Muhammad
"True religion is surrender" I know a lot of people who would not agree with that statement, but i think it is true. In order to truely one hundred percent follow a religion you have to give up a lot. You have to do everything it says to do, and follow all these rules. It almost seems to me like you have to surrender your free will. Im not trying to say that religion is bad though. "Do not despise the world, for the world too is God." I guess that this is saying that God created the world, God is the world, so to love God you must love the world. God is everywhere, and is everything. The whole reading is basically saying just that. God affects everything "his is the kingdom of the heavens and of the earth and to Him alll things return." God is there before life, during life, and after life. God is always there "and he knows the innermost heart."

It's true that most religions require that you give up yourself. Who you are no longer should exist once you believe in some sort of religion. Whether it's Buddhism, and you look within yourself to lose yourself, or whether it's Christianity where your will no longer matters, but the will of God is something that is to be strived for.
ReplyDeleteIt's a little unnerving.
