Hidden gems - 2 Significance of Religion
Religion has played a cohesive bond among people. It is natural that people believing in the same religion, have stood by each other, with much strength and constancy .
Religion is a disciplined way of life which instils a faith in higher Authority. It is the greatest motivating power for realising that infinite energy which is the birth right and nature of every man.
In building up character, in making for everything that is good and great, in bringing peace to others and peace to one's own self, religion is the highest motivating power.
Names of the religions are different as they arose in different parts of the world in different times. But the same human values to be followed ,are advocated by all of them. Fanatics take religion into their hands and cause destruction in the name of promoting their religion. It is the greed for power, land
fame and ignorance that mars the purity of religion.
Regarding the necessity and value of religion in leading a disciplined and harmonius life, Mahatma Gandhi says, ' If someone says that he does not believe in religion, it tantamounts to the saying, ' I breathe but I don't have a nose.'
