Real religion is based on glorification of the Holy Names of God and diplomacy not politics and violence. It is always best to fight for religious
principles with the weapon of knowledge of reality distinguished from illusion for the welfare of all people than it is to fight with the weapon of
violence which is just aggressive politics and animal life.
In the war with the weapon of knowledge everyone becomes the winner because reality is distinguished from illusion with no bloodshed. But in the war with
the weapon of violence the loser is dishonored. Thus nonviolent glorification
of God's holy names and diplomacy is eternal and universal religious principle that must be practiced by all people.
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Anyone (people) who has once proclaimed violence as their method
is inevitably forced to take the lie as their principle.
Good words.
Although police response to the protests, especially at a
sacred site during a sacred month, was from all accounts
heavy-handed and that has resulted in missiles coming
from Gaza, which has then resulted in Israeli air
strikes on Gaza.
But I am far away, on the far east of North America, and
perhaps someone closer can comment.
Peace be with you all!
