AIDS TO REALIZATION | IWGR II | RAMA राम

|| THE IDEAL OF SHIVA ||

Every religion ought to have three phases , one is philosophy , the other is ritual , and the third is mythology .

Philosophy is for the learned ; ritual is for the outward body , for the children ; and mythology is for the thinker .

The three have to go hand in hand .

If anyone lags behind , then that religion cannot stand .

It is because of these three being in perfect harmony in the Hindu Scriptures that the Hindu religion is still the religion of 300,000,000 people .

Any religion that lacks one of these cannot be the real religion .

In the Hindu religion all these three are in a perfect state .
