We need not
give credence to organized religion in order to appear tolerant and as long as we do so,
we may not be promoting Truth but oppression. If there is any greatness in Hinduism it is
because Hinduism is not an organized religion, nor is it based on belief. It does not have
a single authority, church, or one place to bow down to. It does not say that we can be
saved by merely believing in some savior or holy book but that we will only come to a good
end if we live righteously, which is in harmony with universal Truth, not according to the
dictates of a religious organization and its dogma.
There is a karma for our action that we cannot escape merely by performing our actions in
the name of religion. If our religious practices are based upon exploitation we will have
to experience the negative results of that action, whatever our religious leaders may tell
us. Nor should we allow the name of religion to be used to promote oppression. If someone
under the name of a religion-whether our own or that of other people-is promoting what is
false or causes harm, we need not passively accept it because it is said to be part of
their religion, merely to appear tolerant. |
