The common ground of peace

Among theists, many argue that if religions unite many, they also divide too many. Therefore, the challenge or task before god-following or god-believing communities, societies, and groups of humanity is to iron out these dividing forces and reiterate uniting forces so that religions keep playing a constructive role so long as these exist in human consciousness.

It is largely accepted by the ones who trust evidentiary yogic experiential methods of self-realisation as well as by the believers who have faith in the existence of God as a separate supreme entity that the existence of divinity or God cannot be proven by human means and mind.

Yet, they agree on this point: that though they may not have seen it yet, there are certain divine qualities which may be verified (perceived) by human reasoning, and it is the presence (perception) of these qualities that gives them succour that the compassionate, loving and merciful divinity must exist.

Omnipresence is that first quality or qualification which makes the existence of divinity credible in the minds of reasoning humanity. Precisely, a reasoning human mind reasons with itself: who is ruling that space with its power where divinity isn’t present (doesn’t exist)? And, once the human mind is convinced that there can possibly be such a place/space where the sway of the divine doesn’t rule, then it won’t trust anyone’s sermons to believe or trust the existence of any such divine dimension.

Thus omnipresence becomes axiomatic reasonable evidence of divinity in a purely reasoning mind. It is only right reasoning which keeps human minds tilted towards divinity or God. The second qualification can be the assurance of delivery of justice.

A reasoning human mind reasons that if there is no justice in the ultimate run, then the existence of divinity or God doesn’t make any sense. Delivering justice is an obvious responsibility of any omnipotent power which is virtuous in nature. Therefore, being judicious becomes another quality of omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent divinity in a right-reasoning human mind.

When the order of divine virtues and values dawns upon in its real order in the human heart/mind/consciousness, none can stay away from the humbling experience of immortal calmness within. Should religions focus on anything other than peacefulness within? Be we theists or atheists, peace is our common love.
