Unity of Faiths
“There is only one religion; the religion of Love
There is only one language; the language of the Heart
There is only caste; the caste of Humanity
There is only one God, He is Omnipresent.”
Bhagawan Baba says: “All religions have emphasized the same truths in their basic teachings, but very few people try to understand the inner significance of religions.. All should develop the awareness that though Names and Forms may differ, the essential truth is one in all religions.
The followers of each religion call upon the One God who is omnipresent and who listens to their prayers, be they from any race or whatever language they speak; but it is the same God who confers happiness on all of mankind. No religion has a separate God showering grace only on those who profess to abide by that faith.”
While handling the topic of Unity of Faiths in classes, the Balvikas Gurus can take up incidents from the “Life of Young Sai” and stories such as “Universal Love” [(Incident from Prophet Mohammed’s life illustrating the value of Love and Patience], “The Good Samaritan” [One of the Parables of Jesus Christ illustrating the value of Love and Compassion] and “Contentment and Peace” [Incident from Lord Buddha’s life illustrating the value of Patience and Contentment]. These stories form part of our Balvikas syllabus. Apart from these stories, the Gurus can also take up similar stories from various religions exemplifying the Human values and thereby driving the point that the basic human values form the bedrock of the teachings of all religions and faiths.
