People want liberation and yet they engage in
conflicts and difference of opinions, and take sides. By claiming you are right,
you automatically say that the other person is wrong. You will never achieve
liberation by saying someone is wrong. You will only attain the abode of the
supreme Self, which is void of any partiality, when you get rid of your
differences of opinions, discord, and sectarianism, and come to the center. By
taking sides you strengthen the foundation of partiality and in doing so you
bind yourself to infinite future worldly lives. Do you want
liberation or do you want to remain in sects? How many factions and warring
camps have been created from just one religion? There is no liberation wherever
there is any kashaya (anger, false pride, attachment and greed). True religion
has no
kashaya. People resort to kashaya to strengthen their sects. They have
reduced religion to a racecourse. They compete for disciples. A man renounces
his wife and children but takes on disciples in their place. Then he spends the
entire day in discord and restlessness with his disciples. How can you call that
a path to liberation?
