World’s religions are divided into two major classes.

1- Monotheism based
2- Polytheism based
3- Mixed (sort of confusing for many)
4-Unknown/undetermined.

Pure Christianity and Judaism belong to group 1 along with islam. Current day christianity as per islamic view is no longer monotheistic.

Others in general belong to group 2.]

Spirituality is common among alomost all of major religions.
Doing ‘good’ to please super power is common to amost all.

Meaning of ‘good’ deed is different however when it comes to pleasing super power but doing ‘good’ to please others including animals is similar in almost all ‘religions’.

Its not surprising that when someone is not ‘happy’ the person will find anything spiritually related soothing regardless of its source. Not that spirituality does not get the credit by itself.

Its just hard to have a ‘religion’ without spirituality…meaning connecting to something unseen or ‘percepting’ something above and beyond one’s five senses.

vision
hearing
smell
touch
and taste

This is like agreeing upon the weakness of human being which relies on these five senses to be able to accept or refute existence of something.
(e.g. scientific experiments to prove something)

Now this could set the stage or model which guppies (if they like) can use as scaffold to wrap their thoughts upon to explain why they find a particular religion best.

This is one of the most important point. I am very much interested realising the “Paramatma”. Many of my questions get answered by Shankara’s Writing and teaching. It also shows me a path which needs to be followed by myself to attain ‘Moksha’ or Salvation.

Some of my questions are:

1. How can I actually visualize or feel God? We know that scriptures tell us that as humans we do not have the physical capability to see God or feel God, and God is in nth dimension (We cannot see anything beyond the third dimension).

2. What is the ultimate Truth?

3. How can one realise the Truth?

4. Life after Death?

5. Where does Karma or Action fit into the human Cycle?

6. How much does “Gnana” or Knowledge contribute for realisation?

7. What is the role of “Bhakti” (there is no equivalent word for Bhakti in English).
