Religious Life

Religious life means gathering of energy to be wakeful to “what is,” not wasting energy in seeking “what should be”. Religious life is the awareness of “being,” not the anguish of “becoming”. Religious life denies duality and opposites at every level of existence and thus it discovers divinity and omnipresence from moment to moment.

II) Religious consciousness has no beliefs or disbeliefs whatsoever. It is in a state of innocence, “ not- knowing”. It has no image nor opinion about anybody. It loves the work that it does , not the “ success” nor the “result” of the work. Religious life has no motive under any disguise. III) Religious consciousness is “gunatit” state – transcendence and transformation of “ gunas” (traits and tendencies) – a state of freedom, love and understanding. IV) There is no reaction, revenge, resistance, resentment or repentance in the religious consciousness which exists in equanimity. “I” or “me” is just a reference point for identification which is useful for the purpose of passport, driving licence, credit card and so on. “I” is not the re-enforcement point of assertion, arrogance and aggression.
