Build them no temple; build them no mosque
Build them no holy abode with your dirt!
If you want them to pray, then let them pray chaste
Build them not walls, but build them a heart!
Build them a heart, and fill it with love
So much love, that they beg you to stop!
If you want my faith, that is easy to get
Give me not myth; just give me the truth!
Life will speak for itself in silence
Truth will recognize itself in silence!
Don’t ring those bells; don’t yell those hymns
You don’t need all that noise to know!
Stir them to listen, if you know how,
Stir them to listen to the sound of silence!
If you want them to see, let them see for themselves
Let them listen to the voice deep within!
Build them a heart, and fill it with love
Love knows no barriers; it knows only faith!
If you want my faith, that is easy to get
Show me not shrines, but show me your heart!

I loved the poem - is it one of your own?
"truly hope that people would recognize their one true religion: Humanity. I wish they realize the real meaning of religion, which is not merely about ringing the bell or showing the light, but is a grand way of life leading nowhere but to the Ultimate Truth" Amen
Hi Pradeep,
"Build them a heart, and fill it with love" ....
yes,Our heart can love 24-hours a day without ever running empty...what a wonderful thought!
A wonderfully composed poem indeed!
An author said this which this post can be described as:
"An eye is not an eye
because you see it;
An eye is an eye
because it sees you."
A post which talks of an universal truth *humanity*....let all listen to this deep voice which lies within our individual HEART...
we all have one...(heart)
all is one!...thankyou
Life will speak for itself in silence
Truth will recognize itself in silence!
Don’t ring those bells; don’t yell those hymns

Like that statement
Cheers!
Actually this is case of not only Hinduism but of all other religion.
Now a period of follower-poaching has come up between religons which has lead to these anti religion uprising.
