The One Straight WayI looked at him surprised. "How do you find out one straight way? Are you saying, for example, that Hinduism is the only way?" "No, no, no, no. I’m not talking that way. What I say is, to acquire the knowledge of God, the knowledge which has been given by God, know that. Follow it. That is the straight way. That’s all I’m saying. Be a child of God, have that knowledge, follow that knowledge. Don’t follow the path given by people. Follow the path given by God," he spoke with enthusiasm. "You’re really saying then that people’s interpretations, or ‘personality cults,’ should be avoided?" "Right, right, because all these paths and ways that are created by men, not by God, they deviate us. They confuse us and mislead us so that we may go the wrong way," he said. "One more thing I want to add ...." "Please go ahead," I encouraged. "What our Hindu scriptures say was written down by rishis (enlightened men and women). Rishis were those people who were selfless. They were not like ordinary beings. Whatever they spoke, they were explaining the knowledge of God. If you want to see that knowledge, go through the books of the rishis — the Vedas, Upanishads, Darshanas — and you will find the direct way." |
