Human body is the only way for manifestation of God There is but one law or fundamental rule and that is the manifestation of God in the human body. It does not know any distinction of caste and creed, any time or place; all that is indispensably required is the human body and God’s mercy, The ‘only way’ of God’s manifestation in the highest form is through the body of a man and this is the ‘only law’ of highest expression in the world. There is but only one way and there is but one fundamental rule – the highest manifestation of God is in the human body. The principal requirement for God’s manifestation is the human body. Let him be a Hindu or Buddist or Christian or Muslim or let him belong to any other religion of the world or let him live in any part of the world, if God (Atma) takes pity on him then He will manifest Himself in the body of the man and the man on his part will see God in his own body. This law is fundamental. God is in the body. He is in an invisible and unattached condition. He emanates from the body, manifests himself in full-fledged form in the cerebrum, when God-the-Preceptor points out and shows God and himself melts away in God. The seer understands it distinctly that God is in the body and He has sprang up from the body. ↗

N'en déplaise aux bêtifications des nouveaux adultes occidentaux, n'en déplaise à cette nouvelle religion - la seule, au fond, qui tienne et fasse même l'unanimité - selon laquelle l'enfance, en tant que telle, serait pure, sainte, source de vérité, de beauté, de morale, on peut être un enfant et être un monstre. Alors, d'accord pour la cause des enfants suppliciés. D'accord pour, à l'Onu et ailleurs, lancer des actions en vue de tirer le maximum d'enfants de cet enfer que sont les guerres. Mais pas d'accord pour alimenter à travers ces actions le vieux préjugé de l'enfance innocente et sacrés. (ch. 19 La nuit des enfants-soldats ↗

E se eu te dissesse que ele é um deus? O velho abanou a cabeça. Já não acredito em nada disso. Deixei de acreditar há anos. Onde os homens não conseguem viver, os deuses não têm melhor sorte. Vais ver. É melhor estar sozinho. ↗

Tragische Schuld verkörpert sich im permanenten Konflikt zwischen der uralten religiösen Vorstellung von der Missetat als einer Beschmutzung, die einer ganzen Rasse anhaftet und unausweichlich von einer Generation auf die nächste vererbt wird [...], und dem neuen vom Gesetz übernommenen Konzept, nach dem der Schuldige definiert wird als Privatperson, die sich aus eigenem Antrieb und unter keinem Zwang stehend entschlossen hat, ein Verbrechen zu begehen. ↗

In der gegenwärtigen 'Kultur' geben sich wenige die Mühe, zwischen Aufrichtigkeit und dem Vorspielen von Aufrichtigkeit zu unterscheiden - ja, wenige sind zu dieser Unterscheidung überhaupt in der Lage -, wie auch nur wenige zwischen religiösem Glauben und dem Einhalten religiöser Vorschriften unterscheiden. ↗
