The perennial wisdom of a religion can’t be found in its rituals, cults or communal
doctrines. If you are a true seeker and wish to adopt religion in its true sense, you
must first sincerely introspect and analyze your aspirations, interests, habits and
behavior; unmindful of the fanatical reactions of the ritualistic religious people.
You must restrain and curtail the tendencies of selfish possessions, passion for
sensual pleasures and insensitivity to sufferings of others. Simultaneously, you
should cultivate with focused effort, the altruistic tendencies and sentiments
of kindness, generosity, love, empathy, feelings of caring and sharing towards
others. The only measure of one’s true religiousness is – the less one’s selfishness
and the more one’s altruism, the greater is his/her religiousness (spirituality). It
is only through this path of spirituality that the individual-self realizes higher
realms of divine grace and enlightenment.
