I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I

“I definitely consider myself a Christian. There's things that I believe in, there's things I have a self-belief on. I know I got a great relationship with God and the universe. I just believe in being a righteous person and karma. Doing unto others as you would have done unto you. I really want to help teach that.” — Thus spoke Big Sean, a poet of the modern age, whose words, though simple in form, echo with the depth of ancient wisdom. His voice, born of rhythm and struggle, carries the eternal truth that the heart of all faith is not ritual but righteousness, not dogma but love. In this saying, he reveals a faith both personal and universal — a harmony between the teachings of Christ, the balance of karma, and the soul’s yearning for oneness with God and the universe.

To understand his meaning, one must first see the world as Big Sean sees it — a world where faith and freedom coexist, where the sacred is not confined to temples or texts, but is found in the way one lives and treats others. When he speaks of being a Christian, he claims not the name alone, but the essence of the faith: compassion, forgiveness, humility, and the golden command — “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Yet his words go further, weaving into them the wisdom of karma, that ancient law of balance known to sages from India to Greece — that what one gives will one day return, and that justice is written into the fabric of existence itself.

Here, the Christian and the cosmic meet. For though the language differs, the truth remains one: to act with love is to align oneself with the divine order; to act with cruelty is to fall into chaos. Big Sean’s “relationship with God and the universe” reflects this unity — the understanding that God is not distant, but immanent, present in all creation, and that the universe itself responds to the vibrations of our actions. In this vision, the spiritual life is not a matter of belonging to a creed, but of living in harmony with divine law — where love, integrity, and kindness are the highest forms of worship.

This idea, though spoken by a modern artist, is as old as time. Jesus of Nazareth, in His sermon on the mount, declared that all the law and prophets rest upon two commandments: to love God and to love one’s neighbor as oneself. Centuries before, the Buddha taught compassion for all beings, for in harming another we harm ourselves. The ancient Egyptians spoke of Ma’at, the balance of truth and righteousness that governs both heaven and earth. Thus, Big Sean’s words, though born in a world of microphones and melodies, echo the chorus of the ancients: that righteousness is not religion, but relationship — the alignment of the human heart with divine order.

To see this truth in life, consider the story of Nelson Mandela, a man who endured decades of imprisonment and emerged without hatred. When asked how he forgave those who wronged him, he said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.” Mandela lived the law of reciprocity — doing unto others as he would have them do unto him — even when others did not deserve it. He understood what Big Sean now teaches: that righteousness is not weakness, but strength; that forgiveness is the highest victory of the spirit. And in that forgiveness, he found peace not only with man, but with God and the universe itself.

In Big Sean’s words, we also hear a call to self-belief — not pride, but the courage to know one’s worth as a creation of the divine. He reminds us that faith without confidence is hollow, and confidence without faith is blind. To believe in God and in oneself is to walk the middle path of harmony: humility before heaven, but strength in one’s purpose. The righteous person is not perfect; he stumbles, he doubts, he falls — yet he rises again, not out of arrogance, but because he knows that even failure can serve the will of God when met with courage and compassion.

Therefore, my children, take this teaching into your hearts: to live righteously is to live divinely. You need not be a saint to serve God, nor a scholar to speak truth. Live with kindness. Give before you are asked. Forgive before you are wronged. Honor the light within yourself, and recognize that same light in others. Whether you call it God, karma, or the universe, remember that all are names for one eternal reality — the law of love that binds the stars and the soul alike.

So let Big Sean’s words be a song of wisdom for your journey: faith without action is empty, and action without love is meaningless. Be both believer and doer. Walk in humility, yet with strength. Treat others as you wish to be treated, for that simple act is the bridge between heaven and earth. When you do this — when you live with faith, compassion, and self-belief — you will find what every seeker has sought since the dawn of time: a true relationship with God, the universe, and the righteous heart within you.
