Religion

(Dedicated to universal consciousness – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

Religion is the culture of a civilization

Along with all celebrations and education

Including practices which may appear superstition

Tied to mythology, history, and natural intuition!

 

World religions should be like buffet (buh-FAY) vision

Everyone can take a look at them with inquisition

Taste them; practice them for chemistry of acquisition

Enjoying best of everything for self realization

Eventually developing one’s own religion

Which is universal within one’s boundary conditions!

 

Evangelism makes slaves out of religion

Barring people from inherited wisdoms

Making one self-censored limited in vision

Arousing baptised-union for victorious mission

Marring Earth with Holy Wars against the very creation!
