Religion makes us the happiest of beings. But religion must be realized to make us happy. It must become part of us, not simply a pleasant thought or a beautiful idea. When we live religion, we are happy. To live religion means to live the Truth, to feel and to express that Truth in our lives. But first, we must know the Truth. Otherwise, how can we live it?
