Proving a one religion wrong does not make another better.




Proving a one religion wrong does not make another better. Proving a follower of one religion wrong does not make a follower of another religion better. All religions have their own flaws. We have to admit it.

One has to find out within for himself by following any religion whether he has become better human being, more peaceful, more tolerant, and more spiritual. If not, by vomiting our venom against others religion shows where we really stand and how far away we are from the Ultimate reality/truth.
One has to remember, the Truth or God or whatever one may want to call is independent of religions and independent of what every one of us think about it. When one has little glimpse of the ultimate reality/truth and he will keep become aware of the fact in the realm of truth the experience of diversity [duality] is mere illusion.

Seeker of truth has to think about it. A Gnani is does not belongs to any religion/sect. For him the three states are just a passing show. Thus the godly business such as prayer, worship, glorifying is mere illusion within the duality. For a Gnani the ultimate truth is god. The ultimate truth is Ataman is the true self.
 
The insight from holy Koran declared: ANAL HAQ-- I am the truth -- spiritual meaning is the self is the ultimate truth. [Self is not ‘I’ but the soul/sprit].
 
Insights from Bhagvad gita says: Ahum Bramasmi –I am Brahman- spiritual meaning is: the Self is Brahman [Sri,Sankara says Ataman is Brahman] Spiritual meaning is self is Brahman – that means Ataman/soul is Brahman. 
 
Insight from bible says: My spirit is the Father. The Father and I are one. The Father can do anything." – Spiritual –meaning - the sprit the soul – the soul is the self – the soul and mind [‘I’] are one in essence. 
 
Seeker of truth has realize the fact that all the spiritual insights of all religion direct to the self /soul which is the formless substance and witness of the experience of diversity[duality]. 
 
The object of self – knowledge is to bring unity in diversity.
