CONFLICTS OF THE RELIGIOUS WORLD


It is good to be religious and remember GOD. People around this world have created their own Gods as per their perception and requirement and emphasize that their religion is the only one which must be followed. We all know that the pious feelings of brotherhood for humans in the world can only bring Peace and Harmony.
We also see around in the world that certain followers of various faiths and religions, nurse staunch ideas and go beyond the perspectives and try to impose their own religious feelings on others to force them to feel and follow the practices of their owned faith, which do not translate the true teachings of their real faith. No religion teaches to force others to follow or accept the teaching of their own.

World religions propagate that brotherhood and harmony are necessary for peace. But on the other hand these religions had been responsible to start the wars in this world.In fact religions germinate controversies and the outcome is catastrophic.Thus they belittle their respective religions.

We can not reduce the size of a line without touching it but we can certainly do that by drawing a bigger line in parallel to that thus making it smaller. It is important to study the religious teachings and then spread a message for benefit of humanity with love and affection without attaching any conditions to such messages and without expecting any outcomes or results as any effort with honesty and sincerity will certainly bring better results.

Sikhism is the youngest out of the major five religions of our world. Guru Nanak pointed out the useless rituals whether they were followed by Hindusor Muslims in that era. He spread the universal messages for brotherhood that there is only one GOD for all the humans. Guru Nanak spread this message of peace and harmony by traveling far off places in the world in those times when transport means were not developed yet.

The message, this satire is trying to convey is humble effort to draw the attention of readers to this truth that no one can become better religious person simply by posing as such. Rather one has to prove through one’s efforts, actions and good deeds.
