Do not destroy pluralism

Bhakta : Prabhu they are damaging statues...

Bhagwan : Why?

Bhakta : Prabhu you know everything..

Bhagwan : Say it, may be you have something different in mind

Bhakta : I don't know actual reason but they say such statues should not exist

Bhagwan : So they all are destroying statues and all condemning each other. Going by that strange and idiotic logic no one has right to exist. They are not damaging statues, they are damaging pluralism.

Bhakta : Very sad but Prabhu why they are doing so?

Bhagwan : It is the shallowness of existence. They have such narrow mind that they are not able to understand and accept a different point of view, a different way of life.

Bhakta : But why do not accept each other?

Bhagwan : Real reason is greed. For greed they divide society into groups. They want that people should only accept their version of philosophy of life. But they do not realize how they are damaging their own nation. Just see how this great civilization is behaving. They have such rich history of diversity and peaceful coexistence. This diversity is the basic foundation why this civilization is so great, so beautiful and has sustained test of time.

Bhakta : But Prabhu difference of opinion may be there

Bhagwan : Yes indeed difference of opinion will be there and is necessary. It is this difference of opinion which allows humans to think from various aspects. It is this difference of opinion which creates a balance and if you look carefully it creates harmony. Real harmony is in diversity be it religious, social, cultural or political. A single line of thought only creates rigidity and clashes. Diversity demands discussion, understanding and acceptance. It does not demand hatred and violence.

Bhakta : How can this stop Prabhu?

Bhagwan : It is for them to see. If they wish to survive and grow, they have to relearn the art of tolerance and acceptance. Respect each other. Never try to eliminate other. Just like ecosystem humans must understand if they damage other philosophy, they too will get damaged. As every species is crucial in nature, so is every ideology in human civilization.

Bhakta : They all say other's ideology is bad for growth and existence.

Bhagwan : As true with religion, no ideology is bad. It is the implementation and practice that goes wrong. That is true for all ideologies. So instead of criticizing each other's ideology, they must promote what is good in their own ideology. People will judge and accept what is good. When a company sell products they tell people what is good in their product so that people can see and buy. Only by telling what is bad in other products will not improve sale. This only proves they do not have enough confidence in their own ideology. Let all ideologies grow. There is enough space for every ideology but there is no space for greed.

Bhakta : What should they do Prabhu?

Bhagwan : The only way is to use brain. Do not damage own foundation. Nothing will survive. Diversity of ideology has given vitality to this civilization. Do not behave like that stupid man who was cutting on branch on which he was seated. Do not have regressive narrow mind. Show grace and maturity of acceptance, understanding and cooperation. If you want civilization to remain existent and grow then grow in your mind first. Use brain for sake of civilization.

Bhakta : Using brain Prabhu .............  Naaraayan !!!  Naaraayan !!!
