The element of religion can't be found in the mirage of rituals, cults or communal doctrines and rites. If you are true seeker, want to adopt religion in the truest sense, you must first introspect and sincerely analyze your aspirations, interests, habits and behavior to whether and to what extent these might trouble or hurt others or hinder their justified rights ….. You must restrain and curtail the tendencies of selfish possession, passions for sensual pleasures and ruthlessness and insensitivity to others. Simultaneously, the altruistic tendencies and sentiments of kindness, generosity, love; amity, feeling of service, sharing and cooperation should be cultivated and enhanced consistently. The only measure of one's religiousness is - the less one's selfishness and the more his/her altruism, the greater is his/her religiousness and spirituality. It is only through this path of religiousness that the individual self realizes higher realms of divine grace and salvation.
The major cause of all misery, adversities and sufferings in the world is that - knowingly or unknowingly, people do not behave with others in a manner, which they expect and like others to behave. This disparity of - "different weight used in the same balance for being and for selling" is the root of all mistrusts, conflicts and animosity. Ego, avarice and selfishness make one blind and debauch from the pa th of religion. If you do what your conscience would not allow, or what you would not like someone else doing to you, then you are committing a sin. So be vigilant towards your ambitions, attitude and actions.
Where is God
Many of us feel an inner urge to find God. We also make several attempts, but find no clues .HE is said to be Omnipresent, so HE should be everywhere? Then why despite our devoted efforts, we can't find him anywhere? Some people spend lot of wealth and all their time in religious rituals and activities aimed at HIS search but remain in the void. Some get frustrated and lose faith in HIS existence. Who is right? What is the truth?
Well, the universal fact is - God is Eternal, Omnipresent. The flaw is in your approach. You can't find him by worldly attempts or by any ascetic means either. It is only a pure heart full of love that can feel and find God. Learn to love the soul, love every one, every thing around you. You don't have to renounce the world and go to the forests or high mountaintops, or spend time and resources in any sacrament to experience HIS light. HE is everywhere, so rest assured, HE is also near you, within you. Where? Within your soul. Have you ever bothered to listen to the voice of your soul? No! This is why you are not able to experience God.
Just think, who governs your life force, who inspires auspicious sentiments or motivate you for noble deeds? Whose voice is that which warns you against doing something wrong or harming someone? You may ignore that inner voice. But that is the voice of God indwelling in your inner self. It is only in the deeper depths of your own self that you can find HIM.
