All over the world, the military forces of all the countries are called
defensive armies. Then who is offending? Every country claims that its army is
an army for defending itself. Then who is offending?
We then call our God to our defence. Whoever has got a bigger army or more
powerful arsenal, his God become mightier.
With this approach we all lose. Understand clearly, no one’s God is better or
greater; all Gods are the same. All truths are the same. When we differentiate
between my God and your God, we are offending Divinity. Existence becomes our
enemy!
Imagine if the sun were to disappear one day, do you think you could be alive
without the rays of the sun? if the air were to disappear, can you survive? If
you are dependent for your very survival on the sun which is billions of miles
away from you, how can your boundary end where the physical boundary of your
body ends? Or where your tribe, or country ends?
Please be very clear: you are deeply related to Existence; one Existence; one
God.
Studies on cells in organisms establish that each cell can only act in one of
two ways at any given time. It can either focus on growth or it can focus on
self-protection. It cannot do both simultaneously.
A cell placed in a dish moves spontaneously towards a nutrient if it is placed
on another part of the same dish. If instead of the nutrient a toxin is placed
in the dish, the cell will move away from the toxin. If both the nutrient and
the toxin are placed at the same time in the dish, the cell is in dilemma.
When the mind body detects a threat, either external or internal, a series of
actions are initiated to divert the energy flow from growth centres to the limbs
for protection. As long as the threat remains, growth is sacrificed in favour of
protection. The mind body either fights or it flees the threat. When this
happens repeatedly, your body destroys itself.
Please be very clear: if you live with the attitude of enmity, even when you
live, you will be dying. When you live with the attitude of enmity with the
whole world, constantly, you will be tortured. When you live with the attitude
that Existence is your friend, and all who coexist with you are your own,
naturally, you will feel a deep sense of happiness.
