Question: I feel that the resistance to go inwardly and realize ‘I AM’ , ‘the Oneness’ , the Self within more and more creates an inner pressure in oneself which explodes and expresses outwardly in the form of religious violence, religious in-tolerance, hatred, superiority and inferiority of casts, highly materialistic attitude, mental agony etc., Since the realization of the Self within, is beyond all names and forms, it forces oneself to change within and take personal responsibility for his destiny by way of realizing that Absolute within more and more. Thus, the resistance to change creates conveniently the Creator and world concept and expresses it outwardly in the form of distracted reflective images which makes one to cling onto various gods and goddesses, demy-gods, superstitions, and religious orthodoxy.
Vedanta conveys the Absolute Truth by way of Self-realization that there is nothing in the Universe which is not God. Prophet Mohammed in Islam by way of highest Self Surrender without any deviation in terms of superstitions, demigods, miracles and conveyed that there is nothing in the Universe which is God, except ‘Allah’, the Un-seen. The above Prophecies even though appear to be diagonally opposite, it is exactly the same because, both destroy the ego, superstitions, demy-gods, orthodoxy, and miracles and develop fearlessness, compassion, etc.
The people who crucified Jesus Christ also were not an Atheist, or Agnostic. They also believed that some higher force was there. Since that Great Master was pointing towards the Absolute Truth which is beyond all names and forms and the same was not supporting their Orthodoxy, superstitions, and demy-gods concepts, etc., they could not digest His messages, and hence he was crucified. In the same way Buddha was poisoned to death. Prophet Mohammed was driven away from Mecca to Medina. When he got the messages in the Light of Mountain through Angel Gabriel over the period, he initially started conveying them secretly through his wife and closest associates. He could start openly declaring the messages only after 3 years. Even Buddha, when he got enlightenment, he first hesitated whether to declare that subtle Truth of Nirvana or leave it as it is. After some time, he thought that it was better to declare and finally conveyed them with lots of hesitation.
My doubt is: Whether it was 2000 years before or now, what is the reason behind for giving resistance to that One Absolute Truth within in its True state of Un-seen, Un-known, and Un-knowable? Is it because of thickening of one’s vasanas or lack of knowledge of Supreme Self and Self effort (Purushartha) or fear of penetrating into Un-known?
