Different Religions is seeing One God through a prism!
There is so much debate and squabble over different religions all over the world and this has been a subject of contemplation and intellectual debates in many forums.
My mind has always thought as God being One and all the religions accepting and worshipping that there is only One God, why should a religion become a prison to shackle people in thier one religion as the ultimate for the realization of God?
One of those evenings when I was walking contemplating about this, enjoying the sunset a light drizzle broke out through a small patch of clouds.. It felt very good to see the sunset in that drizzle and it felt Devine when I turned around to see a beautiful rainbow being formed covering the entire expanse of the sky ... My thoughts stopped and at that moment I felt I got an answer to the reason for the existence of many religions in this world and sat down to jot down my thoughts:
God is all wisdom and all knowing and all pervading... So why did God create many religions on this earth? My mind was saying that there must be some purpose for this creation of God and was scratching my head to have at least a glimpse of insight about God's purpose in creating many religions!
The perfect scene of the evening Sunset, the most colorful beautiful rainbow amidst the light drizzle seemed to answer my quest.
I just imagined that if God in his wisdom had decided to create everything in one color - the trees, plants, the mountains, the birds, animals and the human beings in one color - white, how would this world look?
Every thing would be white... And how boring it would be to see a white tree, a white plant, a white crow and a white peacock, all things and animals, including human beings white. Life and sight around in this world would have been monotonous, dull and boring!
So God perhaps in his wisdom and creativity created a veriety of colors to make life interesting!
Among the many celebrated scientific studies, there are two scientific studies well proven and well accepted and most revered in the history of science - one the Raman effect and the Theory of relativity!
The Raman effect simply showed that the white light when it passed through a prism split onto seven colours and when all these colours were merged, what you got back was pure white light!
The theory of relativity by Einstine proved that energy and mass are the same and one form of energy can be converted to another form of energy and therefore there is only one energy!
God has been showing these two proven phenomenon for millions of years to us humans, through the creation of rain bow - that white light can be spilt into seven colours but ultimately all put together is one. - that is pure white! And when you light a fire wood you see light and also experience heat thus showing us that mass can be converted into energy and one form of energy can be converted into another form of energy but the energy source is the One!
If human beings had to wait for these two eminent scientists to show these natural phenomena empirically, which God has been repeatedly showing over millions of years, it's none of Gods fault but merely the ignorance of the human beings.
Thus, I believe though God in his wisdom created many religions, might have thought of giving glimpses of various philosophies through which God could be understood and realized and there was no difference between the one and the other.
It is really very amazing that every religion claims that there is only one God and only One Energy and One source but claim that there is no other religion but it's their one religion that makes it possible realize God!!!
I feel it is like seven people standing - each one in the a separate color zone created by the pure white light split in seven colors... And the one standing in the yellow zone claiming that the source is one - the pure white light and I can see it in my yellow zone and therefore the only way you can reach the source- the white light, is through being in the yellow zone and nowhere else and each of the other guys making similar claims about their color zone!!
Whether one is standing in the yellow zone or red or any other color zone... When he takes that path from the color zone he is standing and follows and passes through the prism there is no alternative but to merge into one source and one energy - one pure lustrous white light!!!! None of the guys are wrong.. But none of them are ready to see that they are different shades of the same Pure White Light and will ultimately merge into it regardless of which path of the shade of color he takes!
In fact if all the colors are brought together ...all of them lose their identity as different shades and merge to shine in one bright white light and nothing else!!
All the religions, in my opinion, are like the different color shades of one Energy.. The One God... Therefore, respect all religions equally as paths to reach the ultimate ONE source and realize that all paths will take you there!! Realize, respect and regard all religions as the paths that lead to one Energy, one Source and One God! That's the truth and that's the reality whether you like it or not.
There is no other alternative!
