Process of Transformation

 
Indeed transformation is possible only if you are only listening and not interpreting, listening and not making judgments, listening and not saying, ‘Yes, this is right; no, this is not right....”
You do not have to say anything. That is not the point of the whole process of transformation. The point is that you can be just a listener without any judgment. That prepares you for your meditation. In the moments of such listening the energy of the master works in you. My effort here is to take away everything that hinders your dignity to grow to its ultimate heights.
I want you to be freed from all these gods, religions and all these scriptures that have yoked you into a perennial slavery. I want you to live in a silent and peaceful freedom of being, in tune with existence, overflowing joy and blissfulness; gratitude and ecstasy.

 There is no question of worship at all and there is no question of any gods’ incarnation. In the first place the god does not exist himself. He exists only as totality and godliness. Totality is manifest and surrounds you. Only your eyes have become so opaque that you cannot envision. How can he have incarnations? It is just so obviously foolish. Hindus had ten incarnations before Mahavira. Their scriptures before Mahavira mention only ten incarnations, because of the ten fingers – to count more than that was a difficult job ten. And Hinduism is the most ancient religion.

Religion came first and mathematics came centuries later, so ten was the only ultimate number. So the number of Hindu Incarnations stuck at ten. One thing interesting has God lost interest in humanity that after ten there has been no more incarnation. What is the criterion for incarnation? Krishna says whenever there is decline of righteousness he incarnates again and again. What are the guidelines for the decline of righteousness and who is there to decide?
