You have become mechanical in your religion; it is mere acceptance of authority.

There is no creative state of being, is there?
You are not happy, you are not vital, you are not joyous.
Intellectually, religiously, economically, socially, politically, you are dull,
regimented, are you not?

Only can be creative a mind that is alert, vital, a heart that is affectionate, full. (...)
There is freedom only when there is affection, when there is love.”

On the threshold of the terror of extermination camps, where the wardens were
torturing and assassinating with academic degrees and even Ph.Ds, a group of friends –
Jewish and Catholic, three women and one man- would meet to hear the stirring voice of
that Mystika/ Mysterion coming from the depth within.
And from that Heaven inside us –as Lord Jesus would say-, from that Brahman
at the core of our Atman –as Sri Shankaracharya would say-, the message of that
Mysterion or Mystika would stay for generations to come to open the doors of a new
world that lies inside each one of us:
- “ Be born, my child,
It is already possible.
There is a thread linking
the old existence to the new one.
Cut it, infant, free yourself.
Here, you are One with Him,
Here, you are Yourself.
What is empty, will be filled.
He who he seeks, will find.
The stone has been raised
towards the sky,
And Life has been trodden.
It is not what He has taught.
The stone will be thrown down,
And Life will be raised.
Every Cathedral becomes a grave
If we only announce the Word.
After the message of Joy,
Reality must come.
Rejoice, you are men!
You will become MAN.
Your task is to accomplish
this degree of being.
In the depth of the heart,
The dawn is raising.
Inside, we can already see it.
Outside, you only see the suffering
of the Earth.
There is only one suffering:
To be outside.
There is darkness only outside.
There is death only outside.
It is inside that there is Life.
70
Our task is the New World.
You must know
what is your destiny.
To recognize your task
Is to see
In its purity your individuality.
You do what you must do:
You transform yourself.
If you transform yourself,
Matter also
Has to transform itself.
Joy is the sign.
Joy is the air of the new world.
What is peace?
It is not the pause
between two wars.
Peace has never existed,
but it will be.
It does not look like anything old.
Peace is the new vibration.
Joy is infinite.
What is Nirvana?
There where two become One.
There where the parallels join.”
Quotations from one of the most beautiful, profound and inspirational
books in the history of mankind: “Die Antwort der Engel”, in the special German
version presented by Gitta Mallasz and published by Daimon Verlag in Einsiedeln,
Switzerland.
It has been translated into French as “Dialogues avec l’Ange” by Aubier, into
Spanish as “La respuesta del Angel” by Sirio, and into English as “Talking with Angels”
by Daimon Verlag. The original Hungarian text was also published by Daimon Verlag.

Our international campuses will adopt the famous saying of the great sage from
French Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne:
“Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l' âme.”
(Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul).
At the same time, our campuses will follow the most profound mantra from
Upanishads and Vedanta:
“Tat Vam Asi.”
(You are That).
Something that can never be imposed from outside –unlike the dogmas of human
organizations-; as Socrates taught, in total coherence with the discourses of Buddha, it
can only be discovered by ourselves within ourselves. For this, we will also adopt the
immortal saying inscribed on the Temple of Delphos in Greece:
“Know yourself, and you will know the universe and the Gods”.
So that, as the Buddhist Sutras would suggest, all the beings can be happy and
live in harmony, peace and unity.
Something that is at the core of the ancient Vedas from India already:
“Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu.”
(Let all the beings from all the worlds be happy).
Something that is renewed thousands of years later by Sri Sathya Sai Baba:
“True education is that which directs and counsels the mind and intellect of
man towards the earning of pure happiness.”
