Religion – a way of devotion

Time has come when all the people on this earth must decide that they shall be having their religion, but they shall not allow religion to enter in their day to day life when then are dealing with people from other religions. They shall be reciting religious books of their own religion and they shall be following all the religious ceremonies, but they shall see that they are not interfering in the religious affairs of others nor they shall try to establish that their religion and its principles are better than the principles of another religion. They shall ensure that their religion is not standing in their way when they are dealing with people of other religions.

If we read and try to understand we shall come to the conclusion that life principles laid down in all the religious books of the world are telling us the same things, though in different languages and in different styles. There is nothing different in any of the religions and that is the reason, all the religions have accepted that there is one and only one God and all the people on this earth are children of the same God and therefore, though in different countries and in different form, they all are members of one and same family. they are not stranger to each other nor any religion says that it is the best religion on the earth and therefore, all the people in different religions should merge in that religion.

Since we have born in a religion and we have been brought up as per norms of that religion, we are having a right to follow those norms and principles till we are alive, there should be none on this earth who should be allowed to stop us from following our own norms. But time has come when we should try to individualize these norms to us and we may read and recite religious books of our own and we may pray as per norms prescribed, but religion should not go beyond that stage. All are our own people and therefore, when we discriminate, hate, kill or stop or convert someone to our own religion, we are not serving our religion, but we are insulting our own religion and we are actually committing a crime, a sin or a misconduct. We should live in this world as members of one family and time has come when we shall have to allow family bonds i.e. marriages between people of different religions. We shall be developing relations beyond friendship and we shall have to see that others are not feeling unsafe when they are with people of another religion.

It is very strange when people are dividing on the basis of religion and it is further strange when countries are being established on the basis of religions. We should be sorry to note that one section of people turning terrorists and the other sets of people are turning rioters. Both are killing the people who are also members of the same family.

Time has come when we should keep our religion as our individual concern and we should start thinking that no religion is in danger and no religion is having supper power and the minorities are their slaves. All are equal and we should see that this equality is maintained. We are heading toward one country and ultimately the people of the3 world shall have to unite in one country and time shall come when the people shall be having one religion and that shall be a common religion ‘humanity’ and we all shall become members of one family. That is the final goal and once that goal is achieved, this world shall become Heaven and none shall long for Heaven beyond this world.

religion
Dalip Singh Wasan asked:


Basics in all the religions are the same

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

The people who could conduct a survey of principles contained in all the religious books in the world have come to know that all the religions are having the same concepts about God. All the religions have admitted that there is one God. All the religions have accepted that all the people on this earth had been sent by God and while sending them on this earth God Himself wrote their luck and destiny and they enjoy and suffer as per these entries in luck and destiny and when the time prescribed is over the man is called back and then he is liable to give all his accounts before God and if his record is good he is sent to Heaven and if the record is bad, he is sent to Hell. All the religions believe that God never takes His birth nor He ever dies. All the religions believe that God is Omnipotent and Omnipresent and we cannot conceal anything from Him. All the religions believe that God sends some people to give guidance to this man and this rehearsal is repeated at the prescribed intervals.

People in all the religions believe that the people who enjoy life are availing of the benefits of their good work either in this life or in such a life in the past and the people who suffer are those who had not been good people either in this life or such a life in the past. All the religions are guiding us that we should suffer and do not make a complaint before God because God is giving us punishment and when we enjoy, we must believe that God is awarding us. They say that after each suffering, we face a happy occasion and after each happy occasion, we have to face a hard time. When we are suffering, our good days are standing at our doors and they shall be knocking very soon and we should wait for those good times. We have been told that all pairs are decided in Heaven and we just celebrate marriages on this earth. All the religions are telling us that we should lead a clean life and we should be truthful, sincere, faithful and we should not be a criminal, sinner or a person who commits misconducts. All the religions are advising us that we should live on this earth like members of one family because we are children of the same God and since we are placed at different places on this earth, therefore, the names and styles of our religions are different. Otherwise all the religions are giving us the same principles of life and if we follow those principles we shall lead a happy and prosperous life and we are on the wrong path we shall suffer.

We must be sorry to note that all the religious concepts and principles laid down for our guidance had been mis-interpreted by the man on this earth and that has been the reason that the man on this earth had been divided on the basis of different religions and they had been fighting just to establish that their religion had been good or better than the other. It is on record that they had been killing people in other religions or they had been trying to convert others to the fold of their own religion. All bad records are before us and therefore, we must admit that we had been in the wrong throughout in history and therefore, time has come when we should come on the right path because in this period of science and technology, if we fight, we shall destroy this whole earth. We should remain in peace and we should try to utilize all these blessings which science and technology are bring for use and we must try to establish Heaven on this earth. We must try to understand that all these fights amongst the religions shall destroy this earth which shall mean that whatever we have achieved in the past shall go out of our hands and we shall have to start once again from the stone age. We should go ahead and we should not go back. All this terrorism, all this imperialism, all these riots, all these wars are futile exercises and we must stop and concentrate on our development through the use of science and technology which have come to our hands.



religion
Dalip Singh Wasan asked:


Religion be a concern of individual.

Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

Time has come when we all should decide that our religion is our individual concern and we have got no right to talk to others on this subject. Religions had been created and established by man on this earth just to find out the methods of talking to God and in fact, originally all the religions were talking of prayers to God and nothing more. And when we consider the case of prayer, we come to the conclusion that prayer is our individual concern and it has got nothing to do with others. When we pray before God, we have got our own problems and we are praying for the solution of those problems and at rare case we are really paying for others. The people we hire to pray for us are not having any interest in our demands, they themselves are under troubles and therefore, they are not praying for the person who has hired them, but they are praying for the solution of their own problems and that is the reason the people who do not pray themselves and hire people are not successful people and their prayers do not reach God.

Religion had been a good concept till it had been an individual’s concern, but when it came out of the individual-bounds, it started playing havoc with the life of the people around them. We have seen that one group relating to one religion had been fighting against the other group of people having another religion and they had been killing each other. If we go deep in history, we find that people had been fighting on the basis of religions and it is on record that the winners had been converting the new subjects to their own religions and the people who were not agreeing were killed or forced to convert. We have seen in history that religious places of one religions had been demolished and the new rulers had been constructing religions places of their own religion and at times all the religious books of one religion had been destroyed. As and when religion came out of individual bounds, it played havoc with the life of those who were not following the religion of others.

Religions gave us instructions for conducting prayer and that is the reason in each region there are different methods of conducting prayers and that is the reason each religion has got its own name and its own religious books. Even religious places and religious books are different and even methods prescribed are different. All the religions have got something common, but even then people of each religion are trying to establish that their religion stands at a better place. God is one, we are sent by God, we all live life as per directions of God and as and when He recalls us, we go back and after our death we are called upon to explain our work and conduct following during life time and then the decision lies with God who may send us to Hell and Heaven. These principles are one and same in all the religious books, but even then people of one religion are trying to establish that their religion is better.

We are sorry to note that religions have come out of the individual bounds and now these are touching our social life too and because of these extra-entries, we are being divided into different religions and at present some of the religions are at fight and they are trying to establish their supremacy. Some are turning terrorists, some are starting committing riots and some are trying to establish their supremacy through wars and use of war-heads and thus a new type of imperialism is coming down on earth. In spite of all efforts, none could establish a common religion and it seems there is no chance to establish a common religion. Here history shall repeat and there are chances the next world war could be on religion based war and people of one religion shall try to finish the people in other religion, because conversion is not possible now.

There is no one who can stop the fundamentalists to think over the matter and should once again take back the religions to the individual concern and all entries in other fields of life should be banned by law. Religion should remain an individual concern and it should not be allowed to go out and all competitions on the basis of religions must stop. We must accept that all religions are good and there is no religion who is better than the other religions.
