[added for those who aren't familiar with Hindu/Vedanta philosophic definitions.]

Humans have discovered rules that, if followed, seem to better ones chances of ‘living well.’ Of coures these rules about ‘good and bad’ for use are about morality.

As humans we are capabele of discovering laws about the universe that are most often amoral. Still, we seem to be at ‘at home’ in the universe. That may make it a good, moral, universes in some minds.

Due to pure ignorance of the Self – Atman, Prakriti (Godhood) is ‘born’ for merely the necessity of an ‘Order’. That Order is what we perceive and experience in every moment of our life and living. We see in the atom, solar system, water/carbon-cycle, cells in the body, etc. etc. This Order alone is what we must recognize as the only Basis and Foundation of Life and hence Morality of any kind. This is Law of Karma, known as Dharma. The workings of Dharma is also Universal as we experience it universally.

This Universal experience alone is what is discussed exhaustively in Puranas (Epics), Smritis, etc. The Law of Karma thus is what’s not understood properly today, for such a conflict to exist. If at all we take it as ‘Exclusive’ from the common-denominator, which is the Unversality of its application, and hence Inclusive of and Coexistence with Atman or Brahman, without any conflict! This is the message of Vedas and Sanatana Dharma — Hinduism.

Therefore, our Exclusivity based reasoning is what must siege in order to understand Inclusiveness or coexistence, so that the 2 are not seen as “opposites”.

This trend to take the 2 exclusively, narrowly focus on the differences such as ceremonial, or dogmatic concepts, etc. whats’ causing the endless loop of arguments going no where! This has only resulted in rancor and disagreements that are sown as seeds of violence due to the theological dogmas that it has created.

In fact these seeds of violence, despite having no such difference, continue to get bred by the present day scholars and thinkers and has thus created an atmosphere of divisions of all sorts.

My belief is that unless this seed of violence is removed from the human psyche external violence would not siege much less ‘spirituality’ in its truest sense could truly grow and progress.

I’m neither a pessimist nor an optimist, just a pragmatist!
