How am I to enquire into religion?

What is religion? What is God, what is immortality, what is beauty? Can the mind put aside totally all the structure of thought with regard to religion?

Can the mind be free of the authority of another however divine or not divine? Can the mind put away everything that man has taught or invented, imagined about religion, God? Can wisdom be sought through a book, a teacher from another, through sacrifice, torture, renunciation?

Can the mind be free of all the things that are born of fear, desire, and pleasure?

Your thoughts, speech and behaviour are the very essence of religion. If they are not, religion can't exist.
