Two masters
A well respected guru has said that, if you don't fancy relinquishing your ego, it is possible for the ego to remain as the servant of God. Don't you believe a word of it! Try to serve two masters, and you will soon love the one and hate the other. Can the Devil remain as a servant of God? Or is he an impostor!
Religion and culture
The priests of today, those great wise men, knowingly proclaim that the material and the spiritual realms should not be regarded as separate, but as complementary. They say religion and culture must work together.
But I tell you, when spirit becomes entangled with culture, it is the end of spirit. Culture is too strong and wild an animal to domesticate. The priest merely tries to promote and justify his own worldly lifestyle, and the crude culture of his religion, by calling it spiritual.
