________________ Embrace Truth Do What is good Avoid what is bad. Spread the message of love. And if you cannot Just see to it that your Action do not hurt another's Heart. I often go to the temple for Pooja, The pujaris keep reciting the prayer. You stand when you Are asked to stand You sit when you Are asked to sit. And you keep hearing him Without even making An attempt to understand. A word of it There are thousands like me who go through this ritual regularly in fact I am absolutely amazed by one fact today we notice a great spurt in religious sentiments with every passing year we notice more and more Ganesh Utsav's More and more Navratris More and more Pandals for Mohurram it is said that man is today rediscovering his religious roots and correspondingly the Standards of morality of that very man Most Surprisingly is going down at even a greater pace What was considered wrong a decade ago is only normal today we keep going to the temple. Day after day Month after Month Year after Year We keep worshiping without ever making an attempt at understanding God. At understanding His teachings the internal awakening just never dawns upon us. God has given his definition of religion just in one line he has made it so simple for us Emrace Truth Do what is God Avoid what is bad spread the message of love and if you cannot just see to it what your actions are, do not hurt another's heart but sadly we have complicated our religions to such an extent that we spend all our lives in pursuit without understanding a word of it today a temple at best considered A wash basin Where you can apply the soap of Prayer & wash your sins away can God give us the authority to sin and then the facility to undo it! By just taking his name God's logics are very simple If only we made an attempt to understand them The emphasis has to be on taking your soul to such heights that sins cannot touch you What you need is internal awakening and that day for sure the great individual in you would arise.
