We are born in a family with organized religion by default. We come to know about our religion only after we attain a reasonable maturity and awareness over a period of time. By the time we realize we are already conditioned in certain stream or pattern of religious beliefs. We are born already into a set religious family and we are taught and made aware that this is the religion we must follow. Likewise, we are made to adopt certain living habits like eating certain type of food, wearing certain type of cloths, following a set of religious rules day-in and day-out, wearing certain religious symbol on our forehead or wearing some sort of band on our hand or leg or neck. We need to follow certain daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly rituals to be able to calm the spirits. We are taught that we need to sacrifice this life to reach heaven if not we will reach hell. We are always taught about the right and wrong concept of that particular religion. The heaven and hell concepts are drilled into our system from the beginning. We need to glorify our gods all the time and through glorification of gods we will reach heaven, the abode of gods.
Most of the religions of the world are organized and have a set concept or doctrine to be followed if you truly believe and except that particular religion or belief system. Fear and keeping you under constant wrap of fear seems to be the key concept of all the major organized religions. Good and Evil are the two major factors of all the organized religions. We are made to realize that we have to sacrifice this life for something superior form of life in heaven. So, we are always constantly being conditioned to follow certain traits and take the already treaded path for salvation. We are constantly being drilled about the consequences of particular action. We are made to be fearful of the consequences thereof. Most of the religions makes you a fearful personality. The fear factor is hanging over your head all the time like a shadow. No organized religion teaches you how to face the world bravely without fearing anything. They never teach you how to overcome fear and become brave and fearless at all. They want to keep you under the warp of fear all the time so that you do not break away from its shackles. You are literally kept in religious chains otherwise you try to escape from it. You are not even allowed to think otherwise let alone do something other than the routine.
Spirituality is not a religion. It is knowing about ones true self and our relationship with the nature and environment around us. It does not follow any historically written doctrine. All religious journey is outside of us. Spirituality takes you in the inward journey. You will just come to know inside-out of everything. It is coming to an understanding and knowing about the Absolute Reality. All religions are theoretically whereas spirituality is practical giving insight into every aspect of living. It will connect you to and make you aware of your connection with all other creations of nature. It will make you aware of your true nature. It is a self discovery. Being natural is essentially the core thing it makes us aware of. It is rediscovery of our lost true self. All this time you were projecting yourself other than what you were. It is like looking at your true selves for the first time. You come to realize who you are and what is your position in set stream of things of natural order. You start becoming conscious of your own self. Being conscious of the make-believe world we are living in and remove all your projections and live naturally in your true self in this realistic world of existence.
We need to discard the outdated and expired concepts which had its relevance once up a time. Today we are more conscious of our selves and we need to accept the reality rather than living with hypothetical concepts which are of lessor relevance in todays realistic world.
Our society itself is evolving consciously and that is a positive sign towards betterment of all the stake holders in this game of life. People are more aware of the fact that they have to be responsible not only for their life but also of every lifeforms on this earth. Coexisting amicably with least resistance and diffusion of any conflicting situation arising out of difference of opinion thereof and using our natural resources optimally and following the culture of recycling and reuse of all the natural elements will go a long way in diffusing the conflicting situation we are in today over the fight for controlling the resources of the earth.
Especially the younger generation have access to every possible piece of information on the net about everything on this earth and will be able to take control of their life fully without fear factor and steer their life boldly and with confidence and make appropriate judgement logically, sensibly, ethically, and righteously and make life and living a glorious opportunity not to be missed and not to be messed up with.
Take and make an informed decisions as a form of new mantra in the journey of life and living
