The aim of life and religion.

The Aim of human life and the True Religion.

We have a very wide range of religious systems operating in this universe. Everybody is related to some religious belief in which he offers his faith and devotion. But he scarcely knows, what is the aim and function of human life? What religion has to serve with that aim? Human life is about unstable nature and time of death is unsure. It can kill anybody, anytime and anyplace. Thus, 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 acknowledged to be eternal, the Soul and the Supreme Soul, “The God”. Take out these two, everything exhibits an essential characteristic of instability and change, and also suffers with the phenomena of decaying. The body, in which the Soul and Supreme Soul both dwell, has an indispensable characteristic of finiteness. It always, is being used by the Soul as an instrument for the satisfaction of its desires through materialistic substances.

The human physical structure is like a covering or casing for the Soul. Within this physical body there are vital, mental, intellectual bodies and inside 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. The Human life has two objectives, according to the nature of the Soul. One is the provision of happiness through worldly and materialistic means, i.e. prosperity and the other is the actualization of the bliss through the patterns of ‘True Religion’,

The religion plays very important role in human life in this regard. It is an instrument for associating Soul with The Lord of the universe, ‘The God’. Thus making men gods. The etymological meaning of the word 'religion' is derived to be ‘reunited' and this reunion is the reunion of the Soul and the Supreme Soul.

The Earth has the need of a philosophy 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. We must therefore find, develop and devise a ‘True Religion’ which shall satisfy our requirements and reduce the conflicts. We do not need religions based on superfluous belief, fairy tales or some lunatic.

Human Soul is bounded by the body and its desires. Along with fulfilling bodily requirements, if we adopt the ‘True Religion’ then emancipation and the attainment the bliss is possible. ‘True Religion' means a ‘factual religion’ or ‘a method of reunion with God’. The process of provisioning includes a performance of ‘True Religion’ with whole faith and devotion, realization of the Self, The God, omniscient and then bliss.

Life after emancipation is normal life, but the vision is unlike since it has always viewed the infinite. This life is devoid of conflicts, strives and grieves and is full of love, service and wisdom. This type of life is life in its genuine sense.
