Worship every God and incarnation
The Christmas period invites reflection on divine birth and universal worship. Many people now think of Jesus, preparing and finding happiness. His life, though hard, shows a path to seeing God. Worship is an expression of joy. The birth of divine figures like Jesus and Kṛṣṇa involved great maternal suffering, a pain shared by all mothers, including animals. True worship respects this sacredness of life and mother. God resides within the heart, as shown in different traditions. Knowing God requires an inclusive heart that respects all faiths. Criticizing other religions indicates not knowing God. The act of killing animals for ceremony contradicts genuine worship, which must honor the mother in all beings.
"If you worship God, then first worship the mother."
"Those who said, 'No, only this and that is other, not good,' then it means still you don’t know what is God."
