Beyond Doubt – Adi Da
Samraj
Intelligent people cannot find God
in such a mass of idiocy, so quite naturally they look for
satisfaction elsewhere. Thus, people are preoccupied with
all kinds of political and scientific idealism, as if
politics and scientific and technological progress were the
Way of Truth. They are absolutely not the Way of Truth. They
never have been the Way of Truth. They are no more the Way
of Truth than sex or any other satisfaction or fulfillment
of function. None of that is the Way of Truth at all. It is
the ordinary impulse of the ego, glamorizing itself by great
enterprises.
If this trend toward political and
scientific obsession is to be broken, some light must be
brought to the whole affair of spiritual and religious
understanding….If not, the world will be overwhelmed. It
is almost inevitable now that it will be overwhelmed in any
case. The world, even the Realm of Nature as a whole, is
founded on a righteous Principle. Therefore, the world will
be purified, without a doubt. The Force of the Divine
pervades everything, and, therefore, It also purifies
everything in one way or another. If human beings, while
they have the benign capacity to enter into God-Communion,
will not do so, but instead create a corrupt culture, a
subhuman order, then the purification will not occur within
the ordinary and benign course of natural processes…then
great upheavals necessarily occur. That is how the righteous
Law works. It is not just that we pay our dues for past
activity. A righteous Principle is positively at work,
constantly to purify and to reestablish order.
Thus, there are periods of great
negative upheaval in the world, including natural disasters,
wars, and conflicts of all kinds. On the one hand, during
these periods, the world pays its dues for failing to live
by the Law. On the other hand, these times of upheaval are
the evidence of a continuous process of purification. They
are themselves a demonstration of the Law. At the end of
these periods, the Law is reestablished in
righteousness.
It is very likely that we are
entering into such a time of upheaval, because of the extent
of the failure of human culture. There is simply no light
abroad in the world today. There is nothing but corruption,
nothing but the failure to accept the Way of God. There is
absolutely no sign of the Way of Truth, except in rare
instances of individuals and small groups of people. The
Truth is essentially hidden and secondary. There is a long
history of corruption in every area of human life, and the
entire social structure of the world is devoted to subhuman
ends and forms of self-indulgence. There are no signs of an
imminent Golden Age in the disposition or condition of
humanity at large. Rather, the signs are of the necessity
for a great purification, a great reestablishment of order,
a righteous readjustment of the whole world.
