Religion reforms us with its own effect and makes us realize its
essential features that never lose their originality at any point unless
there is some chemical reaction. For example, fire is hot but ice is cool, etc.
It has the liberty to initiate its own ethic. It has no gender, no obscurity;
rather, identifies itself with its nobility. It never kills anyone; rather,
always heals everyone. One cannot destroy it; if at all try to destroy it, it is
in vain; rather, he himself is destroyed. It always unites us but never
divides us. It advocates for unity and strength. On the other hand, it
denounces division, which is manmade. It has no founder, no initiator, no
propagator, no creator, and no preacher. It is just auto-created, auto-founded
and hence, it is self-explanatory. It is auto-exhibited. There is a saying in
SANSKRIT, “dharayati iti dharmah”. It has come from “dhru dhatu”.
However, on the other hand, a creed
deals with contradiction and a controversial belief system. No doubt, it unites
a group of people with its essential energy that initiates devotion, but never
allows any democratic way of reformation to its followers and thus, creates clamor
among them when they go against its ethics. BUDDHISM and JAINISM etc. are some
of the examples. It never allows liberty to grow under its umbrella. It is a
particular belief system, which the follower has to obey without any option.
Disobedience is an offense here. It affirms a symbol to represent itself before
the public. It is not universal like religion. It never contains elements of
society in general like religion; as a result, it discards its followers
whenever they go against its principles.
