Chapter 1348: Denying Religion and Reshaping the Sacred

No one answers such a question, because the answer to this question is actually very obvious. Even though they are 99 percent of the country, in reality, they know very well that the owner of the country is the remaining 1 percent.

This is a sad truth. What is even sadder, however, is that almost all Indians have become accustomed to all this. For them, this does not seem to be unacceptable. That's how their ancestors lived, and when it's their turn, they should live like this.

Of course, this is without making any comparisons. Lao Tzu said, do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality. The greed of the human heart does not allow comparison. Because once you compare, there will be a gap, and there will be harm. Without knowing the other party, you may also be able to comfort yourself by deceiving yourself. But once you have the facts in front of you, then you can't help but think about it that way.

Again there was a commotion in the crowd. Steve used his prestige to successfully arouse the desires in the hearts of these people. Of course, not all people are born with this kind of thought. India has been able to pass on their special system to this day, apparently with its own set of rules. So soon, one of the people stood up.

"Sage. I was a devout Buddhist before practicing your religion. The Buddha told us to learn to be patient. The suffering we suffer in this life is because of the sins we committed in our previous lives. As long as we are able to do good deeds all our lives and persevere in this life, then we will be rewarded in the next life. If this is the case, then why do we commit all kinds of sins in our already unfortunate lives, staining our hands with blood, and adding suffering to our future lives? ”

"In this life and the next life, the reincarnation of cause and effect?" Shaking his head, Steve's face showed a dismissive smile. "What do you think of Gautama. Under what circumstances did Siddhartha come up with such a theory? By what means does he dare to say that the suffering of man in this life is the price to be paid for the happiness of the next life? ”

"That's the Buddha, the Buddha who can see through the three lives and three worlds with great wisdom!"

The former Buddhists frowned and retorted word for word. And Steve's smile at this.

"The greatness of fate lies in the fact that no one can see through him. Think of King Ming, such a powerful deity, with so much power that it can almost overwhelm the entire world. But even he has said that he can see through the direction of fate and see through a person's three lives and three lives. If this is the case, then what qualifications can the so-called Buddha have to predict such a thing? If he could have prophesied this, why not use this power in his mission, in making life better for all? ”

"The Buddha just wanted the world to feel the suffering, to let go of the suffering. He is the Great Wisdom, the Great Enlightened One. He saw the truth of this world by wisdom. How can you be so sure that he doesn't have such a vision? Not so wise? ”

"I don't think I can convince you of me completely, my brother. But I can tell you what my point is! I will argue from three aspects about the different Buddhas in your and my eyes. ”

With three fingers raised, Steve began to tell his story.

"First of all, if he had such foresight, then why should he, as the prince of Kapila, watch his homeland be destroyed by King Biriri of the kingdom of Kapila, and watch his tribe trampled by war elephants, slaughtered by swords, and humiliated by enemies. Watching your hometown burn to the ground? If the Buddha really had what you call compassion, then why didn't he leave a way for his own people to live? ”

"Secondly, I once heard a saying that people are not plants and trees, and they can be ruthless. Let go, see through, impermanence, selflessness. If a person can do this, then what is the difference between it and grass, trees, mud and stones? Is such a person really worthy of being respected and worshiped by others? If such a divine appears around you, and is indifferent to your suffering, it will persuade you to let go of seeing through it, and let you realize that everything is empty. Would you be willing? Attachment is human nature, if you can't even do it, then can you still be considered a human being? ”

"Finally, karma. You often say that the fruits of this life are the karma of previous lives. As a prince, Shakyamuni's previous life should have been a lowly person who endured suffering. But is he? If he is, then why would he make such a gesture of pointing to the sky and pointing to the ground with one finger to show the supremacy of the self? And if he is not, then what right does he have to persuade those who are oppressed and humiliated to let go and endure? All sacred garments aside, Gautama. Siddhartha was only a Kshatriya nobleman after all. Do you really think that a Kshatriya will think about your interests and not for his own class? ”

With that said, Steve turned his gaze to the person who asked the question. Obviously, he is no longer good at arguing with words. This is the inevitable result of the confrontation between reality and myth. Myths are always hit by reality. And the funny thing is that even so, people are always willing to believe in false myths rather than real reality. Unless you put everything in front of him, and then open his eyelids and force him to witness all of it.

And now what Steve is doing is this, he is denying the original sacredness in the hearts of these people, and through this negation, he is distorting and transforming the original values and beliefs of these people. Of course, it's not easy, because it's one thing to distort one's values, and it's another thing to distort everyone's values. But fortunately, he has already completed most of it, and the rest is already fast.

Being a religion in his own right, Steve naturally understands the characteristics of religion. Deception is used to give people a way to escape from reality. This is certainly an approach, but it is also a hidden danger.

No matter how devout a believer is, he cannot afford a living divine to destroy another in his heart. Just like Shakyamuni's denial of Hinduism Brahma, those past sacredness would not stand up and confront Steve face to face, so he could say whatever he wanted, as long as he could make up his own statement and make it convincing. Then there is no problem at all.

Destroy, rebuild, and make yourself the only divine in the hearts of others. That's what Steve is all about. Of course, he didn't intend to do this kind of reconstruction by deception, and that didn't do him any good. For as long as a more authoritative thing comes into conflict with itself, then its own sanctity will be lost.

He chose an unbreakable reality, the path taken by the Red Soviet Union. Radical materialism will get rid of some ignorance and feudalism. And the people-centered values will also completely let these people, who have been ruled by feudal superstition for thousands of years, enter a new era. History has proven that this is not a market-free practice. All it takes is a new coat of clothing, and it can bring enough violent storms to this ancient country.

People's minds will awaken, and awakened minds will bring new desires. This is a desire that inevitably conflicts with the inherent class. Once a conflict arises, then war is inevitable. A spark can start a prairie fire, it burned half the world back then, and there's no reason not to believe that it won't burn more thoroughly today.

As long as they still have enough time.

Time, which is a very important factor. With enough time, Steve believes he can make the power they have now even stronger, double, triple, or even tenfold. At that time, they are truly fearless, and they can truly stir up the world.

It's a pity that they don't have time anymore. In fact, it is already commendable to be able to fight until now.

Hydra, who is never short of money, has enough eyes and ears in the Indian government. By the time Hagtel mobilized his forces, Steve had already heard the rumors. He originally thought that these things had been suppressed, and they had been postponed enough. But now it seems that his old friends are not willing to let him have a good time.

They have already launched an operation against themselves. Now, I have to respond to their actions.

With this in mind, Steve turned his gaze back to the believers below. They are reverent enough for themselves, and they are not lacking in thought and courage. They are reformed Indians. It is a different existence from the traditional Indians. He believed in their power, in the results of all the time he had been cultivating. So right now, he said to these people.

"My brothers, my sisters. I know the ancient myths of your kingdom. Brahma's mouth incarnated as a Brahman, which was used to narrate his sutra texts, and Kshatriya was Brahma's hand, taking wealth and holding the sword. Vaishyas are the thighs, walking hard, offering to the former. And the Shudra is the foot, touching all the filthy things. Your God has spoken this to you with His mouth for more than 2,000 years, and you have accepted it for more than 2,000 years. I know you've probably never thought about it before, but now, I think you should. ”

"Do you want to be like this forever, including your children and grandchildren, and always be a devotee, a slave? To be exploited by others, to provide for those who are on high above. Do you want to be a pariah forever, or do you want to try what it feels like to be your own master? Times have changed, and the world has long been different. You can do that, and now, we have given you the strength and the mind to do so. The point is, do you want to do it or not. ”

"The storm is coming, and your choices will determine you. What kind of people will it be in the future? ”
