Religion belongs to the world of emotions. That is why everyone likes it.+

People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that the world was created by God. But how do they know that He did so? When a pot is created, one can see both the pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.

Then there is the question which nobody has answered till now, viz. Why did God create all these evils, these sufferings? Even a father would never do that. If He did so, assuming that God did create, then what sort of an evil God is He? All religions that begin with "God created the world" are fit only for children. It is a lie; it is inconsistent and fit only for ignorant people.

It takes time for the seeker to gain the perfect understanding of ‘what is the truth’ and ’what is untruth’. It takes time for the Soul, the Self, to wake up from the sleep of ignorance, and it takes time for one to realize the truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.

Religion belongs to the world of emotions. That is why everyone likes it.

You will always find it in primitive times, as now, linked with music, dancing, and art--both emotional expressions.

Religion changes as it appeals to different emotions. You will find at one pole the nude monk is admired; at the other, the gorgeously-dressed Guru is revered.

In matters of religion, Gnanis have no quarrel with anyone because religion is different from spirituality or Adyatma.

The craving for religion, the fear that not following its rites and dogmas will bring punishment, the inability to give up the notion of its truth even when your reason demonstrates its fallacies and absurdities are merely forms of mild obsessions, i.e., a thought constantly repeating itself automatically; hence, it is a mental disease.

Unless you give up the ideas of heaven and hell, Advaitic wisdom is impossible. The ultimate truth must be proved here and now, on this very life. If that cannot be done, then it cannot consider any such idea, as the existence of heaven and hell, as untrue.

Religious people hold their inherited beliefs and any images they like in that realm.

For in religion, the question of truth does not arise, only the question of what appears to one. :~Ssntthosh Kumaar
