Religionless!

Over the past few years I have had a lot of questions in my life. Questions that never met with the right answers. Why God and what God? This was the most important question of my life. Closely following was the question “What is the meaning of this life?”.

I read the Gita. I got no answer. I tried “Googling” on the subject yet got no satisfying answer. The two questions stuck on with me. They would trouble me now and then.

The other day I had wandered into Higginbothams book shop near my place. On an impulse I bought a book on J Krishnmurthy called “Commentary on Living”. I basically bought it because the cover looked good and the price was comfortable. I sauntered back home to lazily gaze into the pages.

I lay down on my bed and started reading the book. Three pages into the book I had got up and my interest was completely evoked. I read with amazement and disbelief at what was written. Within 10 minutes of reading the book I realized I had atlast found the answer to my questions. I read further on and found that my heart started becoming very light. Finally everything in this world started to make sense.

I sat on the feeling for a while to make sure that it was not one of those “momentary” satisfactions. After a week now I realize that I have outgrown religion. Hinduism does not offer the answers for my questions. J Krishnamurthy gave them to me. One by one. One sweet answer by one. As a consequence of which I am not attached to my religion, for that matter any religion, anymore.

I am a citizen of the free world and I have become religion less.

Thanks JK, for setting me free.
