Granted the world's great religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism and Islam all preach being 'good' and doing 'good'. Because most if not all of the spiritual teachers in the world have had exposure to religion, they too profess being 'good' as a condition for enlightenment.
But why is this then taken as a truth? In some religions, like Christianity and Buddhism, being 'good' and doing 'good' are seen as major cornerstones to achieving salvation. There are some on this forum who have said it is more enlightened if someone does 'good', than if they meditate, so this idea is widespread. What is the reason for this? Is it because we just thoughtlessly associate being 'good' with being enlightened? Or is there a direct, provable and causal link between being 'good' and attaining enlightenment? I don't think there is any connection between the two, at all.
