Groupism is an intrinsic part of all the religions created by people midway who thought everything needed a change based on people?s requirement ? for any religion or religious practice should ultimately make the follower comfortable. Christianity was grouped into ? Roman Catholic, Protestants, Penta Coastal and many more, while Islam was grouped into ? Sunni and Shite, and Hinduism was grouped into Shivaites and Vaishnavites majorly.

Hinduism is about worshipping imaginary idols, Christianity is about following set commandments of one single person, while Islam is about going beyond forms. This am sure is elementary information for anyone who knows what religion is. Here is how you can use all the three system to reach god or become attain enlightenment or attain moksha ? whatever you name it.

Human mind can only think in the form of images, and anything formless is beyond its understanding. Like for instance ? if I say Amitabh Bachchan, you can immediately find his image on your mind, if I say Sanjay your mind will search your database of people you know and find one if you had met anyone by that name or it will create a form which doesn?t have a clear face, and if I say chikalaboo ? your mind goes confused. It cannot relate to anything with that word.

When kids, our minds aren?t formed fully hence we need dolls to keep ourselves busy. And when we are grown we start playing with our minds, as we are able to think in images and sequences. We easily are able to take our mind to the past and also to project it in the future. Likewise when your spiritual level is low, or probably if you are a fresher into religion you surely need an image so that it makes the process easier. Hence Hindus introduced images and idols for humans to make the procedure easy.

Christianity preaches about BEING good to all, and that isn?t an easy thing to do. You simply cannot bless the boss who f**** your happiness all through, and you cannot bless your superior who plays a diplomatic double game behind your back. Of course it comes through immense training of mind that can be attained by prayers to the Gods who have forms. So following Hinduism honestly will convert you into a person like Jesus Christ himself. (There is an interesting book written about Jesus, which says ?Jesus lived in India?. There is an argument that Jesus came to India to learn all the meditation techniques, and got his siddhis from India. He tried preaching in India, but found Indians far ahead of him hence he went back to Jerusalem to bring his own people out of their ignorance. This is also the reason why Jesus is missing from the Bible between the age of 7 and 30)

Once a person is adept at connecting to God directly and has become a Christ himself using Hinduism, he can start to concentrate on the formless God ? which incidentally is Islam. Directly jumping into the formless God is like trying to pass out 12th std without passing out your 10th. Not that you will not succeed, just that chances of failures are very high. Now it is time to break all those images you formed in your mind to keep yourself busy. As we grow up we throw all our dolls and start being content with ourselves. Same way, once your spiritual level is high enough, you can break the forms and try going beyond?..
