By Swami RamdasThe object of religion is to raise human life and consciousness to divine life and consciousness. It is, in fact, a God-possession by which every aspect of life is elevated and transformed into an absolute state of perfection. The purpose of all spiritual discipline such as prayer, worship and self-dedication is to attain to this exalted state. It must be at the very outset understood that the supreme Truth that we aspire to realise is dwelling within every one of us. God, who is at once the immanent and transcendent spirit, who is the one sole Reality, is not only the silent and attributeless Brahmn but also a Truth revealed as eternal light, infinite love and endless peace and bliss.
