God doesn't need anyone. On the contrary, we need Him, or at least I do.

People find different means of bringing themselves closer to God. Some of us do it through good deeds, other do it with prayer, and likewise, some choose to maintain their chastity. The destination is the same for everyone, it is the path that differs.

Well said👏

There isn't enough room for God? In that case, this Earth itself is not big enough for God, because God is not measured in size. God is everywhere; it's just that some people find more peace in temples, mosques, and churches and can feel the presence of God there in contrary to their homes, nothing wrong in that.
A famous Hindu poet once wrote about Ram.... Even if you build a house the size of 14 mansions for Ram, out of greed and lust, he will not dwell there, but in a humble devotee like Hanuman, he will dwell in his heart not only himself, but along with Sita as well.
The main message for everyone is....God dwells in the heart of the good and leaves a place once it is tainted by even an iota of bad. Temples, Mosques, and Churches are always sacred places, so God always dwells there. It is the people 'in charge' of them that may be 'bad'. There lie no fault in these places of worship. I myself have experienced the peace of mind that overcomes me as well as God's presence when I walk into a temple, and I'm sure others have as well, whether they too go to a temple, or mosque or church.

This reminds me of the counter protest banner held by the young students at Sidwell friends - "There is that of God in all of us". The point is do not let anyone tell you that it is not there and stop you from finding it.

Yes am talking about inner....the inner voice will direct you. Its directions will be absolutely different from what society says 'absolutely different. But for the first time you will becom religious, not simply moral. You will be moral in a much deeper sense. 😊Morality will not be a duty, it will not be something imposed upon you. It will not be a burden... it will be spontaneous. You will be good, naturally good. You will not become a thief ' not because society says, "Don't be a thief," but because you cannot be.....😊

My view about god people believe him but their mind is in middle how you give faith on him.........Faith means the doubt has disappeared. Belief means the doubt is there and you have created a belief against it You doubt whether God exists or not but you say, "I believe," becose your mom/wife/sis is ill and if you don't believe, who knows? God may be there. Or your job is in danger of being lost. Who knows? God may help. And if you don't believe, then he will not help. Utilitarian... it has some utility for you. Bt, doubt is there.😊 Faith means doubt has disappeared. It is the absence of doubt. But it can disappear only when you have known something within when belief has not been given to you, knowing has arisen in you. When you have come to know, to realise, then faith arises.😊thats why I tell we dont need any church or mosque and temple to pray god...if you give full faith on him....we dont want to visit that kind of place😊

i think religion needs sadhu/pandits/preists/nuns in order to propagate religion and show the right way to follow a religion.
but then god himself came to earth in different forms and ways and made different religions, then yes indirectly yes god need a sadhu/preist/nun OR rather say human being needs them to learn the right way to reach god.

Agree!👏 Humans can go astray without proper guidance. So many of those who truly want true awakeninig of the soul need the real authentic sadhus/pandits/priests/nuns so that they can lead them on the right path.

Yeah, these days more and more people call themselves pandits and mess with people's minds for money. I've seen it happen, so I don't blame people for being wary of them, but it causes a really bad image for those who are truly authentic and don't want any money in return for the service they do. I suppose we just have to use our common sense to discern the real from the unreal.
Love your avi by the way.😃

@lalitha thanks for the avi compliment it dances well on most on the songs specially twist.

pandits and sadhus and other people who do not charge money r authentic and those who charge money for doing things r not. i dont believe in them. bcoz i believe if god has given some power to a person then that is for the betterment of the society and not for them to make a living. and i also believe all those people who make money by selling god r not able to do any good for themselves in the end.
