Read less ; less is better than more . read less , think more , analyse your feelings and experiences , then put it on the balance of science and act to achieve that is the truth .Analyse , means to take the truth on better available sources and leave all that is doubtful , unscientific and unprovable obsolete .
Do not believe that is heard , spoken , rumoured , written in the books of religion , teachers /preachers , elders /olden and traditions / conventions for many generations . read , observe , analyse , and when you find that it / that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all in reference to that particular time and place and circumstances ,then accept it . then and then live up to it . beliefs becomes knowledge if the belief is true . believe a person who does not ask you to only believe him but believe him who is competent to turn the belief in truth . who is competent to enable you to test , what he asked to believe . ( Ram Krishna to Vivekanand .)
Religion can be a matter of faith for those who can not verify it , for those who are incompetent to realize what is true .who are in doubt about any thought or thing but not able / capable to get themselves . we believe in many things /thoughts discovered by others in science but verified by others and many and could be verified by all i they want . this is the case with religion also . but the facts related to religion are to be verified individually and rather more difficult to achieve . so far no method has been got to show what one feels and experiences in his own mind . that is why,people want to see some charisma . but these cases are very very rare and seem to be coincidences . some time these incidents are true and others are exaggerated . we should be careful in these cases .
only those who tread the path , can be witnesses only and can prove or not approve , the true and the false । in Upnishadas the teacher and the taught /student are equally busy whole life in pursuit of truth . the student busy in teaching , what he has learned and the teacher is learning when teaching and also when not teaching . learning is a process from cradle to grave .
So learn what to read ; whom to believe and what and where to act . but if you want to know the Truth you will have to act , no other one can it on your behalf or in your place . it is well said , '' one ho wants to test death , he will have to die . Religion may go with faith but one can try it and find the TRUTH .
