I share the frustration of MMI and Thorne...it is coming out of sincere hearts, though just in a subtle different way. This universe is amazing...and human being the most in it...the only one who likes to claim s/he knows the best even though deep down knows that it is not true. Psychologists have developed innumerable experiments, if you wish to be part of them; you may end up questioning the very authenticity of reality. There was a time when for more then four years in my prime, I also questioned my faith. I researched and met many “experts” from different faiths. Eventually I found one... but did I hold on to it? No I lost my path...no I let myself lose it…

Let me narrate you a short experience, shared with one of my early mentors, in Tibet (1979) at a foothill we assembled, when an American tourist approached us with his guide. He was offered tea and he gladly accepted it. As he sipped he saw an approaching monk with two empty buckets in his hands. He asked the monk (through his guide) where he is coming from and where he is heading. The monk replied, from the top of the mountain we see behind him and going across the mountain we see ahead of him to collect water for his master and himself. “How long does it take you to do this?” asked the tourist, “from one dawn to another”, replied the monk. American said, “you are wasting your life why don’t you borrow our technology, lay a pipe line and a generator, and with a flick of a button you will get water up right there where you are”. Monk was surprised, and said he will not say that he (American) was a liar but he need to consult his master. The monk closed his eyes and after a while looking at the tourist said, "my master says you are right, but we do not need your technology, for with it will come by default the evils like greed, hate, and much more which will destroy our social fabric. We are better off without it this way the cost of your comforts are too high", and saying that the monk left. Finishing the tea the American asked us, was he (the monk) sane? He (American) was asked why he said so. “He did not use any wireless or any thing, how could he talked with his master up there?” was his question. None of us replied for he would have not understood as at that moment he had closed his reasoning windows (became defensive) and portrait a picture of someone who wants to tell others, he knows better – it would have been foolish to explain him any thing at that time which he had no knowledge about.

To me, Buddha was probably the only one apart from the prophets, in recent times who understood the nature’s forces and mechanism and how to control it. What can be done materially can also be done spiritually. My friends there in Tibet did not need heaters or air-conditions, or mobile gadgets, they could do without them and very well. If over a billion Muslim believe their Prophet travelled on Burrak many times faster then the speed of light, some day science will reach there too. If nearly three billion Christian and Muslims believe that Jesus cured people without any surgery with the wave of his hand, science will eventually be there (limited lazer surgeries are there!). If over 3 billion Jews, Christians and Muslims believe that Moses split the sea and walked through it, time will come that some sort of material mechanism will help do the same (in a way building dams are an example!)

I can keep going…but for whom? Let me finish here by saying that the creator has created every thing dependent. The food we eat comes from the efforts of so many that we cannot imagine (who planted the seed, what natural forces reacted (do you know about 350 worms interact to enrich 500 gram of soil at some places?), what human efforts got involved to produced, who cultivated, prepared, processed, packed exported to be eaten by ultimately whom?). A chain reaction…the injustice you talk about is brought upon by not one person, but by a chain of reaction of so many who contributed directly and indirectly in it. Till the entire chain commits to change we cannot bring end to this injustice. The creator has created a universe and set forces to play their role till what time, I do not know? But forces have their determined paths, they change only when they are forced, they have no capacity to change on their own, only human have. Yes, humans are the only one (I think) who have also the capacity to reach a level where they can readjust these forces changed by some of their ignorant fellow "genius" beings. How? It’s a long path and not a comfortable one; I see no prophet spending life in a 7 star hotels, did they? Many will recall some one crying on the cross uttering "Eliah Eliah, why have you left me alone?". These hardships are rewarded in the way I am still unable to comprehend...yes, I do not have the capacity!

Would you go today and tell Harvard or MIT or Stanford to issue you PhD without passing through their system and on top of it let you hold discussion with their post-doctorate research fellows or teach there and change their system? No, for you will be wasting their time - you do not have the capacity, you must abide by their rules and regulations first to eventually have the capcity to understand what you are saying…same here, if entire humanity chain does not unite to bring change, then alone you must pass through the process suggested by the prophets only then you will be successful in their way. Yes then for your limited earthy life you will be able to intervene and save some! For sure if you do you will be my hero!

The Creator is there, he does not need us to survive, we are insignificant in our present state in the whole universe. No matter how hard we wish the Creator to behave the way we want him to behave, HE has HIS own ways…the ways of the Creator not of humans…we have no capacity till we graduate and reach there, to understand, know and bring change. If we try and do without ‘graduation’, we may still be able to, but we will only make a fool of ourselves - in the words of the famous 16th century Indian Tribal Chief that he wrote to the Governor (I think of Seattle) “You ask me to sell our land to you? This is our mother, and we do not sell our mothers, you think you can bring change to nature in your own way and feel benefited, nay what you do to it, you do unto yourselves, you think you benefit nay you will suffer you just don't know it yet, I see the destruction coming, as you lose the sounds of our sister (breeze), the chirping of our cousin (sparrow), the flutter of a butterfly in your concrete cities….”
