Application of True Religion.

"APPLICATION OF TRUE RELIGION”

We have a very wide range of religious systems operating in this universe. Everybody is related to some religion in which he offers his faith and devotion. But he hardly knows, what is the aim and function of human life? What religion has to do with that aim?

Human life, of course,is unstable in nature and time of death is uncertain. It can kill anybody, anytime and anywhere. So it is our sole duty to know about ourselves, our aim, and true nature of religion, its aim and function.

In this unstable and mortal world, two things are recognized to be eternal, the Soul, "the  individual" and the Supreme Soul, “The God”. Except these two, everything exhibits an essential characteristic of instability, variations and change, and also suffers with the phenomena of decaying.

The body, in which the Soul and Supreme Soul both dwell, has an essential characteristic of finiteness. It always is being used by the Soul as an instrument to satisfy its desires through materialistic substances. The body is like a covering or casing for the Soul. Within this physical body there are vital, mental, intellectual bodies and within that there is Soul in the form of bliss. The Soul exhibits two natures of being finite, as well infinite. The finite nature is brutal and infinite nature is Divine.

Human life has two aims, according to the nature of the Soul. One is the provision of happiness through worldly means and the other is the realization of bliss through the practice of ‘religion’. The religion plays very significant role in- human life in this regard. It is an instrument for associating Soul with The Creator of the universe. Thus making men gods.

The etymological meaning of the word religion is derived to be ‘reunion'. The reunion of Soul And Supreme Soul. The world has the need of a order or a 'religion’ which is capable of the provision of both the aims, be truthful as far as possible and be scientific in nature. It must be in confirmation with the scientific methods available to us.

People must follow  the ‘True Religion’ which shall meet our requirements and reduce our conflicts. We do not need religions based on superfluous belief, fairy tales or some lunatic.

Human Soul is bounded by the body and it's desires. Along with fulfilling bodily requirements, if we follow the ‘True Religion’ then emancipation and the attainment of bliss is possible. "True Religion means a ‘factual religion’ or ‘a method of reuniting with the God’.

The process of perfection includes the performance of 'True Religion’ with whole faith and devotion, realization of the Self and The God along with emancipation. Life after emancipation is a normal life, but the vision is different. It always sees the infinite. The life thereafter is devoid of conflicts, strives and grieves. The life thereafter is full of love, service and wisdom instead and this type of life is life in its true sense.
