It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still to conquer our internal nature. It is grand and good to know the laws that govern the stars and planets; it is infinitely grander and better still to know the laws that govern the passions, the feelings, the will, of mankind. This conquering of the inner man, understanding the secrets of the subtle workings that are within the human mind, and knowing its wonderful secrets, belong entirely to religion.
Vivekananda, Complete Works, 2-5 Jnana-Yoga
Religion is meant to help us heal, purify. understand and over come the limitations of the human mind. It is there to help us understand God...the Source of Consciousness. We often get it all wrong and distort and twist it so it helps us conquer everything out there without taking ownership of the inner world. We mix up and cling to this idea of God.
Then there is the yogi who knows, God alone is real.
Hmm!
Chit Shakti. Consciousness and energy emanate from the same Source and that is God

You were created so God could experience creation through you! Self-realization is the greatest connection with God.
All is well.
