Religion
is to find out the ultimate reality. Man has always been asking if
there is something other or beyond then this world. Because there is so
much violence, conflict and unrest and inner confusion and mental
agonies that man wants to escape and find something beyond it which can
give him peace and happiness. Life is full of insecurity and fear in
this world that man invents a God which can give him security and
shelter. The priest and the religious authorities of traditional
religions exploits the gullible people by further fostering this fear.
But a fearful mind, scared mind can never be a religious mind. The first
quality of religious life is fearless. Religious person is neither
afraid of any one nor create fear in the mind of others. Religion is way
of life in which there is inward harmony, feeling of complete unity and
fearlessness.
