These people can hardly be blamed for being indifferent to a higher spiritual culture. They cannot give sufficient attention to such a search for truth until they themselves are less hindered by the inevitable dependence on economic conditions. The basic human needs of sufficient food, clothing and medical treatment have to be satisfied before the cultural, religious, mystical or metaphysical needs. Hence, Adigalar has organized 'Anna Thanam' and 'Adai Thanam' and is now materializing a Hospital of World Order to serve the poor freely in particular, and the humanity in general. Religion gives solace to the weary mind in the earth-plane.
Religion explains life's mystery to man.
Religion shows the path to the immortal abode. Philosophy or Vedantham is theoretical religion, and religion is practical philosophy. Philosophy is forever searching, inquiring and questioning. Religion is sensing, realizing and experiencing. The idea of death is the motive power of religion and religious life.
