The Cause of Global Instability or Insecurity Today, world religions of different names such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity Islam, Sikhism and Bahaism. I perceive all these listed world faiths as perfect religions . They are susposed to propagate the communal message of human unity, global stability, security , accomplishment, satisfaction and concrescence. Yet why is the world becoming less stable, less secure, less happy and full of suffering? Anyone of aforementioned world religion or faith can be learned with easy access with the establishments of so many temples, monasteries , churches, mosques , schools ,colleges , universities and learning centres and also the cyber knowledge bank of internet, the largest electronic library in the world. Paradoxically, we are susposed to obtain stability, security, unity, happiness and prosperity. But we have failed to actualize these goals set after such huge investment outlays in promoting religious education and training globally by all nations of the 21st century. Why does such a paradoxical outcome occur ? This is the crucial issue with which I am deeply concerned to address in Buddhist calling. All my religious or spiritual writings in both proses and verses are focused centrally on this crucial issue of mankind obtaining unity, stability, security, happiness and concrescence through right view of religion. Some of my facebook readers may have captured my hidden agenda . They are grateful and appreciate for what I have been transmitting. Yet many of them are not brave enough to endorse the paradoxical message of Truth that I have been transmitting because of the fear of potential social persecutions by the religious political and economic fanatics or extremists or authorities back in their own countries. I would like to reveal the X Factor that conditions the on-going human perversion. The X-Factor is that traditionally, a contemporary religion is being taught through a pedagogical model of a conventional teaching (sammuti desana) of Truth based on the conceptual or intellectual mind. Paradoxically, the complete Truth that is to be taught can not be known nor seen through concept or intellect. The complete Truth is only taught through ultimate teaching (paramattha desana) guided by intuition or insight but not by conceptual nor intellectual pedagogy. The gap between the head mind and the Heart mind divides the secular world and genuine spiritual gurus. Enlightened gurus are usually socially, economically and politically persecuted . Therefore , enlightened gurus are usually every silent in their their solitary lives. They are staying aloof and dispassionate from the world of concept and intellect if they can. They resign into deep caves or hermitages on high mountains in union with the white clouds. Active gurus are only teaching conventionally. Even Buddhist mindfulness meditation is being taught conventionally. Students are learning conventionally and not ultimately. How could the world be stable, secure, united and prosperous when we learn only the half religion of incomplete Truth?
