HUMANITY VERSUS RELIGION AND GOD.
All religions teach great things. But are these followed by humans If so why there are religious wars and clashes and killings in the name of religion. There seems to be something wrong with human undertsanding. There is need to review the present situation and come to a suitable conclusion to save humanity.
Galileo, an astronomer stated that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which is a star. As a result he was ordered to be burnt alive by high priests of Christianity for which the present Pope apologized. This act is against the teachings of Bible. When such high priests are not following Christianity, how can an ordinary man follow it. Every religious person feels that their own religion is great without understanding the other religions, leading to religious clashes.
There is some great effort by some saints of India to the effect that all religions are almost the same and teaches about one supreme God, the Creator. The book 'Auto biography of a YOGI' by Paramahansa Yogananda is one such effort. There are several quotations from the Bible as well as corresponding quotations from Bhagavad-Gita. Also the book 'The Holy Science' by Gnanavathar Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri is a good attempt to teach that all religions are the same.
We have to analise the secret behind all religious prayers. All religious prayers work. What is behind the prayer. One is the generation of thought force. The other one is the belief in God. Though no one can exactly define what God is, the generation of thought force is very clear. "The stream of knowledge," Sir James Jeans writes in 'The Mysterious Universe' " is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine." It looks as if thought force is the operating system of human life. My experience proved it to be true.
In this connection some quotations from the book Autobiography of a YOGI', as given below may enlighten human understanding.
"The vedic scriptures declare that the physical world operates under the fundamental law of MAYA (the influence of SATAN), the principle of relativity and duality.God the sole life is Absolute Unity; to appear as the separate and diverse manifestations of a creation He wears a false and unreal veil. That illusory dualistic veil is MAYA. ------ To remove the veil of MAYA is to uncover the secret of creation. He who thus denudes the universe is the only monotheist. All others are worshiping heathen images. So long as the man remains subject to the dualistic delusions of Nature, the Janus-faced MAYA is his goddess; he cannot know the one true God."
"The law of miracles is operable by any man who has realized that the essence of creation is light.-----
"Let there be light! And there was light." (Genesis 1:3 of Bible). In the creation of the universe, Gods first command brought into being the structural essential: light. On the beams of this immaterial medium occur all
divine manifestations. Devotees of every age testify to the appearance of God as flame and light. "His eyes were a flame of fire" St. John tells us --- and his countenance was as the Sun shineth in his strength." ( Revelation 1:14-16 of Bible.)
Also the following quotations from the book ' The Holy Science' may also be useful for human understanding.
"Life and death come under the control of the yogi who perseveres in the practice of PRANAYAMA. In that way he saves his body from the premature decay that overtakes most men, and can remain as long as he wishes in his present physical form, thus having time to workout his karma in one body and to fulfill (and so get rid of ) all the various desires of his heart. Finally purified, he is no longer required to come again into this world under the influence of MAYA, Darkness, or to suffer the second death. See 1 Corinthians 15:31, and Revelation 2:10, 11."
"Love is God. -----If this ruling principle naturally implanted in his heart, he is sure to be on the right path, to save himself from wandering in this creation of Darkness, MAYA."
In principle it appears that the thought force is the operating system of human life and all religious prayers lead to the generation of thought force only and hence the prayers work wonders. Ancient Maharishis of India realized this power of meditation and meditated in Himalayas for years together and achieved great powers. Perhaps they introduced religion as a method of generating thought force for the benefit of human beings. Since the basic principle of all religions is the same, one should understand it clearly and should not criticize other religions. By doing so one may lose the power gained by faith in his own religion as he is criticizing the basic principle of his own religion. This type of right understanding may lessen religious clashes.
One more thing that I have clearly observed is that there is a definite relationship between human life and the planets, stars
in the sky. I have tested the same with one in million probability (not 1 in 2 or 50% probability). Somewhere I have written that "The sky is the language of God".
The life and creation is very complicated to understand so easily. Nobody knows why and how the creation took place. But we know by observation some facts and guidelines to be followed. A scientist wants to know several secrets under creation. Due to generation of this thought, he is blessed with some discoveries.
When we ask for God gives us, though we do not know what God is. This is an endless process. Discoveries will follow one after another. Whatever it may be one should know how to respect other human beings and other religions for the sake of humanity.
