The Unity of Religions
If one's pleasures and pains balance, and balance is enough, then one is essentially Buddhist. If one regards one's parents and elders with respect, one is essentially Muslim. If one sees the divine within themselves, one is essentially New Age. If one sees the divine in everything around them, then one is essentially Hindu. If one atones with 'all and everything,' one is essentially Judaist. If one comes to love others by holding that all humans belong to one family, one is then, essentially Christian.
The unity of religions is, in addition to what is in common between them, is also what manifests from their integration.
Therefore, the unity of religions is the balance between pleasure and pain, respect for all who came before one's self in life, a realization of the divine within, and the same without, and with atonement with 'all and everything,' eyes refresh to its original sight enabling one to see all beings as family, one.
