The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly.

We do a lot of light classical programming with that, too... obviously... a lot of Tchaikovsky music, Grieg, things like that which have become less classical with classical concerts.

The Way is not a religion: Christianity is the end of religion. 'Religion' means here the division between sacred and secular concerns, other-worldliness, man's reaching toward God in a way which projects his own thoughts.

There is only one nature - the division into science and engineering is a human imposition, not a natural one. Indeed, the division is a human failure it reflects our limited capacity to comprehend the whole.
Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.

Carrying A Self
you carry a self with you
and you barely know who
but just the same you carry it with you
simply because you can't go
you can't be without that self
that 's you, and sometimes
what the self wants you
simply can't do but you must
lest there be a division within
and so in yourself there are rooms
where you and this self and the
rest can be at home....
give each a space to be itself and
yourself, toast and celebrate...
then mind you, you smile
now, there is unity in this diversity...
lust, love, greed, charity, silence
noise, solitude, crowd, cowardice,
bravery, honesty and some much
needed lies, visibility and invisibility...
you must learn, these are necessities.

There Lies The Difference
There Lies the Difference
I dont have to go out tonight
I dont have to guess who Ill see
I havent been lonely
Since the first time we met
Now I know Ill never be.
Cause I really care about you
And you really care about me
And there lies the difference
Between now and when I was free.
This time love wont go away
The futures so easy to see
And there lies the difference
Between now and what used to be.
Theres no substitute for the truth
And I know you come straight from the heart
And our love stands out in the light of the day
Not only in the heat of the dark.
Cause I really care about you
And you really care about me
And there lies the difference
Between now and when I was free.
This time love wont go away
The futures so easy to see
And there lies the difference
Between now and what used to be.
If I could step back in time
With offers of you to be mine
Id only step back
As far as when you came to me.
And this time love wont go away
The futures so easy to see.
And there lies the difference
Between now and what used to be.

To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.

Saying the unspeakable
Such as President Obama
may not say it; but I
who am nobody, may speak it:
the God of many names and One
does not wish division;
you and I (there are no others?)
do not wish division;
who makes division?
Why do all seek an ‘enemy’?
The dispossessed invent an enemy
on whom to blame their plight;
the rich invent an enemy
to excuse their greed;
those who worship God under one name
make enemy of those who worship God
under another name;
even those who worship God under the same name
make sects in order to invent an enemy;
is it because it is easier
to make an enemy than a friend?
is it easier to fear
than to love?
is it easier to hate
than to love?
is it easier to count to two
than think of three or one?
do we feel more powerful
if we have an enemy?
and now we fire at enemies
invisible beyond the horizon..
are enemies more attractive
to our life than friends?
Tell me, poets, tell me, sages;
tell me, saints; oh tell me God;
tell me, arithmeticians:
when division multiplies
our enemies, why do we
so love division?
The God of many names and One
makes division in Himself
with love and without hate;
you and I (there are no others?)
love each other all the more
in the sameness of our differences;
does human kind
now hate itself so much?
who thinks division, loves division?
makes an enemy of otherness?
forgets that God is One?

I think that's one of the things that has always put me in kind of an odd niche. It's that all of my understanding of orchestral music is via film, not via classical music like it's supposed to be. To me it's the same, it doesn't make any difference.

God Created Human Perfection
In the beginning
God created
human perfection
and it was good
but paradise bites
when free choice
involves poison
sharp serpent fangs
of cunning deception
innocence lacks experience
even in the Almighty’s
presence light are we lost
is themed in countless
stories unless God’s precise word
is with wisdom obeyed
in adversity saints saved prayed
all mortal souls fall life short
of the undeserved glory of God
salvation granted is not earned
it is undeserved glory from God
our saving graces these themes
have and will continue to be
written upon countless times
defined in affirmation of God
confusion lies in deceptive values
material gain at any cost opposed
to our creator’s religious principles
stone written right and wrong laws.
Religion and God has defined
guidelines to illuminate truth
morality which time and history
has over ages proven repeatedly
we ignore at our own peril lost
perceive hypocritical humanity
through the divine eyes of God
while still retaining human heart
then wonder woe deceitful man
at immense pain human creation
gives our God marvel at God’s
love in offering grace salvation.

Only go parallel
Roads can only go parallel
Side by side but good performance overall
Aim same yet temperamentally different
Always to see them but nothing to comment
Two sides can not be one
It can not be felt by someone
Many have said it this before
We got to simply follow therefore
You have to shed many things
Try to forge and attain something
Divine light is there since centuries
Heal the wounds without causing injuries
It needs soul searching
Not required any false teaching
Leave it to your own conscience
Apply it correctly with mind’s presence
Knowledge is power like rain shower
It may benefit to all and not fewer
It can not go with ignorance
It is for all time and not at once
Light can not be shielded
Darkness can not equated
Both has different character
Yet supplement to each other

The difference of natural talents in different men is, in reality, much less than we are aware of; and the very different genius which appears to distinguish men of different professions, when grown up to maturity, is not upon many occasions so much the cause as the effect of the division of labour. The difference between the most dissimilar characters, between a philosopher and a common street porter, for example, seems to arise not so much from nature as from habit, custom, and education. When they came into the world, and for the first six or eight years of their existence, they were perhaps very much alike, and neither their parents nor playfellows could perceive any remarkable difference...

Enjoy Eden Together
Animals, birds and insects say
All of us have the same way
We have only one God to pray
So we pass our days in gay
No caste, colour and religion
No politicians and region
We don't have human's vision
Safe from boundary division
No education and culture
Free from ego, pride any rupture
No quarrel for bright future
Enjoy equal rights of pasture
Ram, Ramayana and scripture
Don't reflect in their character
Would that we were human birth
We enjoy Eden together on earth
