There are many religions and
sects and several texts which teach human beings how to live with each other
and how to also evolve spiritually while performing our daily karma.
But what gets internalized is
basically what some religious heads interpret from these texts and
unfortunately, add their own bit to keep their place in the hierarchical order
, thus , often losing the thought processes of the writers and the authenticity
of the text.
The end result is groups,
blind following, and rigid mindsets and therefore, limited minds and a huge
amount of intolerance for anyone who does not believe in your belief
systems....a potentially ignitable situation at the best of times and the worst
of times.
If every human being was
taught instead, to read the texts and gain the knowledge written with the pure,
undiluted intentions of those writers, this world would learn to follow the
universal laws and treat each other with love, respect and understanding.
It is never too late to incorporate such studies within the academic
curriculum. There will most certainly be astounding results. We have forgotten our “gurukuls”.
