• At first, we need to understand what is religion? Many definitions are proposed. Some
of these are phenomenological, trying to state that which is common to all the
acknowledged forms of religion; for example, religion is: “The belief in the existence
of a god or gods, and the activities that are connected with the worship of them.
• ”1 Others are interpretative and psychological; for example: The feelings, acts, and
experiences of individuals in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand
in relation to whatever they may consider the divine.”
• 2 Some definitions are cultural and sociological, for example: “A set of beliefs,
practices, and institutions which people have evolved in various societies.
• ”3 Yet others are philosophical and spiritual definitions of religion, for example:
“Religion is the recognition that all things are manifestations of a Power (Ultimate
Reality) which transcends our knowledge.”
• 4 Such definitions are all stipulated: they decide how the term is to be used in different

m
contexts. Perhaps a more realistic view is that the word “religion” does not have a single

definite meaning. However, all the great religions have a specific structure.

types of goals:

• Basic Life Needs First of all people want to fulfill their basic physiological needs such
as air, food, shelter, drink, sleep etc. These are natural requirements. We are all born
o

with built-in pleasure-pain reactors. If we ignore these physiological needs, we would

soon die. But at the same time we must understand that excessive indulgence in physical
aC s
vi y re

pleasure causes suffering and diseases.

• Socio-economic Achievements The next stage is to obtain socio-economic success with
three prongs of: power, fame and money. These achievements last longer than pleasure
and give better feelings about social position and safety. However human beings are
ed d

not fully contented at this level because material resources and social status do not
ar stu

reflect true happiness and blissful life.

• Self-contentment The next goal is to obtain inner-satisfaction and self-contentment. In
socioeconomic success we enjoy respect and gratitude from peers. But more important,
is

however, is self-respect, self-esteem, and self-contentment which come from

consciousness, wisdom, contributions, character, and service
