Which religion is right?

Imagine what it would be like if every individual on the planet looked up into the vast infinite sky at one time and each person described what they saw.

Some people would say they see stars, an endless number of stars for miles and miles.

Some would say they see a giant full moon.

Others would say they only see a half moon.

Some people, on the other side of the world, would say they don't see any stars at all; they would claim they see a bright blue sky for miles; some would say they see clouds and some would say they see a bright blazing sun.

Now imagine what it would be like if one of those individuals looked up into the sky and decided he needed to tell everyone. Not only that, but imagine if he wanted everyone (from their different positions on the planet and places in time), to make sure they agreed with what he saw.

Imagine the ignorance. The sky is infinite. No one person can claim to know it all.

And yet this is the ignorance of religion; it is a lack of understanding.

It is the hallmark of an unenlightened ego, having tasted a kernel of spiritual truth, to proclaim to know the whole crop and try imposing that view upon others.

Ignorance might be bliss on some occasions.

But at other times it can be dangerous.

True wisdom is in knowing you know nothing as far as the infinite is concerned.

In a vast and infinite universe that seems endless in time, the only thing you can know for certain is your own self.

Know thyself, first and foremost, and all things are as good as known.
