Indeed we brought a new religion. Yet, it is the same path that all the true saints and true heroes followed. This path got lost every time and its followers were a small group who scattered across the earth and the knowledge was lost and forgotten.
But the source of this wisdom is an ever present power, it is behind everything. Like a mighty ocean constantly tossing its waves of knowledge and inspiration into the realm of this universe. So the knowledge of the pure religion and true path reaches the heart of the pure and just. Yearning and search leads to the pure religion (Pakdini), and its achievement leads to peace and confidence. It is with this confidence that we proclaim this new yet ancient religion.
What is this religion? Who is the God of this religion? Our God is not a dogma to believe, but a source of power, inspiration and deep insight. Our God does not put us under the blind obedience of some blind priests, but instead puts us above them, It gives us power to overturn their power, and to overturn any oppressive force.
The ancient myth talks about a mystic dragon who shatters the force of darkness. The dragon itself lives in the hidden, in a place called mount of Ghaf. It is the location of no location and the land of no man. But when oppression arises, when evil forces take over, when just men fail and the cry of the orphan rises in every corner then the dragon will come and devour the oppression.
Many just and holy men went in search of this dragon and its mysterious power and found it. And through its power and potency they rose against the oppressor of their time. They became that dragon themselves and the iron fist that obliterates the injustice was theirs.
It is a real force, a real reality. It gives us power, motivation, and maps in our mind a path to eternity. The effect of this force on the soul is an urge to virtuousness, it is an immediate realization of one's mission in life to establish goodness and justice. It gives motivation and also the power for it, it shows the path and also its end.
It's a living force, not a blind physical force. We talk to it, hold on to it. It looks at us, It visits us. It throws a hook to bail us out. We feel its mystical presence everywhere. When at the battle of life, our battle for goodness, the dragon is near us, its many arms are outstretched to protect. Like a mother who holds her children, the Mother of the universe will hold us. Nothing can harm us now.
It was through this protection that heroes of the old defeated their much more powerful enemies. When the hero struck the wolves and lions with their swords and cut them in halves it was not by the force of muscle, it was by the force of goodness and good intention surrounding them. It was by this mystical force.
With this force today we cut the oppressors in halve and their armies will be scattered like chaff in the wind. This is the God we talk about. This is the God we worship. Our worship is to follow our mission in life. The mission is chosen by God for each person, and is written in the warp and weft of his destiny. This is our religion, our new religion which is as old as these oceans and mountains.
