It is on record that this man had been creating and establishing different religions at different times and at different places and because of science and technology, the people have near to each other. And because of these mingling they had to decide the methods through which they could maintain peace amongst all. And because of these mingling, they could invent two new concepts of secularism and toleration and they also came out with a concept of no discrimination with others only on the basis of religions, castes, colours and creed. But in spite of all these concepts, this man could not maintain peace and people are at war with each other.

There had four or five religions in the beginning, but in due course so many people took up the religion as a base and they started creating and establishing so many sub religions i. e. religions in religions. The people who occupied the seats of power on these sub units started explaining the main contexts of all the religions and in fact they started to establish a common religion, which they could not. Actually whatever they had been pronouncing from these stages were bit sincere efforts on their parts. They had been on these stages just to earn their livelihood and in due course, they noticed that they could collect thousands of people around them and they started collecting cash and kind which had more than their demands. So they started living like lords and in secrecy some of them had been indulging in all types of sins, crimes and misconducts. Money would never allow a person to live peacefully and money so collected be utilized for religious purposes. They started free kitchens which are most attractive in India and in due course the gatherings had been increasing.

The people who had been collecting around these people running sub religious units could become religious people or not, it is a question which we should not try to answer, but these gatherings could bring disturbances in the areas. The people running these sub religious institutions started establishing that they are the best and the most religious persons and for guarding the cash and kind and also their own bodies, they are deploying armed people around them. When such persons are having armed people around them remained religious people. It is a question which shall demand a correct answer.

People like one available in India are mostly illiterate, poor and traditional and therefore, they want guidance from religious people. Since these people who are running these sub units are most wise people and they know the psychology of the people. They are not giving them any advice, but they are just exploiting their ignorance. They had been successful because in India, we shall be facing difficulties in collecting correct information. The money collected at these sub religious places had been utilized for a right cause, is a question, which would never be answered because everyone of us would not like to comment adversely at a religious place because such type of utterances could open the doors of Hell for us.

People of all shades are turning wiser and therefore, they are having an introspection. But still they are going to these sub stations because they believe that the person who is holding the charge is vested with some magical powers and he shall be able to treat them and shall bring our demands before God and shall recommend for the fulfillment of our demands. Some person holding the charge of these sub units have also started giving treatment and they are trying to establish that they could treat a person who has been discharged from professional institutions. We have seen people approaching these runners of these sub units for solving their family problems and sometime they approach in a panchayat so that their matrimonial relations are restored.

Since money collections are on higher side, more and more people are collecting at these sub units and we have also noted that more and more sub units are being established and in fact the real religious places are no more attracting the devotees. The devotees have stopped visiting religious places situated at far of places and they have started visiting these sub units. Even the state shall not be in a position to stop such sub units because the state cannot interfere into the religious fields. If the people really want that all these religious sub units must close down, they should stop offering cash and in kind at all these sub units and within days the people who are running these sub units shall run away and would never come back. It clearly means that when the people are offering money and other articles at these sub units, so these sub units are flourishing and if we stop these offerings, these sub units shall not run and the occupiers shall also run away.
