I don’t listen what you say
I only watch what you do.
“Religion is, in reality,
living. Our religion is not what we profess, or what we say, or what we proclaim;
our religion is what we do, what we desire, what we seek, what we dream about,
what we fantasize, what we think - all these things - twenty-four hours a day.
One's religion, then, is ones life, not merely the ideal life but the life as
it is actually lived. Religion is not prayer, it is not a church, it is not
theistic, it is not atheistic,it has little to do with what people call
‘religion’. It is our every act. If we tromp on a bug, that is our religion; if
we experiment on living animals, that is our religion; if we cheat at cards,
that is our religion; if we dream of being famous, that is our religion; if we
gossip maliciously, that is our religion; if we are rude and aggressive, that
is our religion. All that we do, and are, is our religion.”
