Life is the creation of God, the best intelligent system existing in this Universe. When a
human being is born, it is an important statement of this system that has a
moral code, the implications of which very few people grasped. The ones who
grasped its implications were the prophets who spoke of the ‘Truth’, the
never-ending reality. When a child is born, its mind is not the product of any
parochial system that any society has devised as part of its civilization. It
has no religion or politics. It is a beautiful expression because it is the
creation of the holistic system of God. When it grows up, the social milieu
takes hold of its mind, and the rest sometimes is very tragic. It is given some
identity that others consider essential, the identity which does great damage to
its mind. This is just because all these imposed values do not agree with the
values of the moral system to which we essentially belong. Love is the basis of
the interaction of the mind with the beings that belong to the system of life
that include human beings too. When the society imposes restrictions on the
basis of the reductionism that it has formed, the reductionism that the members
think necessary for the identity of the group, with the lacing of an education
that does not cultivate the essential love that is necessary for its happiness,
the resultant mind is quite appropriate for waging wars and perpetrating evils
for the promotion of the selfish. As civilization progresses, there will be many
agencies of the civilization trying to fill consciousness with their own
products, and the result is damaging to the mind because love is possible only
for living beings that include human beings also.
Since we are the products of the System that gave us life the best
expression of the human mind, its culture and spirituality, can be expressed
only in relationship with the System that controls life. The problem comes when
religions project their systems divine as it alienates the mind from its
essential qualities. The mind that is guided by the System escapes from the
silly perceptions imposed by the religious systems. The people who spoke of the
Truth wanted humanity to be free from the religious faiths that tamper with its
essential qualities. The book deals with the state of Enlightenment that
is available to the human mind by virtue of its relationship with the human
life. This was the state attained by the people who spoke of the Truth -
Zoroaster, Buddha, Christ, Mohammad...... which is different from the religious
faiths that haunt humanity for ever.
