   Jules: There is this great paradox in life. Religion is supposed to make us more disciplined, more civil and to love one another. Peace, respect and love should be the common core values of all religions. But the reality of religion is far from this expectation and many people are asking "What is the right religion to follow?" Mr OWO: Religion has become a convenient and powerful instrument to influence the masses. Yes, feelings of hatred by religious people appear to be a common phenomenon. Jonathan Swift, English satrist, (1667- 1745) lamented: "We have enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another". Do we blame the religion or man's inability to discriminate what is right and what is wrong and to have their actions determined by their deluded thinking? Jules:  I was tempted to say that it is through the fault of religion that we have so much disharmony amongst the various races of mankind. Then I equated that question with another one: "Whether money was the root of all evil?". The answer I have discovered is man's greed and not money. Mr OWO: Yes it is the human weakness which has to be overcome. The teachings of a True religion takes us beyond our human and mundane perspective. The teachings are universal truths and cannot even be labeled as part of a religion. It is about the spiritual quality of mankind so that we would view every man as a part of the universal consciousness. That we are all ONE. When we realise that, then we will not hurt one another. So does that answer your question of what is the right religion to follow? Jules: Yes. Thank you for the spiritual wisdom
