In my previous blogs I have
written that there is no difference between being spiritual and following a
religion
Most people perceive God as a kind hearted power that has taken care of them and will always be available to attend to their problems; they fail to see the suffering around them to realize that all are bound by their karmas and God does not have any favourites. That is why people like Jiddu krishnamurti said there is no God; what he meant was there is no God as people perceive him to be
Religion laid guidelines to
the righteous path, most suited for that particular race
The problem arises when people start believing that theirs is only the true path and their God only the true one; I rewrite what I have written in my previous blog—“There is wisdom all around; who is the source of this wisdom whereby all plants, animals are so wise; is it the Christian God, Hindu God or the Muslim God……”
Thinking is
Difficult, That's Why Most People Judge.
Carl Jung
When one has a religion,
one gets a God and with the package deal comes the devil (evil) which no one
wants to accept as their own faults , vices and short comings and hence the
blame on the devil. And some like the Christians & Muslims go a step ahead
and declare everyone as evil who does not belong to their religion. Opinions
& believes are formed, the mind no longer open but closed
I Would Rather Have
A Mind Opened By Wonder Than One Closed By Belief.
When your religion
and culture creates the sense of superiority over other faiths and culture, it
means that there is something wrong with its teachings or your perceptions.
True religion humbles us in front of others, irrespective of caste, creed and
lives on earth. Realizing truth shall humble you and not fill you with pride.
Quotes of Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa
"Lovers of God do not
belong to any caste."
"Never get into your
head that your faith alone is true and every other is false. Know for certain
that God without form is real and that God with form is also real. Then hold
fast to whichever faith appeals to you."
"Knowledge leads to
unity, but Ignorance to diversity."
“I practised each religion
for a time — Hinduism, Islam, Christianity. Furthermore, I followed the paths
of the Saktas, Vaishnavas, and Vedantists. I realized that there is only one
God toward whom all are travelling; but the paths are different.”
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
further said religions were specifically created to suit different regions;
this is true if you realize that every single action of GOD, including every
prophet chosen in the Qurán, Torah, and Bible occurred within the red circle
Even if you see the Hindu
religion all centre points like jyotirling and Shakti peeths are all located in
the Indian sub-continent.
Do not confuse the eternal
path—Sanatan Dharma with today’s Hinduism which is completely distorted and
full of debates. New religions founded as early as the 17th century
have been distorted and divided into various branches, so what can be left of
the Vedic religion was is as old as time itself; this has given rise to the
various God-men in India who have opened business houses in the name of
religion
Your beliefs don't
make you a better person, your behaviour does.
An example of the above Pope
John Paul II, did what the USA & NATO could not, he played a major role in
breaking up the USSR, he did that because the communist were atheist and hence
did not have a God, but the atrocities committed by the rulers of USA &
Europe who had a so called God are unmentionable

I was amazed to read that
one of the English Queens body guard went to Ukraine to fight since he thought
that invasion was not good, but did he realize that the Queen and her
ill-gotten wealth that he guards was acquired by plunder and mass murder,
England invaded so many countries, hence the phase “the sun never sets in the
British Empire” I call it the Queen’s guard paradox
I quote Pope Francis “It is
not necessary to believe in God to be a good person. In a way, the traditional.
Notion of God is outdated. One can be spiritual but not religious. It is not
necessary to go to church and give money — for many, nature can be a church.
Some of the best people in history do not believe in God, while some of the
worst deeds were done in His name.”
Pope Francis
We were all humans until
race disconnected us, religion separated us, politics divided us, and wealth
classified us
There are only two
races on this planet - the intelligent and the stupid. John Fowles ·
God has no religion

If you think
Christianity was never like radical Islam; you haven’t studied Christian
history
He who has the power
of turning all negative vibes in his path into positive energy has learned he
meaning of life
and i add that such a person does not require a religion
Common sense is not a gift,
it’s a punishment. Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn’t have it—hence
develop your intellect and think; do not come under the influence of the ones
who spread hate, be it religious leaders or political rulers
Lastly a joke: Eskimo: 'If
I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?' Priest: 'No, not if you
did not know.' Eskimo: 'Then why did you tell me?'
