Comparison between two aspects of religious practice

Belief vs

 Although usually people tell us that we suffer because

we have no faith, reason of our suffering is deeper; but
the worst effect of these teachings of false prophets is
returning to people and attract them to materialistic
concepts of imaginary and symbolic God, invented to
suit their interests.
This presentation is intended to summarize the

speculative faith and blind beliefs, as opposed to
devotion and real concepts about Divinity as a
person.
In both ways you end up winning, "faith", but only one
leads to freedom and happiness.

Mix of concepts and philosophies:

syncretism, but called union in peace of
religions.

Philosophy and teaching is delivered through

a disciple succession or lineage.

His concept of holiness is: Be one with God.

Achieving a void and formless state.

Concept of holiness: to serve the divinity

Saint Matthew 4:10 Jesus said to him:
Begone Satan! For it is written, worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shall you serve.

They take the help of a Guru to reach a

certain level but then rejected his Guru to
proclaim themselves as "god"

present for progress.
