I am from a small but a kind of religious family.We use to pray daily go to temple, But from the childhood . I have very basic questions in my mind like why there is bell in temple what is the relation between a tika and God though I like to have a tika(a small one ). why shoes not allowed in temple why only people go to temple only after taking bath. I know it is our values that we got from our religion but do you think this values worth to possess . Well my answer is a utter no let me give u a logic.
Who is God? This question is not specific to any religion I am asking about how you define God . A supreme power Omnipotent And omnipresent I think everyone agree with this definition me too. Now if he is omnipotent he must have created this universe and every thing in it. our shoes as well then why he have problem with shoes he have created us then why he have problem with us coming to temple without bath. I don't think he has any .Infact if he is omnipresent why we have to go to temple to worship.
I know this article is about spirituality but to learn something new we have to unlearn so many things. I am talking about rituals. If we go deep we will understand why this rituals made and what is the purpose to make them. In Hindu religion we have categorization of society on the basis of the work they do .All educated and intelligent people come under the bhramin category .It is so unfortunate to see that this bhramin use their intelligence to fool others and made this rituals so that people and even king use to pray them and their bad intention give rise to so many superstitions even today people give lakhs of rupees to built a temple to accommodate god who have all this universe to live but this same people are reluctant to keep water bowl on their roof for birds.
Spirituality is a style of life this is broad.In this way it is opposite to religion which is bookish and covered by rituals. In a ideal way it is spirituality must not follow any custom this must be natural . Variation is essence of world so we must enjoy it rather then afraid from it. But in contrast religion categorize us divide us make us feel that we are different and superior than others and forgot that all other creatures are also created by same god.
We always give example of unbelievable things to prove the existence of god and to deepen our trust in him. But if you pay attention to your breath you will realize that breathing is not a conscious activity if I am taking breath ,Who is taking breath for me or breath is an event happen to me . And by observing this I realize that I need not have to imagine god with 3 faces to believe him ,my breath in itself is a miracle.
