SC Said:
"Pretty interesting observations. Can we conclude that ancient or old religions are not too narrow, too shallow, and too naive? What is an example of a contemporary religion, any way?
Is the kingdom of God a real thing, an idea or simply a concept? What "scientific process" (suggested by Dr. Roy) is required to reach there? Was any "promulgator" required to let us know about the existence (physical or conceptual) of such a Kingdom? If not, how has (can) it been (be) discovered or invented?"
Reply:
Contemporary religions are the organized religions, introduced by human beings, run by human beings.
The kingdom of God is the happiest place on earth. Therefore, when we are happy, we are about to reach that kingdom. Unfortunately, our happiness is always momentary. As a result, our journey to that kingdom never last too long. The longest journey, we took, through that kingdom was during our early childhood. As we grew up, we drifted further and further from that kingdom. Now, the question is how can we remain in that (childhood) state forever?
In order find an answer, we have to ask ourselves why are we unhappy? We are mostly unhappy in our lives because of our surrounding circumstances, many of which are our own creation while others are beyond our control. We are unhappy because of our unlimited wants, which we cannot mitigate with our limited resources. I am sure in my assertion that, our ancestors were happier than us. People who live in the forest are probably much more happier than us. In the ancient times, Sages used to live in the jungle; meditate throughout the day and night; did not have wants, and lived happily ever after. Therefore, prosperity is not the source of happiness. If I look back at my own life, I can see that I used to make my own toys, out of bamboo or wood. Very rarely my parents would buy fancy toys. But, I was so much contented with my life at my early childhood which I can only compare with the havenly happiness. As you can see, no promulgator is needed to
reach the kingdom of God. The Psycho-social research experiments can be carried out to verify my hypothesis.
SC Said: "You have God, but no religion! Doesn't it sound like an oxymoron?"
Reply:
There can be only one God (if there is any), not three or four. Now, if there is only one God, why we have so many different religions? Do you think, God will tell different things to different promulgators? The answer is NO. Therefore, religions are not about God; it's always about promulgators. We have to understand this basic point. Therefore, you can have God, even without a religion. God is like your parents. If you say that you hate them, they still love you. Similarly, if you say that God does not exist, He still loves you. You can reach the kingdom of God, even if you are an Atheist.
Thanks.
