Bangladesh: Religion and Spirituality

Sadiq M Alam on religion and spirituality. “One can become cold blooded murderer even in the name of religion, in the name of God and justifying unthinkable crime even holding a holy book of religion. What is interesting is that Spirituality without religiousness again becomes selfish, an escape route for something called ‘personal enlightenment (!)’ which can be extremely ego-centric and disguised selfish pursual. Religions, no matter what religion i name, offer a codified way to life, guide us with a tangible guidance.”

  • Nice point! Religion without spirituality is just a dry teaching without life in it. On the other hand, spirituality without religion, as you said, can be just a selfish experience.
