important look i'll give you an example you see
suppose you know the stories of ramayana and story of mahabharata because this wonderful character
is called ramen krishna wonderful i have no complaints of marvelous characters but don't you
recognize that over thousands of years as these stories have been told and retold again and again
these characters have been polished up they've been polished to a really perfection so they
look so pristine and pure and perfection in every sense yes we think the ultimate the the spiritual
kind of you know masters should look like that or should i play with four arms and you know all the
chakras and all that so we are fixated on the old we have kind of polarized it and polished it very
highly over thousands of years so we can't see them as ordinary human we see them as completely
you know highly idealistic vision of humanity so we are fixated on this i don't blame you
because you already in a way polarize your idea of spirituality or say ram or krishna wonderful
i'm no problem but i'm simply saying remember over thousands of years we have really polished
up their image to an incredible level so we see them as real super personalities doing
magic and miracles and all that yeah we love all that now you see suppose you find a modern
giant a spiritual giant he doesn't exhibit any of those i'll give you one example cutting example
it's ramal maharshi okay look i'm not here to promote ramana maharishi you know cult movement
or something but here is a marvelous spiritual giant for our times does he have four arms does
he have a huge movement kind of beating drum at his doorstep does he do magic and miracles nothing
yet he's as masterful as any of the ancient prophets but because he doesn't have this
kind of polished image and he will love this polished image they can't relate to him so they
kind of bypass him they completely ignore him this is frightening really ignore him
there are some hindus you know you know kind of trumped up you know for the modern gurus
who will pass very demeaning very kind of you know belittling comments about people like ramana moshe
go here inside coming everybody this guy was fully charged he couldn't even experience his
body so insecure kind of living off him this shows the sign of his true spiritual giant
instead of appreciating this they say oh here the insect coming out with birdies we don't want to do
it now this cannot be meaning and kind of you know harsh comments you know a trivializing comment
about this great masters of modern times is very upsetting for me i find it highly offensive
so because we are fixed set in the old we think they almost have forearms and maybe the chakra
and gada and all these kind of wonderful colors and all then only they are superhuman
more than superhuman sitting in front of our eyes we can't appreciate we can't really value why
stojiness we can't move from the old to the new these new ones are for us much more suited for
our own time they talk in our own language in our own times when they're equally charged up equal
superhuman i'm telling you super personalities they don't do magic they don't need to do magic
it's a digression so here you see them and yet they are not valued why stojiness they don't like
like look like krishna and they don't have the miraculous part of krishna they don't need it they
are the the best way to show miracles is not to produce any miracles and these are the masterful
personalities of modern times yet because we are stoji we are kind of stuck with in the rut
and this is like a drawback it shows a tremendous inertia we are not able we are evolving living
religion and yet we don't want to show our living dimension we want to be dead oh this happened 5000
years ago we must hang on to it and you must find proof of this look there's a guy sitting in front
of your eyes and you say no ignore him go let's go 5000 back and do some digs this is our problem
you
