Religious books and this man
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.
We take birth in a family and we are brought up in that family and therefore, we take up the religion to which that family belongs. We are not independent in this field and that is the reason, there are very few conversion. In some countries like India the rulers had been converting the people from one religion to the religion of the rulers and that process continued for centuries. though this conversion was not allowed by the principles of their own religions, still they converted people with a belief that they are doing something very good. We have seen that people in India were Hindus by religion, but when the Muslim rulers ruled this country for centuries they converted the people as Muslims and that is the reason in 1947, a new country had to take its birth known as Pakistan and all those who were Muslims at that stage, their forefathers were not Muslims but they were converts and since they had been Muslims for centuries, they had adopted the life of Muslims and they liked to continue as Muslims. similar had been the condition in other countries where the Muslims ruled and similar had been the condition in those countries where the Christians ruled and they also converted people as Christians. So there had been conversions too.
All the religions on the earth have got their prophets and all the religions on this earth have got their religious books and it is also a tradition that people in those religions used to recite works in those religious books at least twice a day. They are still following these traditions in spite of the fact very few people in all the religions are able to understand what is written in the original texts because those texts are available in those languages which are not in use today. That is the reason the people are just reading those religious books without understanding the things what they had been heard and recited themselves. All these texts are written in he language spoken at that stage and now most of the people are speaking and understanding spoken language in that particular area. The people with these books had been converting the people at far off places and that is the reason they are not in a position to understand these texts.
We have seen some translations, but we have noted that very few people could give an exact translation. The translators had been giving their own views and that is the reason these translations are not matching with the original texts and that is the reason there is no direct communication of spirit of the words utilized by the prophets. So the people are not following exactly what is written in those texts. Some people in each religion are opening their own institutions to start discourses on the texts and in due course we have noted that these people could earn huge amounts, but if one says that these people could communicate something to the people, that is wrong. They had been setting their own groups and thus there had been so many sub divisions i.e. so many new sub religions have taken their birth.
We all know that all the religious books are giving us guidelines and when we do not understand the text, we cannot digest what is given to us. That is the reason, most of the people are looking just to be belonging to a particular religion because of their hair style, because of their language, because of their way of life, because of their way of saluting, because of their clothes, but it is not certain that they are people from that religion and they understand the text of that religion.
Time has come that the people should be made to understand the text, but it has become difficult for the scholars, but there had been much adulteration in most of the texts. There were no arrangements of printing and that is the reason most of the texts had been written by hand or had been learnt by heart and that is the reason there are chances of adulteration. People are just following these texts without understanding these texts and therefore, time has come when scholars of all over the world must come forward and must bring points which are common in all the religions and should bring a new text which should be in the language of the people in different regions so that people should recite and understand what they are reciting so that they could be able to adopt the way of life given to them. The present system is giving birth to fundamentalists and the people are just believing in a religion without understanding what had been said by heir prophets who founded their religion. There is something wrong with the present system and when people recite with full voice something meaning of which are foreign to them, they are making fools of themselves. This system must stop without any further delay.
It is a tragedy with the man and especially with those who are showing that they are religious person. They are listening all when they are in a religious place and when they are out very few of them could tell what they had been hearing in the religious place and what they shall adopt in their day to day life. All their visits and all they hear is just a formality and they go there just to show that they are religious persons, but in actual life people of all the religions are standing at the same platform and all are involved in crimes, sins and misconducts and no religion can claim that it could produce better people. The history to the man is the same in all the countries and in all the religions and when we calculate, we can say that no religion could produce better people and no religion can claim supremacy in this field.
And the main cause is the same that people are not understanding their texts and they are just reciting words which are not coming out of their soul and heart. These are ritual reciting and nothing more. The people may be writing new texts, but there is no chance that the people on this earth shall understand the old texts. All these translations and all these religious discourses are futile exercises because the people doing all this are not in a position to reach the same stage from where these texts were pronounced and recorded. And time has changed and this man has adopted a different way of life which is more near to science and technology and therefore, we cannot expect from this man that he shall go back and become a man of the period when these texts were pronounced. The man of today has already stopped believing in all the mythologies attached to religions and they want that what cannot be done should not be pronounced nor it should be heard. so the scholars should understand the psychology of the man of today and must come forward with life-style which could be adopted by this man on this earth.
