The Church, Temple And Mosque Are In Your Soul

Our soul is the sacred essence within us: our deepest purpose, our unique meaning, and the guiding force behind our individual lives.

The human soul is the resting place of God’s spirit. We visit the places of worship to experience God in a better way by physically being available in the holy sanctuary or the altar.

Jesus taught in the Holy Bible, “when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your unseen father. Then your father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”

I am not preaching to you, not to visit places of worship. But on the contrary, to be more aware of God’s presence in your soul than in other places.

Many Christians attend Sunday church services because they feel obliged to go to church as a social norm to please their family members or elders of society. Going to church, temple or mosque is only a means to an end and not an end in itself.

Jesus’ teaching is that God is within you and pray to the unseen father, sitting anywhere in the world. I want to nail a thought into your mind that God hears the prayers of the faithful even where there are no churches, temples or mosques.

There is only one God and we are all his children. It doesn’t matter which religion you practice. Each moment God is knocking on the door of your heart for him to enter and dwell in you. I particularly tell this to people who are leading a sinful life doing sins like blackmailing, adultery, murder, devil worship etc. Repent and turn away from your sinful life.

We’re all preachers. The first thing you should do is to walk the talk. There is no use giving millions of dollars to charity and at the same time, evading taxes from the government or making money through unlawful means.

We are human beings with many weaknesses. God understands it. That doesn’t mean that it is a license to lead a sinful life even at the age of 40 or 50. We must have obeyed our parents, priests, teachers, and elders from a young age itself. Always remember that we are not permanent visitors to this planet, but have to die after some years. The only thing that remains with us on our death, is the good deeds we did in this world, which decides whether or not we reach heaven after death.
