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

All religions in the world have made people prisoners of blind faith or belief and have become a cause of concern, waging wars, terrorism, and violence in the name of religion and God based on blind faith.

Religious conditioning, or Samskara, is a brainwashing religious tool that is used to keep humanity in a prison of ignorance.

Until ignorance dominates, the world, peace, and universal brotherhood will be impossible.

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 has no quarrel with anyone because religion is different from spirituality or Adyatma.

The craving for religion, the fear that not to follow 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. 

Remember:~

Spirituality or Adyathma is not suited for religious-minded people. Spirituality or Adyathma is not suited for the orthodox mindset Religious people must tread their chosen path.

As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus:

Religion: low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras indulging in bhajans and prayers, etc.

Middle intellects: Yoga: taking yellow robes, going to caves, ashrams, etc.

High intellects: wisdom who wanted the truth is concerned with no external rites no prayers or sanyasa but depend solely on the Soulcentric reasoning for their path.

Thus, the seeker has to choose his path according to his choice. Without an intense urge to know the truth and the sharpness to grasp the truth, it is difficult to tread the path of wisdom never mix different paths with each other, and make a cocktail because it leads to all sorts of doubts and confusion.

The seeker of truth should be aware of everything untrue: stick to the truth and he shall succeed, maybe slowly, but surely.:~Santthosh Kumaar
