CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE,  BUT PRINCIPLES REMAIN

Unquestionable Dynamic Orientation

It has become a splendorous evidence throughout the World Congress of Man that more than mystical effusion and metaphysical conviction, the world needs synergetic co-operation, unselfish spiritual realization, social solidarity, moral UNITY, unbiased understanding, ennobling humanitarian idealism, and true Spiritual Communion . People may worship, believe, dress, eat, play and gather as they prefer, certainly, but above all this is the supreme Truth of Life which commands that the UNIVERSALITY of Mind and the dignity of Man are far more important than worldly conditions and passing events. In fact, if earthly realities are now so harsh and disrupting it is due, precisely, to the fact that people fail to live up to the genuine principles of life. Such ideals and doctrines as those which divide people and individual, and groups against each other, even when wondrously glorified, can only lead to confusion, tragedy, despair and chaos. This problem may be better sized up by the words of Dr. Gion Ghurmandor, Official Delegate of the Great Land Society of Mongolia, namely “the realities of the world are vicious and ghastly, because they are man made, that is made by men who ‘believe’ much but live little according to the eternal truths of life and the universe.  Instead of believing in what ‘God is claimed to have said’ , we should cater to God directly and constantly so that He/It may speak right here and now what is to be said. Considering that God, or the Universal Spirit is eternal and all - powerful, there is no positive motive, for having truth otherwise than in permanent transcending and unquestionable splendour”.

Prof. John Larks, Official Delegate of the Australasian Society of Good Neighborhood, Sydney, Australia, also president of the Movement of WORLD CITIZENS OF UNITED HUMANITY says this in other words which are equally commendable: “If we cannot love our neighbors, whether they be dark, yellow or bronze skinned, how can we claim to be spiritually guided and God inspired, or even respectable human beings? — It is not what we believe that really counts, but what we BE and how we LIVE, as the Illustrious sage Koot Hoomi Lal Singh teaches”.

Naturally, mystics, metaphysicians and theologians are right when they state that “God loves you , and wants you to be happy.  Believe and you shall be saved forever” . They are tremendously erring, however, when they fail to behave as they believe, when they indulge in sin and crime, or when they go to church and at the same time cuddle delinquents, glorify tyrants, love fiends, serve gangsters, and bless deceit, lust, and war, because Spiritual Truth and rugged materialism cannot mix.  People can choose either course, be either thing, but not an idealist and a vice-lord at the same time, a spiritualist and a warmonger at the same time, or a saint and a mad devil at the same time. Or can they?
