SUMMARY CHAPTER 3
Religion is a Kindergarten to Spirituality
• We need Religion to help us build our basic foundation of faith, hope, trust, and enthusiasm. Religion is the way to learn about God when we are just children.
• As kids it is difficult to understand that God is formless and nameless. Kids need to know that God lives somewhere and does something.
• It is up to us to use our intellect and discover the truth about God. After all, nobody has seen God, met God, but everybody can experience God.
• God exists everywhere, in the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds, the animals, and the flowers. All these are said to be creations of God, but in reality, they are the manifestations of God.
• This is what Religion should have taught us but unfortunately, because of the personal Gods of each Religion, we have been taught to believe in our Religion and our personal God and nothing else.
• Don’t we evolve from kindergarten to middle school, then high school and finally to university till we graduate? With the help of a Spiritual Master, we need to go beyond Religion. We cannot get stuck in the kindergarten of Spirituality.
