Essay On Religion and Life


In this age of scepticism and agnosticism it is not safe to talk about religion. Because people have many misgiving about religion. They confuse it with orthodoxy and when ever they discuss the subject they always are off the point. To them only purpose of life appears to be materialistic enjoyment, yet one feels as if one is missing something. If we look within our selves we shall note that something has happened with us that have has taken away the joy of life. Some time we feel dissatisfied even when we have amassed the worldly goods to our heart’s content the inner harmony has turned in it a discord and no more do we hear the music of soul. The question arises what ails us? And even one answer according to his own belief.

Naturally the human mind seeks solace. There is a class of people gifted with sixth sense. That is institution. It means direct perception of reality. They have the glimpse of it. Then in symbolical terms they interpret their inner experience. Their language is different their mode of living is different not only this they themselves are the people with difference. Naturally they succeed in directly and diverting the popular attention to themselves. In them the people find what they themselves had full unmistakably but not so clearly. They too had felt an unrest something vague they experienced with in. it was sweet, it was intoxicating, yet they could formulate it in clear terms and besides the glow, the warmth was not so constant. Now in their midst comes the man with the message familiar to them in their dreaming. 

They recognized it instantly. They read in it the languages of their own hearts. So they say they declare their deepest faith in him and this faiths and backbone of religion. The faithful are indicated in to the mystery of reality. So the reality flashes on their minds too and they dedicate themselves to the call of messenger. They know he can not be wrong. They follow him is a new change that has affected their now they have transformed their self conscious. This transformed self conscious ness gives them the vision of ultimate truth and beauty. When we have so analyzed the problem that we faced in the beginning, the answer we have is much clearer. Our problem was that happiness in life depends on man’s perception of the nature of the self and its relationship with the cosmic process. So the answer that has been given to us is that only the supermen with highly evolved consciousness are in position to solve the mystery of the universe.

Reason falls there, senses get exhausted. So religion is the only prop to man in his quest for supreme happiness.

Unfortunately the modern man has turned away from religion and he is paying the prices or council vanity, doubt and a hundred and one pitfalls. Uneasy lies his head, staggering are his steps, tied and dejected, is trudging along without hope, without satisfaction. What is this destination? He knows not, wither goes man? We may ask as many times as we like, but answer we have none. Despite fabulous growth in man and material peace not happened are distant goal wars, pestilence misery on all sides diabolical shadows hunt him. Yet the man of today still pins his faith on the source that have dried up. It is still time that he might realize the danger that lies a head scepticism is no answer to human needs. Materialism is a poor substituted for religion. Agnosticism proves the undoing of man, let better counsel prevail, let us see directly in the nature of things and be strong in our faith, so that we may attain salvation and man may in fact become immortal.
It is too obvious that the religion is not only necessary but indispensable to life.
