Violence through thought word and deed

                               

                         Violence is inevitable in a world where out of the six billion people of the  world only a mere couple of millions happen to be full time meditators. In fact violence started from the very moment the Daityas (demons) longed for a spiritual supremacy over the Gods. Violence which ignites from the mind leads to all kinds of actions against peace from the individual, to the community, the society and intensifies into the scene of the entire world in the form of terrorism, sectarian conflicts, religious clashes, world wars etc. The very first seed of vengence that sprouts from the human mind that magnifies into catastrophic forms of human degradation happens only and only because of the incapacity of the individuals to grasp the totality of the field of the most Supreme intelligence known as the Unified field. All forms of material violence cannot be curbed as long as human individuals do not awaken to the field of the most Supreme intelligence but there are weird characters who inspite of having claimed to have tapped the abundant source of spiritual reservoir are ever adamant to spread the fire of spiritual violence. Denying the source of all beings, the Reality about  the Infinite and Eternal presence of the most  Supreme Godhead or propogating false theories and contradicting the Truth about “The unbounded realm of unmodified Consciousness- Existence- Being” or the Absolute Reality and making a futile effort to cling onto spiritual supremacy by trying to prove a pseudo and non-existent Non-Existence stance is creating spiritual violence, at least on the thought and ideology level. Preaching half truths and propogating incomplete knowledge about the Non-Being standpoint is keeping spiritual aspirants in the dark and thereby making people harbour spiritually violent ideologies against the most Supreme Godhead to cause spiritual violence. Keeping spiritual aspirants in the dark and preventing them from reaching the Light is causing a form of spiritual violence. As long as each and every spiritually inadequate Non-Being (anti-God) leader ignites an antagonistic ideology against the only permanent Reality in the minds of spiritually immature aspirants, it is  propogating spiritually violent ideologies to cause spiritual violence on the planet because the only real and permanent presence in the entire manifested Universe is that of God and nothing else. We know when there is friction of the bad over the good, the evil over the benevolent, the sinner over the saint, the profane over the sacred, the vices over the virtues, the false over the truth, the atheists over the theists and the propogation of the false, satanic and anti-God theories  over the Infinite and Eternal Reality of God, there is bound to be great unpleasant commotion and violence inflicted on the thought, word and deed level. “Now do we understand how spiritually incompetent and inadequate spiritual charmers  create spiritual violence on the planet?”

                        Violence in all forms happen at the thought, word and deed level. We may not know that violence committed at the word and deed level has its source or origin in a person’s thought. The seed of vengence, feelings of hatred, the harbouring of enmity, jealousy, envy, malice, the desire to cause violence on someone or possibly assasinate and kill somebody, the meanest thought of terrorising people, etc sprout up or starts from a person's thought process. The moment the thought about malice and to create violence is created in someone’s thought process the thought propelled violence gets converted into violence through word or deed. Therefore, actions of violence through word or deed can be stopped if the thought of violence that originates from the mind is stopped from getting fuelled further then and there,  as soon as it is in the embryonic stage. In order to stop violence from happening it has to be rooted out down from the very roots from where it sprung. So, the only process to stop violence from taking place is to terminate the thoughts of violence that arises right at the thought level. The origin of violence which originates at the thought level has to be completely rooted out to stop violence from taking place at the word and deed level.

                    There are two kinds of thoughts, pure and impure. Only spiritually elevated beings who have transcended the heart centre have purity of thought. So the chances of violence at the thought, word and deed level from a spiritually elevated being is nil. This is the sole reason why an expanded growth of consciousness on the planet is the only antidote to permanent peace prevailing in the world. It is because a spiritually elevated individual is the most peaceful being ever found on the planet. The normal human beings have impure thoughts and since the  violent thought process of the ordinary mortals cannot be detected and is totally unknown to others around him there is not much harm that can take place. There is not much harm that can take place as long as the thought propelled violence is controlled and not converted into violence through word and deed.

                          The second most dangerous form of violence committed is the violence carried out through word. The word propelled violence in frequent cases gets converted into violence through deed or action. Verbal form of violence is so catastrophic that it can wreck relationships in an instant and invite enmity between close bonds the rest of their lives. The heights of how catastrophic verbal violence can be has already been experienced by us by the example of the Mahabharata period when Draupadi, the most chaste wife of the Pandavas, called Duryodhana “Blind”. Only this small incident of maligning was enough for Duryodhana to hatch a conspiracy by inviting the Pandavas into a gambling match which led the Kauravas trying to strip Draupadi naked and which undoubtedly led the the Kauravas and Pandavas to the greatest battle known in the whole history of mankind, the Mahabharata War. The ignorant use of one incident of maligning can lead to the consequences of a war. “ Just ponder why the word catastrophic has been coined to describe the consequences of verbal violence here!”

                        We have all seen what action oriented violence is like. Yes, all forms of violence like a heated brawl at a local pub, the murder of a boyfriend of someone’s wife or mistress by the other half,  a community gang fight , shootout between brotherhood members, all acts of terrorism, the September 11 attacks, border dispute wars,  violence about territory claims and the two world wars we have already seen. All forms of action oriented violence has its source in the violent human thoughts and until the thoughts of violence that originates in the mind is not tamed violence committed through action cannot be curbed and will never come under control.

                           There are two methods to put an end to violence on the planet. The temporary solution would be to root out the violence that ignites in the mind by staying disciplined with one’s thoughts and thereby stopping any form of violence on the word and deed level. This is a temporary solution whereas the only permanent key to stop violence from the individual level would be to be spiritual growth practitioners and become spiritually elevated beings. The main responsibility of establishing permanent peace on the planet falls on the shoulders of all world governments, not by wasting financial resources, funds and capital from the state vault on temporary means and measures to curb world problems but by raising awareness among the world citizens about spiritual growth as a permanent means to peace if peace and not violence is the growing demand and need of the planet at the present moment!!!
