If a person is religious, the only proof of his being religious is his cheerfulness.
Going to the church does not prove anything. Reading the Bible or Bhagavad Gita proves nothing.
You can worship God and pray every day ritually; it means nothing unless your heart dances continuously, unless you create an aroma of cheerfulness within and without.
Then whether you remember God or not, it does not matter. If you are cheerful, God remembers you.
And thats what is really significant: not your remembering God, but God remembering you.
One of the great Indian mystics, Kabir, has said that, There were days when I used to remember God, and I searched in every nook and corner, I went everywhere. I asked the learned people, I listened to very scholarly discourses. I was continuously crying and weeping and calling God, but no reply, no response; the skies remained absolutely indifferent.
But then one day when I forgot all about God, and was dancing and singing, and was so lost in my dance and in my song that I could say I was not, only the dance was, he came and started calling me Kabir, Kabir! Since then he follows me and calls Kabir, Kabir, Where are you going? What are you doing? I dont call him any more, but he continuously calls me.
And thats what is really significant, when God calls you. That is possible only if you create the space of cheerfulness.
Take Care and Keep Smiling....
