Right from childhood I was taught that religion teaches harmony. It does not divide. I accepted as it was taught but when I grew up I found that this is probably the greatest lie. It is actually the religion which divides the world, the country and the region.Many countries we just divided because there were more than one religion. Looks like religion has a supermacy over country and region.
History is witness that one religion had a hatered towards others, thru the followers of that religion. Every religion says that their religion is supreme, and the holy wars are fought in the name of religion. History tells us about the war of Crusaders, which was fought for more than 500 years. A lot of Hindus and Jews were killed because they refused to convert to the religion of invaders. These invaders distroyed a lot of valuable knowledge and artifacts of one civilization without even wasting a second for thought.
All the religion preaches that God is one then why we are divided? Is it because the religion is different or rituals are different. Do we think that the common man is so intelligent that he will understand the basic concept of religion? When the clerics spit fire to boost their followers against other humans do they ever think about the universality of religion. I think the sanskrit word "Dharma" has no equivalency in the world. Dharma means the latent nature. Like the Dharma of fire is to Burn. The dharma of man is to be merciful, honest, kind not only to the fellow humans but also to the fellow living beings. It is the dharma of man not to take more than one's need from the nature. Dharma is Universal. My dharma should not only be applicable to me but to others in the same way. If sorrow and grief brings tears to my eyes, will do so to others' eye too. If my hunger is satisfied by food so will yours. This is the universality of Dharma. God has made only one Dharma. All the men, I would say all the living creatures, feels the sorrow, joy, satisfaction and lust the same way. All the creatures feel the comfort and discomfort the same way. Then why we discriminate the others on the basis of the origin or the rituals of the other religion.
Life can not be monotonous. And we won't even like it if it is so. you will not feel joy if you never had sorrow. You will never feel the value of money if you have never seen the poverty. Here comes the law of coexistence. Even in nature, every creature, despite their size shape and capacity, has contributed to the evolution.
It looks that the basic nature of the man is divisive. If he will not find other religion to fight, he will fight among his own religion, on the basis of sects, castes, place or way of worship.
We think and believe that the modren man is very intelligent and progressive, but what I find in practice that the man has never changed. He still follows the instructions and books from the people who never had a proper education ever. I do not think those old people were wiser than present humans. If they were, they would have made computer, cars, or at least a pen to write those books. But no they had no idea about this. Their teaching may be good at that time but not in present era.The entire earth is now becoming like a village. Humans are moving from one place to other, from one country to other. Then why we still carry our nature of discrimination and having blind faith on the books that were written centuries ago.
