About “Religion”

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from [a nonresident, foreigner, and transient foreigner] the world.

[James 1:27, Bible, NKJV]

We fight, we argue, we shout… each one claiming: My cage is superior.

But the truth is, no messenger, no saint, no god ever created “religion.” Religion was created by man, and with time it became more about ego than truth.

This same pattern is everywhere:

— Christians saying, “Jesus is the only way.”

— Hindus saying, “Krishna is the only god.”

— Muslims saying, “Allah alone is supreme.”

But all these religions are like rivers. Each river has its own flow, its own name… yet every river ultimately merges into the same ocean:

Divine Energy.
The Supreme Source.
The One.

Call it Rab, call it Allah, call it God, call it Bhagwan… these are only names.

The truth is: Every messenger came only to teach love, nothing but love. We turned religion into division instead of following what our “gods” and “saints” asked us:
compassion, kindness, unity.

In fact, we often do the exact opposite, and then boast of being “religious”.

Religion divides.
Ego blinds.
But Love unites.
