HANDS OFF TRADITIONAL TRAPPINGS WHEN IT COMES TO AFFIRMING RELATIVE TRUTH

HANDS OFF TRADITIONAL TRAPPINGS WHEN IT COMES TO AFFIRMING RELATIVE TRUTH

সত্যকে কেউ চায় না | সবই সঙ্ঘের ধামাধরা | (No one seeks the truth. All are adherents of organisation.) The assumed security of fanciful presumptions prevails over the shocking revelation of truth. তাই বেদে সূত্রের প্রাদুর্ভাব, ব্যক্তিত্বের নয় | (That is why in the Vedas principles abound, not personalities.) May principle prevail over personality! Then and then alone our religious adherence may be in line with the Sanatan Dharma. Else, it remains as of now the nth derivative of the Vedas and not even its first such in the form of the Purānās. The heterodox compound that the practised faith of the Hindus today is, is far from principle and is kith and kin of personality in all its unorganised and organised forms. The Sanatan Dharma, though, is principle over personality and not the other way round. 

Be independent and affirm your Impersonal godhead. Stop leaning on the crutches of organisation with all its concomitant evils. Be grounded in truth, spiritual, material and historical, and do not aver yet again as gospel what has been disclosed to you as erroneous. Affirm the truth whole and pure irrespective of what prophets and scriptures have said, irrespective of what gods and goddesses have uttered, irrespective of what 'God Himself' has in error decreed, for essentially it is all within the sphere of the historical evolution of man and not within the jurisdiction of any arbitrary heavenly absolute authority.
