WHY NOT UNITE?

 

IFby Religion people mean God enjoined Love, Peace, and Charity, and IF Churches stand for World Brotherhood and social justice, what unconfessable, devilish designs keep people separated and waging wars?

IF to be really RELIGIOUS is to be good, to live wholesomely, to be friendly and peaceful, and to treat other people as Brothers;

IF true RELIGION consists in seeking after Truth, and to strive to improve ourselves;

IF we are so much in love with the principles of Religion, and eager to constitute Churches of sincere and devoted souls, and pure hearts;

IF we respect God so much, and want to enjoy the heavenly Blessings of life,

WHY DON´T WE UNITE, AND LIVE AS BROTHERS? ….

True, doctrines, dogmas and mysteries belong to the Churches, and these cannot reject their traditions, forget their doctrines, countermand their dogmas, or ignore their mysteries. BUT, IF these Churches are really religious, they cannot disregard, despise, and forget true RELIGION, or develop selfishly or self-centeredly, sectarianly, by totally ignoring the GOLDEN RULE.

WHY don´t Churches Unite for the sake of Religion, and keep their mysteries, dogmas, doctrines, and traditions to themselves, and thus remain linked to God and serve the better interests of mankind in spite of all?

IF Churches, Spiritual Sanctuaries, learned Societies, philosophical and benevolent Fraternities, and mystical Schools of all denominations can thus UNITE and work friendly and peaceful manner under the Fatherhood of God, as purported by the UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS ALLIANCE, without losing their independence and sovereign autonomy, WHAT PREVENTS THEM from justifying themselves thus?

THE ETERNAL SPIRITUAL COVENANT is the wisest agreement as well as the best way to justify our earnestness of purposes and sincerity of aspiration. What negative forces and evil complexes stop us, then, from underwriting it?

Whether we care to admit it or not, the UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS ALLIANCE is the safe haven of noble souls and pure hearts who take the Eternal Spiritual Covenant seriously. At least we know where we stand, and wherein lies the essence of true Religion, the real oasis of World Peace and Human Brotherhood under the Fatherhood of God.

 SOMETHING ABOUT WHICH TO WANDER OR WORRY

What kind of Religion can anyone give after killing animals, so as to eat their flesh?

What kind of noble feelings can a heart have when it is still capable of hating, cursing and despising?

Can the hand that blesses war, hypocrites and Lords of pride and plunder really heal the sick and bless pure children, honest brides and noble souls who look at life face to face?

 Can the mouth that curses, vilipendiates, lies and excommunicates actually speak the Truth?

Are the eyes that are accustomed to pomp and wealthy surrounding capable to admire the beauty of nature and the Divine character of life?

“Beware, be not deluded and misguided by those who claim to be Godsend, and constitute “their own” holy Church, Divine, heavenly School, world supreme council, perfect Fraternity, or worldwide yogism, or mystical sanctums. They are sectarian and dogmatic.

 They practice selection and grandeur to their own advantage, and they are selfish and sectarian because they place their particular interests above those of the rest of mankind. If they were truthful and sincere, really earnest and worthy, they would erase of all their buildings. These queer megalomaniacs are easily detected; their picture appears on all their books, in every single issue of their Magazine and in every Hall of their buildings; they never lose the least opportunity to make their name or person appear anywhere, anyhow, everywhere. They teach absolute truth on a basis of holy exclusivism, and they refuse to be treated as inferiors, subordinates, or followers. They make their own laws, blow their own horns and swell their own balloon-ago”

 

Paul Dienst, in his Search for Truth (Leipzig, 1952)

 

“To join the UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS ALLIANCE is a proof of Impersonality, non-sectarianism, non-bigotry, non-selfishness, non-profiterism, and non-evil-mindedness. Conversely, it is an unquestionable evidence of sincerity of purpose, purity of earnestness, and Service to God and Humanity. When we deal with Members of the UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS ALLIANCE we know where we stand”
