Religion
& Spirituality
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.
