I think "Dharma" or religion is...



What is “Religion” or “Dharma”? Well, some people describe Dharma or Religion as certain commandments, given by a particular person, often called themselves as God sent holy person or “Avatar” or “Messiah” & followed by a large number of people from generation to generation. The commandments will give rise to a “Religion” or a “Dharma” if and only if those are followed by a large group of people. But I strongly disagree of this kind of opinion. According to me, a “Dharma” is nothing but a way to find the absolute & the ultimate truth and nothing else. Whether or not people follow it, if the way leads to the absolute truth, it is a “Dharma” then. Because the truth is independent, doesn’t depend on any other factor. Absolute truth is “the one and only one”; remain unaffected & uninfluenced by any other factor, any other behaviour. The way we need to choose, either by our will or by our inheritance or by any means, it doesn’t matter as long as our intension is pure & we have a clear conscience. The goal & purpose of each & every “religion” is to be unified with GOD, the ultimate soul, the ultimate power the ultimate of the ultimate itself. Hence if the purpose & goal is same then why do people fight in the name of “religion”, in the name of “Dharma”? Claiming “My Dharma is ultimate” is nothing but the biggest illusion of human mind. For example we can get 4 by 2+2 then again by 1+3 and then 5-1, 6-2, 7-3…1004-1000…etc . So there are numerous ways that lead to 4. No way is wrong, all are right only the numbers & operation kind is different. So, spreading terror in the names of “Religion” is a symbol that you neither understand your own “Religion” & nor the other ways. You are totally lost & having no “Religion” of your own. Then may be you can claim that you are inventing a new way which leads to the ultimate truth. Well, there is nothing wrong with it. You may invent it & as I told before that every way that leads to the ultimate truth is a new “Dharma” but I also mentioned that your intension & conscience have to be pure & clear too & if your way consists of killing innocents & you are claiming that as sacrifice then you can’t have a clear conscience as you can’t sacrifice anything which is not yours. If you do then that’s called “killing” not sacrificing.
