Religion is Quest for Immortality or Love for God?

If Love of God then why to say don't do this or that?? And if we loose our love towards God then we again fall down this mortal world?

And if Immortality then what is meaning of our creation by God if we don't serve him?

Update:

@TrueProber -- If we are God then who create everything? we don't remember anything?

And if Logically Speaking the world will end on the first self-realization but we are still here...

Upanishads say's -- Although the Super-Soul appear to be divided but it never divided it one...and we are part and parcel of Super-Soul.

    Question 1.Is Religion Quest for Immortality or Love for God?

    Answer 1:

    It is for neither. Its intended purpose only to dispel ignorance; the ignorance that we are independent of our Cause (named as God). Love of God is only to develop that ignored knowledge that all are already inseparable, immortal constituent of God. In other words, immortality is not a thing that is freshly to be achieved!

    As a matter of fact, the colour of religion enters into the picture only because, the manner of pursuit advocated by each differs. Otherwise, we will find that religion has little role.

    If the truth is imparted by the parents to the child, systematically in each family, the scope for religion can not arise. Only because the parents are lazy in acquiring the knowledge themselves and imparting to the child, some other person has to enter into and evolve a code and all trouble of fanaticism starts.

    Question 2. If Love of God, then why to say don't do this or that?? And if we loose our love towards God then we again fall down this mortal world?

    Answer 2.

    We have seen that religion is not for love for god, but to suggest various means to dispel our ignorance of not understanding the inseparable relationship with God and our immortality. One of the means to achieve destruction of ignorance is attempt to love our inseparable cause! The occasion for don't do this or that etc., arise only because of our inability to understand things properly. Because of our already existing status of immortality, the question of we 'again' falling down to this mortal world is also meaningless is it not?

    Question 3. If Immortality then what is meaning of our creation by God if we don't serve him?

    Answer 3.

    Since immortality already exists and only realisation is wanted, the question does not arise. The creation and destruction are not there because we always exist as part of God.

    What is then needed?

    Deep study of the scriptures, which are store house of knowledge in the form of experiences of great souls, analysing them logically without giving scope for superstition and realise the goal of acquiring true knowledge is that we are part and parcel of one single Cause. For this purpose religion, if it is found as an impediment, let us not give importance to it. A religion may serve a limited purpose of disciplining; if that disciplining crosses its limit and enters the area of fanaticism or superstition then let us ignore and concentrate on the pursuit of our goal. Let us not hesitate to take the help of science and logic also for honing our spiritual pursuit.

    There are many religions that do not involve a "quest for immortality" nor affection for a deity, let alone center on these concepts, so your questions don't make any sense. If instead of religion you just meant Christianity, then say so.

    By the way, the verb is "lose". The word "loose" is an adjective and rhymes with "goose".

    Hi Speaking Soul, attaining immortality is nothing but becoming God.

    Divine is within. But we search it some where or everywhere outside. Avatar is nothing but one who brings out his divinity fully exposed out. This becomes possible as at least one percent of the population realizes the divinity within. Religion is the way to attain immortality. But practically speaking religions themselves become a hurdle to attain the state of immortality. It is all in the game due to the ignorance ie sin.

    Religion is a path. Immortality or God...is the destination. Different religions have different destinations..Only spiritual practices and meditation can liberate you...Real service to god is service to world.

    It's a union with the Divine. You don't have to have immortality in a religion.

    religion or dharma is for being one with the god. if our motive is immortality then we may fail but if we don't have any motive but just love then one day we will be one with the god.

    Forget religion. Try self analysis, and that will help you to find God
