Great Men of God

All the famous religious teachers have brought important lessons and knowledge to mankind. Unfortunately, we see only the surface, the differences between the faiths, without realising that when they were teaching, the faith they are associated with, didn't exist. I suggest that these great teachers were all teaching one, unified religion, we are simply too blind to see it.

Jesus
Buddha
Krishna
One
for without the others
one
would be
none

each one brought a message
that built on the last

Krishna taught
of the form of God
Buddha imparted
the Wisdom Divine
He said to listen
He said to test
but not to believe
on His word
alone

last came
Jesus
last but not least
for this greatest of teachers
taught Love
no more
no less

and

isn't that
my friends
all that we need?

for
with these three
all else
will follow

You are probably very right. But the best teacher we can find is our love to others and all things in nature, which is God-given. Sadly it is crippled by other feelings way too often.

Yes...I feel we all worship the same God or Avatar. I've never felt that all the different man made 'religions' had that much to do with true spirituality.

Thank you for sharing your philosophy on this. Someone described love to me this way not long ago:

"Love has a different tune: I love you, therefore you are free to do as you wish. My love says you cannot do any wrong in my sight. My love says you cannot hurt me for it would not wish to make you responsible for the way I feel. My love says I am here for you if you want me, or I can be gone if that is what you wish. My love does not depend on your performance to exist - it depends entirely on a choice I make, moment by moment. My love accepts that you may even come to hate me for what I am and it is strong enough not to compromise itself to please you. My love cannot be manipulated. My capacity to love is infinite and is not bound by your feelings or desires."

Thank you. Love and peace,

Regis
