We know that all religions talk of universal brotherhood , but this fact is understood and accepted only by those who ponder on spiritual matters and realise the fact that we are all souls, not bodies & it is by this virtue of being souls, and the children of the Supreme Soul, we are all brothers. Unfortuantely all the religions in the world today are religions of the body, not the soul. Hence we are stamped as Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Jew when we are born in a family that follows that particular faith. But the fact is that the soul does not have any religion as its original religion or intrinsic qualities are of peace, love, purity, happiness, power and bliss.
History has shown that since time immemorial every religion in the world has propagated non¬violence, because real strength lies in non-violence. Hence reacting to the slightest provocation is not considered as a sign of strength, but our inability to tolerate. We must thus remember that the stronger we are, the lesser we would be disturbed by adversities or provocation. Just as the mighty ocean absorbs all the refuse that comes to it, the strong & composed beings take the ups and downs of life in their stride easily. It is known that empty vessels make more noise than the full ones. Similarly, violence is the tool of those who are empty inside. Those who have imbibed the essence of religion in their lives will never take to violence, however great be the provocation, as they know for sure that truth can never be defeated by force.
Remember ! humanity will continue to be divided on religious lines till we begin living according to our original religion which is that of being a soul, rather than merely following rituals. The essence of a religious life is soul-consciousness, or the awareness that we are all souls. Once we gain this awareness, and realise that we are all Almighty Supreme’s children, we would start radiating positive energy all around thereby making the world free from the dark shadow of violence forever.
