Commonness in all the religious text – Universal love and peace

True.  All the religious texts affirm the need to be loving, kind, compassionate, caring, a sense of respect, love your nature and every living being on Earth, do not hurt anyone by deed, thought, or word.  We are innate with the nature of love; we have to bring it out in the open that is it! We need not put all our effort to create something which is not familiar or not present; we just need to stir it well, live in harmony, the act of forbearance, and tolerant of our differences, are the simple techniques to live a happy and peaceful life on Earth.  These religious scriptures teach the highest of the truth ‘oneness in all’.   None of us are free from mistakes or sins; we are born with the impurities as well, we have lust, desire, pride, ego, and jealous, the supreme spirit will not hate or favor anyone for their flaws.  The sacred scriptures help to develop serenity, peace, kindness, love, compassion, sympathy, ultimately permanent bliss.

What are the objectives of life?

Our prime objective should be keeping ourselves away from suffering.  Human life has to undergo failures and success, happiness and sorrow, afflictions and well-being, pleasures and pain, fortune and misfortune, grief and joy, distress and contentment, constantly.   Hence ‘life is a bed of roses full of thorns’ and these are fleeting moments in everyone’s life.  We all want to be happy always, that is the ultimate truth, but the hardest truth is that it is impossible to achieve.  The supreme spirit and sacred scriptures are too kind to creatures, they both strive hard to protect the living beings from the miseries, they both define the path of contentment, self- realization, and realization of the supreme spirit.  There are four objectives in life known as Righteousness/Dharma, Wealth/Arththa, Desire/Kama and Moksha/ liberation.   Righteousness is a mode of conduct, following prescribed duties and responsibilities, attributes, virtues, essential quality, ordinance, custom, observance of customary duties, the practice of religious rites, and morality.  Earning wealth to meet the necessities of life, the performance of charity, offering money for religious rites, and utilize the wealth for service to humanity.  Cultivate the desire to perform all the religious rites, desire to perform the duties and responsibilities in a perfect manner, fulfill desires of both physical and material of yourself and your dependents, and gratify the desires of your ancestors by producing children to perform religious rites.  Liberation is the final state to get freed from the vicious cycles of worldly existence once for all; it is called liberation from repeated births.  It can achieved through various pious deeds, self – less service, /Karma Yoga, intense devotion and faith, /Bhakthi Yoga,  and gaining knowledge from scriptures, knowledge of self and God-realization/Jnana Yoga.

What makes a person happy?

In my opinion  living with essentials of life along with the virtues of simplicity, good health, kindness, elegance, humility; self-less act, positive thinking, acquiring knowledge and sharing wisdom, peace and serenity are the keys to happiness.  It varies from person to person.  Finally, knowledge of self, knowledge of supreme consciousness is the bliss which is difficult to attain but not impossible.  Knowledge of supreme consciousness is permanent bliss, which can be achieved by several years of devoted practice of Yoga and meditation, reading scriptures, observing the vow of silence, and practice of selfless service.  This will change the perception of the individual altogether; it transforms the person with a great sense of gratitude,   forbearing, loving, caring and kind.  They start loving all that surrounded by them, they do not get scared of loneliness, and they find themselves happy in their nest J
