Christmas Satsang with H.H. Vishwaguruji
We search for the divine source while trapped in human conflict. Our spiritual root is Ālagpurījī, connected to the Kailāśa mountain, the kingdom of Śiva. There have been countless Yugas. Divine figures like Śiva manifested; they were not born. Yet in this Kali Yuga, many religions and interpretations arose. People fight over "my God" versus "your God," but no one has truly seen God. If God were seen in form, like Jesus, that form might be rejected or crucified. We divide the earth into countries and houses, forgetting our shared humanity. The soul journeys through many bodies, like coal becoming a diamond through immense pressure and time. Our spiritual practice is this purification. But human jealousy pulls down anyone who rises, like crocodiles in a tale. We cling to titles and differences, forgetting the soul is one. Scriptures are like injections to prevent bad behavior, yet we still fight. Truth alone wins. Hold to your inner truth against all temptation.
"Neither have you seen God, nor has anyone else seen God."
"Kṛṣṇa did not say it, Rāma did not say it, and Allāh did not say it. All, nobody said, but it is we who are doing this."
