What is religion ? Wikipedia defines it as "an organized collection of belief systems,cultural systems and world views that relates humanity to spirituality and sometimes to moral values".Religion was essentially developed by the roots of humanity to
create the required classification and differentiation of the different people across the world and also maybe to keep a group of people united.Religion might also have been developed to make the concept of "god" simple to the people of this earth.
But what has transpired into today is the complete anti-thesis of the definition of religion.People of my generation and my previous generation have destroyed themselves by involving themselves in that LAW called religion.
Religion has done more harm to the culture of humanity than it has done good.Muslims,hindus,Christians and sikhs - They have fought among themselves the biggest religion wars ever in the history of india.Religion has entered all domains of life namely politics,education,public life and even cricket in india.
The sad part is people are killing themselves over it.Islamic terrorists which include youngsters who could be future engineers and doctors blow themselves up as suicide bombers which results in widespread massacre of innocent civilians and also animals.Ram sene and other groups which were initially started for peaceful propogation of hinduism has now started attacking churches as an opposition.
Narendra Modi,possibly india's greates politician of the masses who is also a sensational speaker is a victim of religious controversies is a well known fact.The saddest part is even the educated lot is falling prey to it.One thing we must realise is,the world is falling around us.india is dwindling,resources are vanishing which means that we have more important issues to ponder about.
Dear fellow human,please come out of your narrow minded thought about religion and accept everyone around you as one among yourself.It is the same oxygen you breathe,the same red bllod flows through your body,the same two legs take you everywhere.Love each other and respect each other.
May the World Live in peace !!
---- humanism is my religion,Indian is my identity

ReplyDeleteSuperb thoughts son! I am now convinced, the new gen like yourself, is thinking in the right direction unlike my generation and the previous and we have reason to hope. Let your clan grow larger and larger.
ReplyDeleteIn the words of Swami Vivekanada "Religion is the opium of the masses" that too coming from the supreme proponent of Hinduism, should be taken with all seriousness. Religion without the core philosophy (humanity) is simply a set of rituals created by imperfect humans to suit their local conditions and self beliefs which have no universal significance and should be rejected outright. Science and technology combined with human empathy should be our religion which is blind to age, race, sex.
Keep up the good work..!
Good Ashwin! Problem is not with religion but with identification and failure to grow beyond this identity. Life is a journey of seeking! Each seeks in his/her own way. Ways may be different but what is sought is One. To bring Unity in seeking God was invented. The moment mankind understands this religions will disappear.
ReplyDeletewaitin fr ur 2nd post!! wers it? u said its ready??
ReplyDeleteReligion also means science. People have wrongly taken religion to mean faith-"I believe."
ReplyDeleteUnder religion the dictionary says, "recognition of superhuman control or power, and especially of a personal God entitled to obedience, and effecting such recognition with the proper mental attitude."
So, religion means scientific understanding of the supreme controller: to understand the supreme controller and obey Him.. that's all.
In the state, the good citizen is he who understands the government and obeys the laws of the government, and the bad citizen is the one who doesn't care for the government. So, if you become a bad citizen by ignoring God's government, then you are irreligious. And if you are a good citizen, then you are religious.
