Today man has completely forgotten
the main objective of his religion
- to apply spiritualism in every
field of life. Reality is that the
real spirit has left and only the
skeleton of religions remain. People
have developed hatred for others
and that is why the religion, which
was founded to purify and free the
soul, serves only to imprison it.
Do not forget that man came first,
religions were instituted later
on. Man was not made for the sake
of religion, but religions were
founded to help man so as to realize
God and thus attain the ultimate
bliss.
Some five hundred years ago there
was no Sikhism, thirteen hundred
years ago there was no Islam, two
thousand years ago Christianity
was not in existence and three thousand
years ago there was no Buddihism,
five thousand years ago there was
no Krishna and before Traitayuga
there was no Rama and so on. But
the mankind exists since the very
creation and will remain till the
end of this universe however these
religions for which we are taking
blood of each other may not remain
so long. Each religion was initially
instituted to achieve same goal
and basic spiritual core of all
these was the same.
Since the soul - the inner-most
essence of man, is a particle of
the same lord, hence people believing
in any religion are essentially
the same in each respect.
Founders of all religions have emphasized
that god is within us. But some
priests who came after these enlightened
founders were not capable enough
to help people to go inside and
realize the Lord within. Hence they
have successfully externalized the
true religion (path) and began to
exclusively emphasize the outer
rites and rituals which clearly
differ from one religion to another
because of differences in languages,
customs and manners as well as the
social, historical and geographical
character of the land where-from
these religions originated. As a
result, people give undue importance
to specific names of god in different
languages, and to the external places
of worship constructed by men in
different shapes and styles. Today
we have totally forgotten that the
Supreme Lord is not limited to any
location or name. He is all pervading
and nameless.
The human body has been described
by the realized saints as the top
of the creation or the temple of
the living God. Today we have crossed
all heights of foolishness to such
an extent that we are destroying
these temples and mosques of the
living God (i.e. killing human beings)
But you must have seen that a
potter cannot tolerate if someone
destroys the clay pots made by him.
Similarly God will not forgive those
who destroy His own temples. By
doing so the killers are not pleasing
the God. Such killers are His culprits
and will certainly be punished by
His supreme law irrespective of
their religion. If we try to go
in to the depth of each religion
then we will conclude that each
enlightened founder of religion
has preached - love the nature,
love the mankind and love is the
ultimate name of Supreme Being.
Unfortunately, today our concept
of religion is indeed lamentable.
We approach without any hesitation
the outstanding physicians, scientists
and artists following different
religions for our worldly selfish
motives. In the same manner there
should not be any hitch at all to
respect and approach the true saints
irrespective of their cast and religions.
We are NOT following the teachings
of those very prophet/saints for
whom we profess others to follow.
In holy Quran also it is mentioned
that a true lover of God shows respect
to all the prophets mentioned in
the Quran as well as to those not
mentioned therein. However, even
then we regret to observe that the
followers of one sect are after
the blood of the others.
We are the children of the same
Father. So we should serve the mankind
in the best possible way and discard
all kinds of discrimination on the
basis of caste, creed and colour
and set our goal of God realisation
through Spiritualism. But spirituality
is a science which can only be caught
or experienced and not taught or
explained.
