A method for becoming one

What should we do to become one beyond difference? Let's think about methods for it.

It is true that there is no need to say methods if only with love, if only with mercy, everything is achieved. Now, what should we do to get true love, to get mercy? Believe in God, Buddha. And now if we get belief, to overcome differences among various religions is the next big subject to come. Our precious belief is useless if Jewries and Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists deny and fight each other. That is not real love and mercy after all. Then a method is to be thought. As far as Amiyan's personal experience, it is

"to see the same light in every scripture."

Open the Buddhist scriptures, open the Bible, open the Koran, open the Hindu scriptures and Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. I mean to consult original sources. Those are a ways of letters, but of course there are other ways. I entered from letters just because it was easy for me to enter, because God, Buddha, prepared and waited for me to open the gate, but Sri Ramakrishna seems to have entered from deeds, religious austerities. More than 100 years ago ahead of Amiyan, he entered Hindu, then Islam and Christianity to practice religious austerities and saw the same light in each religions and was convinced that all religions are together as one. After that, he returned to Hindu and kept on telling people to love God. In the case of Amiyan, I entered from Shinran, who is a Japanese Buddhist saint, which Ramakrishna had not gone through, then went to Islam and Christianity to fall into rapture over seeing the same light and be convinced that all religions are together as one, when a viewer of Amiyan's site introduced me Ramakrishna and again fell into rapture over knowing that he also had experienced

"All religions are together as one."

Whether to enter from letters or deeds or both, it depends on one's surroundings. Anyway a road must lead the light from whichever gate one may enter and on and on. And in the case of letters, read bibles and scriptures in an affirmative and spiritual way. Nowadays, it is easy to get bibles, so the gate is open to many people relatively. But Buddhist scriptures are enormous and some of them have not been translated yet. Besides, Buddhism are divided into many sects in Japan, so entering from deeds, one may enter this and train then enter that and train, now enter Islam and train and enter Christianity and train and enter Hindu and train... Whether from letters or deeds, roads seem to be so far, but once one can see the light, he can go fast after. It doesn't mean that one cannot see the light unless one reads everything or practices every religious austerities, but advance just for one thing eagerly with crying for help to God, throwing oneself on Buddha, and God, Buddha, will surely open one's spiritual eye on the way, that is, God will bless one, and from that moment on, whichever scripture one may read, one will experience a succession of rapture, a sea of joy. Deeds will surely the same. Now that a spiritual eye is open, don't stop there but advance every scriptures of other religions with the spiritual eye. Don't stop at Buddhism, don't stop at Christianity, don't stop at Islam, don't stop at Hindu. And then, one is convinced that all religions are one. Spiritual ability is to feel absolute love, mercy. Don't read scriptures logically with reason. With spirit, receive God's love, Buddha's mercy,  hidden behind words. That is, to see the same light with a spiritual eye. And difference will disappear such as between words and deeds. Words and deeds are no more than one of infinite ways to see the light. All religions are no more than one of infinite ways to see the light. Difference between like God and Buddha, among Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Hindu, not to mention various sects in a religion,  will disappear. And then, only love, mercy, remains.
