Religion... Of LOVE?

Ok, i'm suppose to be typing tis on sunday or maybe monday bt i was juz too tired (or lazy) to type anything...

Well, on sunday,we had tis session in temple about knowing Swami (God)... It all comes down to believing in it, having faith & most importantly, to experience it. Experience wat...? faith in wat...? believe in wat..? u may ask.. That is, your life...

Ok, i reali dont wanna sound like sme goody2-shoe but i have to share tis with whoever is interested in tis topic... Most importantly, i am NOT preaching... =P

On Sunday, while i was going back home, I saw my colleague coincidently... Well,since both of us hadnt had our dinner, we went for dinner. Our conversation varied... but one topic kinda striked me in my mind - Religion.

Ok, tis chap i knw is a free-thinker. I am a hard-core believer in Hinduism. =P Something which I m so proud of. Ok, tat's nt the point... Well, we were toking abt Thaipusam, Fire Walking, Pongal etc... Well, to me, all these traditions was created by Humans.
I believe tat God didnt come down and say you shld sacrifice urself,pain etc to show the love of God... My fren gave a good explanations on how these traditions started. For e.g: Why ppl carry kavadi & celeb pongal etc... Let's not eleborate tis point...

Hmmm.... so the topic continued thru our dinner... To me, from the values i learnt, i realised to reach God, you've to help your fellow men. Manava Seva is Madhava Seva - which means, Service to Men is Service to God.
Which is true.. ok, come to think of it regardless u're a free-thinker or otherwise... When you help someone in ANY way, maybe givin water to a thirsty fellow or helping a blind cross the rd, don't u feel good abt urself? You're not oni helping this people... You're helping to make urself a much better person...

U may think u're sacrificing your time & energy to help a complete stranger, den u're wrong... (i dont hve the rights to say tis bt ya... i will),... =P wen u help smeone, u're giving dem joy for making their life simpler in sme ways... which in return u'll get double the joy! 1stly,u're happy smeone is happy cos of u... 2ndly,u did smething so nobel! 3rdly,ur karma will be washed... wat goes round comes round...

Why waste ur time & energy clubbing all night (temporary happiness),wen u can divert all tat energy to do smething more positive & productive (life long happiness)? Hehehe! Nah, ur life, u make the decisions... but tis is my personal opinion... =)

So tis juz part of the conversation... I tot i cld share tis with all of ya... Pls pardon me if anythin i mentioned above cld be insulting or wrong... these are all purely my personal opinion. Hey dude, thanks for ur company on sunday... =)

Hurt Never, Help Ever. =)
