Finding God is a tumultuous task. To say that you are still finding God at 26 would sound like an infidel. To say that you do not agree with what the religious people preach would make you sound like an anti-Christ for the Christians, like dajjal for Muslims.
People may settle down and be satisfied with what they believe in. Like a religious person said when we met one fine evening. To follow without any question is also good he said; there is a term to describe this sort of people, I care not to remember because I would never agree. The simplistic view is not for me and in fact, it would not be suitable for most of the people, except the retarded.
Never would it be a complete understanding without us making the effort to understand God. Mere rituals are not sufficient. Mere rituals are for the people who are incapable of synthesis. For us, the people who are capable of thinking need to offer more than that to understand the religion and God.
Mere rituals after generations to come will lost in translation. A person praying to God in the last generation would not feel as deep as what is felt by the person in the generation before, the humility and transcendence degrade.
After a while, it would be like a mere tradition; a daunting effort to preserve tradition. It would feel like a torment following rituals devoid of any spiritual significance.
That is the risk, my friends, of keeping spiritual transcendence as mere ritual
