Healers Don’t Exist (The Sonnet)Healers don't exist,Only humans do.Once you step outside the self,You'll see the world anew.Gods don't exist,Only goodness does.Prayers may soothe your soul,Action is what change requires.Psychics don't exist,But sanctity is everywhere.Once you stop conning your soul,The bridge ahead will vividly appear.When the heart awakens from superstition,Everybody will be hometown human.

If you pick up a stone on the beach and put it in your pocket, and the very next day something good happens to you, you may start having the belief that that stone is lucky for you. So, you hold on to it as a lucky charm. Now this is completely acceptable self-preservation mechanism, but when fraudsters start selling such stones to the meek and vulnerable, that is not only unacceptable, but downright criminal.

Quote
Science proceeds through constant questioning and analyzing the predominant scientific laws and modifying them if necessary. If science, as the most advanced tool in the hands of rational humanity can have the guts to change itself based on the needs of the time and society, why can’t religion as the most influential tool in the hands of divine humanity, modify itself?

Quote
The most important and uniquely glorious element of Buddha’s character was that, he did not compel his pupils to be slaves either to his teachings or to himself, but like a conscientious human, demanded from his followers to accept his words not merely out of regard for him but after subjecting them to a thorough examination. And this is where Buddha stands out from the crowd of self-proclaimed prophets.

Quote
Listen closely my dear rational brave heart - I do not want you to believe anything I say, unless it can pass the test of judgement – and by judgement, I do not mean the judgement of your dearly beloved scripture – I mean judgement of your own conscience.
