God is not Hindu, Muslim or Christian
The true God is not Hindu, Muslim or Christian. Likewise we are not Hindu, Muslim or Christian. We all are the master piece of God the creator, the God of nature and the God of the universe. Man is not just physical body; something beyond that. As we all have oneness in birth and death and where we came from and where we are going; we have to be one, irrespective of color and ethnicity. We live in a universe of endless space and never ending time which defines eternity. Infinity and eternity are well defined in our time. From eternity we all enter in to this short life span of human history and we may go back to the same eternity after shredding our body. You may call it moksha, eternal life, nirvana or eternal damnation, based on where we spend our eternity. That day the purpose of life will be revealed to us.
Advaidam, India’s Gift to the world
One of the main contributions of India to the world is the concept of Advaidam, which means again there is no two but one. This means again that in this universe the things that are true and eternal exists as one. Most of the enlightened rishies and acharyans were aware of this truth and they asked: where in the world thousands of races, religions and gods came from in the land of Advaidam? Religion may bear and religion may die, but there is only one way to enlighten the path of eternal love and that is the path of truth seeking. This is what mankind dreams of: one God, one race and one religion.
Many Gods the Truth Counterfeits
Religion lined numerous gods in front of the true God and sowed weeds in human hearts. The true God is the God that never ask about your race, color or religion when approach him. The force that counterfeit truth is real in the world. But God has been preserving the truth generation after generation by inspiring His servants. Adam to Abel to Enoch to Noah to Abraham to Isaac to Jacob to Joseph to Moses to Joshua to the nation of Israel. Then the real truth became man. Jesus is the truth the way and the life. No man comes to God without Jesus.
Patriarch Abraham’s Gentile Background
Patriarch Abraham is still recognized as the father of the nation Israel and Islam the prominent Muslim religion. If you examine his life and heritage, he was an ordinary man just like one of us from the city of Ur one of the Chaldeans city. His father Terah was idol worshipper and maker. But Abraham was a free thinker and a truth seeker. The concept of many gods is never in harmony with nature or common sense. As he was searching for the true God, he was uncomfortable worshipping a bunch of gods made by his father. The story ends like this, Abraham destroyed all those idols and made a decision not to worship idols. Then God appeared to Abraham and made His will be known to him. God called an ordinary man out of a gentile background and made him the father of a nation which He called His people! The Jews still boast about their heritage and father Abraham. When people came to John the Baptist for repentance, he rebuked them about their attitude, and said: Sons of viper, who advise you to flee from the wrath of God? Bear fruits according to repentance. Do not say in your heart, we have Abraham as our father. God can bring forth children from this stones. It is not race but grace of God that brings forth favor. God’s favor towards one person brought favor to an entire nation! God’s attitude towards every individual and every nation is the same. The true God never discriminates.
