Love, Compassion, Understanding, Service.

Hello, Welcome to "How Can I Make It A better World"

All world one happy family.

Over the week end I had a call from someone distributing the free magazine, "WatchTower."

He began by asking me what religion I was.

I could not truthfully answer that question.

If by religion he meant if I followed any set of rituals that all the world's religions impose on their followers, from swaying to and fro as you read a book before a wall, to doubling down forward on the floor facing a particular direction, I do not belong to any.

I have now grown to realise that such superficial procedures wholly imagined up by some men can never be the message of a Creator of the universe.

If, by following a religion, however, is meant the philosophy behind the religion, the guidance to man of his relationship with all nature and other people, and with God, then I am a follower of any religion you care to name.

Because, as I understand it, all religions show all life to be a manifestation of one universal spirit.

According to the basic philosophy of all religions, the way to make it a better world is to show towards your fellow living things Love, Compassion, Understanding and be of service to them.

That line of reasoning does raise the question, what is the duty of the one at the receiving end of love, compassion, Understanding and service?

As often before, I seek guidance from you over that puzzle.

Wishing you all the best, Shree-1
