    Suppose you identify yourself as a scientist. One day you realize that you have to cross the domain of science to find truth. Will you let go of your identity as a scientist? No. We tend to cling to our identity. We twist the truth to preserve our identity. It's true for everyone. Someone who identifies himself as a Shiva devotee would rather preserve his identity than merge with Shiva.

    Conversations are like movies. There has to be a villain to make them interesting. Often it’s difficult to find a safe, distant and common villain. Our desire to have a conversation is so strong that we end up making someone close to us a villain.“Mom, your favourite child did this.” “Dear husband, your mother did this.” “Son, your wife did this.” These are just attempts of a human mind to do an interesting conversation but they end up in a full fledged drama at home.

    Spirituality and religion are paths to reach God. But majority of people have installed their tents on the path itself. Their beliefs and theories are so rigid that they have a retort for everything. Even if God comes to them, they will call Him impostor and go back to their tent and bury their head in scriptures and symbols and rituals.

    There are two stages to find God: (1) Arrive at your own theory of everything, a theory that explains everything. It can be a devotee's simple theory too. (2) Let go of the theory and the one holding the theory. If you fully believe in your theory, you can let go of it. If you have doubts, you will defend it and cling to it.
