Religions and Man

God made man, and man made religions. After the various Living Masters left Their physical vestures, religions came into being to keep Their respective teachings active. We are men first; then we acquire the various labels that pertain only to our physical bodies, such as Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, etc. We can truly be called by such designations only when we have actually experienced the Light and Sound – the two numinous aspects of the Word – within us individually, Inner Contact with which has been given by all True Masters of the past and present. To be born in a temple is a blessing but not to rise above the physical body consciousness in a safe and guided manner – to establish Inner Contact with the Word – is sinful. While remaining in our outer religious affiliations, we must rise above them within and become followers of the True Religion which is one for all: To love God and to love all of His creation.
