Being Religious Or Non-Religious

Being religious is being bound to an idea.

Religious: relating to or believing in.
Religion: being bound.

We are all attached to some idea, be it in a form of religion, politics, science, entertainment, appearance, education … it’s all in the mind.

‘Religion’ is an oxymoron: a figure of speech that is a concept with opposite meanings – it’s a contradiction, a paradox. We can be so against religion that we are religious about it 🙂

The whole point of being conscious is freeing ourself from elaborate attachments which are all in the mind. We are bound by chosen distractions but, in the moment of just seeing, we’re free of attachments. No elaborations are necessary.

This is what meditation is – just seeing.
Just seeing is clarity, and clarity is divine splendour.
Divine? Divine: Supreme reality.
Supreme? Supreme: that is above all concepts.

Freedom is not being enslaved.
