Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life – Buddha
Death is one of the things which man has not been able to overcome or conquer. Humanity is not sure of what lies ahead in life after death. Science does not give a conclusive explanation for life after death. This mystery has made man believe in the spiritual part of him. The truth is that man is not just flesh and blood, but there is a soul in each one of us. The soul is considered the immortal part. According to this Buddha’s quote, living life without acknowledging our spiritual being (the soul) is vanity.
I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality, and fraternity – A.R Ambedkar
All the religions on earth have some kind of guide. Christians have the Bible while Muslims have the Koran. Each religion has different types of teaching, but are founded on love of God to man.

The bottom line is a religion should bring us together, however diverse we may be.
