Politics has become the God of the day and is more so in India. Religion has come to be regarded as a superfluous thing. How then is it possible to make everyone believe in God and religion?

It is wrong to regard that politics has got some of those very people had fashioned thoseprecedence over religion. In personal life, the majority of mankind does believe in God; and inIndia, there is undercurrent of religion throughout the land. Politics is only a surface activitythrust upon most people due to socio-economic forces.When one gets knocks and blows, when he gets disgusted with the sensual objects onaccount of their impermanency, when he gets experience and discrimination and dispassion, hismind will be turned towards God. Now he becomes susceptible to religious influence; and thecompany of good men and spiritual books make him religious. Till then there is no use forcingreligion on this man.From "May I answer that" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963).
