I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. Khalil Gibran

India is the home of religion. We find Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Islam, Christainity, Hinduism, Zoroastrinism etc. in India. The teachings of religion have been envisaged in holy books of religion like Gita, Quran, Bible, Zend Avesta etc. and the essence of all the religion is humanity, brotherhood, peace, tolerance, love, etc.

The word religion comes from Latin word Re-ligare in which ligare means to bind or to connect and adding re before ligare means to rebind or to reconnect. Thus religion encourages people to think about how they can rebind or reconnect themselves with God who is infinitely more intelligent and loving.[footnoteRef:1] It is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observences and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

The society, religion and state are the worldly created concepts and we cant shed blood in the name of it. All religion emerged only for the sake of bringing peace and love in the world while there are some orthodox followers who take religion according to their interests as a source of war and a justification of their crime. Religion is nothing but a unification of human under one flag for peace and love.

Human performs deeds only for his pleasure and follows religion to get salvation. If eating and having fun is only what we are born to do then we should keep one thing in mind even animals can do such activity. If god has created us as humans there has to be some reasons behind it. Now it depends upon us how do we utilize this blessing of being human?

Death is sure to come. The one who has taken birth has to die someday[footnoteRef:3] and when we will die we will take nothing but our good deeds with us. Then why should we fight for this all worldly created concepts? [3: Swami Mukundananda, Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, verse 27]

We should work for humanity, peace, brotherhood, equality and non-violence which are true religion of mankind. We remember Mother Teresa, Mahatama Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Malala Yousafzai etc. for their selfless work for humanity which is the true religion of mankind.

Serving the humanity doesnt mean becoming social worker and devoting all the time in that. According to me it means helping anyone who is in need around you according to your capacity of helping. If you have something in extra and you share with needy then it will really help him and will add one good deed in your life story. You can go to orphanages and old age homes for celebrating your birthdays and happy moments of your life. You will find love and selflessness in people present there that will make you feel true religion of mankind.

If going to temples, mosques and churches and offering flowers, chadars and candles are true religion for someone then helping the needy, poor and unprivileged is also true religion for me. The Person who on one hand is dishonest and corrupt on the other hand does charity, offers flowers, chadars and candles on religious places can be termed as a good man in the eyes of society but cant be termed as a good man in real sense. Doing your own deeds honestly and not annoying others unnecessarily are the pillars on which true religion subsists.

In the present Pandemic, it is being seen that some people, organizations and NGOs are serving people with food, transportation, medicines and housing. They are really serving the humanity and are the true followers of religions. Prophet Mohammad has said once, God doesnt look at your forms and possessions but he looks at your hearts and your deeds.
