what is the right religion for humanity
My teacher said once that there is no religion better than other religions because religions were created only after some profet decides to meditate, that's why we need to look at those who don't share the same religion with us with the eye of love... because this is the only true faith exists

If you need to be religious the religion that resonates with you is the right religion for you.

For without LOVE, in the heart and in practice, faith is dead.

I think everyone interested in the Path should acquaint themselves with all the major religions and their teachings, and sub-teachings. [I mean wise souls inspired by the teachings of their faith.]
Not only does it increase empathy and understanding of others, it also opens the door on a treasure trove of enlightened thought and wisdom that one would otherwise miss.
The Holy books, whilst not infallible, are a rich storehouse of light and guidance, and who could fail to be enriched by the writings of the likes of Bede Griffiths, Kahlil Gibran, Rumi etc etc.
Do not limit yourself to one book or creed!
Even then, remember too that nature is the greatest testament to Divinity, Beauty and Truth.

I agree that love is the religion that is right for humanity. I would also add truth.
Truth helps us to understand what love is, and love helps us how to live out the truth.
'Love' can mean many things to different people. Some people would see love in a certain action, another wouldn't. Some may think they're loving, but if they were willing to hear it, they could be shown objectively that they aren't being loving. And that is why I feel truth helps us to fine tune the love that we espouse. It helps to objectify the subjective.
I personally have found no greater expression of the love and truth that we should imitate, than in Jesus.

but religion is not LOVE, and LOVE is not a religion.
The right religion is one which conforms with verifiable facts and trends, without going beyond them into metaphysical speculation which are then represented as truth. Speculation is fine only as long as it is made very clear that it is speculation.
A religion like that will be subject to change and growth as humanity changes and gains new insights. Nothing can ever be the final word and any religion which claims that is a wrong one. |
