Mankind, irrespective of their various religions, can be classified into the following groups of pilgrims, based on their spiritual dispositions and performances:
- The Ignorant
- The Believers
- The Stagnant (The Conservative)
- The Hypocrites
- The Mischievous
- The Enlightened
- The Prosperous
- The Consummate.
- The Bright Morning Star
The Ignorant
They are children of God, but they do not know about God or how to worship Him. A person who belongs to another religion which truly worships God is not considered ignorant.
The Believers
They believe that God exist, and that God created the universe.
The stagnant
They are believers who do not grow in their knowledge and worship of God. They are conservative. They are not even making efforts to grow in spirit and in truth. They feel that they know all.
The Hypocrites
They claim to know and worship God, whereas they do not know God or how to worship Him. They are the worst type of enemies of progress.
The Mischievous
They are true believers who belong to different religions of the world, and at the same time engage in all forms of wickedness. They are the cultists and witches who belong to different churches in the world.
The Enlightened
Enlightened ones know the truth about life. They are not easily deceived or swayed in their knowledge, beliefs and practices.
The Prosperous
Prosperous ones are already enlightened. Yet, they grow in spirit and in truth by learning more about God and life. That is why Buddha advised that a wise person will use the little light he has to gain more light. Jesus confirmed this by saying that much is expected from whom much has been given.
The Consummate
The consummate are the saints and saviours, who have attained oneness with God. They behold God face to face, and also experience Him as undivided and separate from the universe.
The Bright Morning Stars
The bright morning stars are the believers, the enlightened, the prosperous and the consummate ones who are busy teaching others about God and life. They delight to state points and are patient enough to explain in clear and simple details.
