The current debate...conversions! We are so
hung up on religious identities and intolerance of other religions that there
are dedicated groups actively engaged in conversions. To what gain? Power? Controlling
minds?
Isn't it strange that no one thinks of
conversion of their thoughts, destructive emotions, speech and actions? Even if
we gloss over the conversion part, I don't understand what kind of believers of
a religion would want to convert others. Because enlightened people would live
and let live.
Recently, there has been a picture of a
temple in Dubai making rounds on whatsapp which shows a Hindu priest conducting
a pooja and a Sheikh holding the pooja tray next to him. How beautiful and
truly spiritual is this!
Conversions are so superficial. The soul
has no religion. We just need reasons to ignite fires to control the masses. If
you really mean business, why don't you convert yourself, first from prejudices
and hatred and second, from any kind of emotional negativity?
If this happens, conversions
will be a thing of the past.
