Religion is Reverence

Undated

From:

Sri Sathya Sai

My Dear! Accept my Blessings and Love.

Religion is not a dogmatic faith, but the necessary conduct implicit in the movement towards perfection. Therefore, religions cannot readily contradict one another. All religions are the different forms taken in practical life by the one aspiration for perfection working through different temperaments. In this sense, no true freedom is possible without freedom in the light of religion.

Religion is the attitude of reverence, which human beings have towards the Supreme Being, based on the relationship that exists between them and the Supreme Being. This reverence may take different forms in different persons, because of the differences in the conception of the relation that is between man and the Supreme Being.

With Blessings,

Sri Sathya Sai Baba
