IMPORTANCE
OF RELIGION
Religion is the science of living. It is a safe method of living,
with principles of life selected from the experiences of mankind.
According to the time, place and environmental conditions, the men
of wisdom selected some important activities and enjoyments of
life,' compatible with the prevailing cultural values. They
categorised do's and don'ts for the benefit and safety of the people
in the living process and relationship with men and materials. The
world-wide cultural values of mankind have their roots with the
evolutionary process of Nature and the experiences of mankind
through the hereditary link of millions of generations. In the ocean
of cultural values every religion is an island with the demarcation
of time, place and environmental conditions. So far, religion is the
only guiding light for mankind to live successfully and peacefully,
maintaining a harmonious relationship with fellow beings. We know
that there are several religions all over the world.
There
are differences peripherally and ritualistically but the core and
goal of all religions are the same:
1) Worship of God, and
2) Virtuous way of
living.
These
are the important principles in all religions.
REALISATION
OF GOD
To
get the full benefits of religion, the followers should realise God
to their full satisfaction and also should follow virtues with real
responsibility, emerging from their own psycho-physical character.
Worship of God and virtuous way of life are interlinked with one
another; virtuous deeds will blossom from the light of realisation
of GOD. |
