Dharma

The time has come to turn back to religion. The time has come to find out more about the great Hindu religion. The time has come to understand the Gita. The time has come to understand and inculcate the importance of religion in life. The time has come to stop being a non-believer. Not that I was a non-believer because I thought that god didn’t exist but because I was lazy to embrace god in my life. I find it pretty strange that I even feel this way where I am questioning my existence in conjunction with religion. I have been contemplating off late about religion and how I don’t know anything about it. Hinduism is supposed to be a way of life and sounds like a good excuse not to know much about it. Well, this excuse is not good enough anymore. It is time to understand the nuances of the religion, its spirituality and its philosophy. I am positive that it is going to be a huge challenge to get a grip of it. Hopefully, it won’t be as difficult as I envisage it to be in my mind. The devil lies in the mind and it is for me to quell it and be victorious.
I was born into this religion for a reason and it is my Dharma to follow it and reap my karma. It is my dharma to learn more and live by it so that I can possibly attain the same bliss that my forefathers attained spiritually. It is not a myth. Times were much better years ago because people followed certain beliefs and had strong faith. It is time for me to try and get that faith into my life. Faith is tough to achieve and faith will happen only if the mind wants it to happen. The soul has to believe that it can be attained and probably life will be a lot smoother. It will probably resemble a sudden wave of cool air blowing through the trees and hitting you with serene bliss on a hot summer day.

Yes, life would be so much simpler if one had faith.... leave it to God, he will take care, easier to take leaps into the unknown if one has faith also, otherwise you just agonize and agonize and are left with nothing.
