Make Your Mind a Temple

Make your mind a temple.

Turn your prayers into action.

Religion is not about memorizing text.

It’s a lifestyle—treating others with love and respect.

I’ve seen golden priests with black hearts dripping greed.

I’ve met self-proclaimed-religious devotees who wear their vegetarianism as a coat to hide from the frigid air of their sins.

I know people who visit temples daily but forget to call their withering parents.

Religion is no competition.

It’s not a course to be learned.

Religion is a tool to help you become what you believe in.

So,

if only god can save you

make your mind a temple because only YOU can save yourself.
