So , humans in the species Homo sapiens have been around for 300,000 years or more
The names that we know of – God or God like figures are Rama Krishna, ( 5000 years ? ) Jesus ( 2000 years) chaitanya maha prabhu ( 500 years ) swami Narayana ( 200 years ) approximately are very recent.
So does it mean that all the people who died before them – for them there is no hope ?
That would be utter foolishness
Any religion that claims their founder is the ultimate , has not given consideration to humans before the founder was there
Truth is – God is just. He Always gives everyone an equal opportunity irrespective of time or place.
The ignorance of followers makes them believe that anyone who does not accept Swaminarayan or Jesus or Krishna is a sinner and is doomed for failure
The wisdom of God is always there – ever fresh ever pure ever enlightening- even when the founders of the religion are absent
So what is that wisdom ? Is it something in books? Something in imagination? Something in our logic ?
The wisdom of God is infinite , more than any human can ever put together. All our attempts to figure out god with our intellect will always be incomplete
So for Christmas, our goal should be to meditate in silence and learn about the infinite in the depths of our intuitive consciousness. Since It is there that we can know about him – it is the direct link to God
