A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE 4 LEGS OF TRUE RELIGION - 5

[Guest guest]

Dear ALL,

 

Namaste.

 

2) SPIRITUALITY: Uninterrupted faith in our fundamental existence and faith

in its omnipotent nature is that substratum which throws wide open all doors

of progress. This self belief makes his will power strong and in turn

inspires him to give up his limited ego ‘I’ and instead merge it into the

cosmic soul (God). If we insist only calling this illusory ‘I’ pure and

powerful like God know for sure that the fetters of such narrow mindedness

will become unbearably painful. On the other hand when we imbibe discipline,

gentlemanliness, cleanliness, oneness of soul with others, great character

and generosity in our day to day life our soul expands so as to encompass

the entire world in its very existence. The 3 fold endeavor of self

transformation, self advancement and self creation rule the roost. Man

transcends the binding clutches of greed, avarice, desires etc and instead

uses his soul potential for world welfare activities. Such sacred sentiments

make an individual great and thus world glory becomes a foregone conclusion.

3) RELIGIOSITY: True religiosity means adhering to ones righteous duties.

One must be devoted not only to ones family but ethics and social well

being. Being responsible oneself and not trespassing on the rights of others

is true religiosity. God has given every human being certain powers. Know

for sure that these are not meant for eat, drink and be merry way of life.

Instead this God given potential must be used for ones own advancement and

that of society in a befitting manner. Man’s one and ultimate goal of life

should be lading a life of ideals and principles and hence in this manner

like a cog in the wheel contribute towards a radiant future of this world.

The underlying goal of religiosity is certainly not to bind man in the

fetters of obsolete traditions and beliefs. Instead that righteous duty

should be executed by every world individual, which will help manifest true

well being of the entire world.

4) PROGRESSIVENESS: Today we give importance to keeping our body fit and

healthy and eking out a handsome salary. What we fail to realize is that

equal importance should be given to purifying our intellect, experience and

viewpoint. In fact true human progress is synonymous with soul progress. For

this self reflection and self introspection are most required. When we

deeply understand the true goal of human life we slowly get weaned away from

selfish attainments and instead our psyche starts thinking of world well

being and peace. The more our soul expands so as to merge into the cosmic

soul (called God by laymen) means that we are marching ahead on the path of

true advancement/progress. When our soul becomes expansive we start

experiencing the sacred bliss of being one with other beings. It is this

sense of oneness of soul that can help world beings live united in a

peaceful manner.
