The educated one may be the first and the smart ones will realize religion is just plain rubbish.

That is the difference between the Indian philosophy and the rest of the world. In India, we believe in diversity of faiths. Every faith is considered a way to finding God. Sri Sri has always been articulating that one must honour all religions while going deeper into his or her own. That%u2019s the real essence of spirituality. There is so much strife in the world because some people believe that only their way is correct and only they will go to heaven. Driven by this wrong philosophy of heaven, they are creating hell in the world.

Iraqis, or for that matter nobody needs to change his or her religion to be peace loving. All they have to do is become spiritual and experience the oneness of God. One who realise the oneness of God will never harm somebody just because he or she belongs to another faith. That%u2019s where Sri Sri is making big strides.

He has been able to bring people together. All said and done, it%u2019s not an easy job to get Arabs to come for a spiritual training in India. That way, is a big beginning. He stands for peace and love and people everywhere can feel it. Hence, even Arabs accepts his teaching. It should be matter of pride for every Indian that great soul like him has taken birth here.

Well said and wish it all comes true and I agree that the Indian culture has come closest to accept this truism but you'll agree with me that even India is far far away from achieving this ideal. All this stems from the basic problem with organized religions - that they all claim that the right path is only found in their books. They claim that following other books or other paths to achieve God are heresy and in some cases punishable by death. Unless a fundamental change is achieved by everyone in understanding and preaching of organized religions worldwide - we're left to live with these unnecessary problems in the world. In the meanwhile all we can hope for in this hell is some respite from people like Ravishankar and more thoughts of wisdom from people like you - Rajaque.
