Every man needs something to put his faith in.And the concept of God is the best to believe in.This belief gave many great religions to the world.A Religion is nothing but a way of worshiping the divine by our own means.It's a way of life.Life goes on anyhow;It's the rule of nature.But to lead a peaceful and fruitful life everyone needs something to guide him on a right path.
Religion is truly a guideline for a peaceful life.It gives us a sense of consciousness towards the society.When we are about to perform a unmoral task,religion is what pricks our conscience and we are prevented from doing that.Religion accompanies us in loneliness,backs us in fear and helps us to tackle challenges.When we are under any type of fear or tension we are at least 50% comforted by the thought of presence of God with us.Our Religion makes our mind strong enough to face difficulties but also humble enough to enjoy successes.It's solace on agitation and brakes to outburst of anger.Religion keeps us from addictions.The underlying principle of every religion is-Service to mankind.As 'Service to mankind is service to God'.Islam preaches that every Muslim must spend 10% of his income for charity.Eknath offered the sacred water of Ganga brought Kashi to a thirsty donkey.Mother Teresa spent her whole life in serving mankind.They all could do so only because their religion preached so.They were driven to serve people because of their immense faith in their God and religion.
Buddha,Guru Nanak,Dyaneshwara and many more enlightened human minds took them in the heaven of peace and solace.Bhagvad Gita is an invaluable gift of religion to the whole world.Religion also possesses the power to change people.Buddhism transformed Ashoka,Islam transformed the Arabs.As said earlier religion makes us powerful as well as humble;it made Ashoka to reach extreme point of modesty and Arabs to the highest peak of power.
This is the power of a religion,power of divine.It is inherited by a man from his ancestors, but is taken to its heights by some great men.
