Spiritual lessons from Computers


Different religions instruct differently to their people. These religious, spiritual instructions vary from place to place and country to country. Some times they contradict drastically. If we believe that all religions are pathways to reach god, self realization and to know thyself, how can we explain for these contradictions and conflict ions.
Christianity never forbade non vegetarianism. Jesus himself served fish food. But pure Hindu, jain, Buddhism forbid non vegetarianism. Alcohol is not bad in some religions. But it is untouchable in many religions. Christianity forgives adultery , if they confess and pledge not to do again. In Islam, they will be punished to death.
In a microscopic examination, let us take a case. It is said that shirdi sai baba took birth again as satya sai baba. Now, sri satya sai baba forbids non vegetarian food. None cooks or eats in the precincts of prashanthi nilayam. But in his previous birth, when he was shirdi sai baba, he used to cook non vegetarian food in a big cauldron and used to serve all the disciples. He used to tease his pure vegetarian disciple by asking him to taste the cooked non veg food and tell the taste.
Why so much variation came from one avatar to another avatar?
Fasting is good in Islam, and during ramdan month, people fast for 40 days. But, the Muslim fakir shirdi sai baba said that it is useless to fast. He forbade fasting. He forbade to search for God with empty stomach.
Jesus says What comes out of mouth is more important than what goes in.
But, here in Hindu saints say what you eat so you burp. Your body becomes what you eat.
when you consider all these things we are a bit confused. Some smart people take shelter under one concept of a religion for justifying their behavior like eating non veg, drinking alcohol.
But what i feel is, there is a good example to consider, in this modern world, and modern age. Computers have occupied the world, the time and the space. Men are living along with computers  hand in hand and hand in glove.Computers have different languages to run. If you want to use computer, you have to write in Java, c, c++, perl, COBOL or Pascal. Any one language can be written for programming. But, while writing that language, you can not insert other language commands in that program. If you insert it will not run. Java is typing language. It cares very much for comma, semicolon and dot(.). If you ignore this pure punctuation rules, Java, program will  not compile and run. some languages like perl, html, asp are not so strict as Java, while doing similar work through commands. But the point is , when you decided to do the work with one language, you have to follow the API, or set of rules defined by the creator of that language. Otherwise, you can not get the aimed result, be it Dell computer or apple or Microsoft make. UNIX commands are different.
In the same way, if we have to follow shirdi sai baba, we have to follow his instructions only. If you like and follow satya sai baba follow his instructions. Christians have their code of conduct and Muslims theirs. We can not compare two different guru's instructions and mix them.Different religions instruct differently to their people.
