religion...

the following is for those who still find reasons to follow any organized religion on the lines of established rituals as taught by the mullahs and pundits of every religion:

"For me, the danger does not consist of the possibility of making a mistake and following an omen that turns out to be false. for me, the greatest dangers in the spiritual search are gurus, masters, fundamentalism: what i referred before as the globalization of spirituality. When someone comes and tells you: God is this, God is that, my God is stronger than yours. That’s how wars start. The only way to excapte all that is to understand that the spriribual search is a personal responsibility that you cant transfer or entrust to others. It’s better to make a mistak following omens that your conscience tells you are guiding you, than to let others decide your destiny. All this should not be taken as a criticism of religion, which i consider a very important aspect of human life."

hope it helps those who will beat their chests in muharram or the others who would like to kill those beating the cheasts. or the ones who would be gathering in bangladesh in the name of tableeghi ijtima and the ones who would be holding ghayarveen shareef...etc.

religion and practibility: it’s got to come from inside: from the strainers of virtue and sin.
