Human life involves both gain and loss. It involves times of joy and times of sorrow. It is mixed. There is often struggle in human life as well as moments of joy, moments of blessing. And human beings try to figure out how to navigate this life, its tragedies, its difficulties, its pain, and its joy, its moments of achievement, accomplishment, friendship, love. How to bring this complexity of human life into something that makes sense? And so human beings have developed ideologies and religions to attempt to make sense of their experience and to secure themselves, to further their well-being. Then the experience becomes placed inside the ideology and the structure of the ideology gives the experience meaning and a place, so that all the ups and downs of human life can be held within a structure.
So human beings have created so many different philosophies and religions to promote their own well-being and to make sense of their lives. Though human beings feel they have developed so much and have developed technologies and artificial intelligence, yet they remain primitive in their need to understand, and to bring into clarity the meaning of life through structures and beliefs that bind and confine as well as give meaning and purpose to life. Without that binding and confining, oftentimes human experience is too broad, too difficult to handle. And so the ideologies, religions, philosophies of the world have come into view and created structures.
But the problem is that when those structures clash against one another, the ideology of Group A and Group B come into conflict. Then there is the tendency of one group to want to dominate another. And so, war and human conflict arise; even in the family the feuds arise, because the philosophy of life will vary between family members, and they grow apart in their understanding and then they clash with each other. They do not know how to handle emotion, feeling.
So, due to these differences, human societies develop separate group identities and from those group identities view the world. This is natural to human beings. It is part of human survival to be a part of a group, a collective of people: small, such as the family; or a little larger, the extended family, the clan, the tribe; a little larger, the kingdom or the nation. But there is always the “other.” In all of these groups there is the in and the out.
So the natural tendency of human beings to live in community and to have group identity is understandable, but must be [unintelligible] by a larger collective identity, collective understanding that enhances and binds all the groups together. Otherwise, there is difficulty; otherwise groups are pitted one against the other. There are those who are within and without the group.
So, to settle these differences of human beings, there must be a larger agreed-upon force that can settle these differences, bring human beings together beyond these group identities. And that is why a collective that is large, that brings harmony to all of human life and ends the differences of war is essential to the continued well-being of humanity, and will be needed for human beings to rise to the occasion of the current difficulties facing humanity.
Climate change is not a difficulty of one country or another. It is a difficulty of the whole planet. The development of advanced technologies and AI is something that will take all of humanity to understand, to grapple with, and to properly apply. So there is no one group that can say it is this way or that. All of the groups will clash with each other until and unless there is a unified force to address these global problems, a unified force that has the collective acquisition of all of the groups.
There is no one religion, though all would like to be the only religion. But Parama Purusha, the infinite one, is universal, whether called Parama Purusha, Allah, Jehovah, God. It doesn’t matter the name. That is universal. There are a rare few who question that but they are few compared to the many who sense a presence, a love, a cosmic guidance to their lives. But the ideologies that come as a result of the human mind trying to understand and codify experience, they vary. They vary. So what to do?
If the one infinite divinity, the omnipresent love, becomes the goal of human life, and all ideologies surrender to this goal alone, then the religions of the world will become tolerant, the philosophies of the wise ones will become tolerant. But that overriding authority, that overriding world agreement is necessary. There must be a form of world government, world collective with strength to calm all of the different views of all of the subgroups within the society and have them live in harmony and work towards the furtherance of humanity at large.
Change of this nature is born of necessity. It isn’t just one more philosophy or ideology. It is born of necessity. As human beings go forward with their technology, with their ability of self-destruction, with the crises of change on the planet, there will be no other alternative but to unite, to address their common difficulties and forget their groups and their warring ideologies. A new dawn arises, a new time in human history, a new beginning. And human beings will adapt, will change, but first they must see the need for such a change.
It must be widely understood and promoted by people. That is the Shudra revolution, the people promoting change, promoting the addressing of their common needs. When will this happen and the need of one group, one nation, one religion over another cease to be the norm? When will humanity be ready for this change?
It is not far in the future. So, who to this belief, this positive belief in the ability of human society, of human beings at large to come together to solve their collective problems and to find a way forward? Never become discouraged by temporary changes. They come and they go. Human beings must come to a point where they want to address their problems, where they want to end their wars more than they want their own group to conquer and succeed.
The human heart is very powerful. And when human beings call out en masse worldwide, a change will happen. It is a sure guarantee. For now, do your part. Spread the ideology of love, of the one infinite divinity, the polestar of human life, whether by the name of Allah, God, Jehovah, or Parama Purusha. Let it be known.
The human heart is a powerful force, for deep heart is connected to the divinity that permeates all life. Deep inside you know the unity of life. It is your deep awareness, the deep awareness of all beings.
So look on the bright side during these times. See the positive flow of human life, see the love around you, see the love of the infinite guiding humanity to open its eyes and live in a different relationship with the planet, with all animals, the plants. Not to be the exploiter but to be in harmony with, in love with, and to bring peace, love, and harmony to all existence. You do this in your own lives to the best of your ability and you will be part of this change.
