Why Worshiping?

                Why do we have heros at all?

                We would like to be a hero.

                We give him, the hero, all the qualities which we think we want.

                The hero is a marvelous brave man, a handsome man,

                A man who is kind and generous.

                He is a man who will be a lovely husband.

                He is the essence of knowledge.

                We are not all this, so we project that on that hero.

                So, what we are not, we hope he is.

                But he may be what he is,

                And not what we “think” he is.

                The moment we worship somebody,

                We draw a circle around ourselves

                And around that person

                And we will not want anybody to come into that circle.

                Thereby we have no love, we create enmity.

                However, if we begin to be aware of everything, including the hero,

                Then we will have a mind which has dignity, and freedom.

                Such a mind knows what it is to love a human being.

                And when we love a human being, we also love God.
