[00:00:00]In front of a temple I saw a bunch of people. They held a goat and they killed it in front of the goddess with great pride and joy. The goddess doesn't empower them. The goddess is not on their side. Not at all.

[00:00:14]The goddess hates all this. Every sentient being is her child. It is the crowd that's cheering on the murderers.

[00:00:23]Yes, yes, yes, come on, do it. Come on, do it. This is real worship of Devi if you can save her kids.

[00:00:36]So while going somewhere with my parents uh in front of a temple I saw a bunch of people. They held a goat and they killed it in front of the goddess with great pride and joy. And they say that people shouldn't uh do anything bad to animals or anything during festivals.

[00:00:55]But in front of the goddess you're doing this. So do you think this is logical and how should I spread awareness about this?

[00:01:03]>> Beta, they are not doing it in front of the goddess really.

[00:01:07]You know?

[00:01:09]They're doing it in front of a crowd.

[00:01:12]And it is the crowd that empowers them to do this.

[00:01:18]The goddess doesn't empower them. The goddess is not on their side.

[00:01:23]Not at all.

[00:01:25]The goddess hates all this.

[00:01:30]Hm?

[00:01:31]The goddess is what we call as the big mother.

[00:01:36]The universal mother.

[00:01:38]Bari Ma.

[00:01:42]Every sentient being is her child.

[00:01:47]Obviously you know what she thinks about all these uh animal slaughters in the name of religion.

[00:01:53]So it's not that the goddess has allowed this or the goddess likes this. The crowd has allowed this.

[00:02:00]All these things happen in front of crowds.

[00:02:05]And it is the crowd that's cheering on the murderers.

[00:02:12]Yes. Yes. Yes. Come on. Do it. Come on.

[00:02:14]Do it.

[00:02:17]Therefore, if you want to stop it, it has to be a thing of mass awakening so that the crowds are no more on their side.

[00:02:30]They don't have any any inner integrity.

[00:02:36]If you make them stand alone, they will shiver and drop.

[00:02:40]They stand on the crutches of the crowd. Take away the crowd and they will fall.

[00:02:47]They are not people who can go solo.

[00:02:48]They are not individuals.

[00:02:52]They don't have any inner moral or ethical or religious locus. They have none of it.

[00:02:59]All that they have is 2,000 people behind their back. And it is this backing that empowers them.

[00:03:09]Therefore, mass awakening is the only solution.

[00:03:15]You have to take away the crowd.

[00:03:17]Are you getting it? Which means you have to talk to at least 10 20 people just like this.

[00:03:23]Each one of us has to talk so that the crowd thins down.

[00:03:29]And that's what the goddess also wants.

[00:03:33]This is real worship of Devi if you can save her kids.

[00:03:39]Getting it? So, talk just as you spoke to me.

[00:03:43]At every possible forum, ask these questions. These uncomfortable inconvenient questions, they must be asked. And you'll find there are so others who still have some innocence left.

[00:03:55]And they will listen.

[00:03:57]And they'll they'll propagate.

[00:04:00]Right?

[00:04:01]The message needs to go far and wide.

[00:04:07]Are we getting it?

[00:04:09]Each of us feels lonely in this pursuit.

[00:04:12]We think, "But you know, all of them are alone. I'm too." No, no, no, you're not alone.

[00:04:17]You're not alone.

[00:04:19]In fact, it's quite possible that you are in the majority. Just that they are organized and you are not.

[00:04:26]So, even if they are in a smaller number, they still appear very large because they're an organized mass.

[00:04:35]They're an organized mass. And then here you sit not knowing each other, not communicating with each other.

[00:04:44]Thinking that all of it is just an individual matter. No, it's not an individual See, it is an individual matter when you are liberated enough to be an individual.

[00:04:54]Given the way we are, if we are afraid of others, then we also need the support of others. That's the test.

[00:05:03]As long as you are somebody uh who feels afraid of others, you must also be somebody then who must actively build the support of others.

[00:05:18]Which others?

[00:05:20]The right ones.

[00:05:22]The truly religious ones.

[00:05:27]That is the need of the hour.

[00:05:31]Otherwise, even a 5% determined organized minority will capture the scene.

[00:05:44]Yeah?

[00:05:46]Yes.
