Religion
cannot bring harmony and, and tends to form a ground for discord among
human beings. A man-created way of life and thought. Wrong interpretation
has been the reason for religious wars, crusades, forced conversions,
persecutions, witch-hunts, oppressions, massacres, suffering and torture
for the past thousands of years.
What has happened before is happening even now before our eyes and can happen again. What did not exist before is the possibility of total destruction of the race with the sophisticated weapons of our day. If mankind has to survive, political dissension and religious discord must cease. But
how can harmony be brought about?
There are dogmatic barriers to the acceptance of this. Irrational beliefs and dogma as of faith continue to exist. Skeptics continue to talk against religion. Of course it would gradually cease, when the factors for this transformation are clearly demonstrated and explained by the methods of science. This is because Universal Laws are still unknown. When it is objectively proved that Higher Consciousness is a natural state in human beings. It is a companion of the intellect to moderate ego in the evolution of the brain till a balanced personality, of both the spiritual and intellectual, is formed. This Mystical Feeling or Higher Consciousness is always present in the intelligent human mind. Most geniuses in the sciences, great poets and philosophers possessed this feeling to a pronounced degree. Enlightenment is the final product of this religious impulse and depends on a higher unlocated activity of the brain. |
