Religion of God loVers

Religion of  God loVers

Religion is misunderstood to mean only dogmas, doctrines, books and rituals. And in this sense, there is more of religion today, than ever before. We have built walls of separation around ourselves. We have turned our back on the larger picture and we tend to get embroiled in narrow situations, engaging in violence and brutality.  In the name of religion, we are fighting with our fellowmen rather than bonding together in positive ways.

Human-created differences such as caste, creed and religion can be removed by only one means, by love for God. Those who love God do not belong to any particular caste, creed or religion.

Rise above our baser instincts.

Give up lust and rise above our baser instincts.

NeVer quarrel over religion

 Never quarrel about religion. All quarrels and disputations concerning religion simply show that spirituality is not present. Religious quarrels are always over the husks. When purity, when spirituality goes, leaving the soul dry, quarrels begin.” Talking about spirituality, it is said“Each soul is potentially divine. The goal of life is to manifest the divinity within. Do this either through work or worship, psychic control or philosophy, by one or more or all these, and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, books, temples and forms are but secondary details.”

Teachings of religion

 Every religion teaches us :-

To rise above baser nature through practice of sense control and sacrifice;

To be humane by increasing the compassion and brotherhood quotients 

And strive to become divine by manifesting love and experiencing oneness with the whole universe.

Eternal facTor:Love

Unable to communicate with our fellow-beings, we are trapped in the vicious circle of desire, struggle, jealousy, greed and misery. We have created walls of fear and hatred because of the psyche of separation, on the basis of certain physical or social factors like language and skin colour. By allegiance to a particular religion or “ism”, we have digressed from the very purpose of religion, which is to strengthen universal bonding and establish harmony. Faith in all these temporary things have robbed us of that eternal factor, love.

HELPING OTHERS: THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

 HELPING OTHERS: THE PURPOSE OF LIFE


Happiness begins from the moment you do something for others. Those who consistently help others, are happy, and do not come across any obstacles in their lives. 

The purpose of life is to serve others. However, when doing so, you should not expect something in return; your intention should be to lessen other people’s misery.

 “Service to others should be sincere and done from the heart; only then it is fruitful.” 

Do any trees eat their own fruit? No.

This teaches us that human beings should not only use their mind, body and speech for themselves, but also to serve others. When you do this, nature in turn will reward you.

Your constant inner intent should be towards helping others. If you are unable to do so for any reason, you can also make sure that you do not hurt anyone. This is an indirect way to help those around you.

Life is meant for practicing benevolence

Life is meant for practicing Benevolence


Life is meant for practicing benevolence and serving others. The deepest science behind this is that when one uses his mind, speech and body for serving others, he will have everything. 

What if you were to charge a fee for your services?

 It would create difficulties.They charge a fee in the courthouses. When they charge for their services, the laws of benevolence towards others are not applicable for them.

But a person has to make a living, surely.

Do not think about your daily needs at all. You will not encounter any obstacles in your life if you Help Others in any way. 

People do not understand the science behind this. 

When a person begins to serve others with only half the understanding, he is rewarded with a contrary result and, therefore, he loses faith in serving others. 

If one were to serve others now (in this lifetime), he will reap the rewards of that service within two or three lifetimes. This is the very 'Science'.

liberation superior than the path of service to humanity

How is the path to liberation superior than the path of service to humanity? 


If you ask a person who serves humanity what he is, he would tell you that he is a humanitarian.


So to say, 'I am a humanitarian and I Help Others,' is egoism, but if I ask this man here who he is, he would tell you that, 'For the world I am 'Chandubhai,' (Name of a person) and, in fact, 'I am a pure Soul." To say this, is the absence of ego.

The ego of a humanitarian is for a good cause, but it is ego nevertheless.

If one's ego is for a bad deed, he would be called a devil! 

And if the ego was for a good cause, then he would be called a divine person. 

Ego is ego. 

Ego makes one wander aimlessly, life after life. A person can experience liberation, right here, the moment his ego is gone.

To Know 'Who am I' is the Ultimate Religion
