10 questions related to religion that challenge the thinking

1. What is religion?

Most people associate religion with worship, whereas worship is not religion but an act.

The correct and precise definition of religion is to give happiness to people. To do charity, to show mercy to people, to help the poor and the needy and that too without any publicity. If you help someone and then publicize it, then it does not come under the category of religion but of action. True religion is service to humanity and that too in such a way that if you do it with one hand, then even the other should not know.

2. Can the mind become clean and pure by participating in a religious event?

It definitely does. Listening to the words of saints and the words of saints destroys vices. Good wisdom comes from a good place and the company of good people, which prevents a person from doing wrong deeds and only a person whose mind is clean and pure will refrain from doing wrong deeds.

3. Can God be found just by listening to Bhagwat, Ramayana or discourses?

Listening to Bhagwat, Ramayana or discourses with concentration relieves stress. Man moves forward on the path of virtue instead of walking on the path of sin. There are many examples of people walking on the path of truth in the stories of Bhagwat and Ramayana. I can say with confidence that if the listener accepts any one of these as his ideal, he can reach closer to God.

4. Which is the best among heaven and salvation?

In Sanatan Dharma, salvation has a higher place than heaven.

5. What is the exact path to salvation?

The word salvation is as small as the path to follow it. Salvation means freedom from the cycle of birth and death in this world. The way to attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and death is to surrender yourself completely to God. To live according to the will of God, keeping aside your wishes. Whoever has learned to live according to the will of God, his salvation is certain.

6. How is the welfare of all human beings possible?

In this materialistic age, welfare is possible only through meditation and knowledge. Man should meditate on God and acquire such knowledge which is not destructive but developmental.

7. What do you have to say on the present state of society i.e. ostentation and show-off?

I am personally against ostentation and show-off, but the time has come that every worldly person is crazy after show-off. Just as self-confidence is a good thing and overconfidence is not good, similarly display or show-off can be said to be right to some extent, but over-show-off is absolutely wrong.

8. What should be done so that peace and tranquility is established in the country?

Only with mutual brotherhood and love can peace and tranquility be established in the country. Whether it is the public or the leaders, as long as they keep giving importance to personal profit and loss, peace and tranquility cannot be established in the country.

9. What is the medium of communication with God?

The medium of communication with God is prayer.

Include only three sentences in your prayer, and act according to them, a miracle will happen.

O God, give me the strength to accept those things in my life that I cannot change.

Give me the courage to change those things that I can change.

Also give me the wisdom to understand which things I can change and which I cannot.

10. How to avoid sorrows?

Make efforts, work hard, along with this, keep in mind what our habits are like, make your habits good, stay away from the termites that hollow you out, do not live in unnecessary worry, fear, despair, depression.

Keep love, happiness, enthusiasm alive within you, be regular and disciplined, understand the value of time, control lust, anger, greed, attachment, jealousy, happiness and joy will start coming.
