But thinking why did it or any of the other genocides in world history happened...I could only get an answer as there is definitely something seriously wrong in the moral/spiritual values as taught in the society...perhaps either the moral/spiritual teaching itself is wrong or the teachers are wrong......unless this is accepted/acknowledged and corrections are made its hard to give any useful correct directions for future generations.....
Yes Jesus said LOVE IS GOD and so many other spiritual teachers have said and lived their message but as I was once telling one of my friend that always the religious founders if they meet together they will all agree that each other message all the same but it seems all the religious followers are fighting over their misinterpretations of their founders..it reminds me of what I read Homage to YogaSwami '"What have you been up to?" Yogaswami asked her rather playfully.
"I've been to the Hindu temple in the neighborhood. It was so peaceful there."
"You mean that stone temple?" asked Yogaswami laughingly. "You went to worship the stone gods in the stone temple! There is only one temple and that is the temple of yourself. And to find God you have to know this temple of yourself. There is no other temple. No one can save you!"
"What about Christ and Buddha? Can they not help us?" interjected the American lady. From her demeanor it was clear that her question was not motivated by a desire to elicit information but was rather the reaction to her wounded religious susceptibilities arising from Yogaswami's remarks."
"The Buddha and Christ saved themselves through their own efforts. Afterwards the priests got hold of the rubbish and propagated it. The priests played the fool. Each man for himself - in this spiritual business. Don't believe anyone who promises to help you. No one will help because no one can. Another may point the way but you have to do the walking."'
Einstein's word on 'Goal is to raise spiritual values' is missing in many education or if religion is taught in societies its really not from heart but from lips or as they says its superficial and has little impact or in some cases its taught in wrong ways that people begin to hate religion it
Many a times I had difficulties in expressing why every dust in India is sacred as Swami Vivekananda mentioned as he was about to return to India...but I guess for those who knew world dark histories that existed and when Swami Vivekananda said in Chicago, 1893 world religions of parliament 'I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."'
These lines should express clearly why every dust in India is sacred...India needs to be strong only to protect the rest of the world with its moral/spiritual duties/responsibilities about which Swami Vivekananda spoke...
But certainly one should accept that world including India(Read on India's duty to world from Swami Vivekananda or Deivathin Kural of Kanchi Mahaswamigal) failed in stopping what should have never happened here...
