The Multicolored Hat​
Once upon a time there were two people walking in a field a short distance apart. Suddenly, something appeared between them just for a moment. It was dressed in clothes that were a white brighter than the sun, but wore a hat that appeared red to one person, and blue to the other.
Later the two people met and talked about the experience. One person said, "Wasn't it great seeing ‘That’ with the red hat on?" The other person replied, "No ‘That’ was wearing a blue hat."
They began to get into a big argument and as a result they both missed the Spiritual experiences meaning.


THE HERO​
Once there were two countries, one called the land of Bliss, the other the land of Woe. Between these two regions flowed a swift, wide and dangerous river in which many had lost there lives trying to cross.

One day, there came a man who so loved the people that he announced he had come to place a rope from one bank of the river to the other in order that others might cross safely

Tying a rope to a tree and taking the other in his hand, he plunged into the current to battle the waves. Unfortunately, hunters thinking him to being a struggling animal, shot and mortally wounded him. Still he managed to fasten the rope to a tree on the opposite side of the river before vanishing beneath the rapids.

Marveling at this, the people began to worship him although few people tried to cross the river themselves. Public speakers preached that the Hero had died to save others and that by believing in and praising him, they would go effortlessly to the land of Bliss when they died.

Listening sadly, the spirit of the Hero Whispered, "My brothers you have been mistaken, for verily I had lived to save you. But you have forgotten the rope, for this end did I come and no other. Although I am near to encourage and inspire, I cannot carry you across the river by myself, no matter how much you implore me to."

But the prayers and the adulation's of the people were too loud for the voice of the Hero to be heard.......

There may be only one Religion, but there seems to be over seven and a half billion versions of it.
