ARE SOME PEOPLE SELLING RELIGION ?

 

“ Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, Man cannot live without a spiritual life.”

So, The topic above ended with a question mark because we are still not clear about its true answer. We are still not clear that some people are literally doing it or not and even if we prove they are, Then their followers will refuse to believe us.

Let me give you the explanation of the above mentioned quote- The quote means that one cannot live without believing in god or having a spiritual life as mankind needs to have faith in a divine power which will give him hopes and strength to live. But now a days many people use this faith of people in god in a wrong sense. They just sell the religion or use it for their benefit by claiming themselves messengers or managers of god. They succeed in their selfish motives because of foolish people, Its not their innocence but foolishness as they did not see the huge profits of these managers and even if they see, They just ignore these things and move on. Have you seen the famous film ‘PK’ by Aamir Khan? Well, that movie really showed us and opened our eyes towards the mismanagement of these managers. Why not every religion would have same customs?  The answer is very complex. Many Pandits, Maulvis, and Fathers or Bishops earn large sums of money in the name of god. They teach us to live a simple life but themselves live in absolute luxury. Just imagine a priest coming to temple in his Mercedes. Well that’s funny but negatively. The car is bought by legally looting hard earned money of devotees. This does not prove that all are bad but those who are, Are really rich by being bad.

The next negative side is this some people use the religion in a wrong manner like promotion of terrorism. Most of us say that Terrorism has no religion , Then how it is originated? Many powerful criminals like Hafeez Saed for example the no.1 enemy of India summon and encourage young boys and do their brainwash by saying that if you will perform ‘Jihad’ they will go straight to Heaven. They believe that every other country is an enemy of Islam. This word is rephrased by such people and let the youth think that it means killing of mankind on a larger basis and even if they fail to convince the youth, they use money power to persuade them to move on wrong path. Thus some not all are really selling religion just for their selfish motives and benefits. And at last, lets hope that these foolish people will understand and the sun of knowledge will shine on them again.
