Believe nothing…

“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.”

I always struggled to define my religious views. I’ve been to different churches, read different religous texts but did not feel comfortable with any religion or church. I felt that normative religious values get often misinterpreted . I felt that religious leaders are very rigid in their views and often refuse to address important issues in the society or even condone violence. Various cultural practices also tend to ‘pollute’ true religious values.

My Invisible Friend

Friends are like stars: you can’t always see them but you know that they are there, and they shine brightest when all seems dark. Thank you for being my friend and remember that I’ll  always be your friend too.

My invisible friends come to me
in the darkness of the night
To make my life more cheerful
and make it seem alright.

They’ll sneak into my bedroom
with much more cheerful banter
Bringing with them lots of smiles
displayed with random candor.

We talk about the world at length
the subject-it may change
But I never tire of talking of these
things that don’t seem strange.

They don’t really know me
And I’ve never seen their face
But we get behind a little screen
to escape this old rat race.

It must have been a blessing
Cause to me it brought a smile
Just a small amount of friendship
To make this old world worthwhile.
