TRUE RELIGION (DHARMA, ધર્મ, PERFORMING DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS)

We need to reduce attachments-hatred in our relations, activities and works. For the sake of our progress there is a need to avoid oppositional attitude and to have the enthusiasm to develop true and heartfelt goodness for others. At the same time we need to find the ways to reduce desires, preferences and covetousness. We should take shelter and support of naam-smaran of God to awaken our inner strength to achieve these goals. True religion is that when we progress and prosper in our lives in this fashion. It is religion when we develop equanimity in the relationships and discussions with the souls that we interact, avoid selfishness and always act in a way to wish well of others, not hurt their feelings and harm them in any ways. Religion is a purification process of the day to day behavior. If naam-smaran is done with this kind of behavior, progress in the life accelerates. Just as mango tree cannot flourish in the soil with rocks and needs good soil, there is a need for knowledge and devotion in life for it to flourish. Prosperity and well being of life is not possible when we continue to be selfish, act with deceit and recite God's name with rosary and spend most of the time doing it.
