Religious Beliefs

There is simply no connection between pursuit of knowledge and religious beliefs one follows! Pursuit of knowledge becomes necessary to earn a living! To spend the sojourn of 70 to 80 years on Mother Earth happily... it becomes imperative for human beings to gain knowledge... develop a career in the chosen goal of life!

Devoid of knowledge... the status of a human being remains that of a laborer... a daily wager! On the spiritual path... one needs diving deep into the bottomless pit of wisdom to unearth pearls of wisdom essential for spiritual upliftment! It is wisdom (aka jnana in Hinduism) and wisdom alone that is necessary on the spiritual and the religious path.

Religious beliefs of one stem from the beginning of life on Mother Earth. The moment we get born... we follow religious beliefs followed by the family... the parents! Religious beliefs in the initial stages of life are hereditarily passed to the child! One follows the religious beliefs sanctimoniously until one grows up.

At every stage of life one can switchover from one religious belief to another. Not necessarily one compulsively follows the family tradition. Religious beliefs are purely a matter of personal choice. None should force another to follow certain religious beliefs. One may take birth in Jainism religion and later on switchover to Buddhism! It is permissible and practically possible!

I was born in a Jain family. I still value Jaina religious beliefs. I have extreme faith in all the religious beliefs of the world. As much as I believe in Jainism scriptures, I also value Buddhists teachings. The sacred Quran... the Bible is as dear to me as the sacred Bhagavad Gita! My goal of life was reaching God Almighty in this very life... there was no reason to shun any religious beliefs whatsoever!

My religious beliefs... my being born in a Jain family was never an impediment to my learning the inner values of Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata! I value Bhagavad Gita as the supreme of all Wisdom existing on Mother Earth. There is nothing beyond Bhagavad Gita that is worth knowing. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all.

The moment I realized God in 1993... The essence of Bhagavad Gita became like ABC to me. Everything that was contained in Bhagavad Gita, the sacred Quran, Bible and all other religious scriptures became like ABC to me. I had reached the source of all Wisdom existing on Mother Earth. Gaining self realization was reaching the end of the cosmic journey!

Religion and hostility Religions are simply ways of life... following of the enlightened masters of the various era! Every religion stems from an enlightened master... never otherwise! Whenever one gains enlightenment and preaches the wisdom to the masses... one develops a following!

Religion and Science Religion primarily helps us keep a balance in life as a physical manifested being. We do not necessarily be religious in nature. We can simply follow the spiritual path. It is the field of spirituality that ultimately guides the destiny of a human being. What is right or wrong... must we given in or stand up and face the truth... how we shape our physical realm of life is all governed by spirituality. And what is spirituality?

Basis of Religion The root of all religions is Dharma (righteousness)... not faith! When not one religion existed on Mother Earth... the humanity still survived. How? Dharma is that inherent ingredient in the cosmic system which forms the sap of living form! Devoid of Dharma (righteousness) life simply could not exist on Mother Earth or in the Cosmos!

Religion and Evolution Every religion primarily is a following of an enlightened master. No enlightened human being would ever teach or preach anything that is wrong. Having reached the level of enlightenment... the soul atman within having gained its pure original pristine form... any impurities within an enlightened being is absolutely ruled out. It is only when the dross within removes completely... one gains enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)... never before!

Why a Religion The second path is lived by our physical manifest itself... the one prompted by our ego. This is where religion comes into play. As we live life as a member of the community... we need to follow certain rules framed by our religions masters. If all the family members go to a temple, church or a mosque on a particular festive occasion... it becomes imperative for us to follow!
