Dinesh Kamath's views about God and religion

What is my idea of God? I believe that God is not any particular idol. God is goodness. A man doesn't become religious just by uttering mantras and performing rites and rituals. A man who carries out all the religious practices but chooses to be bad cannot be called religious. A man can be called religious only if he is good. He need not utter any mantra. He need not perform any rite or ritual. But he has to be good. Only then he can be called religious. Being good is being religious.
Nature has created both good and bad things in this world. It is man who accumulated all the good things and gave it a name. He called all these good things God. All the bad things put together was referred to as Devil. Nature has made Rose. Nature has made Cactus even. Man loves Rose. Man hates Cactus. What I mean to say is that world has both good and bad elements in it. All the good elements are constantly in war with all the bad elements. There is good and bad things even among our own selves and we find the conflict between good and bad taking place even within our own selves. History has proved that Good always triumphs over Bad ultimately. I'll talk more about this some other time. Bye!
