ARROGANCE and SPIRITUALITY

Arrogance and Spirituality are inversely proportional - i.e., greater the arrgoance, lower the spirituality (or religiosity) and higher the spirituality, lower the arrogance. Even claming your faith to be wiser, saner, better, deeper or philosophical is sheer arrogance, they you are not religious any more. To be religious is to care for life and what surrounds one. - Mike Ghouse

People are free and should always have the freedom to choose. The greater security and freedom comes when people around you are minding their own business. When you think your faith is superior, you don't look to others around you as equal partners of the planet earth, but some one who is less than you on the soft side and on the extreme side, destroying the balance including ecological, food and energy through wars, dominance, subjudgations... causing every one, the oppressor and the oppressed to live in tensions. It is all rooted in arrogance. ...

Religions are constantly guiding one to be humble, a few don't get it and create conflicts for their own end, but shamelessly using religion or claiming exclusivity that is not there in the scriptures.

Who Owns God?

God is not owned by any,
God belongs to every creation,
God has not signed a deal with any,
God is all about love - the love that brings gratitude,
God is equilibrium in one's life,
God is free from all religions,
God is not a man or a woman,
God is not a being or a thing,
God is just a word infinite,
God is not limitable or definable ,
God is nothing but love,
God is the balance in one's life

Is Qur'aan perfect?

Is Qur'aan Perfect?

It is the true and final word of God for the Muslims who believe in it, it is not for the Christians, Hindus, Jews or others who are not familiar with it. However, if one sincerely understands the Qur'aan, he or she will find the essence of Justice, fairness; truth and peace resonate in Qur'aan as they may find it in their own scriptures.
