In Christianity, the spiritual self will rise from the dead just as Christ rose from the dead and be united with God forever. The rhinoceros finds no place in him into which to thrust its horn, nor the tiger a place in which to fix its claws, nor the weapon a place to admit its point. Because there is in him no place of death. Early religious people emphasize mere following of taboos, of external laws. The world religions emphasize that the proper inward motive is more important than the keeping of external requirements.
External requirements are important, but, the true inner attitude needs to inform all moral actions.
This spiritual self is not fulfilled in mere following of external religious rituals. Early religious people emphasized such rituals, but the world religions evaluate mere external performance of such ritual, ard teach that the proper inward attitude is more important than mere religious ritual. Religious rituals are important, but the true inner spirit of religious worship needs to infdorm all religious rituals. A new idea of happiness or fulfilment follows from the previous points. The person whose love is the same for enemies or friends, whose soul is the same in honor or disgrace. . . .
