 130. Purpose Of Life |
The statement of "know thyself" (inner SELF) by Socrates, "to thine own SELF be true" (inner self) by Shakespeare, love the Lord, thy God with all thy heart and mind (the Lord of the body, i.e., the holy spirit, consciousness) by Jesus, no god but god by Mohammed, (and "If I were not, God would not be" Meister Eckhart) are all the same message and instruction to find God-self-realization as the foundation and purpose of one's life.
Mohammed makes the same statement when he says: "NO GOD BUT GOD." All concepts, images and thoughts "about" God are not God, only being in the state of GOD-UNION as a moment to moment EXPERIENCE is God. To worship God and love God as a separate being is still separation. Mohammed knew that there was only "one God." To distort the words of the prophet Mohammed to "There is no God but Allah" is the greatest disrespect and ignorance. This altered statement leads one to believe that there are many gods, which are all false except "our" God. i.e., we are right, holy and correct; all others are wrong.
Is this not the problem of all religions? How is it that there is only "one God" but so many religions? Where do all the religions come from?
