The Importance Paradigm Of A Shift An Excerpt From A Lecture Given by Spiritual Master
The problem that people have here is that they have been raised through faith and belief. You think that if you chant or pray to your God that he will give you something. But these are things that this society has put on your path to distract you. They know that it will take your entire life to realize that it doesn't work..it will take your entire life to find yourself. So, while you are caught in this distraction, society uses your strength; society will exploit you. If one spends his time understanding how energy works and getting the real education, then society would not be able to manipulate or exploit you. So, they give people an easier way: close your eyes and pray for five or ten minutes... as long as you do the job they expect from you, they are happy, because they don't care about your survival.
