Kaleidoscope of power of religion in democracy



The resurgence of any countrys prosperity depends on its ability to counter evil deeds and actions and the same will only induce the power of people towards religious inclination and the spiritual path, which must be besmeared with  faith and belief to each other.  These fundamental thoughts are very much useful to unite the country, despite many odds and the inherent diversity.  It is the spiritual ethos, which ensures the freedom you want to have and select what religious faith you want to embrace upon and practice.  In our country where secularism is predominantly active, no one can force you to tumble in any kind of desolation to follow a particular type of religion.  Many stalwarts, even at the level of President and Prime Minister of other countries castigate their apprehension on Indian’s freedom of religion.  During his recent visit to India, Obama has also expressed his doubt on this affair of religion and its influence on our democracy. Under the name of religion, there may be the atrocities, oppression and hooliganism, but those stray incidents  cannot be a case of expressing any doubt about the religious fervor prevalent in our country extensively.

We are more than sure that our country’s strength is democracy. We have seen many changes in the field of spirituality and religion without disturbing the democratic pattern in all spheres of our lives.  Barring a few heart rendering and stray incidents to demolish the accentuation of religiosity, the country’s democracy always supports united living and thinking.  Of late, some miscreants in the name of religious leaders are polluting and diluting the fragrance of the scared and holy meaning of the religion and allure people to convert them as their disciples to follow their religion, but ultimately provoke them to engage in lascivious activities.  These leaders are getting exposed also, but defaming the whole lot of religious leaders and their idealism, is not the correct interpretation of the religious thoughts and spirituality.

People, of course, are aware of these sequential patterns of changes in the thoughts of these religious leaders. Apparently it looks  how people harbor their delusions, but when the time comes, the illusory lessons as exhorted by these frauds in disguise of  religious preachers, get exposed.  This always happens in a democratic society when you show respect to your own religion and trust and revere your religious gurus with extreme veneration.

Spirituality is of utmost important in life and when there is a diminution in respect and honor in spirituality, it shatters the morality and power of confidence of the people.  In the flame of the spirit, belief in your own and others religion plays an indoctrinating role in life.  If you do not show any respect on this aspect, the same is not that innocuous, but if you distort the faith of others in their respective religion, then is a most unpardonable crime. This only imbalances the peace prevailing in a democratic society.  Further, the spiritual role will upheave your thought process and it will uplift you.  By dint of the influence of spiritual accentuation, you create a faith in your own, you increase faith in people, in society and ultimately, you attach this faith to divinity.  Precisely, that is the reason; spirituality shows you the light of consciousness.

As stated above, the democratic society survives on the basis of faith and belief in brotherhood, religion, love and positiveness. The other aspects, which are mostly pertaining to negative traits, are all mulish and detrimental to the growth of peace in a society. 
As per the democratic principle, the society depends on four basic constituents.  The first one is spirituality and faith, which are the major strengths for upliftment in culture, thoughts and feelings of people in a society.  It is the foremost criteria to sustain any society in unity. The second one is politics.  If the influence of the politics is unbiased, nepotism free and in a position to govern their people in the right way, the people will be enthralled.  The third one is a media.  The more the media is free from prejudices and negative campaigns; it will be in a position to guide the nation accurately and more precisely.  The fourth one is trade, business and economy.  If this aspect is continued on an intellectual platform of honesty and the country becomes a corruption free society, the people and the nation will be more prosperous. When all these four constituents work in tandem and in proper coordination, the flourish growth of any country cannot be axed.

Each one of us is like a flute.  Beseeched by the negative influence of others will make you hollow and empty.  No amount of sincerity will then make you play the flute.  And even you are able to play the same, it will be a mockery of your true individuality.  Contrarily, if you are able to emasculate this negativity, you will be attracted to the divine harmony and the same will give you soothing spiritual affinity to the environment, which you are surrounded by.  You will be able to integrate everyone and everything with a melodious attachment.  All the rhythms and sounds of your life, then come to a blissful harmony. At that point of time, your heart becomes amenable to positive thoughts and you are able to recognize the sweetness of the atmosphere.  In this phase, you will not find anyone stranger to you. Basically, being the highest democracy prevailing in our country, we always try to emanate this type cordial  message to the world to increase our acceptability  more as a democratic country with a firm believer of all the religions.

Now, when you are able to feel, under the feeling of spirituality that your heart blossoms, all your desolation and infirmities simply vanish and confine you  in the slough of divine feeling.  All the anxieties evolve in your mind due to the influence of the worldlings cannot plait you from the goal of attainment of transformation. During this time of volatility of mind, you much practice meditation, affirmations of spiritual thoughts, live with religious people and utter hymns at equal intervals.  With these practices, you, me and everyone in our society can make our nation a part of blissful world and then only, we will be able to proclaim with much confidence that the biggest democratic country of the world is completely in harmony with the spiritual feeling and faith in all religions. This feeling of religiosity is the trump card of our nation’s lively effervescence towards the biggest democracy.
