It is easier to understand how much difficulties the children, even the children of below 7 face in assessing and comparing the values of two coins- one is a coin of 50 paisa and the other is a coin of 25 paisa. But complexity exists to understand what stupidity or danger exist when any of that children focuses on the values of different sides of each coin to determine which side contains more value- whether the sides contain similar symbol or the sides contain different symbols, and focus to determine which is the back and which is the front of the coins. The gap
between what the human beings read and what they understand; and the gap between what they learn, though they can accept, reject or develop that they understand and what they implement, can vary from person to person but the gaps are expected to be reduced or to be bridged. All the eligious guidelines given by Him are given for the well being of human beings.
Those who truly believe that all of their activities will be rewarded by Him at resurrection can leave the greed and can avoid committing harms to others and can avoid the willingness to commit mistakes for gaining undue benefit on earth and can sacrifice. Simultaneously human beings must not deprive others even who committed misdeeds or who are identified as criminals in other aspects. None should engage themselves to nullify the good fortune which is given by Him or by virtue of Him.
The sun and moon like some other elements can be perceived as instances when human beings apply justice on earth, wherein all are moving independently and are not disturbing others but are enlightened by others. Guidelines show the paths but human beings are independent on their ways to please Him but must be accountable if their activities commit harm to others. The guidelines given by Him are unquestionable. The implementation means that the followers will follow the guidelines to make or establish themselves as model that can allure others.
The guidelines that are perfect need not be given forces to implement but needs interpretations provided that the interpreters are responsible if they advocate others to accept the interpretations. The followers of the guidelines must compete with others not only with the perfections of their guidelines that are given by Him, but with the extent to which they can establish themselves as the best model for human beings. All the human beings should believe that the focus of religious practices should be on becoming perfect on earth by the determinants of their success
and willingness to be helpful for others and not to be harmful for others, by the success to be grateful, by the willingness and success to allow others be independent, by the ability and success to compensate for their misdeeds, by the ability and success to sacrifice and to leave greed for the sake of getting rewards at resurrections.
Obviously the religious leaders must take it as a disgrace of their religions if the followers are chaotic and become threat for the freedom of human beings wherein all human beings are the examinees of Him. Religions, religious guidelines,and the true believers never should become obstacles on the way of anyone who is comparatively the most perfect as a human being on the way to reach his/her goal without committing harm to others. As long as such obstacles exist, His objectives and the efforts of His perfect and dearest messengers remain unmet and dishonored by the followers of the concerned religions. Human beings need to understand that all the religious guidelines are to ensure human beings move or pass their lives freely and undisturbed as long as they are perfect and can apply justice on their ways and are helpful not harmful for others; and to ensure human beings be compensated to the best possible extent for the sufferings committed by others.
All the religious guidelines are to show the paths for the well being of human beings even the religious guidelines that contains the clause that
implies that alterations and modifications took place even during the period of falling the guidelines among human beings- all are to assist human beings to perform as perfect as desired from a perfect examinee of Him. It is not impossible to form a policy wherein the wishes of the assets owners will be considered and the equal rights of the dependants thereto will be respected; and simultaneously wherein the option to comply with the existing religious guidelines as well as the option to comply with the desire of equality will be given, when the question is distribution of
assets……..
