The Founder Grand Master Dasira Narada teaches that nowadays, there are many changes in the world. The advancements of science and technology are transforming the earth. Many communication tools have enabled people around the world to meet or see each other easily. Perceptively, the ocean is just like a small river, a huge mountain is just like a small hill. These physical barriers are no longer separating people. It is time that mental barriers be abolished as well. The ultimate purpose of U.H.B.E. is to help humankind broaden its outlook on life, to understand one another and start working together to bring the world towards unification. Religion should harmonize and unify people. Unfortunately, for so many centuries and millenniums, religions have been used to rationalize conflict, discrimination, and separation.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that conflict and discrimination are caused by people not by religion itself because all religious founders or holy figures are messengers of The Supreme Being. They come to this world at different eras to educate humankind, and to facilitate the evolutionary process. Although religions are different in terms of form and rituals of practice, they all come from the same origin and share the same goal. The goal is to help humankind evolve and catch up with the evolutionary cycle of the universe. People’s minds are usually covered with a shield of mental darkness; therefore, they cannot see the connection and similarity among the Messengers. They think that these Holy Figures are in opposition to one another competing to win the respect of the general public. People think that followers of one religion cannot pay respect to other religions. They do not realize the fact that spiritual teachings of all Holy Messengers come from the same origin, bear the same truth, hence never oppose each other. Actually, the conflicts come from the followers who lack clarity of mind to clearly understand the teachings of the Messengers.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that one should not use his ordinary knowledge to judge the sublime authority of the Holy Figures. Depending on the demand and intellectual level of the people in each era, the Supreme Being has sent many Messengers to the world to guide and improve the spiritual level of humankind on the evolutionary journey. The Messengers often come at the time when society is in chaos, moral conscience is degrading, spiritual quality is corrupted, and people are trapped in an ocean full of selfishness, vengeance, violence, and anxiousness. The Messengers come to the world with their divine teachings, which have the power to transform those who wish to cultivate and ascend spiritually. The Ultimate truth and Laws of Social Order, which the Messenger teaches, are always in response to the demands of humankind at each period in history. Therefore, the Messenger who takes the sacred mission during a particular era would have to contemplate in depth to find an appropriate method to teach and guide people to the higher spiritual planes of the most glorious dimensions.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that He has the sacred mission to help humankind in this 21st century. This is the period when people are facing tremendous suffering and misery. The Founder Grand Master has contemplated in depth and found a preeminent meditation technique, for the purpose of guiding humankind towards spiritual cultivation to rediscover their true identity, bringing forth the sacred essence of the soul. As a result, practitioners will be able to discern the true-untrue aspects of life, lead a meaningful life, and eventually find a path of liberation for themselves and for others.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that disciples who have devoted themselves to follow His path of serving humankind must take the responsibility to protect and develop U.H.B.E. meditation centers. Each center must be built on the foundation of altruistic love, and every activity must be based on the principle of equality and mutual respect for one another. All U.H.B.E. instructors, center leaders and advanced disciples who have the responsibility to convey His teachings to the public must learn the dharma thoroughly in order to have the ability to help and influence people in the best positive way. Disciples who dedicate themselves to follow the path of the Founder Grand Master must not behave or act like ordinary people. Instead, they must think, behave, act, and endure extraordinarily. In so doing, the disciples deserve to be His true followers. He will bless our work. We will be able to blend into His dimension and receive direct guidance from Him to serve humankind more effectively.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that there are many types of people with different opinions in each center, the director of the center, as a spiritual leader, must learn to harmonize and unify these differences. In order to fulfill this task, they must have an objective mind to analyze matters thoroughly. They must use inner wisdom to distinguish right from wrong and to make appropriate decisions following the guidelines of U.H.B.E. discipline. When a center’s leader lacks a clear conscious mind to judge a matter appropriately and does not understand the goal of U.H.B.E. discipline, the center’s leader will take the discipline into the wrong path not planned by The Grand Master. In this way, the center’s leader will hinder the evolution of others and face the consequences according to the Law of Karma.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that Holy Beings are always in control of the ‘Wheel of Evolution’, which guides humankind back to the Original Wholeness. U.H.B.E. members must sacrifice their personal interests and contribute a helping hand in accordance with the Holy Messengers driving the evolutionary progress of humankind. In order to accomplish this task, disciples must act on the principle of moral harmony. Harmony in this context is not just a terminology or simply moral advice. It should have a deeper meaning based on the foundation of spiritual philosophy and transcendental wisdom.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that disciples who aim to reach the state of moral harmony must possess a transcendental wisdom. With this extraordinary consciousness, disciples will be able to see the universe, human beings, and all creatures as an inseparable totality. In His poem “The Truth”, The Founder Grand Master said: “You give general happiness to all. And you lead everyone in the same direction. You realize that all are one. And reach the level of the sages.” Although the physical appearances of men differ from each other, their inner-selves are manifested from Absolute Oneness and that Oneness is The Supreme Being. Any spiritual practitioner who lacks wisdom to clearly understand this fact is using his ordinary mind to view himself as a separate entity, the ego. The ego is full of worldly desires, selfishness, and darkness of the mind. It is this egoism that obstructs the connection between the individual and The Supreme Being. It causes conflict between human beings. It turns us into heartless creatures who are unable to feel the vibration of love and unable to live in harmony with all beings.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that the awakened sages perceive time and space as inseparable. Past, present, and future interact continuously and infinitely. The world and everything within are controlled according to the law of action and reaction. For example: north is facing south, east is facing west. There is birth, there must be death. There is light, there must be darkness. The forces of action and reaction form everything. Nothing can stand and survive by itself. The nature of the universe is a wholeness, a harmonizing interaction. Therefore, those who harmonize with the surroundings endure and evolve; those who create conflict with the environment lead themselves and others to destruction. Disciples who wish to evolve to the next level of sainthood must understand thoroughly the principle of moral harmony based on the foundation of wisdom. Those who take this principle lightly and only understand it superficially will never be free from human suffering, despite a thousand lives of cultivation.
The Founder Grand Master teaches that to reach the state of moral harmony, disciples must first have a sense of equality. An egalitarian mind is never bothered by selfish competition or calculating ways that usually lead to conflict. Secondly, disciples must have a kind heart because it is the motivating force that nourishes selflessness and unconditional love for humankind. Without love, wars and conflict will continue. In short, UHBE disciples who wish to achieve moral harmony must possess the quality of equality and a true love for humankind. These are the most essential attributes disciples must aim to develop in order to build a harmonious world of Oneness.
