What Religion should be for us?
Why should we follow a Religion?
What Religion should we follow?
These are the different questions
that, many of us, ask, from time to time, without caring for what we know of and
how we know the Religion we practice.
The reason that pushes us for
this sort of questioning, a process of reasoning in tougher circumstances of
life, comes to our thinking whenever we face hopeless situations in life, where
we are not able to reconcile with God for the events happening around us,
whether with us or with anyone else where we see the events in motion, events
that directly affect our way of thinking.
It is true we ask these questions
regularly but we seldom realise what this regular frequency says to us for, we
seldom think that our faith and so the Religion we follow should be the evolved
one.
We ask questions but we don’t
seek answers.
God, Spirituality and Religion -
the mess that we have created around the meanings and the symbolisms of these
three fundamental words of any human life and so any civilization is
responsible for it.
These three words, their meanings
and their symbolisms are mutual, interdependent and related. They cannot be
practiced in isolation.
Those of us who ask questions but
don’t seek answers don’t understand or don’t want to understand the dynamics of
these basic principles of organizing a life.
Basic principles, because even if
one doesn’t follow a God, a Religion or doesn’t believe in Spirituality, the
person needs to know why he is not following when the majority is doing the
contrary.
His alternative thinking should
also be the evolved one.
When we see or start to see these
three fundamental entities, God, Spirituality and Religion, in isolated blocks or
when we compromise one at the cost of the other, or when we begin to make
combinations without knowing the dynamics of the interdependence, we fail to understand
any of these three fundamental principles of life.
And that is what most of us do.
That takes us away from the logical
path where we don’t know, we don’t understand, so we never realise, but we
follow. So we question but don’t seek answers because even those questions are
not the evolved ones, because we become opportunist in seeking God.
But to know God, one must
understand the Religion.
But to know life, one must understand
the interdependence between God, Spirituality and Religion.
