Module - E
Unit - E04: Role of Religions and Scriptures
By
Raja Subramaniyan
On completion of this Unit, the student will be able to
(a) Identify how religion helps people who are at various levels of
intelligence.
(b) See the oneness of all religions
Notes to the teacher:
All the religions are to be compared.
While there is no difference among religions, there are differences among
people. It is not possible to give same prescription to two different patients.
So depending on the status of the patient different paths to recovery is shown
by the religions. Depending on the profile of the patients, the doctor is
classified as 'Jaundice Doctor' or 'Malaria Doctor' since they treat that type
of patients more often. Although all the doctors are educated in the same school
of medicine, they are perceived differently, based on the type of the patients
they treat. Any of the doctors could treat all the common diseases!
Similarly, any religion can guide any human being BUT due to the common profile
of the followers, the various religions are perceived differently.
Thus, the same religion is portrayed differently based on the followers.
