The Religious Leaders Around The World
I write to you in the name of The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
There are many religions around the world with different views. It's time to put all those differences aside and focus on one thing - connection.
The world is one family and though we may have our differences, we're all part of one system.
Religion plays an important role in society - it teaches people about God, morality and ethics and it comforts and calms people down through prayer, faith and belief.
However, like the entire world, today religion is rooted in selfishness, everyone is seeking to benefit themselves.
It's time to prioritize God and return to Him. What does it mean to return to God? It means our inner qualities have to change from selfishness to love of others. We have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
We also have to come to the truth. One such truth is that The Bible and The Quran do not speak about the things of this physical world, they speak only about the forces of our internal qualities. Both Books explain how our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to love of others.
Our internal qualities connect us to God. When we're in the quality of selfishness, we're far away from God. When we're in the quality of love of others, we're closer to God.
Since God is love, if we acquire the quality of love of others we enter into equivalence of form with God and become united with Him in quality.
As religious leaders, you have to teach people about the attributes of God, that our inner qualities have to change from selfishness to love of others, that we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
Teach people that they have to cry out to God for help. God has to change us, we can't change ourselves.
Teach people that the world is one family, that we have to cooperate, collaborate and connect in mutual responsibility and that we have to take care of each other.
All teachings about hatred, division, separation and disconnection have to stop.
As religious leaders, you have to stop seeking selfish pleasures - individual accomplishments and achievements, status within your organizations, power and fame, pride in knowledge, being seen as righteous, love of money and others.
Pray that the Kingdom of God may come to Earth, pray for salvation that we may exit exile, pray for redemption that we may return to God and pray for unity and adhesion with The Creator.
May the One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide you, may He lead you and may He show you the way.
May God bring us out of the quality of selfishness into the quality of love of others. May He unite us as one. There is none else besides Him.
God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
