Cultural Reflections

Jazz Bhairav Logo
In India, people know and thirst for knowledge.
In the West, no one knows anything, and no one wants to know anything.

In India, the most important thing is your spirituality.
In the West, everything is respectable except spirituality.

Say you've had mystical experiences,
and you'll be taken to the psychiatric ward just as Jesus was taken to the cross.

If an individual, by the depth of their soul, by birth, or by spiritual practice, by the practice of yoga, or whatever is able to go far beyond what society's programming allows and breaks the cage in which we are kept prisoners,

If an individual, by their devotion to God,
Whoever the God they have developed their Love for,
whether Shiva or Kali, Buddha or Krishna, Jehovah or Allah,

If an individual opens themselves to the mystical experience
so common in India and experiences Magic,

They will be automatically taken to the psychiatric ward,
destroyed, and discredited.

In the West, heroes are not allowed.
That's why they fear religion, Gods, the Soul, and Spirits.

In the West, it is pernicious to become one with God.
In India, being One with Shiva or being one with Krishna
is the driving force of existence.
