  • The fourth aspect of religion is the idea of God. There will always be fights and discussions: "The God of our family is one and the God of your family is another." There have always been fights. In the old times there was a dispute and the people said that the God of Beni Israel was a special God; so every community and every church made its God a special God. If there is a special God, it is not the special God of a community, but the God of every individual. For man has to make his own God before he realizes the real God. But that God which man makes within himself becomes in the end the door by which he enters that shrine of his innermost being, the real God, which is in the heart of man. Then one begins to realize that God is not God of a certain community or people, but God is the God of the whole being.
