People normally spend such time and efforts
on choosing the ‘right’ things for themselves.
Be it buying a new dress
or selecting a spouse;
everyone regards it as highly important.
If your father gave you
his suit to wear,
most would reject it,
saying it doesn’t fit or isn’t trendy.
Likewise, your mother may have found
a staid necklace suitable
but you may prefer something jazzier.
You would stoutly resist anyone
who presumed to decide on your behalf
the dress that you ought to wear
or the type of person to marry.
Now, enter religion.
Despite our most passionate
beliefs & assertions
to the contrary,
we don’t really care a rap
which religion we follow.
It’s the only thing most people
unhesitatingly accept as a
legacy from their parents,
not because parents know the best,
but simply because they don’t really
believe in the afterlife,
or accept that they have souls,
and are just not bothered
about where they might be headed
beyond the grave.
Sure, your wifey or hubby dear
naturally matters no end,
your pretty dresses or fancy cars
obviously determine your happiness.
Ah, religion?
Who cares!
The one that your parents
were born into
is fine enough for most.
Religion is the only
one-size-fits-all stuff
that’s going around.
Wake up, folks, slumbering angels!
Your eternal soul
& guarantee of redemption
merit at least
as much consideration as the choice
of your skirt or shirt does.
You need not passively follow
your parents’ religion.
There’s a new one out there
waiting for you to discover it,
embrace and follow it,
to secure your salvation.
If you’re reading this right now,
there’s hope for you.
Pray to God to draw you
rightly unto His eternal, blissful realm;
you do not know,
but He loves you
& He wants it
more than even you!
Radhasoami!
