To be religious means…to gather all your energy, to inquire into what is true and what is reality, to inquire into what is meditation, to inquire into why human beings live the way that we are living, to inquire into what is sorrow, to inquire into what is love, whether one can live without any effort and control all that is implied in that word. A religious life implies being a light to yourself, which means no outside authority. No spiritual authority, including me, the speaker.
