    Activity: Religious Practice and Beliefs

    1. When was the first time you realized that there is a higher being than
    yourself? What made you believe that there is a higher being?

    Answer:
    When I was about Six or Seven, I have learnt from my parents that there
    is a higher being than myself. To be more specific, it God who made Heaven
    and Earth. I pretty well knew the earth on which I walk and that I see with my
    own eyes and nothing more. Even after my visit to another place or a local part
    of the town I lived, I used to remember that piece of earth is still there (though
    it is not in front of my eyes). I also was well aware my neighbours, public as I
    go out, my relations and my own family. As well I was aware of the pet animals,
    birds of the air, chicken, serpents and scorpions, rats etc., I was told that wild
    animals live in forests, which I have never visited, but in pictures and in the
    class books, I could make out.

    After having this much of knowledge, I believed that my parents or any


    known or unknown person ever created the nature around or away from me. I
    know that I was born to my parents, but had no knowledge as to how I came
    into the world. Then I had a very strong reason, beyond any doubt that there is
    someone Higher than me. My parents told me it is the ‘God the Creator’ who
    has created them and me and the whole world. I never had any doubt to believe
    them. They frankly told me that they have never seen that God. He is said to
    be a Spirit (which I could not really understand) and has no physical body like
    me and others. Hence we cannot see them Now I have full knowledge of what
    the Spirit is, by reading and listening to learned people.
    Reflection
    2. Reflect on Victor Frankl’s sources of the meaning of life.

    In the context of his idea, you can only reach real freedom by
    being independent from outside influences: You decide if you are
    okay with yourself or let someone take your dignity. You decide if
    you really want to tie your happiness to status, power or wealth.
    And you decide if you want to change the circumstances: You have
    the power to stop seeing yourself as a victim and start acting
    proactively.

    Victor Frankl’s philosophy is an especially powerful one,


    because it puts each and every one of us into responsibility for
    ourselves.
    The real key to happiness truly lies inside of us individually.
