    Q) How to bring the unity in the religions, which is the basis for world peace?


    The quarrel between the religions comes due to the fixed notion that the God found by a religion is the absolute truth and hence, the entire humanity should accept that [God] so that, that religion alone must exist. No religion has found the absolute original form of God because it is beyond the imagination of any human being. The unimaginable God can charge any imaginable medium and in such case, such medium gets identified with the God. Every religion found by a specific human being believes that a specific imaginable medium is God. Up to this point, the religion is correct because, such imaginable medium might have been charged and is identified with God. In this way, Krishna is God, Jesus is God, Mohammed is God, Buddha is God and so on.

    Sometimes a religion may select a visible medium as God even if it is not charged by God. One religion says that fire is God. Another religion says that the cosmic energy, which is all pervading, is God. Based on the merits of the media, such medium can also be treated as God because any visible medium can be treated as the representative model for God in the light of the specific merit of the medium. The fire burns everything as God burns all types of the ignorance. God is all pervading like the cosmic energy. Based on these merits, fire and cosmic energy can be treated as God. You must not forget that these representing media are not actually the God due to their defects. Fire cannot burn water and cosmic energy is inert. In any case, the imaginable item can never be the actual unimaginable God.

    The metallic wire is charged by current (God in a medium). This does not mean that the metallic wire itself is current. The national flag, which is a stick and a piece of colored cloth, can be a representative model of the nation. Obviously, the flag is the not the nation. The whole problem comes when the followers of the religions feel that the selected imaginable item itself is God and that alone is God. Every metallic wire charged by current can be treated as current.

    You cannot say that a specific wire alone should be treated as current and other electrified wires should not be treated as current. Even if you don’t differentiate the current and wire, it does not matter much. It may be correct also due to the inseparable current from the electrified wire. But, you should say that every electrified wire is current. Similarly, the representative model can be also believed as God directly for the development of faith and devotion on God. But, every representative model should be treated as God in similar way. You accept the process of identification in one place and reject the same process of identification in another place. This is due to lack of development of analytical faculty in the human being. This is the defensive way of bringing unity in the religions.
