Religious Door-to-Door Converters SpiritualityFrom: yogeeshashram | Religious Converters always knock your door disturbing your peace. These converters are an example of religious madness. Imagine if the whole world was converted to one religion, people will still find a reason to kill each other. Why convert others from one religion to another religion, while keeping them in a small box. Enlightened Master, Acharya Shree Yogeesh, emphasizes the only reason to convert: Convert the people's hearts. Convert them to be more compassionate, kind, and loving people.
There's no need to convert their religion, convert their hearts.
Transcription:Are religious door-to-door converters doing the right thing?
This is really a revolutionary question. Anger is the madness of the mind but religious madness is the worst kind of madness.
Sometimes there are people who will knock on your door during the early hours of the morning, who have come to convert you. They will disturb you while you are spending time with your family.
I had an experience with three religious converters. They did not know I was a Spiritual Teacher.
They were happy that I invited them into the living room, because they found someone to convert. They were determined. I was ready to be converted.I asked them first, 'Do you believe that we are all Children of God?' 'Yes, he is our Father,' they answered. 'Then why are we poor, if we are his children? Do you think God is Almighty?' 'Yes, God is Almighty. God is everywhere, he can do as he wishes.'
According to them God was a male. They called him Father. They never said that God could be a called Mother.
'If he is the Father, then why are we suffering? Why do we have pain? I know that a very ordinary father will not eat, if he sees his child suffering with disease or pain. He will feel the pain of the child. Until the child is cured, that father cannot relax. How do you think your Father will feel knowing all of his children are suffering? Do you think he can rest in peace?'
As soon as the men heard my answer they whispered to other saying that I was a difficult person to convert. However, they found an answer.
'It is Satan who makes us suffer.
''I accept your idea that it is because of Satan we are suffering. God doesn't make us suffer, only Satan can,' I replied. ' So then, who created this world?''God.''Who created Satain?''God.''Who is responsible for our suffering if God created Satan?'Satan is speaking through you.
They never bothered me again.
This is an example of what I call religious madness. They came to convert me, but truly what are they trying to convert? If a person is already following Catholicism and a Jehovah's Witness has come to convert, what happens next? They are making a person chance from one small box to the next.
Islam is also an example of religious madness. It is important to mention that it is unfortunate that all the terrorists are Muslim.
Osama bin Laden said that the whole world should be Muslim. Imagine if the whole world became like him. We will go back to the Stone Age. These Muslim terrorists have given their own religion a bad name. Why? There is a saying that if one fish dies in a small pond, it spoils the water of the entire pond. These Islamic terrorists, Jihadists, are ruining the name of good Muslims. There are good people too among them.
The idea to convert religions is religious madness. Converting is not good. Converting doesn't make people become better.
Those who are religious and do not convert are better people. By converting from one religion to another, religious madness does not go away. If you want to convert I will give you an idea. Convert a person's heart. Make a person good. Make him/her compassionate, non-violent, loving, and someone better in society. Change their heart, not their religion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNMhC3QlZj0
There's no need to convert their religion, convert their hearts.
