If you wish to pass straight to the exercise, click here: Skip to the Exercise "You have just now heard that within us lies the power of our ascent, ascent to the Divine. Now, maybe, there are some people who can say: 'How? How do you say that? What’s your authority?' Naturally, one can ask such a question. But, as a scientist, we have to keep our minds open to any knowledge. I say this is the knowledge of the roots. Why? Whatever we have known so far is the knowledge of the tree. It sounds fantastic sometimes to people. How can the awakening of the Kundalini or the Holy Ghost, as described in the Bible, can bring forth this tremendous change, this transformation and all the benefits of physical, mental, emotional and material being within us. It’s impossible to believe because it’s too fantastic. But we don’t realise that how fantastically we are made by God Almighty. We take Him so much for granted.

Look at Buddha or look at any one of these people. Mohammed Saab, how they tortured his life. And they all have talked about this time as the resurrection time because, before the doomsday, the resurrection has to come. But they - people who are in-charge of them, there are people who have taken their charge, in this world - will not believe that there can be redemption, that there could be resurrection because it’s a money making proposition. I met a Mayor today in the morning, of another place, and he told me, he asked me actually: 'Why people become so fanatic about religion?' I said: 'Because it is a money making proposition everywhere.' [ at 10 minutes 18 seconds ] ..." | |||||
