The Parable of The Orchard
"All of the Religions of the Earth that The One God has given unto Man are like unto a magnificent Orchard in which there are many Trees. The fruit of each of these different trees is sweet and filled with the Divine Nectar of God's Grace and Mercy. The root of each of these trees is one of the Divine Mercies that God has sent to Man in the form of His Prophets, Saints, Buddhas, Saviors and Avataras. "Each of these trees is one of Man's Religions. And those who follow that Religion are charged with protecting and tending that particular tree. And this is good. "The Faithful of God's Eternal Universal Religion have been Charged and Ordained by God to be the Guardians of the Orchard itself. We enjoy the fruit of all of God's Mercies alike and His Supreme Promise of Perfect Final Union with Him at the end of this life, as well. "But, there is one tree in the orchard whose fruit is poisonous. This tree is called the Bigot-Tree. And those who eat of it's fruit are quickly poisoned and driven to such madness that they try to destroy all of the other trees. This Bigot-Tree is the source of all of the violence and horror that men and women do in the Name of God." Maitreya The Friend |
The Parable of The Ocean
"God is like unto the great Ocean that covers the earth. "The Ocean manifests itself differently in different places. In some places, the Ocean is peaceful, warm and calm; in other places, the Ocean is cold and rough. The People who live in these different places, know the Ocean differently according to their experience of it. "The Eskimos in Alaska know the Ocean as cold and hard and harsh. The Polynesian Islanders know the Ocean as warm and giving, but also as powerful and destructive during hurricanes. Some know the Ocean as quickly changing and unpredictable. Still others know the Ocean as steady and dependable. "Due to their ignorance of the Whole Ocean, people in different places know the Ocean differently and call it by different names. But one who knows the Whole Ocean, knows that all of these different descriptions and names are but One Ocean and no other. "So it is with God. God is the Supreme Divine Ocean in which we all live, move and have our Being. Due to ignorance of the Whole of God, different people describe God differently and call Him by different Names. But he who knows the Whole of God knows that these different descriptions and Names are One God and no other." Maitreya The Friend
"There is One Universal God. There is One Universal Spirit. One, whole, and indivisible. There is no other. Due to Spiritual Ignorance, the people see Universal God differently. Because of this, they call Him by different Names." The Holy Book of Destiny
