Gospel of the christ.
I have always believed in christ as god just as I believe in my karma and vedanta saram,
I do not find any problem in reconciling my Hindu beliefs and outlook with the christian or muslim faith.
however After seeing the pain caused by conversions I can not but ask, did he know that these will come about?
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--
a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
Matthew 10:34-36
How true it has come about to be!! How farsighted this observation was!!
The conversions by proletysing religions tear apart the fabric of family and society in a way that is too cruel for the words to describe.
I have always believed in the ancient suktha,
matha pitha guru daivam [consider your mother, father and teacher as equel to gods]
and felt it as one of the corner stones of my life and faith.I find it difficult to reconsile what christ teaches with it. and if it is my choice, I gladly choose this suktha rather than any teaching that is in variance with it because as an Indian I value the well being of my family above that of my own always and every time. ¶ 5:39 PM
