Umm… why do I go to temple???

I know I know… the theists & ascetics would find it as weird as I’ve trespassed on a holy land, and it would be of no interest for those who are atheists. Well… many of us are those who do not belong to any of these categories and ply ourselves with the questions such as do I really believe in this stone sculpture? Why do I worship someone I’ve never ever seen? Why these rituals & rites just to please someone whose existence is dubious to me?

They say go to religious places and you’ll feel good, you’ll get power & wisdom…I ask why and how?… I get many answers, none of which could suffice my incertitude.

but after passing these puzzles in & out of my mind, I got something… something reasonable… which ticks me to be a fairish answer to all the Whys above… might tick you too… :)

I believe in the concept of energy… because you can feel it in every form, positive or negative... and that’s the thing that made me apprehending the concept of worshiping n all.

Observing many visiting places where a mass of people go, its plain and simple to see that religious places are the only spots where everyone goes with a common state of mind, i.e. having positive energy in their thoughts. They leave all the tension of the world aside and come here to seek the peace.

Just think, when everyone is having a pure positive thought and feel within himself together with all other people at a single place, it becomes the center of spirituality. Now, why on the earth wouldn’t that place be worth worshipping? It’s already pious with all the positive souls gathered!

So even if you are an atheist… just once, having the above thought in your mind, go to such a place. Don’t follow the rituals if you don’t want to. But you’ll be far away from the chaos of the world outside and feel the flow of irrefutable energy...

once again... leave or think of it! its up to u :)

A nice collection of thoughts.Whether u r an atheist or a theist,all it depends on hw u think.Atheist denies d existence of GOD,cz he thinks he,himself is sufficient enough to fight wid everyhting..whereas a theist always seeks for blessings from GOD.When difficult situations come we think about how to overcome,we apply solutions then afterwards we pray..plz GOD take care of it..jo kuch karna hai karna to humne hi hai...bhagvaan to sirf ek aasthaa hai.. :)

keep writing.!

That was really nice.
I wont go into explanation on which side of fence I fall. But that thought about positive environment coz' of common state of mind was gr8.

I am that time of person who believes that there GOD in everyone one of us in the form of energy [which comprises of everything, all emotions to intelligence to strength to never ending list of things we consist of].

anyways I like this phrase very much: I hope you like it it, just wanted to share.

One day I realized that "I am GOD. Coz' every time I talk to GOD, I find I am talking to myself."
