"The religious system might have been misused, but that does not mean that religion should be avoided. Real religion should be taken. It does not mean that because religion has not been properly executed by the so-called priests, religion should be rejected. If my eye is giving me some trouble on account of a cataract, it does not mean that the eye should be plucked out. The cataract should be removed. That is God consciousness."-Srila Prabhupada.
Curious as to where on this planet where 'real religion' exists, where it is followed successfully?
ReplyDeletei have seen in in individuals only, not as a collective whole. im realizing that a relationship with God doesnt have anything to do with certain religious organizations and their stigmas... a crude example would be like calling all blondes 'dumb'. they are not all dumb but some are, and give the rest a bad name :)
