Religious Life

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.
