Religion…

“There is no start nor an end to religion” is a quote anonymous. but so apt it purports to be, when we understand the real meaning of religion.

We are always on a quest. About life, its meaning and its purpose. Man understood that the purpose of life was not mere living, but it was to find out and realize the Super-Power source, the omnipotent, the omniscient and the omnipresent. He unearthed the secrets of life that lead to the ultimate truth. The way to unearth those secrets were termed to be religion.

Religion is not a mere set of rules or a community of people. It’s a collaboration of wisdom, reasoning & knowledge that lays a path which leads us to that one thing that matters, that one thing that holds things together, that one thing that strikes a balance between existence and non-existence. The Eternal truth. God.

Like it is said in Sanskrit, “Athi Sarvathra Varjayeth” which translates to “Too much of anything is bad”, Religion found many followers, many people who wanted to discover their purpose. Somewhere in this search we lost focus. That very path which was supposed to lead to God pulled us back to mortality and material existence.

Eventually, religion which emerged to be an immensely spiritual & eternal path turned out to be a cause for diversity, disintegration, fights, pogroms and wars.It is extremely disturbing to see the loss of humanity in the name of religion.

People and only people can turn things back to normalcy. I hope and pray that ‘religion’, one day, is placed back in its original, pure and eternally spiritual form and will be practiced only for a positive growth and spiritual elevation. To where it belongs and what it means.
