Query: Belief in
Religion... We are always born in a religion... and hence the belief!
Kaivalya
Jnani:
It is not religion... it is simply a matter of faith that some people
believe in the existence of God Almighty but not Jesus as the only son of God. Why? It is for the simple
reason that Jesus Christ truly is not the only son of God. Every human being for that matter is a true son of
God. Jesus Christ was born a normal human being and gained enlightenment and finally salvation. His following
was termed Christianity.
Mahavira the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism emphatically stated that every
human being has the potential to become a Mahavira. Mahavira came about 500 years earlier to Jesus Christ.
His teachings contain all that is contained in the Bible. But Bible does not contain all that is included in
the teachings of Mahavira.
Mahavira also emphasized that spirituality must never be preached unless
one gains enlightenment and reaches the level of Mahavira. What he meant was unless one reaches the stage of
enlightenment... all preaching would be tainted with impurities.
Factually, Jesus Christ cannot be the only son of God. Why? If we look at the construction of the Cosmos... we
find that during the time of big bang when the new cosmos is taking shape... all souls atmans in the Cosmos spread
out.
These souls' atmans in their cosmic travel gain impurities. To remove the
dross within these souls atmans manifest life forms one after another. It is only then they shall regain
their pure pristine original form.
Going back further in time even before the occurrence of the big bang... a time when the dissolution of the old
cosmos occurs... what happens then? Sooner the collapse of the whole cosmos occurs... the entire cosmos reduces to
the size of half a thumb.
And what is this half a thumb? This half a thumb is the cluster of all
souls' atmans in the Cosmos in their purified state. This cluster of purified souls as detailed in Bhagavad
Gita (the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism) is what we know as Almighty God.
In the circumstances... how come Jesus Christ... a bodily form can be the
only son of God Almighty? It is just not possible.
