Let us work for universal spirituality

All of us are employees of this divine service of God. I am just the cook and all of you are in the catering section to propagate this divine knowledge of Universal spirituality, which is the dream of Nostradamus. Do not aspire for any fruit for this divine service of God, because the opportunity given to serve this divine mission of God itself is the divine fruit. Any human being on this earth can join this divine service at any moment. Any devotee who is in this divine service can resign and go out because the work of God will not stop under any circumstances. The person who joined this divine work has obtained this rarest divine fruit in the joining time itself.

The devotee who leaves this service has not left the work but lost the divine fruit. A human employer may fear to fill the post of a talented employee. But God has no such fear because the power of talents of all employees of God is coming from God only like current entering various electrical instruments to do various works.

Buddhism is very oriented towards universal spirituality.

Yes, but what does that mean?

buddha taught dharma (I think thats how it's spelled) and he taught that dharma is the root of all religions. In other words all religionions have some fundamental similarities. Different religions are all just different ways of percieving or explaining the same thing. An example of what I mean. Take a duck and give it to 3 men. man A is blind, man B is deaf and man C can't feel. Each man will tell you different things about what a duck is. Each man is talking about the same thing even though they will tell you different things.

So the origin of all religion is the same thing. The second point I want to make is that religion gets distorted over time. Their is a game called phone( or something) You take a bunch of people put them in a circle. One person wispers something into the ear of the person next to them. Who is supposed to whipser the exact same thing to the next person all the way around the circle by the time it gets back it's distorted beyond recognition.

If a one sentance message can get that distorted going threw 10 people in 1 min. Think how distorted a religion could get going threw several million people over thousands of years?

When God enters the soul and body of His most beloved devotee (son of God), such devotee is called as the human incarnation. In the human incarnation, we find both God and Son of God mixed with each other in a perfect homogeneous state so that both are inseparable like the wire and the current in the live wire. The wire is the Son of God and current is God. The live wire is the human incarnation. The live wire must be treated as the current and there is no alternative way to experience the existence of current.

In this context, the misunderstanding arises. The live wire says that it is moving the fan. In fact, the current is speaking this through the wire. People misunderstand that the bloody wire is boasting about itself as itself moving the fan. The live wire looks like any other wire as far as the properties of the wire (metallic nature, leanness, etc.,) are concerned. This makes other wires to think that the live wire is also an ordinary wire without current, which is boasting about itself. This confusion lead to the crucifixion of Jesus by the public.

When Jesus claimed that He is the truth, the light and the Father of the heaven, this claim was not from the Son of God, but it was from God Himself. But, the observers have misunderstood this statement as that of Jesus. When the speaker is invisible, the mike looks as if it is speaking by itself. Here, at any time the speaker is not converted into mike or the current is not converted into wire. The two units exist separately even during the time of the human incarnation in which, both are homogeneously mixed to form a single phase. If this point is realized, Jesus might have escaped the crucifixion. It is this point, which is stressed by Mohammed. He said that God would never become human being or the vice-versa. This does not mean that the Son of God should not be treated as God in the human incarnation by the devotees.

If you deny this assumption of treating the Son of God as God, the devotees become dissatisfied because they prayed God for the experience of God and service to God. Then the very purpose of the human incarnation is lost. Mohammed clarified this concept to avoid the danger. But, His followers misunderstood that He denied the very concept of human incarnation. Thus Buddha and Mohammed should be taken as the preachers who warned about the reality of the concept to avoid the danger of loosing the highest fruit and punishing the human incarnation respectively. The followers have extrapolated the preaching and as a result, Buddhists thought that God does not exist and Muslims thought that the human incarnation does not exist.

The concept of human incarnation is introduced and explained well by Krishna in the Gita and Jesus in the Bible. Krishna says that God enters the human being and Jesus says that God is in flesh. This clearly means that God is neither the human being nor the flesh at any time. Buddha and Mohammed clarified the misunderstandings of the human beings about this concept. Buddha indicated God as unimaginable through silence and Mohammed indicated God as invisible. The desire to become God comes generally, when God is seen by eyes in human form. Generally, the concept of human incarnation is avoided only to avoid the birth of this desire to become God. When God is invisible, generally the human tendency is to get some benefit from the invisible God and not to become God. But, Alas! The Advaitin has not left even the invisible God! He wants to become even that invisible God! Why becoming God? He claims that he is already God. For this, he proposed that God is the invisible awareness (soul), which exists in his body mixed with qualities, which is called as the individual soul (jeeva). He proposed that simple filtration of qualities from the soul will yield the absolute God because according to him God is pure awareness without qualities. The Advaitin gave his own false concept of God and also his own false way to become God.
