Religion has nothing to do with your birth
by birth one cannot be
Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan.
But that's how it has been happening.
Religion has been joined
with birth to deceive you.
The best way to deceive a person is to give him the idea
that what people are seeking you have already got it.
This is the most refined way of cheating.
A Christian never thinks of searching
what religion is
what it means to be a disciple
what it means to accept someone as your master.
He has been deceived from the birth
that you already have religion
ready made it has been given to him
no effort
on his part has been made
no search, no seeking, no inquiry.
He has a master in Jesus Christ, he has a holy book in the bible
everything
is supplied by
tradition,
family, society...
they don't leave any chance for you to inquire on your own
and the problem is
unless you inquire on your own
you will never find
what life is all about
what truth is
what are these tremendously
ecstatic moments
when one becomes a disciple
when one finds a master
you will never
know those
moments of ultimate rejoicing
