Religion- A set of beliefs influencing people and their life since ages all over the world.
People, Following it blindly (don’t get hurt) without knowing or asking any question considering it as asking a question would be a crime.
No, religion is not ultimate, it is never. It is just a sacred, a genuine effort to reach ultimacy. It is a genuine tool, a stair case having its goal to ensure supremacy in mankind. See, what we people and have turned it into. It is an ecstatic concept highly hotchpotched by smart idiots. They say their religion is good, it is the best. Simultaneously they hate and humiliate people and their religion. I wonder if their religion taught this to them. They say their religion is good. How can a good thing teach them a bad attitude?
A real religion is the purity of mind and heart. The very good example can be provided to support this statement by explaining the term ‘MANTRA’ ( a sanskrit term which means a set of words often chanted by Hindu people believing a part of upliftment- a sacred utterance) that is a religious concept.
In Sanskrit language, ‘MANTRA’ is a combination of two words ‘MAN’ which means ‘brain’ and ‘TRA’ which carries its meaning as ‘to stabilize’. In a way, religion attempts to carry a human being at a state of mind where an individual is completely free of all burdens of this material world. It teaches us to stabilize the mind and heart. The complete purity of mind and heart. It pures our mind from all the burdens of evil, community, sectarianism, division of humans. Religion teaches us that every living individual, animal or creature is worth respecting. It teaches omnipresent lies in us and we lie in the omnipresent. This is the life. This is the state where our mind and heart has ever wished to be in. This is the way peace which we keep on searching in this material world can be attained.
Good is going to happen to you when you do good. ‘Having a big house’ or ‘achieving a healthy income’ are almost the reasons for which most of us visit temples. We seek the benefit in visiting temples. To demand something from the Almighty. Here we are letting the fact aside that ‘Life is a beautiful cycle when we stop demanding.’
What almost all of us do while visiting temple and standing in front of God is complete contradiction of what nature asks us to do. We ask Lord to fulfill variety of wishes. Wishes of ‘having a beautiful mansion’ or ‘to bring happiness’ in one’s life. Demand is a trap, a dark trap. We are not supposed to do this. Never any God is going to appear to us and give us millions of money or tons of happiness. Rather we should visit temple to watch the idol of God, to observe the beauty of his life, to witness the quality of his life, to remind our mind that virtue is perpetual, to remind all the good qualities of God and to promise to obey maximum, to enlighten ourselves, to achieve that Godly attitude in our life. And this is the real increment of salary. That is the path where we don’t have to go to find happiness. Happiness comes to us. The ecstatic experience. This will teach us do good and good will start happening to us naturally.
We just have to be silent enough so that we can listen to which cannot be said into words. The music of existence, the constant celebration of existence. Once it starts penetrating our heart, transformation comes. That is the way, that is the sign one becomes Religious.
Well, if you learnt hatred and division among people, I think you are not religious at all. With that mindset, you are not even a Nationalist. Our constitution condemns sectarianism in high pitch. Here are the words “sectarianism hampers the growth of individual and society and also social state and social condition. The farther it is, the better it is.”
Man is not for religion, religion is for man. Human is not so cheap to be divided in so many categories like Hindu, Muslim or blah and blah. Being human is enough. I do not find myself happy always to listen to any child getting birth in India. I am sure the child doesn’t hate anyone. He is not even racist or prejudiced or judgmental but soon he will be taught.
In the name of religion, man has been exploited- exploited by the priest/saints. Once a man is full of fear, he is ready to submit. Once a man is trembling inside, he loses trust in himself. Then he is ready to believe in any stupid nonsense. This is the very trade secret of so-called religions.
The real religion is to help the needy, to have faith in you. The real religion is to search for the truth but the traditions and the orthodox mentality has taken away the search for truth. Archetype almighty is lost in these confusions. We people have made it arbitrary. They say there is no need to search, it has already been found, you just have to have faith. A blind faith, an ugly faith which has its roots somewhere in deep dark historical-orthodox mindset that can lead us to abyss if we don’t give it a thought.
