Religious Life

Everyone when asked what is religion, defines it according to his particular conditioning, according to his bringing up whether as a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist or a Christian. Man has been working at this problem for thousands upon thousand years. There is a cave somewhere in France on the walls of which there are paintings which were done about 17,000 years ago. In one picture a man is seen fighting and killing a bull, and in another picture it is the man who is being killed. The bull represents evil, the man represents good, and they are pictured as always fighting each other, one conquering at one moment, and the other conquering at another moment. So, thousands of years ago people were asking about good and evil, about religion, about God. The religion therefore with all its paraphernalia is an age old seeking for man.
