For religious peace

In the face of violence and wars in which religion is all too often involved, Lord HAMSAH MANARAH affirms: “One cannot prove one’s faith by destroying that of others. One cannot claim to love God while killing one’s neighbour to defend one’s faith. Finally, one cannot want the unity of mankind while continuing to quarrel and kill one another in the name of this or that version of the Divine Principle.” (Le Flambeau d’Unité, p. 69)
God is the indivisible Energy of Love which, under various Names, is the same for all beings. [1]
Seeing in religions, once stripped of human projections, different paths leading to the same goal opens the way to religious and planetary peace.
And for those who wish to develop the feeling of unity with all believers, here, for example, is a short extract from the “Aumist Meditation for all”:

“May Love, Peace, Harmony and Brotherhood reign among all Men,
all peoples and all Nations.
Let us join in thought all those who pray as we do
in Temples, Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Ashrams and Gompas. [2]
Let us feel at one with all those who pray for peace in the world
and for the spiritual progress of humanity.”
(Le Flambeau d’Unité, p. 429)
