All religions are equal


I do not follow anyone or anything in life blindly. Your problems and success are a result of your actions and hard work, so have faith in yourself. Life throws surprises at you in different ways, and taking it in your stride with a positive attitude is a way to be at peace.
I'm a spiritual person, a seeker of knowledge beyond clich?d religious beliefs. I believe in thinking and doing good things. Many people do all the wrong things in life and seek redemption by praying. However, I don't think that is the right approach for me. I don't get into a zone of believing that if don't pray, I will be a sinner or bad things will happen to me, that's a very naive approach which most of the world follows. I'd rather live and let live, and be at peace with myself by analysing my thoughts and actions.
I don't really pray everyday, but being a sikh, I believe in the right actions. I do meditate sometimes to connect with that higher soul and ask for his forgiveness and blessings, and to guide me to the path of good deeds and positive thoughts.
I am very secular and have visited shrines of different religions. You can go to any place of worship and not consider one to be more important than the other. I have been to the Golden Temple, Vaishno Devi, Ajmer Sharif, Tirupati Balaji and many more. Many times I wish to go to the Haji Ali dargah and Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai, and when I go to Delhi, I wish to visit the Bangla Sahib Gurudwara and the Nizammudin dargah. In the future, I would love to visit the Vatican. I take blessings from the teachings of various religious books as all of them convey the same message and extol the same virtues. I feel that all religions are equal.
I am not superstitious at all. I don't believe in lucky colors . I do and follow pleases me, my cars are all different in color just because that color pleased my eye when i saw it and not because it is lucky or something..
I connect with my inner self by clearing my conscience. I believe in the 'live and let live' policy and not being judgmental about others. What can be right for me, could be wrong for someone else, so each to his own. I learn from all my past mistakes and have faith in my actions. It's your belief and faith in your deeds that takes you forward in life.
