In various religious communities we can hear the banishment against various "temptations", while, at the same time, we can notice that the greatest temptation for the sinful and the self-righteous human being, the religious communities possess in their very teaching.

Jehovah's witnesses consider it a temptation too great to read the religious literature of other religious communities and do not the temptation in their own teaching which flatters the spirit of the haughtiness of a sect and quarreling argumentation. They see temptation in carrying weapons in the army and do not see temptation in their teaching, according to which, after Armageddon, they will gather and bury the bones of the ones who were not the members of their community for seven months. If they think that they are of so weak that taking weapons into their arms or reading the literature of other religions would be the temptation for them, how comes that their own teaching is not a temptation for them?!

The members of some religions of the East see temptation in shaking hands with a person of different sex, and do not see temptation in their teaching which says:

"Be the light for yourselves!" (Buddha)

Sai Baba can openly reprimand haughtiness as the worst of all sins, but he supports it himself by saying:

"Appreciate your own self. Meditate about our personal self. Kneel down before your own self. God lives in you as You."

The teachers of some religions who incite a man to seek salvation in himself will say:

"We cannot save ourselves. Only God can save us...Think of Him, about the beauty of His character... And now, as you begin this meditation, please pay attention to your breathing and to your body posture!"
