Will the Next Gen Carry Them Forward or NOT?

The current "technology" generation is progressing so much ahead in science & technology. Science, technology & Education has gotten so much importance as never in the past almost in every part of the world. So is the new generation going to be "mindful" just in technology or will they think religion too? Bottom line - Do the myths continue in the name of religion or is the new generation going to apply their mind (which they apply in their eduction/careers) & see the myths that are followed & shun the unnecessary or are they going to continue taking the load on their shoulders?

It certainly takes guts to STOP following whatever the myths /shortcuts to life are. It demands you to be thoughtful about your life; only then you can get the courage to REMOVE the myths from your life & take control of your own life. For e.g. if you are jobless, and approach a "pundit", they might advise you to repeat a mantra 1000times & that will get you a job within their contracted period. If the target is achieved, then sure you can believe in the coincidence or in the "pundit", the choice is yours! If its not achieved, there are more mantras to repeat or probably the terms & conditions in the contract were not met properly :)-....may be you misspelled the mantras or forgot to do them once in a while. What else can you expect out of the "begging for help" attitude?

In my opinion, you can really spend time productively by searching for a job in the time you spent repeating the mantras. Plus repeating something creates boredom....remember mugging up in school? was it ever interesting? Just put your mind to work here....how is the mantra going to help me get a job? If you get a legitimate answer then surely follow it. Follow it, then you get pissed off or so long as you desire to keep walking with your eyes closed.

In my opinion, the entire "myth" business carried out by pundits should be STOPPED & you should be prepared to be more thoughtful not trying to get solutions from outside but from within.

Doubt on a Myth & It Will Burn That Second!

STOP the Myth, Let the Reality RULE!

STOP letting the myths take control of your life, let the reality RULE! How much % of what you live is based on myths which are empty & thoughtless. Or is your life based on REALITY? If you have no clue of what I am talking about.....here are some myths - 1) Don't wear a diamond ring...it may not suite you...it only suites some human beings 2) Don't cut your hair/nails on Saturday 3) Fast for 12 weeks or 2 years or Don't eat something (badha) to get something and the list is endless.

Do you know why you are following these ideas or are these learned from a book or from people (most likely your elders/society)? We question the seller so much when we buy something and haggle over the price to get the best deal....why not apply the same idea before adopting the "myths" in the name of religion. Why accept without thinking & without getting involved in the deal? Does religion teach you to accept w/o thinking? This is not religion...this is believing something w/o putting your mind in it. Religion comes from self-experience....when you do something putting all your mind into it, you generate an experience that is captured somewhere deep inside you. So when you are blindly accepting something w/o putting your mind into it, you are NOT generating that experience....but you are forcefully imposing something on to you which can & will make you unstable & heavy. So I say, first think, try to find out, then if you know the truth, you do not need to believe, it becomes your thought...no question of believing it!!

More to come as I experience & try to break my shell of myths.
