GOD IS BEYOND RELIGION

God is the center point of all religions. All religions believe in God. God is the creator and the preserver of the universe. Unfortunately, while we all pray to God, we don't really know God. God is beyond human comprehension, God is a power, a universal power that is omnipotent ( all-powerful ), omniscient ( knows everything ) and omnipresent ( present everywhere ).

It is unfortunate that most people misunderstand the concept of God and think that only 'their' God is the real God! Our inclination towards differentiating 'our' God from 'their' God itself acknowledges our ignorance about God. Is it possible that the Christian God created the land, the Muslim Godcreated the skies and the Hindu God created the oceans and the seas? Anybody with a little common sense will understand that God is one universal power that is believed in by different religious groups, who gave different names and titles to their God. To know God, we need a religion, but we must go beyond our religion to realizethe truth about God. We don't need to change our religion, but we must go on a quest, in search of God if we truly love our lord.

We human beings are made of flesh and bone. Who made us? Obviously, a Power, a Universal Energy that is beyond birth and death, created us. All religions believe that their God is alive and immortal. Different religions may differ in several points of view. Our challenge is not to get caught inthese differences but to go beyond religion to the God that we love and we seek, the creator. When we let our religion limit us, we can become fanatics by blindly believing a scripture without using our intellect to correctly interpret the same. Whatever religion we belong to, our goal is one – God
