I am the kind of person who believes that there is one huge ball of positive energy (or cosmos) that is constantly trying to to nullify the negatives that we humans project. It does not know religion, region, colour, creed or caste. It slits itself to make small beings filled with positive energy, which gradually gets corrupted due to the materialistic love for what it sees in the mortal world. It is stated in the Gita, that God, or the Cosmos has sent us to this world so that we can realise that all that we see in the world is mere Maya- which does not have a clear-cut translation, but lets say "god's playhouse" for the time-being- and that we can cut loose all the attachments to this materialistic world and join the Universal Soul without any doubt and a feeling of lose.
Now, I know not many read my blog, but those who do might think why I am trying to be an intellectual. To those I would like to say, I did not come up with these thoughts. These ideas were nurtured in me by my late Grand-parents, my Father ( for the most part) and the writings of Mahaguru Shankaracharya. But the reason I felt the need to write all this today, is that I read a few phrases of a Scottish Episcopalian and I had the dire need to write this down somewhere at least one person other than me would read. And for that I needed an introduction, and thus my crap. If you actually did, thanks for bearing with me..
Now to the quote:
"I see the heart of the Christian faith as lying in the Trinity, with the father suffering though the Son and vivifying the living world through the spirit.
I see the the heart of Budhism as diagnosing our troubles in the world as arising though greed, hatred and delusion.
I see the heart of Hinduism as seeing the Cosmos as God's body.
I see the heart of liberalism as knowing that we may be mistaken and so being to tolerant.
I see the heart of Islam as learning to curb our senses through rigorous fasting and learning to share our wealth with the less fortunate(my addition. )
I see the heart of life as creative love."
