All religions must take responsibility for the suffering in the world. Instead of teaching salvation, religions are creating pockets of imprisonment. They have created strife and conditioned people. But this is coming to an end. From now on, schools, colleges and universities will help people discover where thoughts and ideas come from, that we are all connected to the Almighty and that we do not need scriptures to experience our true Selves.
Those who are supposed to spread My message, and are in a position to serve the people, have used their position to obtain personal comforts instead. The struggle to become bishops or other powerful personages within the religious hierarchies, should end: ?'?'Do not say you are becoming a bishop in the name of Jesus, when in fact you are doing it for yourself. Since you are not doing this for the Lord, the Lord cannot be with you."
The nearest and dearest to God: ?'?'are the people who do My work without reward. But so is the thief. Why? Because he does his work without knowing what will be its outcome. He has to fulfill his basic needs and so acts in the only way that he can. He does not set out to do anyone harm. He does not cry out for God. The furthest from the Lord are the saints and gurus who have given up all the duties and responsibilities of life. They have closed their minds to the realities of life, and every day and night search for God, wanting to know Him, to find out where He lives, somewhere in Heaven. Outwardly, they appear sane and peaceful. Inwardly they are in chaos, crying inside in their desperate search for God."
Politicians are baffled because they cannot control the people with ideologies. But it is the religious authorities who cling most to power, believing ?'?'there is only one way to go to heaven.'' Yet how do these religious leaders live? What is their lifestyle? Perhaps that of kings: palaces, jets, bullet-proof cars. Krishna lived in a hut. This is true divinity. Likewise today, real wise man sleep in a small room, in a simple bed.This is contantment!
False prophets, are those who, surrounded by pomp and circumstance and protected by bodyguards, deny them-selves contact with the people. A simple life, with the people, would make this unnecessary for the messenger of the Lord. The true messengers are those who work on the ground with the people, eating with the people, healing and helping them. The others have departed from the example of Jesus.
However, many church leaders now are coming out in defence of the people. They are challenging the politicians to address the moral and spiritual dimension which cannot be circumvented by anyone holding power. If this dimension is neglected a crisis necessarily follows. What religious leaders ?'?'have not wanted to do, they will have to do now,''. Around the world they will eventually leave their palaces to live in simpler surroundings, because simplicity is a significant factor in order ?'?'to remain with the Lord in the heart.'' The trend towards greater simplicity will also be observable among many rich people who will surrender the excess and share with the people.
