society has no soul, no center of consciousness. society is simply an accumulation of our inter-relationships. it is the individual who has the soul and therefor religion must be individual as well...
religion is not one of my relationships, it is my being.
the discovery of what i am in my intrinsic nature, is my real isness, is religion.
religion is self knowledge, it is not social. my religious or spiritual journey does not relate to any group or crowd. but my spiritual experience does cast its light on the group, on society. the practice of religion is personal, but its effect does touch society. when i am filled with inner light my behavior also fills with it. the inner being is individual, personal, but behavior is social.
spiritual growth can never be collective, because i have to come to know myself not in the company of others, but alone... all alone.
uncover and know yourself. let there be nothing in you that remains unknown to you. let there not be a single corner in you that remains dark and uninspected. if you become familiar with all your inner rooms, that same familiarity turns into self-conquest.
