Philosophy and Truth (Religion and Spirituality)
Dated: 11/07/2016
Purpose of a philosophy is to pacify one’s mind and give him direction to seek for the Truth. It is not the Truth; it is only a shadow of the Truth, it is a path to the Truth.

Alas, unable to face the dazzling Truth, we identify with the philosophy, declare it the Truth and fight for it; we sacrifice ourselves to the shadow rather to the Light!
A Hindu shall understand that he is not a Hindu but he is seeking the Truth by a way of Hinduism. A Muslim shall understand that he is not a Muslim but seeking the Truth by the way of Quran. A Christian shall understand that he is not a Christian but seeking the Truth by the way of Bible.
We are all same in seeking the Truth, but different in the way we have chosen to seek the Truth. Understanding of this fact can only bring harmony among different people.
People are different, they need different paths to progress. Too much emphasis on any path is to enslave the spirit of its followers.
Those who are spreading their religion by force or inducements have already accepted the inadequacy of their path. While they forcibly add people to their ranks, their own ranks who feel suffocated will leave their fold. Man is seeking Freedom and Truth, his spirit can’t be encaged.
Let's relegate the religion to its right place.
