The Problem of Terrorism
Now, we shall examine the problem of terrorism. There can be many
religions on the earth, based on the difference in the culture and the
civilization existing in the various parts of the world. In the above topic
we have seen that the traditions are different, but the essence of the
traditions is one and the same. Similarly, religions may differ, but the
essence of the religions, which is the spiritual knowledge, is one and the
same. The spiritual knowledge says that there is only one God for this
entire earth or even for the entire creation. This point is agreed by all
religions. The names and forms of the absolute unimaginable God are
different in different languages and different dresses of culture. Krishna
and Jesus are one and the same, dressed differently as per the difference in
the culture of the regions of this earth. If you say that Krishna alone is God
and the Gita alone is the scripture, several generations passed away
without the knowledge of Krishna and the Gita in the past, when there was
no communication between the countries, till the discovery of India by
other countries. In such case, those generations have gone to hell since
they did not worship Krishna and did not here the Gita. This is not their
fault due to lack of inter-continental contact. In such case, God becomes
partial without reason. It means, God should have been mad. God is the
Father of every human being and He cannot be partial to some children
only without reason. If God is impartial, He should have appeared as
Krishna in all countries and delivered the Gita simultaneously. Had it been
done, it becomes justified to say that those, who worshipped Krishna, went
to God and those, who refused Krishna, went to hell. This argument
applies to the conservative followers of every religion. The solution for
this is that the same God appeared in different forms and delivered the
same knowledge in various parts of the world simultaneously. The forms
may be different but God is one and the same. The languages of the
scriptures may differ but the essential knowledge is one and the same.
Thus, there is simultaneous delivery of knowledge to everybody in the
creation. Hence, God, the Father, is impartial to His children, who are all
the human beings. If this single truth is realized, there will be no violent
terrorism in the name of God. The terrorists always kill the followers of
other religion. They do not know that they are killing the devotees of
their own God. Suppose there is a police officer. He sits in his office in the
uniform and another police officer is his best friend. The police officer sits
in his house in civil dress. He has another friend in civil dress. The son of
the police officer is always exposed to him in the civil dress. Hence, the
son praises the friend of the father in civil dress and scolds the other friend
in uniform. The ignorant son does not know that his father in the civil
dress is the same person in the uniform. He mistakes his father in the
uniform as an outsider and even scolds him.
Both naxalism and terrorism should be removed to bring the peace in
society, which is the main essence of pravrutti. Unless you follow the
ethics, which is the commandment of God, how can you please Him in
nivrutti or spiritual path? If you disobey God in pravrutti, you cannot
please Him in nivrutti because God is one and the same in both the
subjects.
