I am very sensitive about my beliefs. So much so that I do not share it even with my parents. I heard a famous actor say once 'Keep your spiritual beliefs like sex, within four walls is bliss but out in the public is trouble.' When people around me were commenting as to how can such a public statement be made, I felt my thoughts had been blurted out. When people ask about my favorite temple or god or how I pray , I shrug away. Partially because I myself do not know and partially because its none of their business. I am asked questions of why I can't state myself as an atheist instead of complications. I repeat that 'I am spiritual but not religious'.
To me GOD is GOD. I enjoy all rituals like puja or a marriage with pleasure as long as I am not pressurized. Once it becomes instructions, the soul and its purpose is lost. There is no purpose in a highly religious person doing a puja just because history says it will make you get more money or peace. It should be felt and savored by your body and mind during the process.
Temples are PEACE to me. I go alone when I feel like and stay in peace for a few minutes. I do not go because someone asks me to or because its a ritual. There is no difference between a park and temple when you keep chattering all through with a gang. Its perfectly alright if you don't go to temples yet feel it in your nerves or thoughts.
I want my thoughts to be just in sync with GOD. I am sure it will be perfectly fine as long as I do not disrespect my own beliefs. I do not wanna say HIM coz I do not know it. It you who should decide your spirituality and not the society or people around you. You wanna praise, scream, scold, cry..let it be between just you and GOD and let none come in the middle. Let it be a secret..you can trust GOD to keep them intact for you.
Above is a garbled version of my thoughts. More organised ones coming up!
