✧ The Reality of Storytellers (Katha-Vachaks) ✧
These days, most preachers are like parrots —
they read the scriptures, memorize them, and then recite them on stage.
But the problem is:
They don’t speak from their own personal experience.
They fail to understand the context of time and circumstances.
They don’t provide real solutions to today’s problems.

✧ Use or Misuse of Scriptures? ✧
Scriptures are a source of wisdom, but:
One must first live them, experience them, and digest their truth.
Only then should they be presented according to the needs of the time and society.
But preachers do the opposite:
They throw raw knowledge, like uncut stones from a mine, directly at the audience.
They neither solve problems nor clear confusion.
Instead, they fuel superstition and sectarian divisions.

✧ The Real Problems ✧
1. Promotion of institution and guru – preachers place their own lineage, sect, or institution above everything.
2. Spreading confusion – instead of solving, they sow fear, doubt, and blind belief.
3. Avoiding questions – if the public dares to ask, they simply escape by saying, “It is written in the scriptures.”
4. Lack of social responsibility – they stay silent on real issues like poverty, violence, stress, education, and family life.

✧ Why is the Public Silent? ✧
Fear – people are afraid to question anything done in the name of religion.
Habit – for generations, people have assumed “listening to sermons = being religious.”
Laziness – they don’t want to think, question, and understand for themselves.
---
✧ Conclusion ✧
Most sermons today are nothing more than clever speeches,
not true spiritual experience.
The real purpose of religion is to:
✨ remove confusion
✨ reveal truth
✨ awaken peace and love
But this is possible only when preachers:
First live and experience the scriptures themselves,
Then speak according to the needs of the time and society,
And when the public has the courage to ask questions.
