Look!" Hawkeye said. Duke looked where Hawkeye was pointing. In one corner, kneeling on the dirt floor with his elbows on his cot, a Bible in front of him, his lips moving slowly, and oblivious to all about him, was Major Jonathan Hobson. "Jesus," Hawkeye said. "It don't look like Him," Duke said. ↗
Does religious conviction provide a powerful reason for killing? Undeniably it often does. It also often provides the sole compelling reason for refusing to kill, or for being merciful, or for seeking peace; only the profoundest ignorance of history could prevent one from recognizing this.

Human body is the only way for manifestation of God There is but one law or fundamental rule and that is the manifestation of God in the human body. It does not know any distinction of caste and creed, any time or place; all that is indispensably required is the human body and God’s mercy, The ‘only way’ of God’s manifestation in the highest form is through the body of a man and this is the ‘only law’ of highest expression in the world. There is but only one way and there is but one fundamental rule – the highest manifestation of God is in the human body. The principal requirement for God’s manifestation is the human body. Let him be a Hindu or Buddist or Christian or Muslim or let him belong to any other religion of the world or let him live in any part of the world, if God (Atma) takes pity on him then He will manifest Himself in the body of the man and the man on his part will see God in his own body. This law is fundamental. God is in the body. He is in an invisible and unattached condition. He emanates from the body, manifests himself in full-fledged form in the cerebrum, when God-the-Preceptor points out and shows God and himself melts away in God. The seer understands it distinctly that God is in the body and He has sprang up from the body. ↗
