FOUNDATION OF RELIGION

Foundation of Religion

We all hide from sorrows and search for happiness around us. We burn midnight oil to be happy yet

remain unsatisfied and the real reason for this is that we don’t know the route to happiness.  Some of us

consider sorrow as our fate or God’s decision but then what is the real way to eternal happiness?

Following Dharma is the true route to happiness. Dharma guides us from sorrows to happiness, from

filth to purity, from darkness to light and from death to Moksha. Hence, Dharma is not an impediment

but the way to true happiness. Dharma consists of three ingredients:

1. We are mere souls: we all are potential Gods; pure, divine and true. It is the nature of the body

to be born and achieve death but we are souls that neither can be created nor be destroyed.

The soul is beautiful, peaceful and beneficial.  If we understand this; we are hopeful, excited and

inspired to live our lives. To strengthen this faith, we must be indulged in introspection and

2. Link between us and God:if we see ourselves as a part of God, we will separate ourselves from

our body and if we consider others equal to us, we are truly literate. This true knowledge of

oneself and others provides us with peace, happiness and eternal beauty. Also this guides us

towards good or bad; right or wrong; duty or crime etc. To cultivate this knowledge one must be

linked to spiritual texts, people and work for self-improvement and enhancement.

3. Theory of deeds: Good deeds lead to good implications and good results and filthy deeds lead to

poor implications and consequences. All the pains and sorrows we undergo are the result of our

poor deeds. If you want truth, love and simplicity around you, be the change. One must be

friendly to everyone; kind to the ones undergoing suffering and learn from talented. Serving the

society is serving God hence one must dedicate their body, soul and mind for social welfare. One

must let go all ego and endearment to gain and cultivate true knowledge and purity. Live and let

live. Speak the truth despite of knowing it might be disastrous because the truth may be

devastating in short run but in long run it is beneficial. One must not become greedy towards

anything especially money because it never allows us to be satisfied with its presence. One must

eat well and avoid all that doesn’t grow naturally.
