When you hear the word ‘religion’, all kinds of images come to mind, all kinds of symbols. The Christian, Hindu and Muslim have their own symbols, dogmas and beliefs.

They are first Hindus or Muslims or Christians, and then they begin to seek. So to find out if there is or if there is not something which is beyond thought, which is not measurable by the mind, the mind must first be free.
