DRUGS It
is amusing to note that the Utopiates (LSD), Marijuana, etc.) for
producing hallucinations. You may
please note that spirituality is the science of the soul, which (the soul) is a
conscious entity in the body. The Way back to God as offered by the Masters is
one of developing inner consciousness with the aid of Holy Naam (the WORD). All
such like outer aids resulting in temporary hallucinations, as stated by you,
are certainly a mockery for the divine grace. You can well understand the vast
difference between having a conscious
and wide awake approach for proceeding within and that which makes recourse to
these outer aids which are no less than opiates creating some sensational
vibrations. You will recall that the observance of a strict dietary, by
avoiding all flesh food, intoxicants, and opiates, is a basic essential for
inner spiritual progress, for attaining a refined state of mind. We have to
develop consciousness the divine attribute of soul, and for the achievement of (inner) consciousness, inner
and outer piety and chastity are very much needed. The drugs are equally
harmful, and should be avoided, which dull the brain and cloud the mind with
vague feelings of distrust and confusion. You are advised to convey this piece
of right understanding to all the dear ones who are on the Holy Path and to
others who seek your counsel in this behalf. |
