@ABCDEF7 how many do that and why?

ABCDEF7 · M

@sexysam This is the objective of religion.

So it's fine if the religion commands to what they think is right?

ABCDEF7 · M

@sexysam No, god has given you the ability to analyse and decide what is right. Religion just helps you understand the line of thought. Spirituality helps you easily identify most right and wrong in this regard.

How does one know what's the difference between religion and spirituality?

ABCDEF7 · M

@sexysam Learning from what is internal to you is spirituality. Religion helps you learn the same thing from what is external to you. Outside thing can be biased, but when you identify the you internally, it's true and can't be biased. You just need to identify your SELF.

SELF, I can understand. What's outside on internal and external you spoke off?

ABCDEF7 · M

@sexysam Externally, you need language, sentences, interpretation and logic to know what is right and what is wrong. Internally, you just need to connect to your self(soul), no language, no logic, you directly gets answer to your queries.

@ABCDEF7 so if one connects to the Soul, there is nothing called internal or external. It's the soul communicating in the external world. Am I right?

ABCDEF7 · M

@sexysam No, Your subconscious can connect to your soul, and your conscious brain can connect to your subconscious. Whereas you(your brain) can connect to external world through your senses and the memory.
