As we are growing from educational, scientific and material point of view so are we showing the sign of lesser a human being. It seems our understanding of human nature is decreasing very fast and the degree of adjustment and wisdom level is also depleting rapidly. The last couple of decades confirm this belief.
What is the reason behind -
If we go back in history we find that when human being left the nomadic way of life and settled down, he explored and needed to create an order. With the passage of time that order transformed into the religion. We can very well say that religion was some kind of code of right and wrong required for specific geographical area and time.All the secret of life and beyond were a mystery hence a supernatural power was naturally accepted as the guiding and controlling force which later on was named as God, Iswara, Allah and so on.
Gradually the human being went deeper and deeper to understand the mystery of life, the nature and the cosmos. To his astonishment what reveiled to him was, that his own innerself (spirit) contained all the answers he was seeking outside, even the bigger truth unfolded was that his spirit and that of others are identical and that was considered as spirituality. This oneness and commonness extended from atom to the tiniest creature to the cosmos.
As the time passed religion multiplied into religions, the competetion of greatness, supremacy and dominance increased, killing the very spirit of religion (a - the understanding of right and wrong. b - what I don't like I must not do it to others.) thus distorting the whole equlibrium and vitiating world's atmosphere.
Let me give you an example - If we take a beautiful flower, a typical religious person will start examining or comparing it with other flowers whereas a spiritual person will enjoy its beauty and fragrance. I wish we should all start enjoying the fragrance of commonness because enough analysis has been done.
The conclusion is that now it is a high time to explore our spiritual strength rather than our typical religious attitude because that can only bring the much needed harmony on this PLANET EARTH.
