Recently while watching a TV program by Dr.Zakir Naik, I was amazed at his knowledge of differentiating the religions and more specifically the people. In classical mathematics, when very small component of a larger system is to be studied then we take differential elements and study them and finally integrate the differential element properties to obtain the system properties. But the differentiation by Zakir Naik is good but he leaves the solution there itself and never goes on to integrate the differentials.
Whether a person follows Islam, Hinduism(Vedic religions), Christianity, etc the ultimate aim is to gain inner peace and happiness without causing much damage or trouble to the world outside. Every religion has good things in them as a pre-requisite else it would be a barbaric/nomadic system of life. The evils in any religion or system of life is required to appreciate the good things and evil and good are relative and for the absolute persons(God), there can be no difference between the two.
The so called people holding the moral compasses for others have devised some as good while the rest are deemed to be bad, and depending on which compass you wish to follow you are either a Hindu, Muslim or Christian, etc. With the hollowness of the current materialistic nature of life, lead to the rise of a number of godmen/women. Some may be genuine while a many are just making money. This is the pattern across all the systems(religions). If anyone say that there is no bad in a particular religion/system then he is the biggest fool.
A average human being who has some idea of who/what God is, should have received some amount of information. The information can be received by any of the five sources but should be processed by one mind and we believe it is the soul which is in the driving seat uses the mind to process it. The soul being the purest form of energy requires some tools to process the sensory information, and if the mind has some blocks/imperfections then the soul cannot process it. No matter how good a hunter is, he cannot catch his prey without the proper tools or no matter how good a driver is, if the car is in bad condition the ride will never great. The driver and the driven together deliver the performance.
In a human being, the soul is always perfect and depending on the amount of perfection of the mind the output is determined. The person may be a genius, fool, rapist, authoritative, sensitive, etc. The information received from any of the five sense organs will never convey the same message but only parts of the whole message. The mind being imperfect cannot receive the perfect information about anything outside but with a lot of effort can gain perfect knowledge of the soul within and the state is called enlightenment. Few sages have reached this stage and some have gone far ahead and reached samadhi.
What the soul sends out the signals, the mind corrupts, the organs destroy while transmitting and while receiving there is some distortion. Every sense organ can distinguish the information into more basic modes. The most easiest to understand is the light, which can be broken into primary colours. Similarly other sensory information is being broken into primary state(if possible), then if the information that is generated into the multi dimension. The transmitters and receptors should all be capable to process this multi dimension information, else there will be compatibility issues. We may require system patches to solve this issue and this is where the god-men have come to play.
The god-men may not be doing a perfect job, but the people in general have found some peace and hence there is a following. The god-men may also be getting followers for illegal things also, but as we have by now understood, good cannot exist without the bad. Whether we call that unknown entity/God as Ram, Allah, Jesus or describe him in our own imperfect way, the goal of life is to achieve the perfect inner peace first and then go on to influence others towards the perfect ways. Many instances have been noticed in the history and current scenario in the world, where the first part is not achieved, but the second part is done with the use of sword.
The sword will never be able to bend the soul, because the mind which holds the soul may not be able to move towards the truth. The soul will shed the mind and the body and takes a newer body/mind and the process continues for eternity. Never a human or animal likes when it is beaten unless there is a problem in the mind. Thus the law of karma tells that keep doing a good work without harming others and not expecting anything in return. The current position you are in now are only due to the past deeds and if you keep doing your work, then you will again come to the similar position in life. If we want to enjoy better things, then we should be something better now than we are currently doing, like thinking of god is a good thing or some similar things which keep the mind steady and at peace.
Since now two souls can receive the same information at the same time, because of the limitation of the dimensions of sensory information, dimensions of space, dimension of time. If two souls receive the same information and relay the same information, then the should be zero dimensional entity or a infinite dimensional entity. Zero and Infinite are actually two portions split by a thin invisible boundary like a crack on a glass. The crack(numbers) exist because of the presence of zero and infinite. Hence there can be two absolute states and one relative state. The Trinity - Brahma(Infinite), Vishnu(intermediate), Shiva(zero). What ever may be the intermediate number, it is based on the extremes.
In a multidimensional information system, the zero dimensional soul should receive and process the information with perfection. The truth(God) is again a super soul who has zero dimensions. Thus it leads to a concept of intermediate zero and extreme zero. This is where the system fails as we can call singularity. In practice there is no singularity, because our Vedas tell that there is a soul in every entity and the different things we perceive is due to the limitation of the mind the soul is trapped in. The soul needs to be at either zero or infinite which are the same state, but is occasionally trapped in the intermediate states and thus we have the cosmos and the life forms.
Soul being present in everything and being trapped by the mind, cannot see the truth but only as being perceived by the tools it has and always in a process to get out of this trap. Based on the imperfection in the mind, we can worship a stone, a tree, a abstract object, light or anything because there is a soul in it and we are focussing our energies towards the external presumed perfections. Some have achieved by internal focus and the result is always the same and depends on the efforts and the Karma principle.
Thus "The truth is one, different Sages call it by Different Names"
