In My Own Way

Though I achieved self-realization in 1984, for four-and-a-half years after that, I was just on pilgrimage. I did not commence any spiritual work.

There is no record of the happenings in the life of Jesus between his childhood and around 30 years. Recently I viewed ‘Bible’, a documentary film on Jesus Christ. The film-makers have projected the life of Jesus Christ in a different angle. The movie is a dialogue between John, the Baptist, and Jesus, on the incidents in the life of Jesus from his early years.

Joseph and Mary take Jesus to the Church, and Jesus remains there for three days. They return searching for him. Mary of Magdalene is depicted as being in love with Jesus. After Joseph’s death, Jesus’ mother Mary reveals to Jesus the secret of his birth and shows him the pearls and gems brought by the seers of the East. Jesus tells Mary of Magdalene, ‘I have come for some other work. I have no place for love in my life’. He is shown as a human character wearing a pair of trousers, shirt. When Jesus gets baptized, a form is shown leaving his body and then he wanders about in the desert, Satan tries to tempt him. The incidents have been visualized superbly. What is known of Jesus is, he wandered for a major part of his life and emerged suddenly at 30. They have portrayed him as typical human being till the demise of his father.

From 1984, when I had the experience of spiritual realization, till around 1988, I visited every one of the spiritual leaders, observed their working pattern, their infrastructure, and designed my system of working.

I did not start off anything suddenly. I observed many spiritual leaders, and arrived at my own system that would prove to be good and constructive.

You are prepared to fall at the feet of politicians for your material elevation, but you consider it below your dignity to prostrate in front of the Lord! This is the sad state of the present day society.
