Modern movies often glamorize destructive tendencies

August 9, 1987

This flow of electricity is available to you for your good, and not for your destruction. But what has happened today is, that using [of] this electricity for your destruction. I remember about, say, thirty, forty years back, or even earlier when we saw the films, they were not coloured films, American films were beautiful films with substance in it. They wouldn’t show one married man running after another married woman. None of these stories. Very pure form of beautiful family life. Everything nourishing was shown. We don’t hear of any such thing where they showed evil winning over. Now you find they show a thief, and the thief becomes the hero. Then the people see those films, and the children, specially I’ve seen, have that thief as the symbol of something great. So they are going against the Void completely, against the religion that is within us, absolutely!

The thing that was to nourish the Void, the one that was to sustain you in your valencies, is now disturbing the Void completely. That’s the maya part of it. The same electricity which was to give you the right path, the light in the darkness, is now sucking you in like a magnet towards your destruction.
