Preempting my nervous thought,

I was gently made to understand,

what I was contemplating is

not as per spiritual world,

it is applicable to Earthlings

materialistic thinking,

prescribed Divine Dharma is

not Religion but species specific,

every species Dharma is governed

by conduct of that body form,

defined Dharma of human being

is to be Humane to the core,

Tenets of Humanity Insaniyat is

the real Dharma of all human souls;

 

My perplexed look prompted

a great lesson of life

from the soothing voice,

elaborating that to herd back

all those who had strayed

from the Divine Path,

Prophets Avatars Saints

Messengers were sent by God

to guide us to the righteous path,

by preaching universal message of

Peace Love Unity Empathy Humanity,

as prescribed by the Almighty God;

 

Principle tenets of God’s Dharma,

was preached by all divine Souls,

methods rituals practice differed,

as they were in different eras,

different regions of the world,

this was used to generate a cult,

creating separate religious groups,

vehemently propagating superiority

of their individual thoughts & beliefs,

violently defending their noble creed,

dividing people on religious lines,

without understanding the real meaning,

of Prophets Saints teachings,

Almighty’s message of

Ethos of Universal Brotherhood

VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM

there is One & Only One God,

in this world we all are One;

 

I blurted out in great anxiety

my demand to meet my God,

I have been an ardent devotee of,

for whom I have devoted my whole life,

whose religion I have followed

with full faith trust & devotion,

religiously performing all the rituals,

practicing all laid down norms;

 

Reprimanding me for my plea,

the voice informed me that

I am not eligible to meet my God,

as I have not been a true devotee,

I have followed religion

in letter but not in spirit,

pursuing methods rituals & beliefs,

forgetting intrinsic principles

of Dharma of my body form,

behind Dharmic conduct for Karmas,

whereas Tenets of divine Dharma,

automatically create good Karmas,

uplifting Life, to bring us

closer in God’s sight.
