Namaste,
this is the final part
7) Religion and Ethics :
.........................

The basic aim of religion is to bring PEACE to man.  It is not a wise thing for
one to suffer in this life so that one can be happy in the next.  One must be 
HAPPY in the HERE and NOW. Any religion that can bring that about is the true 
religion for humanity.
...............................................................................

Religion deals with the TRUTHS of the metaphysical world just as Chemistry and
the other natural sciences deal with the truths of the physical world. The book
one must read to learn Chemistry is the book of nature. The book from which to 
learn religion is your own MIND and HEART.  The sage is often ignorant of
physical science because he reads the wrong book- the book within; and the 
scientist is too often ignorant of religion because he too reads the wrong book
-the book without.
...............................................................................

We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas, nor the 
Bible, nor the Koran, yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas, the 
Bible, and the Koran. Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the 
varied expressions of THE RELIGION, which is ONENESS, so that each may choose
the path that suits him best.
...............................................................................

Be MORAL. Be BRAVE. Be a HEART-WHOLE MAN- strictly moral,brave unto desperation
Don't bother your head with religious theories. Cowards only sin, brave men 
never, no, not even in mind.
................................................................................

The only definition that can be given of morality is this: that which is 
SELFISH is IMMORAL, and that which is UNSELFISH is MORAL.
