POLITICS AND RELIGION :
Politics is mundane; politicians are servants of the people. Religion is sacred; it guides people’s spiritual growth. Politics is the lowest as far as values are concerned, and religion is the highest as far as values are concerned. They are separate. I want politics not to interfere with religion. The higher has every right to interfere, but the lower has no right to do so.
Religion has been raising human consciousness for centuries. Whatever man is now, whatever little consciousness he has, the whole credit goes to religion. Politics has been a curse, a calamity; and politics is responsible for whatever is ugly in humanity. But the problem is that politics has power; religion has only love, peace and experience of the Divine. Politics has been interfering with religion all along, and it has destroyed many religious values which are absolutely necessary for the survival of humanity and life on this earth.
