Guest guest Posted October 14, 1999 Report Share Posted October 14, 1999 Integrity = (- Blank - ) = Religion = Duty = eg. Swami Sri. Vivekanand = " where thyself going? " = what you are doing is right? = what is thy duties? = Are you following thy religion the right way? = Integrity The word 'integrity' is a Latin word; it comes from two roots - 'in' and 'tangere'. Tangere means pure, whole, uncorrupted, virgin. A man of integrity is whole; not many - one. A man of integrity is pure, uncorupted by the past, virgin. (who has performed his duty fully in the past,present or in the future) And out of that virginity arises the fragrance which we call religion.

Think on that one. Why do you need religion? When someone asks me " are you religious? " I tell them that it depends on their definition of religion. To some religion is nothing more than attending church on Sundays, dropping money in the collection plate, and going home and living their lives the way they always have, and those folks consider themselves religious. Religion comes from within. It is a way of life that is lived each day. It is the realization that you ARE DIVINE and so is every thing and everyone you see around you.
