Religion: Being True To Your Own Nature
The Vedanta Kesari
|August 2019
The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature.1This is a pretty simple, straight-forward statement. Being true to our own nature is the greatest religion that is or can ever be. That is it. End of story. While this is really simple, this is also, by far, the grandest statement that Swamiji has uttered on religion. Why? Let us see presently.
Our religious books mention some things about man, God and the universe. We should believe in those things. That is religion, as is generally understood. The closer these ideas are to our selfishness, the greater acceptability those ideas get. Such is the trend in religion. So long as the religious ideas do not clash with, or unsettle, our present life-style, they are considered practical.
