There is a state of mind, known to religious men, but to no others, in which the will to assert ourselves and hold our own has been displaced by a willingness to close our mouths and be as nothing in the floods and waterspouts of God. In this state of mind, what we most dreaded has become the habitation of our safety, and the hour of our moral death has turned into our spiritual birthday. The time for tension in our soul is over, and that of happy relaxation, of calm deep breathing, of an eternal present, with no discordant future to be anxious about, has arrived. Fear is not held in abeyance as it is by mere morality, it is positively expunged and washed away

@ This willingness to surrender is the essence of world religions ~ the giving up of total control is said to pave the way to greater mastery in living

Religion helps people to appreciate things what they themselves cannot control.it highlights the limitations of material goods,personal desires & individual lives.

@ we need both science & religion !

" To ignore the findings of science is theologically irresponsible & to ignore the deeper instincts of human spirits is scientifically suicidal  "

Science is subjective,religion is objective.
Science is limited to matters of fact.
Religion is restricted to matters of value.
Focus of religion goes beyond empirical reality but also remains in the connections b/w metaphysical matter & immediacies of existence.Hardship,sufferings & conflict resolutions have been the center of concerns for all the major religions of the world.
