The Cycle of Religion — A Quest that Wanders ✧
Sutra 1. Religion first tastes sweet — music, devotion, rhythm.
➝ The first sip feels divine. Songs, chants, rituals — they make the mind dance, as if the soul has been touched.
Sutra 2. Taste stirs emotion, and emotion ignites passion.
➝ Joy rises like waves in the heart — half love, half desire.
Sutra 3. Passion slips into dream.
➝ The mind whispers: “If only this bliss could stay, if only life could stop here.”
Sutra 4. Dream hardens into desire.
➝ Imagination ripens into craving — and craving begins to bind.
Sutra 5. Desire turns into bondage.
➝ What once felt like freedom becomes a chain — thirst for the next taste, hope for the next touch.
Sutra 6. Bondage strengthens the mind.
➝ Religion does not dissolve the mind, it polishes it. Ego now shines in the robes of “faith” and “devotion.”
Sutra 7. The stronger the mind, the deeper the distraction.
➝ Where mind grows heavy, the soul slips farther away. This is religion’s hidden trick.
Sutra 8. The promise of liberation is only a mirage.
➝ Liberation remains confined to scriptures, songs, and imagination.
Sutra 9. Religion binds man in a shining circle.
➝ From outside, it glitters with color and beauty. Within, the same cycle repeats. No real transformation happens.
Sutra 10. Liberation is nowhere — only the circle returns.
➝ Taste comes, taste fades. Emotions rise, emotions fall. The mind binds, then dreams of release. This endless spin — religion.
