Comparing Bad Guys AND Good Guys

[Guest guest]

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

Karen, i would say not only is Teresa's concept of evil the same as

the Chandi but in my non-expert opinion i would say that the concept

of GOD and evil are really the same in all religions. Master Swami

Sivananda say in his book Bliss Divine;

 

"All prophets are messengers of GOD. There are great Yogins and

realized souls, who have the divine, intuitive perception of GOD.

Their words are infallible and sacred. The Koran or the Zend-Avesta

or the Bible is as much a sacred book as the Bhagavad-Gita. All

contain the essence of divine wisdom. Ahuramazda, Isvara, Allah,

Jehovah are different names for ONE GOD. The ultimate source of

religion of GOD."

 

"Real religion is one. It is the religion of truth and love. It is

the religion of the heart. It is the religion of service,

sacrifice, and renunciation. It is the religion of goodness,

kindness, and tolerance."

 

"Truth is neither Hindu nor Mohammedan, nor Buddist nor Christian!

Truth is one homogeneous, eternal substance. The follower of the

religion of Truth walks on the path of light, peace, wisdom, power,

and bliss."

 

"What is needed is proper education of the followers of all

religions. Unless knowledge alters one's life, it is useless.

Selflessness and love are not creeds to be taught, but ideals to be

exemplified, demonstrated, and radiated. Therefore let everyone

practice his own religion and strive to attain the goal. Let

religion create saints and Yogins, rather than Mandirs, Nasjids, and

Churches."

 

So i guess all paths lead home. To GOD.

friends, that true perfection means loving God and loving our

neighbor. The more perfectly we keep those two commandments, the

closer to perfection we will come. All spiritual rules are nothing

but means toward the end of spiritual love." --St. Teresa.
