A religion with humility..


This is a very old piece from Times of India. I really liked this article. This was written by Mr. R. K. Misra the winner of TOI's LEAD INDIA initiative.

"Spirituality for me is belief in something or someone who is bigger and more powerful then all of us. We do not know him and do not see him but we can feel his presence. In times when we have no solution and are stuck in a situation we leave it to someone somewhere and prey. He take care of what we can't. I have no name or picture for him, it is just a concept, beyond anything which I know or see.
I do consider myself spiritual. The concept of god for me is of one who only does good and and take care of things which are beyond the human abilities  I am religious not ritualistic. I do not visit places of worship but if I happen to be at a place of worship, I do offer my prayers. I believe in the religion of humanity. I strongly support what is right against what is wrong.
I do not make any personal time with god but I remember God when something good or bad happens to me. I thank him for all good or bad happens to me. I don't wear an amulet or lucky charm. In that scene  I am not ritualistic at all. I'm human. When things go wrong, I do tend to find myself turning to a higher power.
My philosophy in life is simple. Do good, work hard and be merry. I am a man in hurry who wants to convert the lead India initiative into the 'change India' movement."
