Answer 2

for people that are able to a few sort of emotional comprehension, then i might say specific. popular people might agree that they decide to steer away from pointless harm to a distinctive man or woman. this might mean that the axiom on which different morals are based could desire to be intrinsic as long because of the fact the guy is able to establish needed and pointless harm. After the axiom has been laid, precis thoughts like homicide, stealing, and mendacity could be addressed. So to illustrate. With pointless harm, homicide isn't justified if the guy kills for no reason in any respect; although, if a man or woman kills yet somebody else to maintain his own existence for the reason this is heading off pointless harm. A greater subjective occasion could be finding out directly to save the two 5 people or one man or woman from a dashing practice. The practice is on one track yet you need to use a lever to divert the practice to a distinctive track. One track has 5 people, yet another track has one. What might you %? maximum folk might % saving the 5 because of the fact the lives stored outweighs the lives lost. So specific, i think of morality is intrinsic and does not require dogma or theistic teachings from faith.

The intrinsic nature of religion is to prepare a meeting ground where our souls can meet God, whom we call Krishn. Unfortunately we are sold out to the dictates of our minds and hearts because of being under material bondage. Though aspirations of all living souls is the same, which is getting that infinite happiness which is our due, but due to our wrong approach that happiness is elusive to us. The moment we make a turn around, Krishn comes infront and that is the happiness which we all are seeking, and that is our intrinsic nature.

Answer 4

Well of true Religion, it is love. the souls nature is to try to
1. selfishly enjoy things, ie consumption, trying to be 'god' what most people are doing now
2. negate, this is examplified by a person who almost drowned, will not go in water anymore from fear of it. So this means that because I have not found happiness or peace by being a consumer of things in this world i try to detach myself from it all, and go inside. I want to merge to nothing.. I want nothing of this world.

and the highest full potential of the soul
3. Love, Devotion, Surrender Relationship, when it is offered to the correct place- The Source- then supreme fulfilment and peace and variegatedness comes. God reciprocates our love, and we are in the constitutional natural position.

Now in this world, we are like ice blocks. we think we are hard, we think this is our intrinsic nature, but really our true nature is wet and liquid. By association with matter since time immemorial, we have become perverted, and are now trying to find love in all the wrong places....:-D So all we have to do is melt our block like hearts by associating with those true saints who have the fire of God's love in them. and we come to our true nature.
put your dedication and love to God, and that is pretty much the TRUE nature of TRUE religion.
