Only one path to God?
Written by Renso Ryokan
I feel the main issue with humanity is that we look at God in human terms. Most will agree from various religions that God is vast and beyond the comprehension of our minds. We cannot even begin to fathom what God truly is. So how as humans can we say with any certainty that God is one or many, male or female, or all of the above?
The many cultures of the planet have found their own ways to "humanize" God so to speak. Giving God a gender, form or separating into many who act on different aspect of the world around us. The various cultures of mankind have done this out of human nature. Simply to make a relationship with God more personable. It is much easier to worship God with some kind of form in our minds. Not many would worship a formless "great unknown" with no way to relate to it. How we choose to see and worship God is completely up to the individual. One man's view is no greater or lesser than another. Only a different way of seeing...
Most, if not all will agree that man is flawed. With that being said, how can any of us pass judgment on one path holding a higher truth than the other? Because man is flawed, the things man creates is flawed as well... Religion is far from perfect, yet many hold faith through traditions and writings. Stories and scriptures passed down hundreds to thousands of years may not be the same from when they were first written. All these things are and have been open to human error or the wills of man which may not have always been righteous. So how can we possibly trust religion to be an absolute truth?
One thing we can find purity in this world is in spirituality. You wont find it in a book and it can't be given to you by someone else. It only comes from within when you make a true connection and communication with the divine. When this happens there will be no question about your path or the path of others. The words in books and traditions of others will not be the main source of what influences your faith. With spirituality you have your heart and God's direct guidance. Who could possibly make you question that?

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
