The problem is everyone has a different perception of God & Religion

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

Gandhi





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?'
