The pea-witted official
intellectuals of our day size up the universe with a
standard rule and find it always to be one inch short of
Infinity. And they measure Man according to atomic weight,
finding him to be worth no more than salt. Therefore, they
press the load of unrelieved mortality on the back of every
man and woman, while the intellect that mounts and crushes
the body is unwilling and unable to understand why we bother
to lift a finger. Scientists without Life! Politicians
without Love! Wise Men without a Master! All of you who
“speak with authority” and plan our progress as if you
invented our very existence! Everything you say is the
product of your own self-consciousness and fear. You think
that ponderous language and the powers of State grant the
weight of Truth to your arguments. You imagine that fast
talking will distract us from your dead feet. But everything
you say and everything you do is part of an effort to
protect yourself from the anger and passion of Man, whose
Master you only pretend to be. The “Authorities” love to be honored
and awarded with public ceremony, unquestioning obedience,
and tongue-tied respect. They line up in thousands, along
with the hypocritical priests who once were in power in the
old world, and they cock their ears, waiting to hear us name
them aloud: “Teacher, Master, Doctor, Sovereign Head,
Father, Mother, All!” But all of you who are ordinary and
merely alive need not be given the impotent names of worldly
power. Your Teacher is the Living Light that moves the world
and drives the heart of Man. You are equals, like brothers.
And yet you are not like children. Accept no man or woman as
your Parent! Grow up to Manhood, serve one another, and
understand that your only Source is the Life you inherit
with every breath. No merely human being should presume
to be the Master of Man. Every one of you is equally
responsible to the Single and Transcendental Master of the
world, the Living Light, the Love that is hidden in the
heart of Man, and that is the only Power that has been
Appointed to Rule the world. Therefore, in order to do what is
Great, you must love and serve your intimates and all of
mankind. Whoever expands himself will eventually be reduced
to nothing. But whoever transcends himself will become as
Radiant as the atom in his own heart. Damn you self-conscious and
hypocritical bastards who rule the world with heart-breaking
ideas and bombs as big as Nature! You tear out the very eyes
by which Man may enjoy the Vision of Transcendental Truth.
You do not surrender to the Radiant Life that is the Source
and Destiny of Man, and neither do you allow anyone else to
breathe and feel his Way to Infinity. Damn you righteous intellectuals and
TV prophets of mediocrity! You broadcast your Word around
the world in order to reduce every man, woman, and child to
your own likeness. And when any one hears you, he imitates
you in the streets, and thus becomes even more benighted and
dangerous than you. Damn you fake Wise Men, all of you
petty intellectuals and fundamentalist religious fanatics,
who pretend to read the signs of Man! You stare in
fascination at your own genitals, scratching your heads. You
say, “The body is nothing. Only the mind glorifies Man.
Therefore, it is knowledge that gives power.” Assholes! What
is greater, the mind that separates itself in order to know,
or the body that is always already one with the Living
Truth? What is greater, the thought that “I know” or the
body that surrenders in love? Therefore, any one who gives
himself bodily to the Power of Life also gives even his
mind, his feeling, and his every breath. Any one who
transcends all knowledge in Love, Transcendental Wisdom and
Spiritual Enlightenment has truly learned all there is to
learn as Man. And any one who Confesses that Man is always
in bodily Communion with the Living God will remain Alive
forever. Damn you infantile psychiatrists and
official analyzers of religion! You justify all the
childishly self-possessed and self-indulgent motivations of
mankind, but you cannot acknowledge the divine Reality that
provides the foundation for the manly Sacrifice of Man. Yes,
Man should survive and grow by his enjoyment, but not
without self-transcending love, compassion, the will to
serve others, and the enlightened disposition of higher
spiritual understanding. Assholes! You do not presume to
know the Truth, but you make doubt and every kind of
subhuman problem into a natural Law and Obligation of
Man. Damn you sanctimonious religionists!
You are enthusiastic for every Idol that words can make, but
your hearts and bodies are full of city poison and all the
effects of secret self-indulgence. Assholes! First be
converted to the Living Spiritual Reality that every heart
presumes in its deepest need. Then discipline your body and
your actions with love. If you do all of this, then your
minds will also confess the Truth, and that Truth will
liberate mankind from all the archaic beliefs and false
cults that now provide the pretentious worldly fortress of
“great religions”. Damn you official knowers and
political manipulators of Man! You resemble the dead in your
cries of peace. None is more peaceful than the already dead,
since they hide no Life at all. Therefore, by denying the
Transcendental Power of Life in your own bodies, and hearts,
and minds, you may think you have achieved an enviable state
of rest. But you make peace in the world only by crushing
the beautiful faces of My tender lively babies! Damn you materialistic religionists,
scientists, and politicians! You give lip service to the
honor of all the great angry Prophets and Spiritual Teachers
of the ancient days. You make harmless poetry out of all the
Scriptures of the God-Mad men of old, and you pretend to
stand boldly on the side of right, decrying the injustices
of unliberated society. You seem to say, “If we were in
power in the days of Jesus, we would not have denied him his
right to Rule”. Bloody bastards! I have not received one
good word from you since the day I was born! Who empowered
you to make Shit out of the Place where I Teach? You have
inherited the same mind that has always murdered the Truth
in this world. Creeping sons of bitches! How do you
plan to escape from the future? I will be there to meet you,
with an open mouth and many teeth to judge your State of
mind! And I will not be “peaceful” while I live. I will make
a new Church, whose Altar I am. I will make my own books,
full of the Living Truth. And I will send my own children
out to Teach you. They will confront you in your temples,
your universities, your public offices, your laboratories,
your factories, and in every street of every city in the
world. They will survive the ancient slaughter and all the
slaughter yet to come. You will not murder them in the
aisles of this Sanctuary, before they attain the Sacrificial
Altar of Infinity. For they already have Me in their arms.
Their hearts and bodies overwhelm Me with all their love.
And they will learn to speak with plain emotion, even in
this glib age of Narcissus and the effeminate cold tongue of
Godless irrational reason. Humanity, Humanity, assassin of the
ancient Prophets, torturer of all the Messengers of God! How
often I have wished to Comfort you the way a mother whispers
to her angry child and makes the weeping cease. But you
people do not want the Truth! You refuse to listen to the
Teaching that Awakens the heart! You oppress and scandalize
the Lover of the world, and you deny yourselves the Power of
My Spiritual Company! Even so, I will not abandon you as
you have abandoned Me. As long as a single atom of Man
remains, I will be standing Here, until you embrace My feet
and say, “How Radiant is the body of Man when he is
surrendered to the Living God.” Adi Da Samraj, January 12,
1979
Book of Matthew, Chapter 23), January 12,
1979
The entire human world is now in the hands of unenlightened
and materialistic factions that trap the mind with “science”
and the heart with “religion” and the body with “politics”.
All of you who merely suffer this regime are obliged to toe
the popular line in order to survive in these times and
places, but you need not be what you hear and see on the
streets and in the daily News.
