A Reflection to our Notions

It's Shivratri today. 

All over people are celebrating with great enthusiasm. They are visiting temples and performing various rituals. Do they know what they are doing? Are they contemplating or just following what the trend says.

Religion has its own significance when it comes to changing life for better. Hindu culture is also very scientific and has rational roots. And other religions are no less. They have their own value. One has to read the scriptures to deeply know what religion is all about. Else people need a chance to do politics. Religion is no exception. 

The concept of God has become a means to fight. Only because of lacking love for everyone. If we loved our neighbour then we loved God too. 

It's not every time about 'me and mine'. My God, your God. God is not a possession. In the name of religion today we fight. Not knowing the scriptures, which are the basis of all religion, says the same. Not even a single scripture of any religion tells us to fight. Yet because of the misinterpretation or ignorance we do what everyone is doing. 

The thing that is lacking is first-hand experience. If we ourselves have not read the scriptures, how can we fight on what is written on God or whatever. Just blindly following the majority, does no good. So, be intelligent, we are not sheeps, a rational mind has been given to us. Always enquire first, before doing any act. And be aware!
