Preventing the Catastrophe
Excerpt from PREVENTING THE CATASTROPHE
GURURAJ ANANDA YOGI: For many years now, I have been speaking (about a period) from the year 2000 onwards, 2020 to 2050, (in which) there will be man‑made destruction; not destruction by natural causes, but by unnatural causes. Technology has reached so far that there are so many inventions in this world today that have been suppressed. (But this) technology has not advanced man’s evolution. That is why meditation and spiritual practices are necessary to open the heart of man, which is filled with love. I do not deny (the importance of) mental development, but today the world is very intellectually and mentally orientated. The concentration is mostly on the mind and on technological devices. But if the heart is opened and through meditation and spiritual practices, one reaches the Kingdom of Heaven within, then the mind can be flooded with the love that is within man.
A combination of mind and heart can take place, so that the heart can be the governing factor and the boss of the mind, and will not allow the mind to pursue the destructive tendencies it has.
This will be the result of a) general tendency. How can it be prevented? We are in the midst of a very crucial period, in which humanity must decide how to avert this tendency. That is the purpose of our foundation. It is to open through meditational and spiritual practices the latent goodness that is in humanity so that it can permeate the mind and direct these mental energies to a constructive purpose rather than a destructive one. Technology can be dangerous if it is not combined with a quality of the heart. The purpose of our organization is to open the heart of humanity; to open up the love that is within us, and spread and share it with our fellow human beings. That is our purpose; therefore, we encourage people to meditate and do their spiritual practices.”
