Religion - is no longer necessary when love reigns

05/24/2011

In the book of Jeremiah God says, ‘I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts… they shall all know me’. The law that God will place in human hearts is love. Then, no one will need to have religion or morals preached to them anymore: they will all know from within what they must do, how they must work, serve and love. So long as humans do not know how to live in love, there will be religions with their precepts and laws, but these will not be enough to lead them to God. When love comes, humans will no longer need religion, or rather, to the extent that they have succeeded in internalizing religion, it will be expressed through them in the form of kindness, radiance, selflessness, gentleness and light. It is because love has left humanity that religion has had to be instituted to make up for it. But once love returns, religion will disappear, because it will be back in human hearts.
