MAI-ISM

It is thus the greatest joy of the Founder of Mai-ism, Mai Swarup, that his work and universal love and service Mission has not only been appreciated by one of the greatest universal religious institutes but that both institute heads have practically been united to be the indispensable complements of each other.

As stated in the last correspondence, Maiji, with the grand patron, U. R. A., represents the great university of religious teachings whereas Mai-ism is for creating, developing and multiplying the divine love through the practical living of mutual love and service with morality and virtue, etc. What the world most indispensably needs today is the universal religion of wisdom and love. The first thing that Mai-ism sees is the greatest necessity of, picking out truly religious-minded, God-fearing men from the God-denying, religion rebellious persons and collecting the former together to create religious strong irreligion overpowering forces. This cannot be done till all the existing scattered religions instead of cancelling the benefitting works and creating conquering forces against each other, begin to see the wisdom of uniting all these now scattered) together. Custodians of individual religions have never shown any sympathetic attitude in this direction, by either working themselves or helping others towards the same goal. Unfortunately, they have not come out of their delusion and pride, namely, “theirs’s is the only best religion and the only one that can give salvation”.

The first easiest qualification that Mai-ism prescribes for being a Mai-ist is, whether you believe in God or not or if you do, which God, which religion, which philosophy, which guru, which temple, which worshipping mode, all these are only subsidiary matters for Mai-ism. It is enough that you have the universal outlook and you try your best to love and serve all that you have to deal with.

Mankind can be classified from the point of soul evolution as under, and Mai-ism is for lifting the sincerely aspiring follower from the lowest plane to the highest plane through successive ladder rungs.

First, we have the lowest standard of persons who only know how to keep themselves happy. They have no idea or belief in God or divine love or inward happiness on living a virtuous life or any considerations about life after death or answerability to higher powers of hell or heaven. They are of the “eat, drink and be merry” type. This class has only one goal in life, viz., how to attain maximum happiness and minimum misery in life, which is the only life existing or at best to be absorbed in.

They utilize all their available and applicable gifts, capacities etc., to the said purpose. Their action, speech, intention, trickiness, diplomacy, feet, hands, mind and head, their capacities and virtue and vice, even their invocation of spiritual or Godly powers are all dedicated to one supreme goal viz., how to become happiest principally in this world and in this life.

This class is dealt with under Mai-ism with the only said requirement of universally loving and serving any one that it comes in contact with, to the extent of one’s practicability. The Mai-ism tenet of universality or universal-mindedness, means for that class making no distinction of religion, country, community, etc. This is ample enough for that class. If people are brought to this much stage in daily living, there will be a great increase in peace and happiness of the whole mankind. This, therefore, is the most preliminary first step of Mai-ism.

Second, Mai-ism comes to the best man to man relationship. Here, one has to deal with virtue and character or in the words of Mai-ism, with the four “C’s”, namely, gratefulness, greatness, goodness and givingness. This second stage also requires and also includes developing self-control in the matter of wrath, lust, pride, greed and infatuation, envy, etc. and living the most harmless, virtuous and helpful, benevolent life. Here is the life-long practice of evolving oneself to better and better stages in developing one’s understandings, beliefs, convictions and masteries, as one has to pass through so many troubles, trials, temptations, tribulations and acid tests.

Third, stage is religious wisdom and divine knowledge. It is here that U.R.A. has helped the world immensely and can help Mai-ism most thoroughly. U. R. A. has the advantage of not only of the most intimate knowledge of all the eastern and western philosophies, but has also the upto-date knowledge of the occult and esoteric sciences of western, newly developed subjects, viz. psychology, spiritualism, hypnotism, clairvoyance, etc. U. R. A. has made immense sacrifice in the matter of spreading useful spiritual knowledge. Here, U. R. A., by its co-operation with Mai-ism can immensely enrich the devotional world and convince modern mind about the indispensability of God, religion, virtue, selflessness, etc. The new world wants everything made anew and requires first to be convinced before being asked to follow any instructions through mere blind faith.

The fourth stage is of course of religiosity consisting mainly of devotion with unconditional cheerful self-surrender known as “Godliness” in the six “G’s’ of Mai-ism after “givingness”.

The fifth stage in that of spirituality known as goingness in the “G’s” of Mai-ism. It is the final stage of self-mergence in the finalmost “The all and the only one”; call that “The all and the only one”

by any name – Mai or Fai or Mai-Fai or Fai-Mai under the parental conception or Hinduism Brahman in the impersonal, transcendental conception or any name of any religion which is based on and which develops the personal conception of God, or Mai of the Universal Religion of Mai-ism, who is above being He, She or It, above being personal or impersonal, above attributes and with attributes above any name or form, etc, Such a conception of God has been there with some few religions but it is confined only to some individual religion whereas in the case of the universal religion of Mai-ism, Mai is the god who is “The all and the only one”, above being He, She or it or above being personal or impersonal or above attributes and with or without attributes or above any or individual person, name, etc.

To explain Mai-ism in few words, it aims in its outermost crust at the synthesis of all religions and in its innermost crust at truest religiosity. Till now we have 12 principal religions. Let us conceive of them as palaces and that in each one of them there are 7 floors. Till now, each palace has acted in rivalry, hostility and hatred with all the eleven others. Maiism wants not only to establish unity amongst the 12 religions but wants to bring about harmony of the different indwellers of all the different 12 palaces and floors. To explain the matter clearly in terms of alphabets and numbers, let us think of the 12 religions as a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, and 1 and of the seven floors of each of them as al, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, and a7, or bl, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, and b7, etc. The present position is that neither a and b see eye to eye nor even al and a2 indwellers of the same palace (religion) but on different floors. Maiism wants to establish harmony not only between a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, and l or between al, a2, etc., of the same one religion, but also between the indwellers of the same numbered floor of all the palaces (religions), a to 1. Mai-ism does not ignore human nature, the most difficult task is the establishment of harmony between the indwellers of say the first floor and the seventh floor but maximum possible harmony can be achieved by appealing to the fact of both being of the same palace (religion), for instance between say, al, and a7 and appealing to the same fact of the stage difference of evolution and common happiness and miseries although falling in the different man-made groups of different religions.

Of course, this may look extremely idealistic and impossible. All the same, whatever efforts are made are never yet to go in vain, although it is true that the success is bound to be proportionate to the effort and sacrifice.

By God’s grace, we may reach the highest stage of evolution of the whole world although perfection will ever remain far distant and even impossible for all human beings. Anyway, individuals by themselves do fully realize the results of their individual desire, action, effort and sacrifice. Any effort in the direction of true religiosity has sound advantages. Firstly, not even the smallest effort or service or the good wish of pure and disinterested love to others goes unremunerated multifold Secondly, whatever you have gained in virtue, wisdom, love, devotion and self-surrender to Mai’s will is never lost unlike worldly gains and efforts, which would bring highest success at one moment and that success may turn into the worst miseries at another as we have often seen in the fluctuations of world wars, where the highest efforts, brains, militaries, etc., are putting their maximum intellects, activities and maximum sacrifices. Thirdly, the most mysterious and invisible manner in which the eternal never-failing divine law adjusts all conditions, environments, associations, relations and even destinies, including parentage, birth-place, etc., with fullest regard to what you really are, and on which rung of the evolution ladder you are actually standing on at a particular moment. The natural automatic result is that the higher you go by your efforts, so many miseries automatically cease to exist for you and so many new avenues are opened out to you. The most unfortunate fact is that we have no idea whatsoever, as to which miseries have automatically passed out of existence for us and which sources of happiness have been opened out to the religious aspirants, as they rise higher and higher. In a word, there is no going back

Mai bless all, especially the most conscientious religious aspirants and bring forth the strongest unity of U. R. A. and Mai-ism to outspread the universal religion of wisdom and love or of U. R. A.-Mai-ism or Fai-Maiism or whatever name one chooses for oneself.
