I have often pondered about the Biblical account of how humankind was created. Genesis 1:26 says, "Then God said, 'Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness...'" Why is this not a topic of conversation among the various religious groups who believes that there is but one God which they all identify with different names (i.e. Allah, Krishna, Jehovah, Abah, Creator, Alpha, Omega etc.)?
Why doesn't Genesis 1:26 account God saying, ""Let me make humankind in my image," as opposed to "Let us make humankind in our image." Should we dare to put aside differences and reconnect with our sole purpose of existence? The universe is abundant and unending. Therefore isn't it logical to believe that we are actually all serving the same CREATOR?
Though I realize that religion is on the list of what topics to not discuss in a public forum, after reading this book, I am convinced that all religions should come together to worship in harmony. We are worshipping an unlimited God who has many images - we are the images of those who created us.
We often pray for world peace but how can this ever be achieved if we are not focusing on the Supreme One who is responsible for our existence. Conversion is one of the primary goals of every religious order known in this material world. Rather than focus on being proven right, what if we focused on breaking up the systems of materialism that has caused us to forget who we are truly indebted to - our CREATOR.
The main character is a nonimmigrant man, Kuang Shi, who has come to America to attain a higher education from Columbia University, a prospected six-figure income, and dibs on what was once known to be, "The American Dream." In the wake of possibly receiving great rewards for his five years of diligent studying and sacrifice, he meets a spiritual teacher, Sanatan Swami, and his disciple - Ananta - who begin to assist him along the intended destiny of his soul.
Before you began to bash me, read the book without prejudice. Though it is a novel, it is relateable to our current times and a great read.
