54. Religion should be in soul not only in actions
There is a difference between a religious person and a real soul. A person who obtains a certificate of righteousness by performing the rites and rituals of religion with body, by speaking the religious words and by donating some money is not real soul. But a virtuous soul is one in whose soul there is religion. Wherever he is, religion will always be there in his soul. A person who acts religious, he looks religious only at religious places, as if disguised like an acrobat. As there is oil in ghee, heat in fire, coolness in water, sweetness in sugar, saltiness in salt, bitterness in neem, spiciness in pepper, sourness in lemon and infinite bliss in Siddhas similarly religion is intermingled in a religious soul.
