Religion – the most debated topic in the world. Many wars were fought in the name of religion. So many books were written, all over the world, on religion. Still people are confused about religion. They sometimes fear this, or follow some rituals blindly on the name of religion. Still the question hunts the mind of the inhabitants of this world- “What is religion? Do we really need to have a religion?”
These are the questions of very ancient days. Still the most of the modern mind has not been satisfied with any solution. Still so many people are in search of these very questions. In this search people go from temple to church, from mosque to gurudawara. They search through the pages scriptures for solution. They reach to the knowledgeable persons -‘Guru’ to find the right answer.
Let us try to understand this from a different view point. Every person has a look and a mind, which makes one’s personality. The look is important to create a nice impression in this world. We do understand this fact and for that reason we spend so much time, energy and money to have a perfect look for us. After that we always try our best with all our deeds to express ourselves. What we try? We try to project our mind, our thoughts with all our deeds and present them to this world. The better we are organized in our mind the better we are with our presentation of our works. This is a continuous process in our life.
This is the secret of our inspiration to live up to life. But sometimes it eats all our energies in the race for excel. We then lose the righteousness within us. Then we trend to become the slaves of our desires. We then sail ourselves with the wind of our desires. The strong wild wind of our desires then take the control of us and pushes us towards more darkness in our mind.
Here comes the need of a science – religion. This science is the only help, the only guide, which can lead us towards ultimate goal, to realise the perfect satisfaction.
The religion helps us to understand ourselves better. This science has two dimensions- the rituals and the philosophy. The first part been developed more to suit the culture and habits of the persons who follows the religion. Though this part has a base on philosophy, but most people they turn their blind eye and follow what been traditionally practiced by their ancestors. Due to this ignorance religion creates divisions among people. But the true religion never divides people but support them to find ‘Oneness’.
The rituals are the ‘look’ of a religion. And philosophy is the mind of it. From generation after generation every religion changed itself to suit the demands and likings of its followers. These rituals are only the outer and not very necessary part of a religion. The real science of religion is with its philosophy which supports in realization of ‘Oneness’.
