Spirit of Light
Be who ever you want
The scripture in each religion is of course seen as the true teaching within the religion we follow.
But a question arises both from experiences done, but also from seeing how others react to the scripture.
The question is.
If you read a religious scripture and come to understand this is the truth, this is how the world actually is. Then before you look up from the scripture you close your eyes and "meditate" on what you just read. then you open your eyes, walk out into the world with only scripture in mind. Aren't you going to be shocked when you look around and see that the world is not as perfect as scripture tells you?
What i trying to say is, yes we do need the scripture to understand the teachings, But if we can not see the fault in the world when we look at it. how can we behave incorrect way toward others when they do not see the same world as you do?
Or are my thoughts really far off this time?
