The Whole or the Fullness is not concerned with religions

The Whole or the Fullness is not
concerned with  religions


From one religion's perspective, it could be true
that everyone should follow or convert to their religion
in order to establish their God's order in this world.
From another religion's perspective, it could be true
that everyone should be allowed to follow their own religion
in order to establish their God's order in this world.

For God's sake, how could both of these conflicting
positions can be true from their own perspectives?
How could Dvaitam, Vishishtadvaitam and Advaitam
can all be true in their own perspectives?
Either, they all could be true or all could be false
There cannot be in between unless I take a certain position

In a dream, all the characters or events are totally false
and immaterial and this attitude sets me (I AM) free
For a toddler who is listening to a fantasy story, all the
characters and events are totally true, no matter how
illogical the plot or content of the story is and this attitude
gives me (I AM) immense happiness listening to the story

Either totally false or totally true is possible only when
You consider dream or fantasy story as one single entity
If you dissect and divide the dream or fantasy story, then
the division of right and wrong, truth and false are inevitable
By looking at the dream or fantasy story as one single entity
I have an option to either totally accept it or totally renounce it

The truth is, you are the reality, in which all these dreams
and imaginations appear and disappear in the matrix of your
consciousness.  The appearances shines, thanks to the light
from your consciousness, you simply witness them and either
totally renounce all of them as false, the fleeting appearances
or accept all of them as the truth (as nothing but God)

The conflict arises only when some of them are considered
as the truth and the others as the false.  Remember, you cannot
consider certain portions of the dream or the fantasy story
as false and other portions as the truth and the divisions only
appears in the dream or in the fantasy and not outside of it
Therefore, it is either all or nothing and no in between.

Based on the vasanas, time to time, the thought, speech
and the action may continue to take a position and attempt to
divide the cosmos into truth and false, right and wrong, but
remember that too is nothing but appearance in your consciousness
You are the whole in which vasanas and its projections - thought,
speech and action are shined by the light of your consciousness

Bottomline, you either take all of them as the truth (as God) or take
all of them as the false (just an appearance you cannot hold on to)
It cannot be either partially true or partially false.  It is all or nothing
In either case, you stand as the whole for all (all creations)
or the whole for nothing (no creation at all), simply put, you
are the whole in which all the apparent divisions seem to exist. 

All the things, concepts, religions & interpretations - Dvaitam,
Vishishtadvaitam and Advaitam, can be taken as the truth,
as the same fullness is present as the substratum and pervades
all of them.  On the other hand, even if one or some of these are added
or removed, the fullness the Existence-consciousness principle (I AM)
remains as it is without any change, thus rest of them can be taken as false

This is beautifully explained in the following mantra on the fullness (Purnam),
Then there is no conflict about the things, concepts, religions and their
interpretations within oneself (Adhyatma), with the universe of objects
(Adhibhuta) and with the superintending Divinity (Adhideva).  The peace
(shanti three times) exists with all of them, by the attitude of appreciating
the presence of fullness in all of them or just taking only the fullness alone

Om poornamadah poornamidam poornaat poornamudachyate
Poornasya poornamaadaaya poornamevaavashishá¹£yate
Om shaantih shaantih shaantih
