Conquering the Religions of Division

The following inscription is found on a rock memorial in Mysore India from the reign of King Asoka 5000 years ago. His empire stretched from India to today's Iraq. 

"This religious inscription has been engraved in order that our sons and grandsons may not think a conquest is necessary; that they may see in it nothing but destruction and violence; that they may consider nothing as true conquest save the conquest of religion. Such conquests have value in this world and in the next".  

Just visualize our world in we unite with God as one world. One creation. One creation that accepts the customs and joys of all clebrating the creative force. 

For remember as the great teacher Yogi Bijhan said, "if you do not see God in all then you do not see God at all.

A piece of "The Present Crisis" a poem by James Russel Lowell



A Present Crisis
By James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)

Once to every man and nation,
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with false-hood,
For the good or evil side;

Some great cause, some great decision,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever,
'Twixt that darkness and that light.

Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;

Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue,
Of the faith they had denied.

Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet the truth alone is strong:
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,

Yet that scaffold sways the future,
AND, BEHIND THE DIM UNKNOWN,
STANDETH GOD WITHIN THE SHADOW,
KEEPING WATCH ABOVE HIS OWN.

And I must add the god that resides in all creation.

For remember if one does not see god
in all then one really does not see-feel-touch-taste
or hear the god of creation at all.
By James Russell Lowell (1819-1891)
